It’s a bad week to bet on sports: Tiger blows a lead to a player I’ve never heard of (not Tiger, Phil, Anika), Federer blows a 5-1 lead in the fifth set to a player I’ve never heard of (not Federer, Nadal, Roddick or Blake), and the Yankees lose a game to a pitcher they DFA’d earlier in the season.
