On a day after a Mets game that we desperately need to forget, maybe it's best to consider what else is going on in the baseball world.

Although in the New York area where college baseball is not that popular, the College World Series has begun, at least the regionals. Last weekend the regionals were held throughout the country. And like its basketball counterpart, (admittedly no where near as popular) the NCAA picks a field of 64 teams at the outset.

Each regional is made up of four teams that battle in a weekend round robin that concludes on a Sunday or Monday depending on the number of games required. This year, none of the local colleges made the tournament.

Over this past weekend, the teams were whittled down to sixteen teams that will play in the Super Regionals to be held this weekend. Unlike the first round, the Super Regionals pit pairs of teams in a two of three playoff this weekend. The eight winners of the Super Regionals will play in the final round known as the College World Series (CWS).

The CWS is made up of two brackets of four teams that compete in a round robin format. The winners of each bracket play a championship two of three final round. 

The CWS starts on June 13 and concluded on June 23 or 24 depending on the championship round. This weekend's Super Regionals games and the CWS can be seen on ESPN, ESPN2, or ESPNU.
