Anybody who has spent five minutes around Watson

Asked how he will deal with the spotlight's added glare, Watson said: "Just make up more stuff. Just lie a little bit. They'll fall for it. Start giving p.c. answers and then they won't want to talk to me."

He was kidding. Anybody who has spent five minutes around Watson knows political correctness is not in his repertoire. On the course, he loves to hook shots for the thrill of the recovery, but off it he is a straight shooter.

"I'm just Bubba from Bagdad, Florida," Watson said. "Small town. Play golf because I love the game of golf. I play golf because it's fun. Every day is different."

Eric O’Flaherty escaped the jam by striking out Chris Snyder

Eric O'Flaherty escaped the jam by striking out Chris Snyder to end the inning.

Pinch-hitter Eric Hinske drove in an insurance run with a single in the eighth inning that made it 6-4.

Houston had a chance to tie in the ninth, but Johnson grounded into a double play with runners on first and second and nobody out before Snyder grounded to third to end it.

"I let them off the hook a little bit," Johnson said. "It was a bad night. This one is on me. I had a bunch of guys on base when I was hitting, and I didn't come up with the big hit. I'll take this one."

the uglier things got against Ohio the more Barnes

The thing you have to wrap your brain around with Barnes is he is an NBA talent who has been great, phenomenal really at times, yet fails to live up to expectations because people want more from him.

More has yet to come, though, not for lack of trying.

If fact, the uglier things got against Ohio the more Barnes doubled down on himself. I do not know if I admire this trait or not, though, I lean toward admiration. He kept shooting—fade-away jumpers, driving runners, 3-pointers, crazy shots, easy shots, lots and lots of shots despite limited to almost zero success.

Moss always believed he could still perform

York told reporters earlier Monday at team headquarters his team needed "someone to stretch the field." The athletic, 6-foot-4 Moss fits the bill.

Moss said he initially retired for "personal reasons outside of football" and considered making a comeback late in the 2011 season before ultimately deciding to give his body more time to train. He suffered a shoulder injury during 2010 with New England.

Moss always believed he could still perform.

"It was a decision to get back in the game because I still love the game and think I can play at a high level," he said. "It was obvious they liked what they saw. I don't want to let them down."
