Thank you for providing me and a certain Mr. Woods a few moments of rekindled youth yesterday afternoon at the PGA Championship. Tiger\u2019s second-place finish following his lowest score\u00a0ever\u00a0<\/em>on a major championship Sunday gives me hope that yes, one day I might actually see this man win another major.<\/p>\n Wow.<\/p>\n Less cool was the moment five hours later when my hometown Washington Nationals turned in a \u201csecond-place\u201d finish of their own at Wrigley Field.<\/p>\n Seriously? Down three and down to your last strike? Bases loaded? And the batter hits a grand slam? That doesn\u2019t really happen, right?
