Watercooler Chat: The Masters, Baseball, NBA and the WNBA Draft!
The main event in sports this week: THE MASTERS. That's right, for
one week out of the year, golf gets the spotlight. Everyone tunes in
to see the best of the best play in Augusta, GA. Tiger, Vijay,
Mickelson, Cink -- all there. However, the honorable green jacket this
year wen to an underdog -- South Africa's Trevor Immelman who shot an
incredible -8. He was able to hang on, outlasting the dominant Tiger
Woods, who finished a distant second at -5.
Baseball
is roughly 12 games deep now, and there have been surprises in the
standings. The Baltimore Orioles and Kansas City Royals were predicted
to finish dead last in their divisions, but both teams jumped and held
onto first place for the first 2 weeks. Both teams have cooled
slightly, but still linger in 2nd place above higher rated teams (i.e.
NY Yankees, Boston Red Sox, etc...). In the National League, the
ArizonaDiamondbacks and St. Louis Cardinals are the teams to beat --
both performing strong at 9 wins each.
In the NBA, the Lakers
are for real, crushing the reigning champ San Antonio Spurs on Sunday.
Now, the Lakers have sole possession of 1st place in the competitive
Western Conference. If the Lakers do finish the season as the #1 seed
-- this should secure Kobe Bryant as the MVP for the season. However,
while you can start crossing your fingers for the historic yellow and
green jerseys in the championship game (Lakers v. Celtics) -- don't
count on too much; these playoffs are wide open, and will be a pure
thrill to watch!

And finally, just 15 hours after winning her
second NCAA Championship with the University of Tennessee, Candace
Parker was drafted as the No. 1 pick overall pick in the WNBA draft by
the Los Angeles Sparks. This LITERALLY took place on back-to-back
nights (Tuesday & Wednesday). Now that's an exciting week!
