WTP Review: MLB At Bat 2010 (iPhone Edition)
Your favorite team playing but you’re stuck at work? Yanks v. Red Sox but you’re at a wedding reception? Subway Series but you’re being dragged to the mall by your significant other? What’s one to do? Welcome MLB At Bat 2010.

4. April 2010
Anyone else feel somewhat uncomfortable throughout this exchange? I really needed to get a beer at this moment but felt strangely compelled to watch the whole incident unfold. As said by a friend, Pope (a big Blue Devils fan): “Usually in those situations people say, ‘give him air.’ Huggins took the opposite approach.” But I do hope [...]
Continue reading...Final (Four) Predictions
18. March 2010
Finally, some predictions and my official Final Four predictions: 1. Siena will make the Elite Eight. Duke is in the easiest bracket but the Blue Devils will be upended in the Sweet 16 by the Saints. Good reigns over evil yet again. 2. UTEP will make the Sweet 16. UTEP actually has a lot of talent [...]
Continue reading...Lastly, a Look at the South
17. March 2010
Finally, the South… 1. #1 Duke Blue Devils v. #16 Arkansas-Pine Bluff Golden Lions – As much as I would love to hate on the dookies, my Heels are in the NIT so I won’t say anything. 2. #8 California Golden Bears v. #9 Louisville Cardinals – Cal is one of the more disappointing teams in the [...]

17. March 2010
Now let’s look at the West Region. 1. #1 Syracuse Orange v. #16 Vermont Catamounts – Vermont lost to Binghamton this year. 2. #8 Gonzaga Bulldogs v. #9 Florida State Seminoles – Interestingly enough, the Zags are the underdogs despite being the higher seed. I suppose that’s what happens when you sell out big time in the [...]
Continue reading...A Look at the East Region
16. March 2010
Now a look at each of the matchups in the East: 1. #1 Kentucky Wildcats v. #16 East Tennessee State Buccaneers – John Wall should have his own personal SportsCenter Top 10 from this one. 2. #8 Texas Longhorns v. #9 Wake Forest Demon Deacons – Two pretty disappointing teams, with Texas being the more disappointing of [...]

16. March 2010
Let’s take a quick look at each of the matchups in the Midwest Region: 1. #1 Kansas Jayhawks v. #16 Lehigh Mountain Hawks – Well, the line is at 26 and the O/U at 146. If Kansas doesn’t score 100, I’ll be disappointed. 2. #8 UNLV Rebels v. #9 Northern Iowa Panthers – I think I heard [...]
Continue reading...An Early Look at the Madness
15. March 2010
Ah yes, March Madness is finally here. A time for Cinderellas, upsets, and a bunch of college kids enjoying the time of their lives. And for me, a reminder of how bad North Carolina was this year. I’ll be posting a more in-depth look at the field later on but here are my early thoughts [...]

11. March 2010
The time has finally come…for Writing the Pine’s very first podcast! Yes, we are extremely lazy with our posting so we figured we’d give podcasting a shot. It’s a new frontier we’re entering and hopefully you will be entertained by our thoughts. For our first show, Rich (fivetool), Anderson, Gene (Final Word), and Dave talk [...]

5. March 2010
I read tonight on foxsports.com that Elin Nordegren has agreed to move back in with Tiger Woods. And now I’m wondering why in the hell she would do such a thing. He cheated on her God knows how many times and honestly, what’s going to make him stop? A little sex therapy? The guilt he [...]
