The Milwaukee Bucks beat the Phoenix Suns last night, to even the NBA Finals at two games apiece. The home team has won each of the four games so far. Game 5 is in Phoenix, at 7 Central Saturday.
Sometimes I really enjoy watching sports without a rooting interest. I will be happy to see either the Bucks (for Greg Smith) or Suns (for Kyle Macy) win the NBA championship, and I thought last night's game was just fantastic. And now I'm enjoying the golf today. Here's Justin Thomas (even through 10) teeing off, and I'd be fine with Louisville Justin, anxious Spieth, farmer Oosthuizen ... most any of them winning. I don't care really. It's just fun to crank up the air conditioning, watch these guys in the wind and imagine myself being somewhere pretty and not 200 degrees.
But as for the 1975 Major League Baseball All-Star Game (on Channel 6 at 7 today, Tuesday, July 15), though I will be excited to see Gary Carter, Randy Jones and Bob Watson in their exotic Expos, Padres and Astros uniforms, I am firmly in the camp of the American Leaguers. Vida Blue is breathtaking in all gold.
