Basically, put another way, is Jon Lester a No. 3 starter on a world champion? When Curt Schilling was officially put on IR for three to four months, maybe longer, this became a question. Lester has shown flashes of brilliance and, maybe even more flashes of frustration. Like Dice-K, his problem is strikes and consistency. [...]
I was wrong. I missed both games last night. My 11-year-old son got both games right. In fact, he got them right more than two weeks ago when the brackets were drawn up.

Here it goes: Saturday games UCLA 75, Memphis 69 … I “Love” UCLA in this game UNC 89, Kansas 80 … Kansas is very good. UNC is great. I will give you my championship pick on Monday.
It’s official. Arizona Cardinals quarterback Matt Leinart will never be confused with Tom Brady. The “pictures” are out all over the World Wide Web, which is a landscape us Baby Boomers still don’t quite understand just yet.

That’s right. Another loaded question. Johan Santana looks like a Cy Young Award winner on opening day and the Sox have questions marks at the starting pitcher position. His 100 pitches in seven innings is something we haven’t seen much of around here outside of Josh Beckett. The answer, in my opinion, is still yes. [...]
