Week in Review with a little umbrella.
In colleges and high schools across the nation, it's Spring Break for our country's future. Just think, that future dentist who will be pulling teeth is currently taking pulls of tequila in Cancun. A future guidance counselor is hooking up with some guy she met on Daytona Beach. It's really a great week to be alive, and probably a good reason for why there are malpractice suits out there. How many brain cells are being killed this week?
ITEM ONE: The Minnesota State High School Hockey Tournament dominated local television this week. Hockey is to Minnesota what basketball is to Indiana, and I really think that there is Hoosiers type movie in there somewhere. It's a particularly interesting scenario, because the big Twin Cities area schools aren't always the winners (in fact, one of the teams playing in the Championship game in either class was a metro area team), so its a nice story. Congratulations to Roseau and Hermantown on their great seasons.
ITEM TWO: They are putting Heroes on hiatus until April, Studio 60 got shelved for The Black Donnelleys, or, as I call it, Total Crap, and the monster show once again on Monday nights is CSI:Miami. If there was ever an evening for me to get out of the house and do something, it would be Monday night. There aren't even any sporting events worth watching. I might just go up to Brainerd for no real reason but the drive.
ITEM THREE: Remember last week when I mentioned that the Wild were doing good to get a point in every game of their road trip? Well, when they went to New England, they got two points for every game of their road trip. Outstanding! They picked up a win against Colorado yesterday afternoon, and despite a loss at home to San Jose, they still find themselves in second place in the Northwest and in a virtual dead heat for 5th in the Western Conference. A playoff berth seems unavoidable. Naturally, this week, the Wild will not be on TV, save for tomorrow.
ITEM FOUR: I watched the Detroit Red Wings -Boston Bruins game yesterday and was impressed by the youth of Boston. They are getting chippy and feisty, obviously dissappointed in their season. The attitude they have, though, suggests a turnaround can't be too far off. Now, if they can get a goalie, they'll be in great shape.
ITEM FIVE: I've been reading the ESPN Fantasy baseball guide this week, and it really has me excited for the season to start. One player that was left out that I really think could make an impression on the world of fantasy sports (maybe not a huge one, but an impression nonetheless) is Jason Bartlett. He's shown a little pop at the plate, and last year demonstrated he can hit in the clutch, and make good contact for average. At a thin position, I say Bartlett is worth a gander.
Now if you'll excuse me, I'm off for a mojito. - Ryan

Boston was a fighting team. If their fans behaved, I'd like them better.
And Bartlett could have some fantasy value that might not be raelized. He won't have the home runs (I don't think), but he'll have average and runs going for him.
