Quote of the day
"Congrats to my guy Barry Sanders for winning the 2013 Madden Cover! Any other guy to take me down... it would've been a problem! Salute." -- Tweet from Adrian Peterson, following the announcement that Sanders was chosen for the cover of "Madden NFL 25"Daily blurb
…and keeper league owners of Adrian Peterson can all let out a collective sigh of relief now that AP will not be exposed to the Madden curse in 2013.
Stephen Strasburg lost his 4th consecutive game yesterday. It’s not like he’s been pitching badly, however. With a 3.12 ERA, 1.12 WHIP, and .221 BAA, he could easily be 5-0 at this point. Only one of his starts was bad (giving up 6 runs to Cincy on April 7). Throw out that one and he’s surrendered only 5 earned runs in 4 games. The apparent problem is that he’s not hitting well enough, as the Nats have scored only 7 runs in his five starts combined – and he scored one of those runs himself. Sounds to me like he should spend more time in the batting cage!
No rainouts yesterday, and today’s weather looks pretty benign as well. KC@Det could see some delays, but patience should get that one in, and most other game cities have 0% chance of rain. About time.
In GuruGolf, this week’s popular favorite is Billy Horschel, on about 35% of active foursomes. K.J. Choi is close behind. Horschel doesn’t tee off until this afternoon, but Choi is off to a weak start, at +1 thru 11 holes on a day when birdies have not been scarce.
