    What a disgrace that such a good game has to end like this. Talk about unsportsmanlike conduct.

    And might I add that Russell Wilson is the next Tom Brady. Someone made a very bad call on that last play ....it was not Russell.

    I wanted the Pats, so I am happy, but Seattle blew it. Why not run Marshawn Lynch 3 times from the one yard line.

    Russell Wilson is a class act!

    Just got done watching JJ Hardy and Adam Jones of the Orioles play catch with two young kids from the stands before a spring training game with the Yankees.

    Also had a chance to see Alex Ridriguez give a young Yankees fan a signed batting glove.

    I love coming down for spring training, you realize these guys play a kids game and are heroes to so many young boys and girls. Nice to see them spend time with the kids signing autographs, talking and playing catch with them.

    ---spring training and going to practice rounds at the Masters are two of my favorite things I do. I will never forget seeing Phil Mickelson take off his watch and hat and giving them to a young fan in a wheelchair at a Masters practice round.

    Go O's !!!!

    BD my grandson adores JJ Hardy and the Oriels. My son took him to a Red Sox Oriels game in Baltimore last year highlight of his year. Glad you are having a good trip. We have tickets to see the Sox play Tampa Bay in April with the grandkids. Can"t wait!

    Camden Yards is really nice in Baltimore.

    Are you ready for March Madness?
    Can Kentucky run the table for a perfect season?

    I've already cleared my schedule on April 6th so I can watch the Reds opening day parade and the game. I'm probably a little too much of a fanatic but I look forward to the start of the baseball season every year. :)

    BD how do you feel about all the controversy surrounding Pete Rose being/not being reinstated to MLB? I have to say I'm a little on the fence about it. He was a great player (they didn't call him Charlie Hustle for nothing) but then again there's all the gambling issues to consider. Personally, I feel like there are players who have done far worse who are still in the game but I'm not the one making all the decisions either.

    I guess only time will tell what the baseball higher ups decide to do about Pete.

    Hey lulu

    Personally I say let him back in the game and the Hall of Fame.
    1. He never bet on a game as a player and that is what he would be inducted as, a player.
    2. As a manager he always bet on his team to win so he always managed to win.

    I agree, players are in the hall for far worse offenses, domestic violence, rape ect....
    But
    I can see both sides, a rule is a rule, but me, he deserves to be back in the game and hall of fame as a player. I believe in second chances god knows they give them to players for cheating the game with steroids which are illegal in society. Me and you would be in jail!

    I hope Joey Votto has a good year, I like him

    I want Kentucky in the Final 4 but something tells me Wisconsin is not going to be easy to beat. My wife wanted Gonzaga. Anybody but Duke will be ok for me.

    The Reds squeaked out a win (5-2) against the Pirates on opening day Monday. Tie game (2-2) going into the bottom of the 8th inning til Todd Frazier hit a 3-run homer giving the Reds the lead.

    Pitcher Aroldis Chapman held off the Pirates in the 9th to give the Reds the win and hopefully just the first of many more to come.

    GO REDS!!
