If your a Yankee fan, which I assume many of you are, it was a pleasant weekend. The yanks took 2 of 3 from Detroit and start the season on a high note.
The season is about 1.7% complete, which means it's still very meaningless to look for patterns and trends in these games.
However, Positives: Mark Teixeira is avoiding his notoriously slow starts, hitting 3 run homes in the first 3 games, A.J. Burnett pitched decent in his first outing of the season, look for him to build off that.
Don't Put too much stock in Boston being swept to open up the season, they'll be times where the Red Sox will be 5 games back and they'll be times when the Yankees are 5 games back. That all happens over the course of a 162 game season, it's just how it is.
And wouldn't ya know it, loud mouth Buck Showalter and the Baltimore Orioles are 3-0 and reside in 1st place, interesting to see how long before they start to fade.
The 2011 NCAA Tournament will be coming to a close tonight, a matchup that features runner-up from last year, Butler Bulldogs, and the Big East's savior, the Uconn Huskies.
My Final Four Predictions were correct as I picked Uconn and Butler to meet for the Title Game, 2 of 2 100% Correct. Entire Tournament - 39 of 62 , 63% Correct
3. Uconn vs 8. Butler - I will admit this is the toughest game of the entire Tournament for me to pick. Like I've been saying how can I go against Kemba Walker and Uconn after they stormed through the Big East Tournament and then on short rest continue to power past every opponent night in and night out on their way to this very game.
What more can you say about Butler, they lost to Duke last year in the Finals and entered this year's Tournament as an 8 seed. Shelvin Mack and Matt Howard seem so determined to finish what they missed out on last year, knocking off juggernauts like Pitt and Florida, being gritty, finding ways to win games, and it's landed them back to the very spot their dream ended one year ago.
This time, butler won't be denied, the experience they gained in last years finals loss and will trump the Huskies in a thriller from Houston, dreams do come true, what a Senior send off it will be for Howard and Mack. Prediction - Butler
