Tiger Looks Human

Who would have figured that Tiger would lose to a man who has never won a PGA tournament in his career? Tiger looked human and Yang made some amazing shots after making some almost major gaffs. Missing a relatively easy put on 17 to make it a 2 shot lead and then following that with a second shot on 18 that was incredible. I tuned in late and figured Tiger would be pulling out a lead by a couple shots by the time the 18 rolled around and it would be another one of those glorious walks done the fairway to a huge hand. Well he was walking down that fairway, but the hand was for Yang. It was incredible to watch as Tiger fell apart, at least for Tiger, and Yang stayed steady and finished strong. It was nice to see Tiger lose in the final round and look like some of the other golfers that he has faced off against and beaten. At least now they will no longer say that everytime he is in the final group it is a guarunteed win.

Brad Penny

I am just wondering if anybody showed him how to keep a runner close to his bag. I didn't realize that we were supposed to just hand them the extra base(s). Borbon stole 4 bases, 3 of them off of Penny. OK after 1 or 2 maybe we should keep an eye on him, same with Andrus. Borbon had 1 sb going into the game but everyone knew he was fast, except maybe Penny. Penny has given up 27 SB this year, Beckett has given up 12 in more innings. Is it really that difficult to hold a player closer to the bag so that the catcher has a shot at throwing him out? Or is it just that Penny doesn't care?

Red Sox/Rangers

I could have sworn that I heard Tito's bacon sizzling up until Martinez hit that double. I know that putting in a pitcher that is faster than the runner is pretty common place, there had to be a better choice. They had Kotchman on the bench, surely he was faster than Varitek. They won so we should be very happy about that, putting some distance between us and the Rangers, but if you are going to run for Varitek why not as soon as he got to second. I realize that if Woodward gets the bunt down he should make it to 3rd easily, but you never know so why not substute then. We won, so we should be happy with that, but I for one didn't like thet move, Varitek may be slow but he would have read the ball and made sure he wasn't thrown out at home.

Baseball-month and a half to go

Alright, here we go, who will win the AL east (Orioles made a strong start but it was all an illusion). Boston is 5 1/2 back as of today but are finally winning games and have 6 more against the yanks. Even more important with 6 against the Rays can they even make the playoffs with the relief core they have in place. They are looking a little shaky and if the bats go quiet again this could get ugly.

Will the cards win in the central, with every other team looking like they are starting to falter. Better yet can they beat the dodgers in the playoffs?

I don't have much faith that the Mariners will do anything in the wild card or in the West, but I am hoping that Texas beats LA, just because I don't like the Angels.

Browns receiver

So from what I have read about Steptoe's injury he dove for a ball in practice, landed on his shoulder and hurt himself. How does that make it the coaches fault? I have heard of some dumb reasons to blame a coach by an agent but this one is pretty bad. Whether or not it was raining and the coach changed how they were going to practice if he hadn't dived for the ball he never would have injured himself. He tried to make a great play in practice and secure a spot on the team, oh well, if you stay quiet you earn points and make yourself a reason the team may be losing (it is the browns they will be losing a lot), if you blame the coach you look like an idiot.
