Sorry, it’s been a rough couple days at work. While I’d like to supply you with a never-ending supply of proofreading and clever anecdotes, I have a day job that pays for this site. It’s been so busy that it has sort of stifled my creativity lately. You’ll just have to deal.

That being said, there’s still more March Radness to be had. Although we might as well call it April Radness now, since we’re ten days into the month and three days past the end of its namesake. Whatever. Let’s get down to business with the semifinals in the Isiah Region and the City Hall Region.

It seems like those who voted in the Isiah Region were Mets and Giants fans. Although even Jets fans will admit, Ticker Tape Parades are pretty awesome. But they’ll be pitted against the shiny new Citi Field, which handily beat New Yankee Stadium in the first round. Here’s to hoping the Citi Field experience won’t involve $9.50 beers.

Meanwhile, the beloved Shea Stadium Cow Bell Man faces the new pitching phenom, Johan Santana. Who do they Mets love more? One has the support of the entire stadium when he walks around with a bell. The other has no run support and gets a loss for allowing one run over seven innings.

In the City Hall Region, there’s a semifinal matchup between two has-beens. It’s hard to choose between Eliot Spitzer and Congestion Pricing. Both are pretty much dead, although Spitzer did make a public appearance with his wife earlier this week at NYU Medical Center. Couples therapy? Routine doctor visit? Castration? That’s your call.

Finally, in the other matchup, it’s Pigeon Extermination vs. Kristen. Wait, who’s Kristen? Does anyone remember? Poor girl… fame is fleeting. But does anyone actually believe that this city can rid itself of those sky rats when we have lonely elderly people who seek solace in disease-carrying birds? At least Kristen is hot.

Vote away, folks. Then, it’s on to the Elite 8!
