Quote of the day
"I felt like Mr. Potato Head. My body parts were all over the field. I don't care how old you are, when you smell a hit, you want a hit." -- Cleveland DH Jason Giambi, who used a headfirst slide to beat out an infield hit in the 8th inning (with Cleveland already leading by 12)Daily blurb
May Day came early for Roy Halladay, as Cleveland touched him up for 8 runs (with 3 long balls) in less than 4 innings last night, raising Halladay’s season ERA to 6.75. He’s had a Jekyll & Hyde season so far. In three of his six starts, he’s given up only one or two runs. In the other three, he hasn’t lasted longer than 4 innings and hasn’t surrendered fewer than 5 earned runs. Certainly not a pitcher to be feared – unless perhaps you’re a Philly fan, in which case he may make you want to hyde.
Two more NBA series seem likely to end tonight, as the Knicks and Thunder can close out 3-1 series leads at home. And then there is the Hawks-Pacers series, currently at 2-2. With apologies to fans of those two teams, that seems to be the series that no one wants to watch – although by Sunday it might be the only series still in play.
The Wells Fargo Championship tees off early Thursday morning. Get your GuruGolf foursomes in place. If you’re looking ahead, a list of qualifiers for next week’s THE PLAYERS Championship (BTW, why is “THE PLAYERS” always capitalized?) is here.
