Stock Watch: FAST-GLANCE WEEK IN REVIEW

April 12, 2004 | Dick's Stock Watch provides a fast-glance review of the past week in the world of sports, charting whose stock is up and whose is down...

STOCK UP: Mickelson, UConn men and women triumph
Phil Mickelson -- Mickelson finally won his elusive first major, winning The Masters! Heading into the event, he was 0-for-42 in the majors. What great drama and emotion on the 18th hole, when he made an 18-foot birdie putt for the win. What a thrill for Mickelson. He deserves it!

UConn men and women -- The two UConn basketball programs pulled off an incredible double. It's the first time that the men's and women's teams from the same school won the national championship in the same year. Coach Jim Calhoun's men cruised past Georgia Tech and coach Geno Auriemma's women defeated Tennessee. For Auriemma and the women, it was their third straight national title and fifth overall. For Calhoun and the men, it was their second title (in six years).

Victor Zambrano -- Zambrano, a starter for my Tampa Bay Devil Rays, has a 3-0 record already. I'm a season ticket-holder for the D-Rays, baby!

U.S. tennis -- Andy Roddick and the United States advanced over Sweden in the Davis Cup.

Detroit Tigers -- The Tigers are off to a 5-1 start after last season's dreadful performance, when they almost eclipsed the 1962 New York Mets' record for futility. It's good to see manager Alan Trammell and his team succeeding. The Tigers are in first place in the AL Central.

STOCK DOWN: Tiger out of contention at Masters
Tiger Woods -- Tiger finished tied for 22nd at The Masters. But don't worry, he will come back. Athletes sometimes go through cycles. While Tiger has struggled a bit recently, he's still the best golfer on the planet.

Seattle Mariners, Philadelphia Phillies -- Both the Mariners and Phillies off to 1-5 starts. But I think both will bounce back.

Wladimir Klitschko -- The heavyweight contender is really a pretender after his fifth-round loss to Lamon Brewster.
