MLB Opening Day

Today is the day, well kind of, I haven't gone to bed yet but we are past midnight. In about 9 hours I'll head up to Wrigley Field for the Cubs opener vs. the Milwaukee Brewers. I've been to the last few Opening Days, but there is honestly nothing like it. The pure electricity in the building of all the fans knowing they have a clean slate to work with this year is unbelievable. I just hope this can be a year for my Cubbies to go further than last year's successes.

On to other things, my Angels pick does not look so hot after the whole Escobar season ending injury and Lackey being out for an unknown period of time. I still think they will make the playoffs, but they are going to need one or more of their young pitchers to step up and fill the role of these pitchers as long as they are out.

Four #1 seeds in the Final Four. At least that will end speculation of who the best teams have been all season. That is going to be a fun weekend for basketball.

Shoutout to IU baseball. Their opening weekend series in the Big 10 got them a split. Those 2 wins are 1 more than they had on the road all of last year. They have some serious talent this year and look to be much better than the previous years.

Going to see Modest Mouse and R.E.M. in concert June 6 up in Chicago. Absolutely can't wait, due to my love for Isaac Brock and Modest Mouse. Phenomenal band. Not to mention I get to see R.E.M. on top of it. Can't wait.

Little 5 week coming up down at IU. It starts April 6 and the race is on Saturday the 12th. Greatest. College. Weekend. Ever. Not sure that I'll be coherent to write during that week BUT, I am sure I will, and I am sure you'll enjoy some of the stories.

That's all for tonight. Got to get some rest. Adrenaline is really rushing through my veins for this Opener tomorrow. Hopefully I'll bring back a win. How about we take the song of the night from Modest Mouse tonight. We'll take "Ocean Breathes Salty." This song was picked at my brother's request. It happens to be his favorite. While it's not my personal favorite, it is very easy to listen to. If you do happen to like the song and want to hear more Mouse, leave me a message and I can turn you on to much more of their music.

One more note...

GO CUBBIES!!!
