Congratulations to Angel Cabrera for winning one of the more exciting Masters Golf Tournaments in recent history. On a day when Tiger and Phil made an early charge with blistering front nines, they did not have the staying power to make the final push to challenge Cabrera, Kenny Perry and Chad Campbell. Campbell was eliminated after the first playoff hole, and Perry bogied the second to allow Cabrera to win by shooting par on the second. This was only the second career win for Cabrera on the PGA Tour, with both being majors. He won the U.S. Open in 2007. Kenny Perry, had he won, would have been the oldest player to not only win the Maters, but the oldest to win a major. Not bad for a guy that is now ranked number six in the world and who just two years ago was ranked 173rd.
In other news, the Blues continued there hot streak, winning Sunday 1-0 against Colorodo, and in doing so moved up to the sixth spot in the Western Conference, and will face the Vancouver Canucks on Wednesday to open there Stanley Cup Playoff race.
Also on Sunday the Cardinals completed a sweep of the Houston Astros to push there record to 6-2. The Cardinal pitching through the first seven games has been absolutely stellar. Knowing that every pitcher has a bad day, however, if they continue to pitch remotely close to how they are now throughout the year, the Cards will be a tough team to beat. To add some late news, the Cardinals just defeated the Arizona Diamondbacks 2-1. Todd Wellemeyer pitched 7 innings, allowing just one run on 7 hits. As for the Cards offense, they ended up with 8 hits, two of which were home runs, which is all the scoring they would get, and need to earn the victory. The home runs were hit by Albert Pujols(4) and Brian Barden(1).
Is this not a great time to be a sports fan in St. Louis. Hope everyone had a great Easter. See you next time.
