The Sharks are down again, and dangerously close to out, and I am beginning to sound like a broken record. Shark’s Coach Todd McLellan is disappointed with his team’s performance, while Giant’s pitcher Barry Zito is just plain disappointed. Scott Olster reflects on the “price” of education, while Bruce Jenkins voices outrage that the Oklahoma City basketball franchise isn’t just a cruel, belated April Fool’s prank. This and more in sports Friday April 24th, 2009.
