You fail, Renae Riley
Entrusted by Lisa Salters with the fate of the Golden State Warriors franchise, Renae Riley — wife of new GM Larry and his “good luck charm” at tonight’s NBA Draft lottery — couldn’t deliver. Some might blame the ping pong balls, but whatever. The Warriors will have the seventh pick as expected and some peeps want them to draft Brandon Jennings. The mix tape looks good to us, but then again, those mix tapes always do. If only real life could be spliced together and set to some hip-hop/soul beats. Larry looked about as comfortable at the lottery as he did at his introductory press conference, so Warriors fans are still feeling faaaan-tastic.

The 49ers moved one step closer to moving 90,000 steps away from San Francisco. The team reached a business deal with the city of Santa Clara to finance the stadium, now comes the politicking and voting. Yay. Merc
Barry Zito is the new Matt Cain. He got only one run from his offense and lost to San Diego. Luckily for the A’s, Matt Holliday is the new Matt Holliday and hit a game-winning home run in the 11th.

Mike Singletary is intense. We get it. Call us when he does something crazy. Ah, heck, who are we kidding, we’ll write about him pretty much no matter what. Shutdown Corner
An argument for being patient while the family gets ready for the ballgame: Modesto Nuts fan gets to the game late, is five millionth fan, gets showered with goodies and an air-conditioned suite on a 100-plus-degree day. Considering the guy’s dad sold soda at Modesto games in 1933, he pretty much deserved it. Modesto Bee
