One word:

You have to find a way to capture the feeling of watching LeBron James make one of his signature chase-down blocks, or Steph Curry launch three-pointers from near half-court.

Interesting. I have also been turned away from the restroom at the W Hotel while inebriated. Just one of the many, many things Ricky Seals-Jones and I have in common, apparently. Although I managed to avoid getting arrested, I just went around the corner and peed in their planters.

In fairness to your misunderstanding, Nabokov and Amis are easily mistaken.

the A’s are just chasing the Mariners. Seattle has the fourth-hardest schedule over the second half of the season, while Oakland’s is much softer (they don’t play a current playoff team for another 19 games). The Mariners just lost their ace, while Oakland is only getting healthier.
