NCAA Wrap Up and Baseball Preview

How 'bout them Tar Heels? While I didn't have them in my pool, and 'Nova, OU, Michigan State, and Mizzou threw wrenches in my bracket... I was happy with the tourney overall. Cleveland State, Siena, Western Kentucky and Wisconsin made it fun and kept it from being complete chalk. Also, seeing Hansborough win one and Mizzou make a run kept me smiling... as well as Kansas' early-ish exit and Illinois' VERY early exit. Can't wait for football season...

In the meantime, we've got NHL and NBA playoffs (which I'll cover at another time) and the baseball season starting... oh boy, baseball!
It's really early, and I'm no baseball expert... but he we go.

That's right, go Cards! Now if you have some free time and want to see a Cards-Cubs game in Chi-town, just let me know when you can make it up and I'll get the tickets. (yes, we could go to Royals-Sox as well)
