Baseball and Sweet 16 has me yawning

Let me just say I am not excited for baseball and the Sweet 16

Baseball Starts next week and I am not excited, and I am the kind of fan who is always excited for baseball. I will watch any baseball game.. even a Royals game for the sole purpose of watching just to be able to say that I have now seen Willie Bloomquist play for his 15^th team. Then I can compare how bad he sucks with the Royals to how bad he sucked with the Mariners and every other team he played for. But somehow while watching I know one day he will replace Jamey Caroll as the Dodgers utility man. But this year I am just not that excited. First off opening day is on a Thursday? It’s always a Monday and correct me if I am wrong but I have a feeling they were all set to put it Monday April 4th until they realized that’s the national championship game and they don’t want to go up against it like they did in previous years and get no ratings. Also this year there is simply no story lines that get me excited, steroid chapter is over and we now have Jose Bautista as the defending home run champion. Whose happy now? Bring back steroids! But seriously what is the big storyline heading into this year? I am open to suggestions so email me achemerinsky@gmail.com if you can think of a storyline. Prince Fielder trying to eat his teamates since the Brewers can't feed him this season because they spent all their money on Greinke who secretly plays pickup basketball and now can't pitch even though everyone thought he never left his house doesn't count as a big story in L.A.

I am also not excited for any of these sweet 16 matchups. Are there any games Thursday or Friday you have circled as can’t miss games? Just give me the elite 8 and let me watch Duke try to defend Kemba, Kansas sleepwalk to the final 4 and Bo Ryan finally letting everyone realize what a great program Wisconsins been for the past 10 years. My final 4 predictions are.. Duke, Kansas,Wisconsin,Ohio St.
