For the first time in years, I am not in any NCAA bracket pools (even though my office has one). For the record here are my picks (and yes, they were made before the games started).
Midwest – Florida, Purdue, Old Dominion, Maryland, Notre Dame, Oregon, GA Tech, Wisconsin – Second Round Florida, MD, ND, Wisc. [...]

Whenever I think of Pete Rose, I also think of Mantle’s story about him.  Mantle recalls one day in spring training about 1962 when they were playing the Reds.  Rose was playing the OF and Mickey says he crushed one over Rose’s head.  Mantle says there was no doubt about it, the ball was headed [...]

As far as I am concerned Wang is No. 1 (he must start opening day because he is the Yankees best pitcher); Pettitte is No. 2 and I would demote Mussina to No. 4.  Make Karstens No. 3.  In my opinoion we will never win depending on the Moose.

Did you hear the Pete Rose clip form the Dan Patrick interview [...]

I actually was able to watch about 7 innings (missing innings 5 and 6) of last night’s game.  I was very, very pleased with Jeff Karstens’ outing last night.  He’s got 4 pitches: Curveball, Changeup, Tailing fastball and Slider.  He is not overpowering.  His best pitch is the Changeup but last night his curveball was [...]
