Got my 1st ever birdie today. Drove it into the fairway on a par 4 and pulled out the 56 wedge for the 2nd shot and dropped it about 6 feet from the hole then sunk the putt. Pretty awesome feeling.

I almost ALWAYS wore a cup playing baseball. I played a lot of 3rd and 1st if I wasn't a pitcher and balls have tendencies to take bad hops on you when you aren't playing on the best fields, so I never had any issues. I even wore a cup as a pitcher because I was always afraid of line drives back at me. I actually threw better with a cup than without so every time I pitched, I had my cup on. I've played without a cup probably less than 5 times my entire life.

9.58 is absolutely amazing. That man is a monster.

That was an awesome round to watch Tiger and Yang go at it. Tiger's putting REALLY killed him today, he could have easily won by a few strokes had he sunk a few. I think a LOT of players overjudged the breaks and slopes on the green's because putting was horrible around the board. Singh hit like a 60 footer that was simply amazing though.

Wow, while I was on vacation I TOTALLY forgot about this. We actually got him for nothing? Awesome.

Not sure about anything specific, but baseball-reference has stats for players in low, medium, and high pressure situations. And there are certainly stats for extra innings.

I was drunk in Grand Cayman and in Jamaica. I love low drinking ages.

QUOTE (3E8 @ Aug 7, 2009 -> 11:06 PM) Between '06-'08 Rios averaged about 4.5 wins above replacement which is worth around $18.5 million per year A 4 WARP, if I'm not mistaken, is essentially among the top in the league ever year.

QUOTE (AWhiteSoxinNJ @ Aug 7, 2009 -> 09:54 PM) wrong thread? LOL, ya. Going back and forth between this and the game thread.

Pods will get on and Beckham will win it with a 5-run HR.

Please for the love of God, make them pay. Take advantage.

He's been out of the game for an inning now, but I digress. With good defense behind him, he actually puts together a decent start.

QUOTE (CWSOX45 @ Aug 7, 2009 -> 09:46 PM) Doubt it. The Jays owners are desperate to shed payroll. Don't expect a boatload for Rios. I don't, but judging how his stupidity backfired with all the Halladay stuff, I wouldn't be surprised if they can't find a deal because Toronto actually wants value in return.

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Aug 7, 2009 -> 09:41 PM) We won't have to execute s*** unless Retardi is a complete moron. Which he is...I wouldn't be surprised at all if he asked for Danks and another prospect.

QUOTE (CryptviLL @ Aug 7, 2009 -> 09:38 PM) WOOOOOOOHO! RIOS Nothing is done yet. Still no confirmation it was us, and we still have to execute a trade.

LIVID right now.

QUOTE (southsideirish71 @ Aug 7, 2009 -> 09:34 PM) Slav, you have to make him throw a strike. He isnt going to get 3 over the plate. In that situation you make him get one in the zone, before you attack. You're not going to get a better pitch to hit than the one he swung at. I have no issues with him swinging at it, my issue is that he popped it up.

This team is unbelievable sometimes.

QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 7, 2009 -> 09:33 PM) It's home run or nothing for the 3-4-5 now it seems. What was the count when Thome K'd? 2-2 thanks to CB Bucknor.

QUOTE (southsideirish71 @ Aug 7, 2009 -> 09:32 PM) One of the dumbest ABs by Konerko in years. A guy who cannot throw strikes and he pops up pitch number 2 after he misses by 3 feet. Are you f***ing kidding me. It was a great pitch to hit. Don't blame the pitch selection, blame his inability to do ANYTHING with it.

QUOTE (EvilJester99 @ Aug 7, 2009 -> 09:32 PM) Wow bases loaded and noone out and we won't score a single f***ing run... unreal how the middle of our line up sucks. There's one more out.

Jesus f***ing Christ.

Un-f***ing-believable. The umpiring is horrific this year.
