MLB
Chicago Cubs at Milwaukee Brewers Sunday 8:05 p.m. ESPN
With the first full week of major league baseball underway, what better way to end it than with the dulcet tones of John Miller and Joe Morgan narrating you through a National League Central rivalry that has proven to be one of the best in baseball over recent years. The Cubs offense is led by Alfonso Soriano, who has gotten off to a fast start. Jeff Suppon will be on the mound for Milawukee and Ryan Dempster for the Cubs.
Boston Red Sox at Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim Sunday 3:35 p.m. NESN
Aside from this being a matchup of perennial powerhouses in the American League, the Sox and the Angels have arguably one of the best pitching matchups in the league on Sunday. Josh Beckett looked dominant in his first start against the Rays and Joe Saunders looked just as good in his first start, allowing only 3 hits over 6 and two-thirds innings.
NBA
Boston Celtics at Cleveland Cavaliers Sunday 3:30 p.m. ABC
The Cavaliers have an almost unbelievable 38-1 record at home this year, and they close out their home schedule with the defending champs looking to give them their first loss to an Eastern conference foe all year. LeBron and company have all but locked up home court advantage throughout the playoffs but this game is one that even I will watch.
PGA Tour
The Masters Saturday-Sunday all day CBS
Chad Campbell and Hunter Mahan both had impressive first rounds to lead the way. However, 2003 U.S. Open winner Jim Furyk is right behind. Tiger Woods is far behind but if anybody has the tools to make a comeback, it's him. Even if Woods is not in contention in the final two rounds, there are few things better than Sunday at Augusta.
