There was alot going on this weekend in the sporting world. The end of the regular season in hockey and pro basketball, the Masters, great rivalries going on in Major League Baseball, and minor league baseball getting cranked up.
I got on one of my favorite sports websites, hockeyfights.com, just a few minutes ago and was surprised to see that prolific goal scorer Teemu Selanne had picked up his first fighting major of his 18 year career. I watched the highlights of it and he gave a pretty good account of himself. The Chicago Blackhawks locked up the 16th and final playoff spot today but they backed in when the Dallas Stars lost. I watched the Carolina Hurricanes go in the tank last night in their opportunity to lock up the 8th seed so they will be watching from home.
I even watched a little bit of the Masters today which I hardly ever do but for whatever reason it piqued my interest. I thought the man that won it, Charl Schwartzel, was a major butthead. Before he put it on the green on the 18th hole he asked a camerman to back up several paces. It wasn't like the guy was standing close enough to get in the way of his shot. I think golf fans should be allowed to raise all sorts of hell when a player is trying to putt. If a batter can concentrate well enough to hit a 90 MPH fastball, then a golfer should be able to concentrate well enough to hit a 20 foot putt.
I have found myself watching alot of baseball this spring. The Cubs-Brewers, Phillies-Braves, and Yankees-Red Sox were all on this weekend and I caught a little bit of all of it. I am sick and tired of seeing the Yankees on TV or anywhere else for that matter but its a great rivalry and its still baseball.
