As I wait anxiously for the actual start of the season (why can't everyone play on Sunday), I have a few things on my mind that I would love to get into. We have the NCAA Championship game tonight along with numerous MLB games, well maybe not numerous...
When are the geniuses in the Major League Baseball front office going to wise up and change the start of the season schedule. We already have two games canceled today, the Boston/Tampa and Chicago/Kansas City games. Can someone explain to me why on earth these games are being played in Boston and Chicago in the first week of April. Is it really that important to play these games in the northern part of the country to start the year? These are divisional opponents as well, they play 18 times during the season. You can't tell me that it is that big of a deal to play in a dome in April. Am I wrong here? What is going through MLB's mind? I am truly lost for words right now so I am going to jump to another topic.
I was talking to the Pitbull yesterday and he asked me if I thought if Michigan State won the game verses Connecticut or did Connecticut lose the game. This is probably the most commonly asked question in big games when a very good team loses to an underdog. I didn't even studder. "Michigan State totally out played UCONN!" Out hustled them in every aspect, and more importantly, in Pitbull's own words..."Out-muscled them!" I couldn't put it better myself. For the first time this season I saw a very good Husky team get "out-muscled", it was really stunning to watch. Say what you want about the Big Ten, but I really believe that UCONN's toughest games in the tournament were by their games against the Big Ten opponents (Purdue and MSU). And Coach Tom Izzo put it best that they are a blue-collared sort of team. That is exactly what the Big Ten is all about! They might not produce lottery picks, but the teams in the Big Ten are blue collar teams that leave it all on the court every night. They run offensive sets in the half court, and they will body it up with anyone, including a guy like Hashemm Thabeet.
I am so sick and tired of everything that doesn't have to do with sports. Netflix is driving me insane. I think that I have had Zack and Miri Make a Porno in my Queve for at least 2 months. Is there a problem Netflix? There must be! I went out for the first time and used a RedBox today. One dollar a day for a rental, and I was able to see Slumdog Millionaire this morning, which was great. So Netflix is getting closer and closer to cancellation, especially with me on the verge on buying a house. Also, HBO is another one driving me Nutz. I have been giving HBO the benefit of the doubt and been keeping it on my Directv package. But enough is enough. The movie selections are awful lately. The same movies all day long. And to make matters worse Directv just raised the price of HBO to 14.99 a month, a two dollar increase. April 17th is my next statement date, which will be the last day for HBO in my house. I gotta start saving and their is no better way to start then eliminating HBO and Netflix from my budget. Sorry guys but a man has to eat!
Finally, back to the game tonight. I am sure that most of you heard that Magic Johnson gave the Spartans a speech before their game verses UCONN. Well, tonight a special guest is suppose to be in the Tarheel locker room before the game. That's right, it's today's Hall of Fame inductee Michael Jordan. Magic verse Michael again?

Den, You know I never even thought of the MLB season starting in the sunnier south but college baseball always has Northeast schools travelling south to play and even some local High schools going down for April vacation. Just like many other bonehead things that my favorite commish fails to take care of, it really is a simple adjsutment. Sorry, I have to stop my post, we are about to go into a rain delay up here in CT. It is coming down in buckets.
