Day after Opening Day

Talk first about whether th Nats game should have been on TV instead of Yanks/Sawks. TK thinks that's crazy talk, since NY/Boston is TV gold.

Also, thoughts about Opening Night and TK helping out Andy, who couldn't get his media credential.

HD Nation

Talk amongst the HD owners about how big your set should be.

Inside baseball, PTi did not talk about the Masters, since a)it's inconclusive right now and b) it's on at the same time and they might drive viewers away.

TK has Tiger and Phil in his Masters Pool. He also doesn't any great desire to play augusta, although he wants to play Pine Valley (which Jaws said he can make happen).

SC asks about golf etiquette and taking up people on invitations to play super courses.

Sportswriters who Say Ni

Of course, we start with Yanks/Sawks and also the Nats (last night's game, not on TV).

** Lenny Shapiro -- from Augusta, lots of rain
** LeBatard -- berating the Hateable One for stealing Tony's bit. Also, they talk about going to see Spamalot on Broadway a few weeks ago.

Yanks/Sawks

TK talks about the Sox/Yanks game this afternoon. Another blown save for Mariano Rivera.

Also, more talk about becoming Gary's assistant. Knocke has been the recipient of Gary's temper and it's not really fun.

Nats TV?

More griping about the Nats TV situation. TK is still annoyed about Andy's kvetching regarding the TV deal.

Tk talks about his proudest bit in thePost -- the April Fools story in the Sunday magazine about the Senators returning to DC.

Also, will TK attend the exhibition on Sunday? If the weather allows.
