Spring is Here, and I'm Still Not Stuck with just Baseball!

God bless you Kentucky Wildcats and Montreal Canadiens. Thanks to you and your awesome seasons/postseasons I have much more to look forward than just a team that I think all realistic Reds fans believe have an uphill battle ahead of them.

First, my Kentucky Wildcats. What an unbelievable tournament run. Who could have imagined this? What John Calipari has done this tournament is nothing short of fantastic. Kentucky is the first team to beat three Final Four teams from the previous year in one tournament. That is astounding! You've all read the blogs and stories on them, so I wont bore you with regurgitating the pundits news and views. I'll just post this...

There is a 99% chance I rewatched this replay
55 times since Sunday afternoon. 
 
 Second, the Montreal Canadiens have put together yet another fantastic regular season. It is absolutely amazing how well they have been playing lately, and watching the shitty Maple Leafs fall apart is always hilarious. With the exception of the NCAA tournament, the NHL Playoffs are far and away the best postseason in sports. Obviously many of you without an NHL team to pull for will disagree, but that is simply just the way it is. NHL playoffs start the day tax season ends, how glorious is that?!

Finally, I did watch Opening Day for the Reds and there were definitely some promising things. A healthy Johnny Cueto could bode extremely well for this season. I am not concerned about Billy Hamilton going 0-4. I am concerned about runners on 1st and 3rd with 0 outs and not being able to generate a single run with the heart of our lineup. That is flat out unacceptable. First shutout on opening day in 60 years. Ouch.

Accidentally Abusive

So apparently I lied when I told my roommate I would never abuse her.

Clocked her pretty good last night in my sleep. Apparently had a pretty wild dream and woke up flailing that caught her with a pretty good right hook.

Whoops.


(Abuse isn't funny, accidental abuse is hilarious)
