Quote of the day
"Vicki, do you know what a big deal that is? " -- Cubs player and announcer Ron Santo, remarking to his wife last summer when he learned that the Cubs would be honoring him with a statue at Wrigley Field. Santo died in December. The statue was unveiled yesterday.Daily blurb
The Indians started a three game series against the Tigers on Tuesday, down four games in the division standings. Tuesday night (or Wednesday morning, more accurately) was the 14-inning 7-hour Tribe win on a walkoff HBP. Last night, newly acquired Ubaldo Jimenez pitched 8 solid innings in a 10-3 rout. Tonight, they face Justin Verlander in the series finale. I think they’re going to wish they had saved some of those excess runs for today. Regardless, it’s good to see them stay alive. Had they lost the opening two games to Detroit, you could probably draft the epitaph already. The PGA Championship is underway, and the carryover GuruGolf favorite is Brian Davis, appearing on 35% of active rosters. This morning’s scoring looks pretty low for a major tournament, with 19 golfers currently under par. Tiger Woods was one of them for awhile, birdying three of the opening five holes before promptly giving all three of those strokes back just two holes later, dropping him a stroke behind Adam Scott and you-know-who. |
