  1. I see Dempster now believes in the Power of the Beard.
  2. I don't understand the point of DH'ing Lee twice. His defense alone should be enough to keep him on the field.
  3. I've said it a million times here, but Nomar was my favorite non-Cub for the longest time. Him being a Cub is one of my favorite Cubs memories, and that will never change. It didn't work out, but it was glorious seeing him in Cubby Blue.
  4. The thing with Tiger though is that while some of these huge shots may be somewhat lucky, he's so amazing at being able to read the speed and slope and break of a green. When he makes those putts, he knows exactly what he's doing. Sure, the ball could bounce a bit on the green, or it could hit some debris and kick off target a few inches, but when Tiger lines himself up for a big putt, if he reads it properly, as he usually does, and it doesn't hit something or get off line, he knows he's going to drain it because he's so good at visualizing it, and he's so ahead of the other players in that regard. Like that eagle on 18. The announcers had no idea why he was set up that way. One of the announcers said "hes aimed a bit left, dont you think?" and the other followed up with "way left." Then, of course, he sunk it. He just sees things out there that no one else can. Now that chip in, that was complete luck and he even admitted it while being interviewed later. But hey, when you're that good you get the shooter's bounce. right. i think the reason he put his head down and just kinda smiled at 17 was because he knew how lucky he'd gotten. the putt at 13 had a great line, but was going well long if the line was off, and the chip on 17 might've been hit a little more than he wanted. but golf is very much a game that's base on "feel", and it's impressive that he might win the whole thing after taking several weeks away because of the knee surgery. i agree. if he wins this thing, I think it'll be a while before we see him again. he doesn't look great out there, and at times he looks like hes in so much pain that it makes me want to cringe. i think he'll probably take the next month off until the open championship.

  6. I respect your opinion, and I hate Bonds too, but I'd never stop liking my favorite TEAM because of one PLAYER. Especially one who would only be here 3 months or so. That's why I think it's ludicrous that you, who obviously has been in love with the team for a long time, would end that because you didn't like one player out of 25.
  7. If anyone didn't get to see his highlights from today, here you go: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p4JI1_iUJRQ
  8. if that happened though, that'd be pretty crazy. i was open to the edmonds signing from the beginning, although i was hesitant because i didnt think he could hit anymore. he's proved me wrong thusfar and i'm glad. i'm definitely a fan and i knew i would be as long as he produced. and, like someone said, he seems like he's having fun. between the tying HR the other day, to the rockies game where he was on second when dero hit the game winning HR, to when he caught a game-ending fly ball awkwardly and looked at fukudome and started cracking up, to joining in on the hip-bump celebration at the end of games, he seems like he's having a great time here, and that makes me like him even more.
  9. i really like this rocco guy. obviously i'm rooting for tiger, but if this guy won it i'd have absolutely no qualms.
  10. And he eagles 18 on a ridiculous putt to take the lead. He's a freak.
  11. Hahahhah oh my god. That chip in on 17 for birdie was ridiculous. My god.
  12. Tiger just eagled that hole... Yeah that putt was just unbelievable.
  13. wow, awful umpiring there. i thought that hit the ground when i saw it live.
  14. Phil Mickelson with a complete meltdown on 13, scoring a 9.
  15. can i? what if i wear a marmol jersey? I thought she already hooked up with you? Or was that some other guy from Mizzou who came down for the game last year? It was me! Hahah is this true? If so, awesome.
