Another Weekend, Another Sports Post

[przed]

We're visiting my mom up north, and three generations of Zed women had their favourite teams playing today. Only one of us is happy tonight. (Alas, it isn't me.)

Wisconsin just finished playing an incredibly close game against Kentucky. Unfortunately, they had some really messy moments and lost by a single point. But they played their hearts out, and I have to admit that Kentucky really deserved their win. (Doesn't mean I wouldn't have taken the win, though.)

Ros' Leafs played Winnipeg. They had to win tonight to have a hope of making the playoffs, but Winnipeg took them out.

The one bright spot was my mom's beloved Blue Jays took down the hated Yankees , 4 - 0.

At least Wisconsin gets to play the consolation game on Monday, but it's just not the same.

Of course they don't. (Our local paper lied.)

The Badger game was a nail biter, especially in the second half. (My mom even got into it, and was rooting for Wisconsin along with me. This is extraordinary, because pretty much my whole life when I'd be watching basketball, things always pretty much went this way: Mom: Which one's your team? Me: The Celtics/Badgers. Mom: Right, I'm rooting for the other ones. She's definitely mellowed, a little, in her old age.)

Ros will certainly be learning about end of season disappointment if she stays devoted to the Leafs. (I'm horrible, but it's totally true. They haven't won the Stanley Cup since the year the Sweetie was born.)

You and my mom would totally get along. She loathes the Yankees. Once the Jays are out of the running, she'll root for whoever has the best chance of taking out the Yankees.
