  1. He's the Glenn Beck of sports announcers.
  2. That Buck Showalter agrees?
  3. Not to just be argumentative, but really, the umpire has final control. And that's a variable that hasn't been mentioned in this either. 3-2 count. Pitcher throws a ball at the outside corner, that the batter doesn't swing at. Is it a ball or a strike? Walk or strikeout? Given or taken? Maybe it's not just pitchers that are "giving" walks, but umpires too. A pitcher could throw the same pitches in the same spots with one ump and get 75% strikes, while another with a tighter zone could only call 55-60% strikes. It adds another complication in the "give/take" equation.

  5. I do a lot more muttering curse words than screaming them on the golf course though. I play with my father in law a lot, and I doubt he notices most of the time. I wonder how many people in the gallery could hear what Tiger said without the aid of a directional mic.
  6. I don't know if they will trade him, but if there is an organization that will trade him over fears of fan discontentment, it is the Steelers. I wonder what it would take to trade for him? I know the Rams have talked to the Steelers about a Big Ben trade, but who else would want a head case QB? Oakland?
  7. http://sports.espn.go.com/golf/news/story?id=3890247 Golf Digest survey of PGA players from last year: Tiger wasn't even mentioned. Most of those guys aren't names you'd see on TV very often.
  8. Given the story being discussed, I'm mildly amused at your typo.
  9. I feel like I'm stuck in an infinite loop. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Infinite_loop#Infinite_recursion http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cause_and_Effect
  10. I feel like I'm stuck in an infinite loop.
  11. I'm pretty ambivalent about it, but probably leaning a bit toward rooting against him, just cuz he's an ass. But if he was an ass that had played better when he was here, I wouldn't much care.
  12. Yeah...it was GD...not Jesus.
  13. He's talking about them being greedy bastards that want way more than their actual market value, right?
  14. And what he said was really super tame! PG-13 at the very worst.
  15. ROFL...Jim Nantz needs to chill just a bit... http://golf.fanhouse.com/2010/04/12/cbs-jim-nantz-chastises-tiger-for-behavior-at-augusta/?ncid=edlinkusspor00000004
  16. Haha...well done. That is a serious trailer trash haircut for sure.
  17. Lets hope we get more than two games out of him this year You're such a greedy SOB.
  18. Didn't see it posted elsewhere.
  19. Apparently Greg is answering questions on his Twitter right now.
  20. Yep...birdied the 18th, and is the sole leader. Hope he can hang in there the whole way.
  21. Um...ok. What does that have to do with this rumor?
  22. Haha, same. I called Heyward's homer, and Z's overthrow tht led to a run and also Lee's overthrow. It's comical, really. You called 2 overthrows? It's not that hard if you predict "bad things" to happen on every play, you can claim credit when "bad things" happen occasionally.
  23. I think Byrd was trying to beat Fukudome to the plate after hitting that homer.
  24. Not sure but I don't know how the opposing teams pitcher affects Gallardo unless you are talking about Gallardo's hitting or the arbitrary stat of wins. It's wins and the fact that they could be wasting some of Gallardo's better starts against other teams better pitchers and might not get maximum value out of his appearances. Along those lines at least. Doesn't that go both ways? If you pitch him against a worse pitcher, and it's a laugher that the #5 guy could have won, that's a "waste" as well.
  25. For a friggin' 5th rd pick no less. Well they'd have probably released him if it came down to it, but with both the Lions and Bears wanting him, the Seahawks got something out of it.
