The Masters
Danny Willett won the tournament
Danny Willett won the tournament
Jordan Spieth lead for 7 rounds of The Masters... 4 last year and 3 this year, not including this morning.
Spieth played a great game, but shot a 7 on hole 12, a Par 3, that ended up costing him the tournament. But, let's be honest, how many people could handle that pressure and not make a mistake, ever? Not many. And the fact that he held it together this long, at age 22, is quite remarkable. Despite the heartbreak defeat, Jordan tied for 2nd and the crowd and fellow Green Jacket members gave him a standing ovation. No, that won't erase the memory of a 7 on a Par 3 in the final round, but it will give him motivation to win it next year, and the next, and the next.
I'd like to think he's the next Payne Stewart. He doesn't have the same fashion style, which is a shame, I loved how Stewart dressed... but he does have the same poise, passion and drive!
As for Danny Willet, he's the 2nd Englishman to ever have won the tournament and his first child was due to be born today. His son came early on March 30th, and he was able to enter the tournament and win it on the original due date! Kind of a cool story and one that typically plays into a victory in Augusta.
When Bubba Watson won, he and his wife had just adopted their first child. I believe Phil Mickelson won after his wife battled breast cancer. There are many more stories, but there seems to be something magical about The Masters, which is why we, as fans, aspire to go there one day. Even for a practice round, it would be worth the journey!

GO RANGERS!!! 3-4
Sooooo we haven't gotten off to the greatest start...
1. Our pitching needs to get sharper... we have the depth, but need stronger performances from our starters.
2. We lost our catcher, Robinson Chirinos, to a fractured forearm. Which doesn't help our pitching, when you lose your catcher, he is the most comfortable with your pitchers and controls the game from the plate. Chirinos will be out at least a month.
3. Shin-Shoo Choo is out 4-6 weeks with a strained right calf muscle.
What to look forward to...
1. The undefeated Baltimore Orioles, 5-0, are coming to town this weekend. This will be a true test to how the Rangers are working together as a team this season.
2. Yu Darvish is set to come back in the next month. He's starting to throw and we'll see how quickly they work him back into the starting rotation.
3. Josh Hamilton will return in the first two weeks of May. Good? Bad? Not sure yet, but we need him as a threat if he's healthy.
4. Choo's replacement, Nomar Mazara, had a stellar first game in the majors today... he hit a home run vs. the Angels and went 3 for 4. Too bad we didn't win, but good job kid!
Here are the upcoming games... remember, Friday nights are fireworks! As someone who loves fireworks, they are the best in the area! And, you don't have to fight crowds on July 4th anymore - you can watch them all year during baseball season!

GO MAVS!!! 41-39
For the love of the Playoffs... can we make it?!?!?
While the Golden State Warriors just won their 72nd game... best EVER!!!! And never lost to the same team twice... we are sitting at 41-39 trying to get into the Playoffs. #dontcompare #winsarewins
Deron Williams was back in today's game, but it wasn't enough to help us win vs. the LA Clippers today. The magic number is one. We need one more win to make it into the Playoffs. But, we're pretty banged up and need a lot of things to go our way to get this one win!!
We have two games left... keep your fingers crossed!!!

The Movie, "The Jungle Book", comes out this Friday... April 15th, Tax Day!
I don't know about you, but I loved this movie as a kid!! I can't wait to see it!!
I also wish I could hug a tiger, panda bear, panther and a koala bear and maybe a monkey. But this movie looks like it will make you jump out of your seat. Kind of like Jurassic Park or something like that. Sooooo be prepared.
It is from the creator of Iron Man, not something that made you jump out of your seat, but wish you had a suit of steel.
Which reminds me, the new Avengers Captain America movie is coming out soon too... Captain America Civil War. In Theaters May 6th!!
Happy Movie Watching!!
Hug someone!
~smile~
