   I was awarded tickets for the Master's practice round today

   I was awarded four tickets that cost $65 a piece and from what I read I can resell them for at least $500/piece. I am thinking of taking my father in law and selling two to basically pay for my entire trip. I am pretty excited.

   Web.com Tour

   A shoutout is due to golf's "minor league" tour. The Web.com Tour is now the only way to obtain a PGA Tour card. There is no more Q-school. Fifty cards will be awarded at the end of the season. Jon Curran was brilliant yesterday in Brasil. A course-record 61, 10-under par, with eight straight birdies on the back nine. http://www.pgatour.com/content/pgatour/webcom/tournaments/brasil-champions-presented-by-hsbc/leaderboard.html

   I can't get past the favorite this year unfortunately. He's just too good. 19 horse field (after the scratches) so anything can happen and I would not be a surprised to see another horse win. That said I think California Chrome should win provided he doesn't get hassled by other horses. He's got a good post. I'll play a $20 Exacta for my primary play 5 - California Chrome over 6 - Samraat

   The season is less than a week away! Baseball America hasn't released their rankings yet, so I'll post the pre-season rankings from NCAA. http://www.ncaa.com/rankings/baseball/d1 Of the local teams, Fullerton is the National #1! Congrats, tho I'm hopeful my Dirtbags will shock the world this season and get back into the National conversation. Fullerton faces two top-25 opponents this season (@Oregon #7 for three games, and one @UCLA #10). My Dirtbags open with #8 Vanderbilt at home, and will face four other top-25 opponents (host ASU #19 at home, Fullerton #1 for six games, host UCLA #10 for three games, and host Indiana #11 for three games). In addition to t…

    Phil Ivy Professional Cheater

    And the Borgata Casino is suing him for their crappy cards. Ivey is being accused of edge sorting because the casino bought defective cards and he spotted a defect and exploited the shuffle. I kind of think it is all the casinos loss for not securing their tables with uniformly printed cards. It is not up to the player to inform them of the defects or play in a way that ignores the advantage. Even if Ivy went out of his way to make sure the cards were run through a automatic dealer to prevent the cards from being shuffled uneven, it was the casino that agreed to grant his request. Can't copy paste the link because IE11 sucks donkey balls but it is on the MSN front…
