mitchell boggs is terrible.

i want to see him throw a touchdown pass and then pound on the ground with both hands.

come on d-bags.

castro's singles aren't falling in as much... i still think flaherty belongs at daytona and starlin at peoria.

whatever, i've been rooting for the cubs for almost 30 years. if neifi perez, jose macias, todd hundley and lenny harris were able to say "we" when they were on the team, then i'm allowed to say it too. the cubs mean a lot more to me than they ever meant to those losers.

The problem for me on 12 wasn't that he went for the center of the green, it was club selection. He went with a 9 iron that he had to smash to get it there. He should have gone with less power on more club. The start of that round is what it was. But the tournament is won and lost at the end of the round on Sunday. And nobody went after it. I just would like to see the Champion be someone that played great golf at the end. I don't think any of them played great golf at the end. oh i agree but that was more the fault of the guys who made the playoff. tiger and phil didn't lose the tourney on sunday, they lost it by not shooting lower scores the previous 3 days. especially on saturday, they needed to make their move but they sorta just ended up treading water.

if i ever go to KC i definitely want to catch a ballgame there.

But he did choke. He shanked two very short puts on 15 and 17 that cost him two strokes and he also had a bogey on 18 after getting a birdie and two pars already in the tournament. That's three strokes. If he just gets a par on 12, that saves two more strokes. All in all, that's five strokes he missed, with four guaranteed if you leave out 18. He finished at -9, which was three back, so if you add in four of those strokes, he's at -13 which wins the tournament. The way he played the front nine was amazing, and that can't be taken away from him. But on 12, he was one back of the leaders with six holes left after that - he didn't need to stick it two feet from the pin. He just needed to get it on the green, and two putt for the par. Tiger finished four back and even if he pars those last two holes, he's two back. He had two pars and a birdie on 17 but just a par and two bogeys on 18 so expecting him to do much more on that hole isn't fair. he didn't know that perry was going to give two strokes back. he birdied 12 and had easy birdies coming up on 13 and 15, you can't play trying to par #12 if you've been firing at the pin all day and are still trailing a guy who is playing well. plus this silly way of thinking is giving him no credit for the good shots and is putting a label on him because of his poor shots. he choked on his putts on 15 and 17, but what about the great drives and great iron shots he hit to put himself in position to make eagle and birdie on those holes? did tiger choke on his shots because he couldn't get as close? tiger also missed some makeable putts in his round and failed to capitalize when he was in good scoring position in the fairway, i think we should add those to his "could've" score. bottom line, if mickelson had shot 63 (to get to -13) it would've been the best round of the tournament by 2 strokes and would've tied the course record that has been reached twice in 75 years. not doing it is not a choke.

that doesn't make any sense. if his bat was slowing down a lot he should go the opposite way a lot because he can't get around on a good fastball. see jim edmonds in 2007-08, he went oppo all the time, a lot more than he did earlier in his career.

The booing occurred in the pregame when all the players and coaches were announced to the fans one by one. To add what was said by manbearcub, Marquis and Gregg were also both booed before the game, and there were a smattering of boos for players like Miles and a couple of others. [expletive] ridiculous. if anyone does that while i'm at a game i guarantee i will punch them in their god damn fat face. i'll bail you out. well i won't but i'll be thinking of you.

he was mentioned in BP 2009 as having taken a big step forward. he did exhibit pretty nice power and he's not allergic to walks... if he can cut down on the K's his bat may play in the corner outfield. i sort of had stuck a fork in him after he couldn't stick at short, but an 873 OPS at peoria from a 21 year old who's been moved around a lot in the field is worth keeping an eye on.

i'm becoming irate listening to people say that mickelson choked. he shot 30 on the front 9 by going for every pin; he went for the pin on 12 and people are ripping on him for not shooting at the center of the green. he didn't get back in contention by playing that way; he rolled the dice again and lost. by the way, tiger woods bogeyed the last two holes. sometimes a guy just has a bad hole or two, it's not always a choke.

i'm not a phillies fan but having lived in south jersey most of my life, i've heard by far more games called by harry kalas than by any other announcer. he had a wonderful voice and a great way of passing the game along to the fans. the phillies used to be on a pay tv station back in the 80s so i would listen to a lot of games on my clock radio. i will miss him a lot.

sorry guys i must have jinxed it.

Last time the CUBS drew 8 walks in a game.... Sun 12 Apr 09 (10 walks) in an 6-4 win at Milwaukee Go CUBS !! during the dusty era you'd have to go back like 2-3 years to get 8 walks in a game.

man the rockies have a lot of pitching cast-offs.

i'm so impressed by this lilly no hitter and the patient offense that i guarantee a cubs world series victory.

TWO THIRDS OF THE WAY TO A COMPLETE GAME NO HITTER.

agreed, catching controversy in the making.

NO HITTER NO HITTER NO HITTER

104 pitches in 3.2 innings and 1 earned run allowed. that's gotta be hard to do.

see guys i told you theriot was good

runners on base, time to stop hitting.

agreed, i can feel it!!!
