It’s always a controversial process and there’s always going to be somebody who’s dissatisfied, but the March Metness selection committee has made its picks and seeded the entries. Now it’s time to unveil the brackets that will play out over these next three weekends until we have a champion.
The goal, as always, is to see what emerges as the Quintessential Mets Thing. What will persevere through the field of 64 to stand alone as 2007’s icon of Metsiana? What phrase, what item, what word or words will, come the finals on April 2, stand alone as that most Metsian of Metsian totems?
Enough talk. You’ve got office pools to get in on and brackets [1] to fill out.
