133rd Edition - 4/09/07

133 - I don't know why you would want it, but here's the inside scoop on Tacoma, Washington. http://www.exit133.com/

  • The Masters: A tradition ... ah, you know the drill

Everyone say hi to Zach Johnson. Zach, say hi to the world. Johnson is a native of Iowa and since I'm from Iowa I have known about this guy for years ... yeah, right. No one knew Johnson could win, not his parents, not his coach, and if he had a choice, the smart money would have been on Tiger Woods coming back to beat him. But the course beat everyone except for Johnson.

Johnson was born in Iowa City and is currently living in Cedar Rapids. This is his second win ever in his nine year career. In 2007, his best finishes were 9th and 14th before his Masters' win. His final round of -3 tied for the lowest of the day and he finished at +1.

Sunday offered some good golf, especially considering Saturday, where a 7-foot putt had no chance of going in.

  • Cubs: SO good, then back to average

Rich Hill and Carlos Zambrano pitched back-to-back gems, with Hill having a perfect game through five innings. Then Wade Miller came along and messed up the possibility of the sweep against the Brewers.

But more importantly ... I am going to opening day. The pitching match-up is Woody Williams vs Ted Lilly (currently a Cy Young contender, but then again, aren't we all). More importantly, the high today is 40 degrees. I already saw snow this morning. I have two pairs of pants, two pairs of gloves, two pairs of socks, a hat and hand warmers ready to go. I will not be cold.
