Golden State Warriors' Tribute
2018-2019 Golden State Warriors, NBA Finalists.
Photo by Ed Jay.
Post Mortem for the Proud
by Pete Elman
When my son was twelve he pitched in a little league
championship game for the ages. Entering the fray in the top of the first with the bases loaded, nobody out, and our team down 3-0, he struck out the side and did not allow a base runner the rest of the game -- 18 up, 18 down. But we lost, 3-2, when his hard grounder up the middle--with the bases loaded--was grabbed by the shortstop, who dove to the second base bag and touched it, ending the game and the season. My close friend and co-coach at the time, Erik, said something that day about my kid that has stuck with me ever since, "
What I love about him is that he's not afraid to lose."
In a post-season for the ages, the Warriors lived up to their name--and then some. The finals were like something out of Shakespeare, or maybe we should go back 2000 years before the bard, to Sophocles, who, like the Warriors, was a winner, competing in 30 competitions,
winning 24. Hell, let's go back 300 more years before that and call up another Greek, Homer,
the greatest of all epic poets. For what transpired this post-season was not just a playoff run--
it was an Odyssey.
In defeat, they ennobled themselves and enriched our lives. Hollywood could not have scripted a more compelling, thrilling saga. From the tribulations of Kevin Durant's free agency to his calf strain and ultimately torn Achilles, to the amazing heroics of Klay Thompson and Draymond Green, we were treated to an extended basketball drama of the first degree. Never in the history of the NBA has a champion been tested so often. And they passed with flying colors. Twenty years from now, when the sounds of Roaracle have subsided and the roll call of heroes is remembered, the memories and emotions will surge back as if it were yesterday.
Kevin Durant,
who, perhaps unknowingly, risked his career to come back to help a team on the brink of elimination, a team that desperately needed him, quieting a nation of doubters who questioned his desire to play the game he loves.
Andre Iguodala,
who once again showed the world his Nigerian lion's heart, battered and bruised, summoning up the will to fight until the final whistle.
Steph Curry
, the unselfish, indomitable captain who revealed the love for his teammates over and over again, never complaining, always respecting his opponent, demonstrating to the sporting world what a gracious loser looks like.
Draymond Green,
the heart and soul of the Warriors, who, in the crucible of the post-season, with the dynasty on the line, never took a play off in 22 games.
Klay Thompson,
no longer Robin to Steph's Batman, who finally put his critics to rest with an unforgettable clinic in game six; he dribbled, he shot and made ten free throws, and most importantly, showed the grit and greatness of a superstar, the quintessential teammate. His walk back through the tunnel to shoot those free throws, the crowd screaming, made Willis Reed's heroics pale by comparison.
Steve Kerr,
whose leadership, poise and compassion for his players these past five years transcended coaching; friendship, love and belief all wrapped up in one.
At the time, we could not imagine anything topping games five and six against Houston, but games five and six versus the Raptors did. When some time has passed and we can look back on this incredibly special team, what we will remember about the Golden State Warriors will not only be the victories and rings, but how they fought relentlessly this spring and held their
heads high.
With the stunning injuries to Klay and KD, the dynasty is delayed, deferred, and perhaps done. But one thing is certain. For once, the cliché is immutably true--the Warriors showed the heart of a champion. They may have lost the series, but they went out with dignity, pride and tremendous class, shutting up the naysayers and haters who have been jealously villainizing them for five years.
As Steph said after game five, "We have nothing to prove." Once again, it's not always whether you win that matters. It is how you play the game--and how you lose. For that is the measure of a man--and a team. They were not afraid to lose. And in doing just that, they went out winners, champions in defeat.

From 2000-2005 I wrote a column for the late great Oakland Athletics Fan Coalition (OAFC) entitled
Elman Swings,
a play on the fact that I'm a musician. Some of you may remember the OAFC, an East Bay organization that at its peak had several thousand members devoted to keeping the A's in Oakland and guess what? They've succeeded. Perhaps one or two of you might remember my articles (more like rants) about baseball and society. So when the Ultimate Sports Guide asked me to compose regular screeds called
Outlaw's Outtakes, how could I say "No?" ('Outlaw' is their nickname for me.) -- Pete Elman

San Francisco Giants Report
San Francisco Giants bullpen coach Matt Herges (left) talks to starting pitcher Madison Bumgarner in the dugout during the seventh inning in their game against the Los Angeles Dodgers on Sunday, June 9 at Oracle Park. Giants pitching star Madison Bumgarner was superb, with one exception. In the first inning he surrendered a solo home run to Dodgers first baseman Max Muncy, which turned out to be the only run scored on the day. Final score: Los Angeles 1, San Francisco 0.
The first place Dodgers left town having won the three-game series, 2-1.

A couple days off proved helpful for the Giants last week as they showed signs of a spark.
On Tuesday they began a two-game set against the San Diego Padres. Despite a first-pitch-of-the-game jack by Fernando Tatis Jr., starter Tyler Beede recovered and dealt seven strikeouts to back a 6-5 Giants comeback at Oracle Park. Evan Longoria and Pablo Sandoval fueled a late rally with a respective two-RBI double and a sacrifice fly in a decisive three-run bottom of the seventh.
Longoria recorded another important RBI in Wednesday's matchup to put the Giants ahead in the bottom of the fifth. Righty Shaun Anderson earned his second career victory to improve to
2-1 by allowing just four hits.
San Francisco made it three-in-a-row after a day off in their first bout with the Milwaukee Brewers. Kevin Pillar went 3-for-3 at the plate with a solo blast and Sandoval and Yastrzemski added two RBIs apiece to lift the Giants to a 5-3 victory. On Saturday San Francisco won their fourth straight behind a solid outing from ace Madison Bumgarner in a competitive matchup,
8-7. Stephen Vogt went 3-for-4 at the plate with two RBIs, and Mike Yastrzemski closed out the game with a spectacular diving catch.
Now with 30 wins on their shoulders, the Giants looked for an unlikely sweep of the 39-win Brewers. They were unsuccessful on Father's Day, falling 5-3, even though Jeff Samardzija knocked in a run for the first time in two years. Regardless, the Giants got back on the right track last week, improving to 30-39 and winning four out of five.
San Francisco will look to stay on this path as they square up with the Los Angeles Dodgers and Arizona D-backs on the road this upcoming week.

Oakland A's Report
Oakland Athletics third baseman Matt Chapman receives congratulations from third base coach Matt Williams after hitting a home run during the eighth inning against the Houston Astros at Oakland Coliseum on Sunday, June 2.

The Athletics hoped to jump up in the AL West standings last week by adding road victories as they headed out of town.
They fell short last Tuesday in the first of a three-game set as Tampa Bay Rays starter Charlie Morton dealt seven shutout innings on his way to a 6-2 win and his eighth victory.
On Wednesday Matt Olson and Khris Davis ripped back-to-back homers for a 4-3 victory. In the rubber match, Ramón Laureano smoked his first career grand slam to propel the A's to the series victory on the road, 6-2. Brett Anderson, who has been consistent in his last few starts, made a solid appearance on the mound, allowing two runs over 6.1 innings.
After an off-day, Oakland returned to AL West play against the Seattle Mariners on Friday night at the Oakland Coliseum.
Daniel Vogelbach juiced a three-run shot on the way to a hefty thumping of the Athletics, 9-2, as Mariners starter Marco Gonzales limited the A's to just seven hits over seven innings. Oakland bounced back on Saturday with their own high-octane outing, putting up 11 runs behind starter Frankie Montas' nine strikeouts over six complete innings for a 11-2 victory. Marcus Semien logged a 3-4 outing at the plate, smacking a solo home run alongside an additional RBI. On Father's Day the A's were unable to win two straight rubber matches as the Mariners pushed across four runs in the top of the eighth inning to win, 6-3.
Oakland sits at 36-36 after concluding a 3-3 week. Around this time last year the A's began heating up their .500 record for an eventual playoff spot with a 97-win season. Only time will tell if this story will be retold. The Athletics continue their ten-game homestand, first taking on the Baltimore Orioles on Monday evening before the Tampa Bay Rays come to the East Bay for a four-game weekend set starting Thursday night.

SONOMA, Calif. (June 14, 2019) -- Iconic Bay Area soul artists Tower of Power will perform the national anthem for the Toyota/Save Mart 350 Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series event at Sonoma Raceway on Sunday, June 23.

Lead vocalist Marcus Scott will join the mighty five-piece Tower of Power Horns, including the band's founders Doc Kupka and Emilio Castillo, to perform the national anthem minutes before the green flag falls on the Toyota/Save Mart 350.
"We are really excited to play our National Anthem for the NASCAR race in Sonoma," said Emilio Castillo, bandleader for Tower of Power. "Tower of Power Horns and Marcus Scott will be proudly representing for our country at one of the biggest events in Northern California.
