Quote of the day
"[Chris Sale] crushes food. He eats more than anybody in the world, and he gets so excited when he gains two pounds. All I have to do is think about eating and I gain four pounds. Me and CC Sabathia are fat dudes who are trying to be skinny. Sale is a skinny dude who's trying to get fat." -- White Sox DH/1B Adam Dunn, on teammate Chris Sale (6’6”, 170 lbs.)Daily blurb
Brant Snedeker took advantage of an early tee time today to claim the second round lead of the British Open at -10, tied with Nick Faldo for the lowest 36-hole score in Open history. Adam Scott could still conceivably catch him, as he stands at -8 with six holes to play.
The GuruGolf bargain of the week looks like Steven Alker at this point. Priced at the minimum of $500, he stands at -2 after two rounds with 8 birdies. Mark Calcavecchia ($620) is a close second, at -1 with 7 birdies. Tom Watson ($650) is hanging in there at even par through 7 holes (3 birdies), which makes him the highest ranked Watson at this point (Bubba is at +1 through 9 holes).
Turning to baseball, if you are playing in contests today, watch the weather. Games in New York, Philly, and Washington all look like possible washouts, with rain probabilities of at least 70%. Of course, that could change.
