Spring and a Media Rant

I missed baseball on the first day of spring and have, once more, learned that I can't trust either the U of U athletics web site or The Salt Lake Tribune.
The Trib said today's Utes v. San Diego State baseball game was at 1pm (it was not corrected on their web site as of 5pm), the U's web site said 6, as did San Diego State's. I could've gone at 6 if I didn't trust my local newspaper.
As of 9:26 p.m. (a few minutes ago) I could not find the score of the game on the U's site, but found it on San Diego State's site. Maybe the U just doesn't post scores promptly when they lose. I'll have to try to remember to check that on occasion.
Anyway, the Aztecs won 7-2 and I missed the game because I trusted my local newspaper.
Today's Trib also fails to give the schedule for the rest of the games in this homestand, but it's just as well, they'd probably get the time wrong.
Maybe tomorrow I can go, I'll believe the 6pm time on the web sites. I know the bats are metal and don't sound quite right, but I really need some baseball.
