I wrote my second article for RootZoo. It's about Stephen Strasburg the #1 baseball draft prospect in the country. He is a RHP for San Diego State and has an outstanding slider and a 94-98 mph fastball that can touch triple digits.

Here's a link to my article.
Stephen Strasburg Article

Here's a quick recap of this week's important sporting events.

NCAA Tournament
  • North Carolina looked really good by dismantling Gonzaga and then beating Oklahoma. Oklahoma's downfall was their terrible 3 point shooting.
  • The Villanova - Pitt ending was awesome. Villanova threw the ball away, Levance Fields hit both free throws to tie the game and then Scotty Reynolds drove the length of the court and hit a layup with .05 seconds, which won the game.
  • Michigan State pulled the upset over Louisville. Michigan State played the best defensive game they had played in a long time and maybe the best defensive game of the tournament.
  • UConn played a solid game holding off a dangerous Missouri team that wouldn't go away.
NHL
  • NY Rangers have lost 3 of their last 4 dropping to 7th in the east after losing a huge game to Pittsburgh on Saturday. Sidney Crosby scored the game winning goal for the Penguins to beat the Rangers 3-4.
NASCAR
  • Jeff Gordon has look really impressive this season. In his last 5 races he has finished 2nd - twice, in the top 5 - 4 times and in the top 10 - 5 times.
  • Jimmie Johnson won this week after finishing 3rd last week. After struggling in the first few races of the season he is starting to look like the 3-time defending champion.
Soccer
  • United States vs. El Salvador. The United States simply did not come to play for the first 70 minutes of the game. El Salvador went all-out from the beginning of the game and got out to a 2-0 lead. At about the 70th minute the US decided that they were going to try. For the rest of the game the US dominated and scored 2 goals (Altidore and Hejduk) to end the game in a 2-2 tie. This was an OK result considering Onyweu and Tim Howard were both not in the starting lineup.
