Even if “March 4th” sounds like a sentence, there is no such thing. It is simply March 4, the title of the book notwithstanding. The only “th” you’ll find on a standard calendar is in the word month. You might refer to the 4th of March, but the date is simply March 4.
Or is this so evident that it’s all a big inside joke, and I’m the first to take the bait?

This was supposed to get published yesterday, our apologies.

The only way to justify “our apologies” being part of the sentence is to use a semicolon after “yesterday.” No?
