March always brings good things. It’s when Spring Training is in full swing. There’s games on TV (although not as many as I’d like), and many on radio, and since the advent of MLB.com and XM Radio, I can now pretty much listen to almost any (broadcast) game anytime I want. This is good. In fact, as I write this I’m paying attention to a Twins/Phillies spring training game. The regular season is about two weeks away, which means daily Rangers games for six months! This is the good part of March.
The BAD part is all the FRIGGIN COLLEGE BASKETBALL HIGHLIGHTS on the TV! I can’t escape them! Every time I see another college basketball highlight, I want to pull my hair out from underneath my BASEBALL cap! Bleargh – I can’t stand basketball to begin with, and college basketball? Don’t waste my time – I need to see this many baseball highlights, thank you.
There has never been a term so accurate as March MADNESS. How so many people could be into college basketball is beyond my comprehension.
