Spring Cleaning

On the John

I guess he'll head off to the Masters this weekend. I hope someone tells him you're not supposed to scream and yell at this event.

...I never thought I'd see Michael Jordan ride a bus to a double-A baseball game. Many doubted his devotion to the sport.

I think Jordan has answered their questions. He may never make it to the majors, and something still tells me he'll be a Bull some day soon. But so far, I tip my hat to his attitude and persistence.

But, no Mike, you probably wouldn't be a hero if there were no sports.

....The NHL has got to take a firmer stance against Mario Lemieux.

For those who missed it, two nights ago, Lemieux first threw his stick at referee Kerry Fraser from the penalty box to display his disgust at one of Fraser's calls. Then, after Fraser ejected him, he charged out of the penalty box and had to be restrained by a couple of his Penguin teammates, although he still blasted the ref.

Lemieux left nothing for the imagination in voicing his feelings. And the league responded with a slap on the wrist. There was no suspension--just a 500 dollar fine.

Something tells me if it hadn't been Lemieux, the punishment would have been more strict.

.....Here's to Boston College for making this NCAA tournament more interesting than usual. And here's to seeing B.C. and UMass in the Final Four next year.

A long shot? Sure, but so are the Red Sox and they are well on their way to winning the World Series.
