Can't escape Tyler
Posted Wednesday, June 24, at 12:53 PM
While on vacation in San Francisco I've tried to avoid sports as much as possible. Even though the Giants' Tim Lincecum pitched Tuesday night just across the Bay in Oakland. Could have gone, but passed it up to spend time with my wife.
Haven't picked up a paper or turned on SportsCenter (other than to get a Cardinals score) but sitting here checking my email at a coffee joint (love that free Wifi), I see a SF Chronicle and need to kill some time while Jen is in a meeting (she has a conference and her vacation starts tonight). Back on page D7 what do I see but Tyler Hansbrough throwing up one of his jump-put shots with a story about the Thursday night's NBA Draft. Rob Tate will have a story on Tyler in Thursday's DAR while he and Alex Abate will have full coverage of the Draft in Friday's edition. (Note to my boss, I bought the plane tickets in March not knowing the date of the draft, not that I had much of a choice other than vacation or divorice.) Anyway, good luck to the teams that pass on Tyler. It seems like everybody who ever said he couldn't do something -- win a state title, play in college, win a national title, finish college, play in the NBA, whatever -- just fuels this guy that much more. As for when Hansbrough will be picked, nobody seems to know. I know this, if he goes to Memphis, there will be a lot of season tickets sold to the 63901 area code. If he goes to Golden State, my vacation is over early.
Clearwater's Andy Moss drafted The St. Louis Cardinals selected Piedmont native Andy Moss in the MLB Draft on Thursday. The 2005 grad of Clearwater was 5-5 with a 3.68 ERA this spring for Lincoln University. He struck out 100 and walk 27 in 85 2/3 innings. Hope to have more in today's DAR...

Mules win district golf title EUREKA -- After the first three holes of the MSHSAA Class 4 District 1 golf tournament things looked bleak for the Poplar Bluff Mules. A pair of freshmen were a combined 12-over par and one senior was starting what he later called the worst round of his career. Another senior was trading shots with a member of the team that had already beaten the Mules earlier in the season and even a two-time all-state medalist struggled...
