A Majestic Easter

I have to say from a "fan of sports," that after the first week of the baseball season and the Masters concluding with a rookie win, that I am pleastly intrigued. Not only did the Redlegs pitching rotation look good, providing at least 6 innings in each outing (Milton does not count), the fundamental level of the game has greatly improved. I can not recall encountering a sac fly earlier in the season than Brandon Phillips providing one in the third installment against the Cubbies. Lest we forget Adam Dunn providing the bang behind 75% of the clubs first 6 runs and Edwin Encarnacion lighting it up offensivly and defensivly. Once Homer Baily is given the green light, look out National League for this year's darkhorse for the pennant. I also believe that Josh Hamilton will be this year's comeback player of the year.

Secondly give it up for Zach Johnson, you can not say enough about the 3 under he posted when it was all on the line and the gifted cat clawing behind him. To get your second career victory at that event, with the players that were chasing him all the way, speaks to the performance; Poise and steel nerves. Personally I felt that Tiger was going to mount a charge, but it was not to be this time around. That is a reflection of the greatness that is Mr. Woods, that we are surprised and wonder what is amiss about his game. When he doesn't come through in the clutch it is a letdown to all who watch. There is nothing but love at the Man Blawgs for the Masters.

To close we must give props to those who serve and protect as two friends near and dear to the Man Blawgs have returned from overseas. God speed to the men and women serving now, you all are braver than I.
