It’s my Parting Shot for my reactions to the headlines in today’s Star-Phoenix Sports Section…
First headline…Rush in a hurry to clinch first, Quirky schedule or not, they just need win over Colorado. My reaction…There is no need to apologize for taking advantage of a tired team. A Sasklatchewan victory over the Mammoth…who played seven games in March…is just doing what you’re supposed to do. Trust me, if the shoe were on the other foot, no opponent would throw a “pity party” for the Rush!
Next headline…Jays launch more bombs, get win Number 4. Reaction…The Blue Jays are hitting homers like crazy in the early stages…10 of them in six games…and they’ve won four in a row. Just as it was far too early to write them off after losing the first two games of the season to the Yankees, it is still way too early to think Toronto has a team that will continue at that home-run hitting pace for an entire season. But, it is encouraging to see them bounce back with four straight victories!
Last headline…Hadwin better prepared for second Masters week. My reaction…it’s Masters week and the local golf courses are nowhere near ready to be open for play! I guess my weekend will be all about watching golf on T-V and day-dreaming about getting out on a course myself…hopefully before the calendar flips to May!
