  1. A couple of things: -You probably hit too many balls. Think about it, you probably played 2-2 1/2 round of golf in that bucket of balls. You either got tired, which is why you started hitting poorly, or you got too comfortable in your good swings an inadvertently or subconsciously changed your swing -Golf is hard and your a beginner. Of course you’re gonna hit shitty shots in 250 tries -I’ve been playing golf a long time though not regularly. Still haven’t felt comfortable hitting hybrids. I prefer3-6 irons any day of the week to a hybrid -Going to the range is great as it helps muscle memory. And that’s great for training “habit” swings/mechanics. But it can also be muscle memory for bad mechanics. -Try this: go to a par 3 or a short 9-hole and take a putter, a wedge and low iron, say a 3 or 5. Don’t use any other clubs regardless of the distance of the hole. Use those three clubs only. If a par 3 is too long, pretend it’s a par 5 and you’re laying up, splitting the distance and go for the green in three. Or look to place your shot in a certain area for your next shot onto to the green. You’ll accomplish the same muscle memory training you do at a range, only you’re on a course. And you won’t be tempted to rush through a basket of balls because your hitting, then walking to your ball, then thinking about your shot, and then hitting again. Anyway, golf is awesome and I wish I had more time to play. Someday.

  3. worth watching just to see the reaction from phelps ' George Frazier-esque!
  4. 27th out is always the toughest. Unless the cobs are batting.
  5. I think Benetti is okay. But just as I thought Hawk turned Stone into a laughing stock, I think Stone now brings down Benetti. Stone has become a complete uninteresting homer of an analyst.
  6. Rizzo with some solid contact today nothing to show for it.
  7. Small sample size, but the Cubs can't hit....this season.
  8. SIX pitch inning for a guy that struggles to throw strikes! LOLOL
  9. I'd give Javy some time off. Looks like he may be taking his ABs to the field.
  10. So let's just say Laz Diaz called Encarnacion safe there. He'd be out for running into RF, right?
  11. Wonder if Sean Marshall has anything left in the tank. Couldn't be worse than a couple of the stiffs down in the bullpen.
  12. Maybe the issue isn't who the Cubs should go after, but rather, who on the roster would other teams want?
  13. And then they have to try to hit Gio the next day. Sheesh! In the three game series, which will be a higher number: number of runs scored in the series or number of strikeouts in a single game?
  14. If you're gonna call a homerun during an apology for using a slur on air, at least have some balls and put a little life into the call. C'mon man, Nicky C just went yard!
  15. Nope. He's been posting pretty regularly at accuweathr.com and weatherunderground.net
  16. Imagine if Maddon were managing, there was no DH, and no 3 batter rule. By my estimations, the game would be in the 6 inning still.
  17. This is funny. When I was a kid, I always wondered why, if baseball managers and coaches wear the baseball uniform, why football coaches didn't "pad up".
