Come back kid

He finially did it, he finally won a tournament. Tiger Woods won this weekend at the Arnold Palmer classic. He has not won since that sex scandal in 2009, he has not even played that well. Over the last year he has increasingly been getting closer and closer but now he did it. It could not have come at a more perfect time either. The masters are coming up and Tiger seems to be right where he wants, winning. I hope he wins the masters so bad and proves everyone that he still can be the worlds best golfer. I honestly hope he takes over the game like he did before, winning all the time. I am a huge Tiger fan and love seeing him succeed. In a couple weeks hopefully he'll be wearing that green jacket once again!

Bring back a star

As the Yankees behind preparing for the regular season they bring in one of the best pitchers who put on the pinstripes. Andy Pettitte has done many great things for the Yankess and Cashman has faith in him that he will continue to do the same as before. In his career he is 240-138 with over 2,000 strikeouts and an era of 3.8 Pettitte who is 39 and hasn't pitched since 2010, so time will tell. Giradi is worried about his legs but he has been training in Texas so that will give him an advantage. Ivan Nove and Phil Hughes are going to be worried for their place in the roar action too. If we could have everyone in the roataion we would be unstoppable. Pettite has thrown 8 of 9 bullpens and all have been impressive. Russell Martin says he's been one of the best in training. In 2012 he is projected to pitch about 130 innings or so and have. 8-7 record. Pertite's invitation to spring traing does not mean he is on the team though. If he makes it he will a get a one year 2.5 million dollar contract. Cashman's excited for him because he will help our rotation and
Pettitte is just as excited to get going. Now all we have to hope for is that we get old Andy back and he can dominate like he has years before.

Out Already!!

So as soon as the Pirates get A.J Burrnet down to spring training he is already out. He bunted a ball off his fast in practice and is out 8-10 weeks. That's always good whenever our #1 that we just got will miss opening day. Hopefully he can pull of some kind of miracle and recover super quick. We need him in the rotation.

MLB playoffs

The MLB playoffs have to been one of the hardest things to get to. Eight teams out of how many get a chance to win it all. October is when the players want to be playing and now it has become a little easier. Instead of eight teams now ten teams will make it. There will be two more wild card spots and now they got to cram all these game into one month. I don't think this is a good idea personally. I think how the playoffs are now and have been for years works perfectly fine. If there is a rain delay or cancelation these games are going to push back and the playoffs will take longer. The only positive is that it will allow one more top team to contend and make the best team earn it by having to win so many playoff games. We'll see how it goes this year and will see if it's still in place next year.
