- The four-game series between the Kansas City Royals and Cleveland Indians, which begins tonight, will be the best barometer to date on the 10-5 record of the Royals. K.C. could be accused of having played a very easy schedule to date and in the Indians will face the division leader.
- If you didn't see the end of yesterday's NASCAR Sprint Cup Series race in Talladega, find the highlight. The winning margin of 0.002 seconds was the closest ever in NASCAR history. I thought Clint Bowyer was going to hold off Jimmie Johnson but Dale Earnhardt, Jr. helped push the 48 car to victory.
- Speaking of Talladega, it was a good day yesterday for Chevrolet--six of the eight top finishers drove Chevys, including the top five.
- That marathon called the NBA Finals started with some drama over the weekend. Both New Orleans and Memphis upset their higher seeded opponents yesterday and Atlanta did so on Saturday.
- If you're a Kansas football fan, you have to look longingly at Missouri's roster of quarterbacks given that the best Jayhawk QB isn't even on campus this spring. And, at that, he's a freshman--recruit Brock Berglund. It appears, in Columbia, that James Franklin won the starting nod over Tyler Gabbert exiting spring practice.
- North Carolina's Harrison Barnes said he's coming back for his sophomore season which means the Tarheels will likely be the preseason #1 pick in college hoops. UNC not only has Barnes back but also Tyler Zeller, John Henson, Dexter Strickland and Kendall Marshall.
- The Boston Red Sox have won two in a row, bringing the team back off of life support. The Bosox are now 4-10 with a home series beginning tonight against Toronto.
- Sign of the apocalypse: Joe Lunardi of ESPN actually has a bracketology out--for the 2012 NCAA Mens Basketball Tournament. If you're interested, Lunardi has Kansas as a seven seed and Kansas State as an eight seed; Missouri isn't listed among the 68 team field. Texas is a one seed.
Joe obviously doesn't have faith in Haith.
