Sports 101: Five lessons from last week

Five lessons from last week:

▪ No one can strike out like Brett Lawrie and Ryan Howard. At least not yet.

▪ The Spurs know a thing or 11 about timing.

▪ The Republic FC-LA Galaxy II rivalry has at least equaled Kings-Lakers.

▪ The Padres’ offseason shopping spree looks like money well spent.

▪ Jordan Spieth’s actions speak louder than Woods.
