It's the Most Wonderful Time of the Year

Ah, March. It's Championship Week, which, while exciting in its own right, is most alluring as a harbinger of the NCAA Tournament to come. That's right, it's almost pool time, bitches!

At the same time, baseball teams are in Florida and Arizona, pitching two innings at a time, being pulled after two at-bats, and trying to catch a glimpse of Daisuke Matsuzaka and Alex Gordon. Within a month, they'll be taking their hacks at Fenway and Wrigley and Bank of America Field by KPMG Peat Marwick, home of the San Francisco Razrs with Unlimited Mobile-to-Mobile Minutes.

Perhaps most enticing is the promise of spring in Maine, just a month around the corner. Or is it two months?

Or three?
