Quote of the day
"[Tiger Woods] called me a whiner. He’s probably right. But that’s also probably the first thing he’s told you guys that’s true in 15 years." -- Sergio GarciaDaily blurb
The NBA draft lottery takes place tonight, the opening act before game #2 of the Western Conference finals. There’s not much suspense this year, since there’s not even a dominant consensus top pick. But if you’re looking to find a conspiracy theory to support whichever team the lottery ultimately favors, here you go.
I thought I might have jinxed the Indians yesterday when I commented on their early season prowess. They took a 6-5 lead into the 8th inning, but Seattle homered in the top of each of the 8th, 9th, and 10th innings. Undaunted, the Tribe tied it up in the bottom of the ninth on a 2-out pitcher’s fielding error, and then won in the 10th on a 3-run homer. This is the team that also stole a win several weeks ago when the umpires inexplicably failed to call an obvious home run after reviewing instant replay. Something magical may be at play here.
