MLB Predictions/Catch up

John Berger
Reporter

We’re about three weeks removed from Opening Day, but the baseball season is still in its infancy. That means we’ve got enough time left to make some predictions.

AL East- New York Yankees. The Yankees didn’t have any big signings over the winter, but they did make a few beneficial moves. The AL East will be very competitive, but the Yankees are the best team. C.C Sabathia anchors the rotation, and Mark Teixera, Curtis Granderson, and Alex Rodriguez are part of a strong lineup. Granderson and Jeter are on fire thus far, each with an OPS over 1.000.

The Buffett Rule, proposed by President Obama has created an immense amount of tension leading to the upcoming Presidential election of 2012. The White House specifically stated the definition of the Buffett Rule: “No household making more than $1 million each year should pay a smaller share of their income taxes than a middle class family”. This seems like a reasonable statement, however that is not what President Obama has been encouraging throughout his speeches.

This is literally so sick bro

Gogo Jones

You know it as soon as you wake up; your eyes hurt, the sinuses are packed like conefederate cannons, and your mouth feels like an elmers glue factory. Yeah, you’re sick.

Getting out of bed when your sick is the ultimate feat, as well as stumbling in a daze towards the bathroom. Standing miserably in the shower, you wonder where exactly you went wrong- was it because you didn’t wash your hands after that third period wiz khalifa yesterday? Or perhaps a sip from that seemingly innocent solo cup last weekend? Either way the deed has been done and your immune system is getting spanked like a mischievous English school child.

Foreign isn’t always good.
This past weekend I was feeling very adventurous and decided to try something new by going to a different hair salon. Something new and fresh! (Let’s face it, I’m a total dweeb). Let me first describe my hair. It at times resembles Hagrid’s from Harry Potter. So, I only asked to get two inches cut off of my ‘fro. Keepin’ it safe, right?

NCAA March Madness part III

John Berger
Reporter

The second weekend of the NCAA tournament gave us a great slate of games. Every single one of the 12 games was entertaining in its own way. There are now just four teams that are left: Kentucky, Louisville, Ohio State, and Kansas. There are no more mid majors left in the field. Just the big boys. The four teams have combined for 49 final four appearances. That’s a ridiculous number.

Before we look ahead to this weekend, let’s look back at this past weekend and what we learned:
