Best time of the year!

It is fast approaching... Yes the best damn time of the sports year! You have March Madness and Opening Day fast approaching!!!! 

Lets start out by choosing the NCAA Tourney....

My Bracket


I did choose Ohio State as my Champion. I have never won any pools in my life. While I have heard about people winning by simply choosing the colors of the teams they like. huh wish I was that lucky!

I am pulling for the Illini of course but I have them going to the 2nd round even though I do not belie they should be in the tourney at all. They should be a 3 seed in the NIT. But gota give them one win...

My final 4 (Ohio St, UCon, Kansas, St. Johns)

I was back and forth on the Ohio St. vs UCon game... Lets hope I chose wisely....


OK now onto MLB!!!!

I am a Cardinals fan but I did not let that deter me from choosing a NL Central Champion.

This year I belive the NL Champs will be the BREWERS...

My predicted order of finish is:


I think the brewers stepped up and got the pitching they needed and have the firepower in their order to do big things this year! More baseball talk later... Predictions of NL Champs/AL Champs, World Series and NL/AL MVP and Rookies all coming soon....
