This is as close as a baseball fan gets to the orgy of sports that is the Thursday and Friday of the NCAA Tourney. I'm watching two games in HD and only Rupert's illegal failure to convert (where's Mike Powell when you need him ... oh) keeps me from seeing the Cubs-Braves game tonight in the same format.

My rotation predictions look pretty solid considering when I did them, so I'm happy with that. I won't go into more detail because BP has them covered, especially Joe Sheehan's great piece. Joe is one of few writers that with one column can complerely change my opinion and once again, he did it.

If you're not following the White House's criminal actions - and they aren't - you should be reading www.talkingpointsmemo.com. (Yeah, I still need to do links, but I'm lazy and don't you think it looks 'retro?') Karl Rove is done, but I also dislike the talk that Novak was wrong. He reported a story and is protecting sources. I know a little about that - nothing on the lines of Novak, but I guess I'm a journalist now, like it or not.

Man, we're going to tell our grandchildren about watching Bonds. I can't imagine seeing a better player in my lifetime.
