The topics this week are the NBA Finals, Strasburg's impressive debut, and the conference mess going on in the NCAA, mainly the Big 12. Next week I will talk about the World Cup... if I watch it.

This week's topics are the NBA Playoffs, as they go into the Conference semis, the Dez Bryant controversy, the MLB Standings, and Tiger Woods missing his 6th ever tournament cut. Enjoy!
This week I go over the 2010 NFL Draft: Clausen falls, the NBA Playoffs: LeBron James's amazingness throughout the Playoffs so far, and the MLB Standings: Tampa Bay leaders of the league! FIRST VIDEO VERSION OF TWIS 2010.
This past week in sports is one of the biggest of the year. We had major days in the MLB, NCAA, Golf, and some pretty big NFL deals went down. We saw Tiger for the first time in ages, we saw Butler play for the Championship, we saw the first glimpse of the Major League season in baseball, and we saw a couple of NFL superstars get new homes.
The Masters was one of the most talked about sporting events in a while because it was the return of Tiger Woods, who was coming off his 144 day lay off due to all his troubles. He didn't have the finish he wanted though. Instead he finished tied for 4th while shooting -11. Phil Mickelson also has had quite a year. His wife, Amy Mickelson, Phil’s wife, was diagnosed with breast cancer a while back. Phil ended up taking his 3rd Masters green jacket shooting -16.
In the MLB this week, we saw the real Opening Day. Technically Opening Day was on Sunday between the Yankees and the BoSox, but every other team played their first games on Monday, except the Tampa Bay Rays (GO RAYS) and the Baltimore Orioles, who started their seasons on Tuesday. So far we have seen some excellent pitching by some old vets like Roy Halladay, CC Sabathia, Barry Zito, and Randy Wolf. Matt Garza also had a great first outing. Some hitting slumps for some big bats as well with Mark Tiexeiria and Evan Longoria struggling to get consistant base hits, though Longo has 2 HR’s. We were all also impressed by Jason Heyward, the Braves young outfielder, who in his forts ever career MLB at-bat, knocks home a 450-feet home run off Carlos Zambrano.
And finally, the NCAA Championship game. And oh boy was it a good one. Butler the 5 seed and hometown heroes, versus Duke who is the most hated team in the field. Who would of guessed the final score 61-59, with Duke winning. Duke was favored highly, but Butler kept it close the whole game, and Gordon Hayword came oh-so-close to winning the game, twice, including a half court shot at the buzzer that hit the rim and the backboard. Duke probably deserved to win, but everyone outside of North Carolina (basically) was rooting heavily for Butler.
