Why does every jerk out there keep babbling, saying that this is the best day or the year? Everyone has it wrong: Today is, by far, the WORST sports day of the year. Joe Buck begins announcing games again, 10 million lame Yankee-Red Rox stories, the start of the dreaded Jim Nantz NCAA hoops-Augusta announcing craptacular, One Shining Moment, and pointless WNBA scores on the ESPN ticker just around the corner. Christ. At least hockey is still on strike.

You know it is a bad time for sports when the best thing you can look
forward to is the start of a new MLS season.
