I said high A-ball. Setting your low A-ball lineups? That's nuts.

Re: Games, Apps, 'n Stuf

Just got it a couple of days ago. I'm a little miffed that I can't set my team's high-A roster, and I could have done without that 20-inning game in Game 3, but otherwise I'm good to go.

Re: 2013 Final Four

Michigan fans have nothing to be ashamed of but man, it's gotta be tough to look at the box score and see that Albrecht got 28 minutes while Stauskas got 19. And I didn't realize that 80's pop star LeVert played 12. Michigan has some of the most unpredictable rotations I've seen.

It's important for Louisville to get physical and maybe borderline dirty early on. Michigan's weakness is that they are young and averse to really physical play.
