Lots to get to....Fl

Sorry for the brief hiatus....
  • Angel Cabrera outlasts the field at the Masters....Sunday was shaping up to be one of the all-timers as Phil and Tiger charged...but it wasn't sustainable and it ended up in a fairly anti-climactic 3-way playoff....still a very entertaining day of golf, but I almost feel robbed...The world was gearing for either Tiger or Phil to grab that one...but hey, congrats to Cabrera and I still appreciate high-level golf even if it's Tiger-less....The only thought I have? I can't decide whether this will be known for Kenny Perry's collapse, Tiger and Phil's charge, or Cabrera...
  • Cleveland smacks Boston around....I know Boston didn't have much on the line but any time you lose by 31 to the team you'll likely play in the playoffs...that means something....Line of the weekend: My god...CJ Watson hung 38 and 9 dimes on Deron Williams and company last night...read that again....runner up in the making? At press, Dwyane Wade has 42 points in the 3rd quarter....jeez
  • Big time pitching duel in the NL East today...both Johan Santana and Josh Johnson were masterful...but Johnson won this one....CG 5-hitter for Johnson vs. 7 innings/13 k's for Santana....Give me the innings....but hey, quality pitching is quality pitching (Kyle Lohse retired 24 batters in a row today too, impressed)
  • Speaking of pitching....bad news for my preseason NL Champion D-Backs as Brandon Webb goes to the DL.....and today... Tim Lincecum got roughed up again...sophomore slump?
  • Byron Leftwich to Tampa...it's about time...he should start for them....
  • Who is more fun to watch play basketball than Chris Paul? Really...who? 31 points, 9 boards, 17(!) dimes....AND he held Jason Kidd to 3-13 shooting...
  • The Braves are 5-1...and the one loss was (hopefully) a ridiculous bullpen aberration...I'm satisfied...and when is it reasonable to have 2 triples in one game like Francoeur did today? That never happens...
  • Flip Saunders in the running for the Wizards job....the Wiz management is the gift that keeps on giving...first you lock up Arenas (knee and all) to that ridiculous contract...then you fire Eddie Jordan b/c his guys aren't healthy, replace him with a guy who utterly refuses to play their young guys even though they are 20 games out....and now you want Flip Saunders? Good luck with that....
That'll be all
