- Tampa Bay beat Oakland 11-0 today. That is a sweep of their first three series -- 9-0 for the Rays. The first team in 20 years to win their first nine.
- That's the good news. The bad news: Detroit, Washington, and Oakland -- three of the worst teams in the MLB. Four at Boston next.
- Well, if they're going to investigate the Mavericks for throwing the season away by sitting players in a win-or-eliminated game, then the Trail Blazers may have to be next! If the Warriors win, they avoid the play-in tournament. In just the first quarter of the game between the two teams on this final day of the 2022-23 regular season, the Warriors have scored 55 points.
- And never challenged... 157-101.
- Scary stat: The two wins on Friday and today which got the Warriors the #6 seed are only the 10th and 11th road wins this season for the Warriors.
- LIV Golf is in a dogfight at the Masters at 4 PM Eastern in Augusta. Blood-money player Brooks Koepka is two over through 6 and one back of Jon Rahm, the new leader. Phil Mickelson is in the top ten through, but playing partner and PGA stalwart Jordan Spieth can stop him -- he's one shot better than the LIV turncoat. Saudi big-mouth Patrick Reed is tied with Mickelson.
- Amateur Sam Bennett has already won low amateur -- and he's tied for 13th through 7 holes of his final round.
- Whew. Rahm wins by 4.
- Fucking Phil Mickelson, LIV turncoat, broke the Masters record for the lowest final round by a Champions Tour-age golfer (50+) when he pulled a 65 out of his ass to tie second with LIV shitbag Koepka. Tied for second with the other fuckhead Koepka.
- LIV big-mouth Patrick Reed finished joint-fourth with Jordan Spieth.
- Sam Bennett finished two shots short of gaining automatic exemption for next year's tournament.
- Bizarre minor-league situation last night. The Rocket City Trash Pandas of Alabama, a AA affiliate of the Angels, threw a no-hitter last night against the Chattanooga (TN) Lookouts, a AA Reds affiliate.
- They lost, and gave up SEVEN RUNS in the 7-5 loss.
- All 7 runs were in the seventh and final inning (they played a doubleheader).
- Four walks walked one run all the way around with two out.
- An outfield error scored three more.
- THREE hit by pitches forced home a fifth run.
- A walk forced home a sixth.
- A wild pitch scored #7.
- And they got another walk before the third out.
- In total, SIX WALKS, THREE HBP, a wild pitch, and an error -- they plated seven runs and put 12 to the plate without even getting a hit.
- And this is what happened with bases loaded and two out: Three walks, three HBP, wild pitch, three-run error.
- At this rate, just fold the damn Angels if this organization is that shit!!!
- And they one-hit the Lookouts in the second game. At least, hopefully they cut half the team between games -- they did win 3-0.
- Rudy Gobert has done it again -- expelled by the Timberwolves from the last regular-season game for taking a swing at a teammate in a time-out huddle. Will be handled "internally" -- they play the Lakers in the 7-8 game on Tuesday.
- It appears Odell Beckham Jr. is a Baltimore Raven. 1 year, $15M.
