Joe T., always working hard…

By Joe Torosian

Kick it!

Rory Mcllroy, bogeys 18, but still holds off Scottie Scheffler to win his second consecutive Masters. And….

Naaah, I didn’t watch it.

For some reason, it was important to see the New York Mets get swept by the Sacramento A’s and drop their fifth straight.

Hopefully, the Mets can steal one tonight in The Ravine.

It is a Laker town, but give the Clippers credit for making the play-in bracket. They started 6-21, finished 42-40, and Kawhi Leonard appeared in 65 games.

(Clippers have 12 former first-round picks on their active roster: Nicolas Batum, Bradley Beal, Bogdan Bogdanovic, John Collins, Kris Dunn, Darius Garland, Isaiah Jackson, Kawhi Leonard, Brook Lopez, Benedict Mathurin, Yanic Niederhauser, and TyTy Washington Jr.)

I’m not an Angels fan, but who is this Jose Soriano? He’s averaging 28 points per outing for my fantasy team. He keeps this up through July, and I’ll become a serious fan-boy. He keeps it up through September, and I’ll make him my profile pic.

So in game 81, Victor Wembanyama scores 40, grabs 13, and dishes for five against the Dallas Mavericks, but in game 82 against the Denver Nuggets, he sits?

WNBA Draft tonight…I feel a responsibility to remind people of this…And I also think I’d go Lauren Betts before Azzi Fudd. Something about 6-7 being a little more effective than 5-11.

Speaking of drafts, the NFL Draft is coming, and the only thing the Rams could do to make me angry is to take a quarterback, tackle, or corner at #13. They can trade back, collect capital, and pick one of these positions, and I’d be cool. But spending #13 overall on a player unlikely to contribute in 2026 would definitely thin out the “all in” narrative.

The Miami Dolphins re-signed tight end Greg Dulcich in March to a one-year deal. It stood out to me because the last game I covered for The Mid was St. Francis High School in the 2017 CIF final. The standout receiver in that game was Dulcich.

Here’s a question…I have a memory of Coachella being one thing—like being more cowboy—and now it seems like something else…Am I wrong on this?

Of course, I also remember Cal Jam 2 differently than most.

After HC stops in Orlando, Boston, the Clippers, Philadelphia, and Milwaukee, it’s time for Doc Rivers to go to ESPN.

…And the Bucks to clean house.

#23—May the San Francisco Giants rot and lie stinking in the earth…The Dude abides…
