I know it’s been a while, but there’s good reason for that. The Enterprise web site basically got very, very sick and we weren’t able to have anything online for a while. It’s back in a limited capacity right now, and let’s just cross our fingers that it will be around for a while.

It’s funny because even my dad called to ask why the blog wasn’t around. Of course I know the real thing he wanted to know was why he wasn’t able to check on the town meeting stuff on the main web site, but it’s nice that he at least feigned some interest in my opinions on sports. He’s a good guy like that.

So while we were away I picked the winner in the NCAA office pool, and made $0 for my efforts. My buddy Akku gave me the entry fee and then asked me to fill out a bracket for him since he didn’t have any time to do it himself. Since I love filling out brackets, I figured it’d be fun.

My strategy for Akku’s bracket was simple, any game that I was up in the air about on my own bracket I went the other way with. Wouldn’t you know that I nailed three of the final four (the most of anyone), and had UNC winning it all. How about that? For my efforts I got a free Coke Zero from his White Hen, so I got that going for me, which is nice.

In the meantime I’ve been assigned the Mashpee sports beat, along with Falmouth. It’s been downright crazy. Dan Crowley, my sports boss, and I have always referred to the spring season as “The Beast.” Well The Beast is rearing its ugly head as the games pile up and all seem to happen at the same time. On Thursday I had 11 games going on at the same time. I made an appearance at three and got usable notes at most of those, but not a ton of substance.

Right now I’m watching Sox-Angels from the left coast. Wakefield is doing his usual scare-the-heck-out-of-me thing, walking people, putting knucklers in the dirt and allowing extra base hits. Chone Figgins just jacked a double to give California/Anaheim/LA the lead. Oh well, it’s still early in the game, bu with Easter this weekend I don’t know how late I’ll make it into this one.

Happy Easter to all of you reading this. While I typed that sentence the Angels just scored two more.
