The Delta House

This is, without question, my favorite week of the year. And if you are a sports fan, this is your favorite week, too.

Let's take today for starters. Major League Baseball Opening Day, a day so big that the President of the United States takes the time to throw out the first pitch! The day when the Boston Red Sox begin their campaign to win another World Series. (For those keeping score, that would be one World Series Championship for the Red Sox and none for the Yankees this century!)

As if that wasn't enough for today, there is that little NCAA National Championship Game that is on tonight. Hopefully the UCLA Bruins will git-r-dun against the much-hated Florida Gators.

Then there is the Women's NCAA National Championship Game tomorrow night, which looks like an ACC Championship game to me. Of course I rank most women's sports somewhere below NASCAR and slightly above soccer, but it is a championship game, so it's worth mentioning.

And of course, one of the grandest traditions in all of sports starts on Thursday, The Masters. Will Tiger win it again? If so, what will Fuzzy Zoeller have to say about it?

On top of these big events, NHL & NBA teams are gearing up for the playoffs and the NFL draft is coming up too. And on a personal level, we started softball practice this past Saturday and our first game is less than three weeks away!

Now I know that not all of you are into sports like I am, so I will post something different tomorrow. But for now, just smell that freshly-cut grass and try to fake your enthusiasm when the umpire cries out, Play Ball!
