Monday Mix

So here is a quick run through of some current events happening in some sports lately. I call this my Monday Mix because it is definatley going to be a mix of sports. Buckle yourself in safely because here we go!

Golf: Jim Furyk ends his drought (32 months and 58 tournaments) and won on Sunday!!! -13 was the magic number!! He won by just one stroke over another great golfer Choi. And who says golf is not fun without Woods??? Oh, yes, speaking of Woods, he will be back in the game at the Masters this April. He also did two interviews (one with ESPN and one with the Golf Channel) that were on the air Sunday night. Personaly, his one interiew was enough for me. He is definately not the "great" person that many thought him to be. Yes, I know not to judge and that he only needs to ask forgiveness of certain people; however, actions do have consequences and I think that is what he is going to have to deal with for many more months. I doubt that he will win the Masters, but let us see how far he goes in the tournament. He has ALOT more on his mind these days than just golf!

Baseball: Poor poor Twins! Their closer Nathan will be having surgery and will miss the season as a result. On the up for the Twins though they did just sign a deal with Mauer for an 8 year estension worth $184m! (See why they are poor lol)
Following some Spring Training standings here is an interesting one to note: Rays are 12-6 with a winning percentage of .667 and their A.L. East rival and World Series Champs the Yankees are 8-10 with a winning percentage of .444. Hmmmm below 500 baseball for the preseason. I guess money does not buy everything at that.

Nascar: A big congrats is in order for Jimmie Johnson as he wins at Bristol. His third victory so far of the season. He was sixth with ten laps to go. He beat out other well known racers Tony Stewart and Kurt Bush who took second and third.

Well, not all the sports, but still good enough for some Monday Mix. Should be an interesting week in the world of sports.
