Out like a Lion

Its the end of March in Chicago, so you know what that means. Sun, 70's, huge storms, damaging winds, and right into the 40s again. Well at least the weekend in sports cannot be topped.

Friday we are heading up to Milwaukee to catch an exhibition game between the White Sox and Brew Crew. We are sitting in the suite and it ought to be a blast. Plus Sox fans will get to bid adieu to El Caballo, Carlos Lee.

Saturday is the first night of the Final Four from St Louis. The March the Arch is complete for Illinois, Michigan St, North Carolina, and Louisville. There is a definate midwest flavor this year. My finals picks of NC and Illinois are still alive, but I would love to see Michigan St upset the Tar Heels, and have an all Big Ten finale.

Sunday will actually be an off day. No baseball, no Big Dance.

Monday is the ultimate day in pro sports in not so humble opinion. It is opening day in professional baseball, and it is the NCAA finals at night. I haven't missed a White Sox opener in quite a few years now, I think this will make 10 in a row. Tailgates will be the popular spot to start the day, and the couch or bar will be the place to end it.

Damn I can hardly wait to get through today.
