Disappointment...

..life is full of it, and there was plenty of it over the weekend.

North Carolina - So long.

UCLA - Thanks for playing.

My chances of winning the NCAA Men's Tourney Pool I'm entered in - Out the Window.

Josh Beckett and the Boston Red Sox - Had a lost weekend above the border in getting swept pretty soundly by the Blue Jays.

The Boston Bruins ended up as the 8th seed in the NHL playoffs and will face the (gulp!) Montreal Canadiens in the first round of the playoffs, a team they haven't defeated in over a year. Disappointing for the Bruins, but looking favorable for me in the friendly wager that I have on the outcome of the series.

Though, I'm a little worried that this series will prove to be the reverse of the Canadiens-Bruins 2003 first round series where the Bruins were the top seed and blew a 3-1 series lead in losing to the eighth-seed Canadiens, 4 games to 3.

Poster children for Disappointment were the batters on my fantasy baseball team, non-existent in going 17 for 77 (for a .220 average), and Seattle's bullpen blowing a win in Felix Hernandez' eight inning gem against Baltimore on Sunday.
