LPGA pro hopes eating Subway every day at this week’s U.S. Women’s Open will be her lucky charm—again

Emma Talley earned the biggest win of her life at the Country Club of Charleston in 2013. That week she also probably earned enough points on her Subway card (Yes, sandwiches, not underground transportation) to eat for free at the fast-food joint for a month. Fueled by footlongs every day, the University of Alabama product won the U.S. Amateur.

Well, Talley returned to the site of that victory for this week's U.S. Women's Open. And it looks like she's sticking to the same game food plan.
Here's what Talley tweeted on Thursday afternoon:

Earlier in the week, Talley told Golfweek's Beth Ann Nichols she would be returning for her usual, a turkey sub with no cheese. And why not? After all, Bubba Watson ate burritos all week during his two Masters victories.
And after carding an opening one-under-par 70, Talley is in the mix in t..

Broadcaster, upset that Derek Dietrich is having fun bashing dingers, says Dietrich’s dead grandpa would be ashamed

Andy Lyons(Photo by Andy Lyons/Getty Images)Derek Dietrich has transformed from Miami Marlins utility man—right up there with non-alcoholic beer vender at Wrigley Field as the worst job in baseball—to home run bashing god for the Cincinnati Reds. It only took Dietrich 118 at-bats to get to 17 homers this season, the seventh fewest at-bats by a player with 17 homers since 1961. Not bad for a guy who had 16 homers all of last year.
A feat fun in itself, but Dietrich is really exploring the space in Cincy. Earlier this year he took on the role of exterminator when a swarm of bees delayed a game. The next night, he pulled duty as an electrician when a power outage halted a contest in Oakland. He drew an eye-black mustache on his face during a throwback game. Oh, and he's also admiring his bombs like works of art, staring at his long shots from the plate and taking slow trots around the bases.
The entire town has rallied around Dietrich, and most of baseball has too. Who could possibly..

Carl Gunnarsson asks coach for “one more chance” at urinal before scoring Stanley Cup Final game-winner

Adam GlanzmanAmerica, the only one thing stands between us and Boston sports going three for four in major professional championships this year: The rag-tag St. Louis Blues, who were DFL in the NHL as late as January before going on a run for the ages. After blowing a two-goal lead in Game 1 of the Stanley Cup Finals, many buried the Blues once more. After all, who among us can halt the grinding gears of fate currently powering the Bruins to yet another Masshole triumph? But just when all hope seemed lost, something magical happened. With the puck about the drop on overtime in a crucial Game 2, Blues defensemen Carl Gunnarsson sidled up to his coach at the urinal and delivered one simple message: “All I need is one more chance.”
Three minutes later he got it.

Even better than the goal, however, was the full, wonderfully profane story about Gunnarsson's fateful leak, relayed by Blues coach Craig Berube in the locker room m..
