TGIF

Sports

-Obviously yesterday was a tragic day in the world of sports. Angels rookie pitcher, Nick Adenhart, was killed by a drunk driver in Fullerton, CA after making his first start of the year just hours before. There are so many links to post for stories about Nick, but the one story that we all need to read is right here. Bill Shaikin from the LA Times, wrote a fantastic piece about Adenhart's father Jim. Truly a must read. RIP Nick, as a buddy of mine said last night, heaven's pitching staff just got a whole lot better.

-The greatest 4 days in golf are underway. The 2009 Masters Tournament in Augusta, Georgia teed off yesterday. You can follow the live scores by clicking here. I love sitting on the couch on Sunday and watching the final round of the Masters.

Entertainment

-Actress Farrah Fawcett has been released from the hospital following treatment for internal bleeding. The bleeding is not related to her cancer which she was diagnosed with in 2006. She seems to be in good spirits according to reports, and is happy to be home.

-Sarah Michelle Gellar and Freddie Prinze Jr. are expecting their first child. The couple who have been married for 6 years are reportedly very excited for Gellar's fall due date. Congratulations to the couple.

News

-According to a CNN report, the captain of the ship that was hijacked by pirates off of the Horn of Africa, tried to escape, but was recaptured in the water. Apparently he was unharmed in the escape attempt, but no word on his condition now that he is back on the ship.

-After sending quite a scare through e-mail users Hotmail has fixed their e-mail problems and the e-mail provider is back up and running. Apparently when you logged into your account it the website told you that your address no longer existed, and required you sign up for a new address. Nothing like sending panic through internet users all around the world.
