Awesome weekend:
-Damn, that Belmont was so cool. Rolled over to Churchill around 6:20 on a whim, grabbed a double bourbon, made a few bets, and watched it on the Big Board with the crowd. Chills the entire way, such a cool moment. There aren't many things more exciting in sports than a Triple Crown race, especially one of that magnitude. Just awesome
-Member/Member this weekend...ended up 3rd in our Flight (and 5th overall). Missed the shootout, but our team cashed in just shy of a Grand, which was nice. Finally won some money out there.
...witnessed one of the most painful things ever. Team leading our flight had 2 putts from 4 feet to win 5K, then advance to the shootout for the grand prize. Dude lips his 4 footer to about kick-in range...walks around and taps it in like we've all done 1000000 times, and it lips out. Ugh. Ended up being potentially a $8,000 putt or so....I'm not exaggerating when I say it was a foot or less. Just Brutal.
-Bron is struggling from the field, but he's playing a game/role he's not entirely comfortable with, having to shoot that much. But he's basically willing them to a competitive series without his best 2 players...pretty unreal. Averaging 42/12/9 in the Finals -- Just imagine what Jordan would be doing!
Curry was pretty miserable last night, it happens. It's more amazing it doesn't happen more often, really -- for such a volume shooter who takes so many bad (for anyone else) shots. Testament to him that it doesn't.
...Klay Thompson is pretty amazing to watch in his own right when he gets really going. That quick pull is lethal.
Weird Finals for me, still don't know who I'm rooting for. Game 1 I was cheering on the Warriors, last night I was in Bron's corner...I'm good either way on this one - 7 OT games would be wodie.
-When is baseball season, btw?
