Watched the MLL's Rochester Rattlers beat the Long Island Lizards last night, 17-13, to win the Eastern Conference in Major League Lacrosse, even with one game left. I really love lax, both the college game, the pro game, and the indoor game. While we only have Division III college lax in town, Syracuse (where I got my MBA) is right down the Thruway, and I've always rooted for them. Our two pro teams, the Rattlers and the Rochester Knighthawks, in the National Lacrosse League (NLL), are perennial powerhouses, and fun to watch.
While the Knighthawks have won their league's championship twice, the Rattlers have yet to do so (and everyone thought they were going to last year, until they lost a heart breaker at home in the semis.). This year, they'll be favored to win (again), and I hope they come through.
Anyway, between packing, organizing, and cleaning, it was a nice break.
