Monday Decaf

And you'd think that the Pads wouldn't do much more on the trade front...right?...so wrong...as they picked up the, get this, the BEST CLOSER in the biz...from Atlanta...and the other bro of the Upton kid we got 4 months ago...for...2 guys we were going to release and 2 prospects...what?...more of a money deal, I suppose...Kimbrel and Upton are now Padres...we just keep getting better...does this mean we beat the Bums and Kershaw in the opener today?...in LA...hang on to your hat...it's a long ride...and will be a very good one...

Chhhhhh changes...in Chi town with the Cubbies...and all the hullabaloo about the "new Cubs"...the park is not done...a battle field...and the team looked terrible in their opener versus the always solid Cardinals of Saint Looey...you get what you deserve...

LPGA...what a great finish in the Dinah Shore...well...it's now some Japanese funded thinger...but at the same place, in Palm Desert...and the 1st major for the ladies...and the winner still jumps into the pond after getting the W...the final 2 girls, er women, were in a match play...and then out of nowhere, Morgan Pressell almost drained a wedge for an eagle on 18 and got within a stroke...and then the eventual winner, Brittany Lincicome, did it...eagled the last and got into a playoff...and beat the downtrodden front runner, Stacey Lewis...a good show...

PGA...JB Holmes came out of the pack...and birdied the first 7 of 8 holes, I think...and ended up in a 3 man OT with Johnson Wagner and the youngin', Jordan Spieth...and then got the W...another fun T to watch...in the Shell in Texas...the Masters all this week...the best golf of the year...

The NBA is closing their regular season...and a lot of jockeying about to see where the teams finish for the playoffs...the Clip Show was at their home building...as visitors...versus the Lake Show...oh my...seemed like the Globetrotters and the Wash Nats...really...they had a 20-2 run...and the Laker's coach just sat there...as the Clips did slams, bounced balls through the legs, and laughed all the way to the hoop...and the Lakers did nothing...no to's, no lineup changes, no nothing...made a mockery of the game...

The Big Dance final game...Duke versus Wisconsin...I have been a big doubter all year long about the Badgers...and cost me in the bracket...ha ha...I never win those...especially when they took it to Kentucky...an exposure of the lack of coaching ability of John C...well, Coach K, is the real deal...and if it comes down to X's and O's, Duke wins...as I think will happen...don't ever bet on what I say...never, ever...

The gals...UConn a game away of winning yet another title...but...their nemesis...Notre Dame...is the opponent...hope it's a good match...usually is...

Early pick for the Kentucky Derby...Bob Baffert trained Dortmund....

Need another cup of decaf...
