Kenny Mayne...The greatest?
Kenny Mayne was the reason I started watching Sportscenter daily. He is, and will always be my favorite sports anchor of all time. It just frusterates me that he does Horse racing now :( hes too good for that.
This proves that you should never take him seriously hahaha
haha only he would
Even talking about horse racing, hes hilrous.
Nick Swisher
Nick Swisher. What should I say about him? How about the biggest surprise in the Yankees line up? The Yankees acquired him from the White Sox's. Nick Swisher is already very popular in NY. He has already rung the bell to start the Stock exchange. Last night in Detroit he hit two home runs. One from the right side of the plate, and another one from the left side of the plate. I guess one could call him Mr. Switcher. I hope he stays as hot as he is in the beginning of the season. The Yankees need a bat like that in their line up. They're just struggling right now in every aspect. Not having A-rod in the line up is effecting them majorly. They just need to hold it together until he comes back. Phil Hughes was recently brought up and pitched 6 shutout innings. If he can hold it together, and Wang gets healthy; that would give Joba a chance to be moved back into the bullpen and that would make things finally come together, then when A-rod comes back that would just be icing on the cake :)

NFL DRAFT
Tis the season to be drafting! This weekend is the NFL draft, and I'm not going to lie I'm pretty pumped. This is like Christmas for all us football fans. There has been alot going on around the NFL lately and it comes no surprise to me. The Lions have the overall number one pick, and I'm interested to see what they're going to do with that. Of course they need alot of things, but they can go alot of different ways. The logic pick would be a QB which would most likely me Matthew Stafford. Some inside sources don't think that they will go that direction only for the fact that we're in a economic recession. Detroit has been hit the hardest and how is it going to look if they give this hot shot qb right out of college this multi million dollar contract? It is a proven fact that QB's get paid more, so they might have to go another direction with their number one pick.
Players stocks are falling left and right. The biggest one I can pin point is Florida's Percy Harvin. He recently tested positive for Marijuana at the NFL combine. He already had some dark shadows around him. Teams thought that he had character issues, and didn't want to draft him. As much as I love watching him play, he does kind of have a ego......I'm sure Tim Tebow is very disappointed in him. ha ha....

BUST
So far the Yankees 2009 season has been a bust. I am not surprised. No matter how good their team is suppose to be, they always have a crappy April. Luckly its almost over. A-rod is coming back soon as well that should provide some spark to this not so hot Yankee line up. AJ Burnnet has been the biggest surprsie for me personally. Everybody was telling me left and right that hes going to get hurt before his first Yankee start. I was blown away when he won his first start pitching 7 shutout innings. He was very impressing, and I am expecting good things from him this year. The Yankees have been a mess so far this season. If there pitching is good one game there bats are quiet. If the bats are making some noise, the pitching is brutal. Theres no happy medium, and its making me mad! I just want to see more W's in the win colum. I don't know why I am getting so worked up. The season is still young. No need to write them off quite yet.........

Somethings Never Change
Last night the Boston Red Sox's played the Angels. I am not fond of either team, but because of the Sox's being in the Yankee's division I have to cheer for the Angels. I didn't see the game but I heard about it. Former Yankee Bobby Abreu was up to bat Josh Becket was taking his sweet old time. This caused Abreu to get upset. I can totally understand why, because whenever I am up to bat and a pitcher is taking forever I call time just to erk them off. The umpire called time. This is what "supposably happened" Josh didn't see the umpire until half way through his motion and because he didn't want to "hurt" his arm he let go of the pitch and it sailed over Abreu's head. Abreu started what looked to be a heated conversation with Boston's catcher Jason V. Both benches cleared........ I think Josh did it unpurpose. He is known for pulling stuff like that before. And if anyone is going to get a suspension it should be him.
The New Sergio?
I didn't get a chance to watch the final round of the Masters yesterday, but I watched the highlights. Cabrera beat Kenny Perry on the second play off hole on Sunday. One might say that Perry crumbled under the presure, sending his aproach shot on the second play-off hole way left into the rough. Because of this shot all Cabrera had to do was 2 putt his way to victory.
One would think that this would be a huge blow to Perry's confidence. Is this a start of a firce rivarly between Perry and Cabrera? Is Cabrera the Tiger and Perry Sergio? If one is not familar with the golf. Tiget and Sergio have never really been fond of eachother... When ever Sergio is in the final round with a substanial lead, but knows Tiger is learking, he always seems to crumble. We will have to see in the up coming weeks though.
Tiger comes up short. He still shot -8 for the week.

MASTERS
Even if one is not familiar with golf I'm sure they know about the green jacket. The Masters is the biggest golf tournament of the year. The Masters is in Augusta Geroriga. It always brings drama no matter if its the first day of play, or the final round.
Tiger is in the field after a year layoff from major knee surgery. He won the Aronald Palmer Invitational last weekend so one could say he is back up to par. No matter what tournament he is playing in hurt or healthy he is always going to be in contention.
I am the type of person that likes to see the underdog in golf to win. Don't get me wrong I love watching Tiger playing when he is on. But its sometimes frustrating when he is 10 shots back and they still show every shot he takes. I remember 2 years ago; Zach Johnson was in the lead by 2 shots and instead of putting the camera on the eventual Masters Champion, we just saw Tiger. No matter where Tiger is in the field they always say hes got a chance.
Predictions:
Final group
Tiger Woods
Zach Johnson
Sergio Garcia
* maybe I'm favoriting Zach, but he did win 2 years ago :)

Opening Day!
Spring training is whinding down. All the players are getting ready to leave spring training to head back to their assigned cities. This year especially excites be; the Yankees are pick as a preseason World Sereies opponent. The Yankees have a lot of pressure on them this season. As usual they have went out, and spent the big bucks to get the best free agent pitchers. It was GREAT! IF they fail to win a World Series they will most likely be labeled the worlds biggest bust of Major League baseball history. I do believe though that this is the year. WOW! I feel like I am a Cubs fan. That is their saying "this is the year!" It souldnt be a team that has won 26 World Sereis saying! I'm still trying to get my mom to let me skip school on April 5th so I can stay home and watch all the opening day games!
