Diamondbacks baseball started today. I know, I know, most people — non D-back’s fans — think it started yesterday with that 16-6 loss to the Cubbies, but since they won tonight, I say let’s forget yesterday’s game and just start the season over today. If Javier Vasquez is supposed to be our replacement for Randy Johnson, we are in for another loooooonnnnggg season ! I hope he just had opening day jitters yesterday and his next start will show us the fine form for which we hired him.
I must admit I was sorely disappointed for the Illinois basketball team last night. I think with the fantastic season they had, they should have won the championship. But North Carolina played like the Wildcats did a couple of weeks ago, only THEY didn’t let down at the end. So I guess they deserved the win. But I did feel for the Ilini.
