WHAT'S BREWING TODAY Thursday, June 9 On Today's Scorecard Telling It Like It Is

Christine Brennan of the USA TODAY is a columnist who tells is like it is ... or isn't. In her latest take on the new Saudi Golf League –which is trying to convince PGA tour members to bolt to this new league – she insists that Phil Mickelson is taking the blood money and running to the Saudis. She says to say goodbye to Mickelson, everyone. Say goodbye to his reputation, his soul, his character, his good name. Say goodbye to whatever you once thought of him, how much you liked him, what a good guy he was. Good ol' thumbs-up Phil announced that he is going into business with murderers. Mickelson will play in this week's LIV Golf tournament in London, joining the inaugural event of the much-discussed and universally criticized Saudi golf league, which is funded by the people who killed and dismembered Washington Post columnist Jamal Khashoggi in 2018. Mickelson's business partner will now be Saudi crown prince Mohammed bin Salman, who sanctioned the killing of Khashoggi, according to human rights organizations and intelligence services, Mickelson neglected to talk about the money MBS is paying him. This is going to get ugly – fast.

Grinding Out The Profits Cease What You're Doing

White Sox pitcher Dylan Cease appears to have slipped a cotter pin. After compiling a great 1.00 WHIP in his first six starts this season, he's posted a 1.69 WHIP in his last five games, while issuing 13 BBs with 14 Ks in his last three efforts. With Halos hurler Tyler Andersonin brilliant KW form with 35 Ks and only 1 BB in his previous five contests, while also sporting a 1.52 ERA with a 0.97 WHIP away this season, you know what to do this afternoon.
