Also, we say goodbye to dear friend, icon, and all-around delight John Sterling. Gone but never forgotten.

Well, has Yu Darvish ever asked YOU for pitching advice?

Baseball and brackets and bosses, oh my. The NY Post's Mike Vaccaro is on to talk about his new book, "The Bosses of the Bronx" and George Steinbrenner, an owner like no other.

Also: The WBC is headed toward a David and Goliath showdown, Leap Year should have won an Oscar (duh), and Love is Blind actually DID deliver the Most...Dramatic...Reunion...Of...All...Time.
