Quote of the day
"We're going to be better because we played against, to me, one of the greatest teams there's been in the past 15 years." -- Memphis center Marc Gasol, after the Grizzlies were swept by San AntonioDaily blurb
After the Memorial Day hiatus, I need to backtrack to the weekend’s GuruGolf results. The top best ball score was posted by Long Island Divots (-51), while the worst ball results were headed by West Texas Low Ballers (+45). Boo Weekley redeemed himself from his prior week’s debacle, not only winning the tournament, but also posting the top GuruGolf stats with 24 birdies. By comparison, tournament runner-up Matt Kuchar had only 17 birdies, and no other golfer had more than 21 birdies.
Not only were all 30 MLB teams scheduled to play on Memorial Day (which is atypical for the past decode or so), but every game was an interleague game, and one was even an originally scheduled doubleheader (as opposed to one resulting from a postponement). I’ll bet that 16 interleague games on one day is a record, since prior to this year, there were only 14 teams in the American League. The A.L. went 9-7 on the day, and now holds a 41-36 lead for interleague play results to date.
The Spurs dispatched the Grizzlies in four straight, and now get a 10-day layoff before the June 6th start of the NBA Finals. If the Heat can close out Indy in 5 games, they’ll be done a week before the start of the finals.
