Manny ponders Cleveland reunion
And so it begins. Ramirez, fresh off of signing a two year deal with the Los Angeles Dodgers of Los Angeles, is already musing on a potential return to the team that drafted him many years ago. How convenient! Considering how he can opt out of his deal with the Dodgers next season. Who am I kidding? He's taking advantage of the system. Well, Scott Boras is. Manny is just saying the right things and hitting the ball far from home plate. (He will at least)

Cabrera takes advantage of miscues, wins Masters
Contrary to what I said yesterday, I actually did watch the final round of the Masters. And I'm glad I did. Not only did Mickelson and Woods stage a maginificant comeback only to come up short, Kenny Perry had a terrific chokejob to blow a chance to wear the green jacket. Up two strokes with two holes to play, Perry bogeyed the final two holes to force a sudden death playoff with Chad Campbell and Angel Cabrera. Cabrera would eventually defeat Perry on the second hole of the playoff to win the Masters. To all those people who have never given golf a chance, watch the replay of yesterday's round. It had suspense, awesome skill, competition, men with ice in their veins, and men who couldn't handle the pressure. It was better than if I had my annual viewing of The Ten Commandments.

Angels defeat Red Sox 5-4
Things got a little testy at Angel Stadium yesterday when Bobby Abreu called time and stepped out of the box. Josh Beckett didn't take too kindly of Abreu's time-calling and hurled the ball near his noodle. And such is baseball, the benches cleared, swearing was encouraged, and there was about five minutes of posturing. In the end, Torii Hunter, Justin Speier, hitting coach Mickey Hatcher, and manager Mike Scioscia were ejected. I think I'll include this story in my book Reasons why I Hate Josh Beckett by Sean Fitzgerald. I'm excited for it's release.

I'll be back...
