NCAA takes clever Twitter jab at Major League Baseball
Typically accustomed to being the punchline in jokes, the NCAA landed a clever jab of its own Tuesday night.
When Major League Baseball's official Twitter account proclaimed October the best month of the sporting calendar, the operator of the NCAA's March Madness account didn't need long to come up with the ideal response.
Questionable. RT @MLB: Tomorrow is October - the greatest month of the year. #postseason pic.twitter.com/Gs5k5i186d

Of course, the NCAA will get no argument from this blog that March Madness trumps anything the baseball playoffs can deliver, but Tuesday night was certainly not the night to make such an argument. Not after the Kansas City Royals rallied from a pair of deficits to edge Oakland 9-8 and extend their first postseason appearance in 29 years at least another week.
The theater provided by A's-Royals was so heart-pounding that it even converted a basketball player who starred in one of the great NCAA tournament games in recent memory.
October the best month out the year

October will be fun, no doubt. But the baseball playoffs will have to be awfully good to produce a list of great moments more fun than these.
