LeBron and Laodicean

On a night where King James drops a triple-double to propel his team to a ten point win over the Magic extending the series to game six.

A night where a game between the Twins and the Red Sox featured both team's starting catchers and managers getting ejected arguing calls in the same inning.

On a night full of NCAA Division 1 Softball Tournament games.

I was tuned to the Scripps National Spelling Bee. Kavya Shivashankar of Virginia is your 2009 spelling bee champion, the new Akeelah if you will.

You know why I was watching the spelling bee? Because ESPN covered the first few rounds and the finals were on prime time ABC. I know what you're thinking... What was the deciding word? It was "Laodicean." It means lukewarm or indifferent in religion or politics. Try using that in a sentence at some point throughout the day.

Enough with the spelling bee for now. Today I'm off to Greenville, North Carolina for the first round of the NCAA Division 1 Baseball Tournament. For those of you who don't know, I am currently a student at East Carolina University, who will be hosting Binghamton, George Mason, and South Carolina this weekend.

Check back tomorrow for news and notes from Day 1 of baseball's big dance.
