| 0:21.9 | Hi, I'm Stefan Fatsis, and this is Slate's sports podcast. |
| 0:25.1 | Hang up and listen for the week of April 11th, 2016. |
| 0:28.6 | On this week's show, we'll be joined by New York Times golf writer Karen Krauss, |
| 0:32.3 | who witnessed the meltdown in the magnolias, the agony near Amen Corner, |
| 0:37.1 | the Appomattox amid the azaleas, |
| 0:39.2 | the river of tears at Ray's Creek, that is Jordan Speets, Back Nine Meltdown at the Masters |
| 0:44.9 | that handed the green jacket to a guy whose name I just had to double check, Englishman |
| 0:49.8 | Danny Willett. |
| 0:50.9 | Then Chris Ballard of Sports Illustrated will come aboard to discuss the Golden State Warriors, a basketball team you may have heard of because we talked about them on last week's show. But on Sunday night, they tied the NBA record for most wins in a season and will go for the record at home against the Grizzlies of Memphis on Wednesday. |
| 1:07.6 | Finally, baseball writer Jeff Passon of Yahoo will be with us to discuss his excellent new book, |
| 1:12.4 | The Arm, about the epidemic of elbow injuries in the sport and the mystery about what to do about |
| 1:17.9 | them. Our leader, Slate executive editor Josh Levine, is locked inside Butler Cabin, |
| 1:23.1 | trying on all 44 tall green jackets. Joining me from New York is Mike Peska, host of the Slate podcast, The Gist, with Mike Pesca. Big news that we must address, Mike, Zelmo Beatty, whom we, of course, remember every week and the credits of the show was elected posthumously to the Basketball Hall of Fame. Big Zee, it's going in. That warms our hearts. I think we're a little bit responsible for that. I would, I'm going to give us, you know, the extra 2%, let's say that we, we were responsible for the extra 2%. If you did a search on who's talking about Zelmo Beatty the most vociferously and consistently, can you really, do you really get better than hang up and listen? I do have to say something, though. |
| 2:06.2 | I don't know if the battle of our Appomattox is a good analogy because there was the battle, |
| 2:11.4 | but also it was the place of the Great Truis. Maybe Appomatics amid the azaleas was a stretch. |
| 2:38.0 | Well, also you have to go where the British defeat the Americans. So maybe a taekondiroga amongst the tulips. I don't know if there are tulips there. Bob Ryan, can we get back to Zellmo for a second? Bob Ryan, I got a beef with Bob Ryan. He wrote over the weekend that Zelmo was a rock solid 6-9 center for the NBA Hawks and Lakers plus the ABA Utah stars. To me, he's a bit shy of Hall status. |
| 2:37.1 | But hey, perhaps he's better than I thought. |
