Monday Morning Coffee & Donuts


Your Monday morning tidbits:
  • Zach Johnson won the Masters yesterday afternoon. Great final round 69 and he held off two big names in Goosen and Woods. Tiger just didn't look himself on Sunday. We saw a quick glimpse with the great second shot on 13 but he was just good from there on out paring in. He had his chances with the par 5 on 15 and a ten-footer on 16 but just couldn't close the gap. Great win by Johnson though.
  • I guess it's cold outside and it's snowing in April in places it shouldn't be. So there is talk of the Cleveland Indians vs. Orange County Angels game being moved to the Left Coast.
  • All Big 12 fans are happy, well except for Kansas fans. It seems like Julian Wright is leaning towards going to the draft. Hello top five pick.
  • The college basketball merry-go-round continues to turn. Reports have South Alabama coach John Pelphrey going to Arkansas and Wichita State coach Mark Turgeon meeting with Texas A&M officials this afternoon.
  • Lakers lose to the Suns and will probably meet them again for another seven game series dandy in the NBA
  • Be ready for a lengthy DL report from the MLB today. A lot of cold weather injuries it seems happened this first week in baseball. Most significantly Chris Carpenter's injury seems worse then first thought of by the Cardinals.
  • Don Imus apologized in length this morning for the remarks he made last Wednesday towards the Rutgers women's basketball team. I watch and listen to Imus daily and I know that he is a good person. This morning he was talking to all the new listeners and hopefully they got his message that the comment was wrong and stupid but in his heart he is a good person towards all people. The Imus Show blog is here.
Finally I would like to just say considering Tiger and the Masters. People say he was just another ordinary golfer on Sunday. Well he still shot a 72 on Sunday. And he still finished in a tie for second. That is no ordinary PGA Tour golfer to me. Yes he was not "Tiger-like" but he had a great tournament despite playing probably a C- game. Tiger is not an ordinary golfer and did not look it on Sunday.
