The NCAA final four is tonight, with Georgetown playing Ohio State at 6 pm and UCLA playing Florida at 8:47 pm. To which we say, go anyone but Georgetown!

And the start of baseball season is tomorrow. Since the first game of baseball season is on April Fools' Day, we're wondering how that's going to impact the teams playing on that day. If you're a superstitious fan, you might be worried that either the Mets or the Cardinals are going to punk you somehow.
But we're just waiting for the real deal on Monday, when the Red Sox play the Kansas City Royals. Curt Schilling and Gil Meche will face off. The first home game for the Red Sox will be the afternoon of the 10th against Seattle.
The Daisuke Matsuzaka Mania continues to build before he actually pitches next Thursday, and we're wondering how the guy can possibly live up to the hype. A long, loving AP interview shows us Dice-K "the man" instead of Dice-K "the pitcher." He digs golf and spinach wraps. He doesn't like onions. He thinks Angelina Jolie is hot. No word yet if he likes long walks on the beach.
