Tiger Has Competition, and Thy Name is Padraig
Golf August 15th. 2009, 6:12pm
Tiger briefly lost the lead on the back nine today at Hazeltine. He hasn’t gone all Frank Francisco yet - perhaps he’s saving it for Sunday. Pop quiz, hot shot: Who has more victories in majors from 2007-2009, Tiger Woods or Padraig Harrington? One has three, the other two.
[Been basically off the internet for the last 24 hours. Yet to see a Mark Sanchez highlight from last night, nor the David Wright beaning today. Catching up on emails and will have a post or two tomorrow.]

Yay! New thread!
David Wright beaning is bad news. He needed some pretty strong smelling salts. Tiger is looking very un-Tiger-like for moving day.

i still dont see your new gravatar. do you see mine?
August 15th, 2009 at 6:27 pm
my last comment from last thread…
Matt Cain drills David Wright in the head with a fastball. Wright looks knocked out.
PTI was talking the other day about a new batting helmet that protects against a 100 MPH ball (instead of current 70 MPH). An informal poll of MLB’ers said they wouldn’t wear the new one because it would make them look like dorks.
Wonder if Wright cares how he would look now?

He doesn’t know how to react when guys stare him in the face and shoot under par. I love Paddy (I’m Irish). Take that Spencer, hating on a 3 time major winner.
How’d you like that 300 yarder from the bunker yesterday? I’d say it was Sergioesque, but he hit the green, and Sergio never does.

No and no.
I deleted my cookies and everything. Works elsewhere. Maybe will take a day. T-Minus 33 mins to BEARS.

mrejr: both yours are new
August 15th, 2009 at 6:28 pm
JPQ- you going to stick around for the Bears/Bills game? My wings are on their way from the delivery guy and I just hooked up a brand new 52 in HDTV Samsung.
Exciting.
August 15th, 2009 at 6:29 pm
replied on the other thread too..
That helmet isn’t out yet though, so it’s not like Wright had a choice or was one of those guys that said he wouldn’t wear it.
But any Major leaguer that chooses to not wear that helmet is a moron. If you get caught to the left of the ear flap it’s curtains.

SC: you sound like my night except I got a Sony-lol
52″ HD is like sex
August 15th, 2009 at 6:34 pm
Ah crap.. you can’t tell what my gravatar is. Need a clearer pic.
August 15th, 2009 at 6:37 pm
your yankee gravatar isnt showing up? that’s a shame.
August 15th, 2009 at 6:39 pm
I will change it to the Yankees once they win the WS this year.
There we go. I went throwback Iowa Hawkeyes.
August 15th, 2009 at 6:41 pm
if i ever meet you i am gonna beat you up until all yankee fandom is out of your mind body and soul and then we will go watch a bear game. sound like fun?
August 15th, 2009 at 6:43 pm
mrejr, I like the zippo idea with Brock.
August 15th, 2009 at 6:49 pm
the man needed something to light his smokes with . would you deny him a lighter?
August 15th, 2009 at 6:51 pm
Matt Cain is a dick. HE drills David Wright in the head, the fans rightfully boo him because he took out their best player then walking off the mound he gestures to them to bring it on. You just hit someone in the head dick how about showing some remorse. Ass. Glad he didn’t get the win today.
By the way the Mets own Brian Wilson..
2.2 IP, 5 runs, 3 ER, 8 hits this season.

World’s full of them. That’s why it takes seat belt laws to get people to wear them.
Many a night I wish I had deleted them instead of tossing them!
August 15th, 2009 at 6:54 pm
you gotta be a prick to throw at a dude’s head. i dont care what team he plays for(even the yankees or red sox)you dont risk killing someone to make some stupid baseball related point. he should be arrested.
August 15th, 2009 at 6:55 pm
I bet that stung.
August 15th, 2009 at 6:58 pm
is the gina fight on regular cable or do you have to pay for it?
August 15th, 2009 at 6:59 pm
tbl: showtime. 1030 your time
August 15th, 2009 at 7:00 pm
The man could fashion a lighter using only a 9-volt battery and a telephone cord.
August 15th, 2009 at 7:01 pm
football time!
August 15th, 2009 at 7:03 pm
shit he just needs to run the bones of his victims together to light one. ok im out folks see you at 930pm god’s time.
August 15th, 2009 at 7:11 pm
dammit. only have hbo and cinemax now. ratones. im sure the highlights will be on youtube by 1050.
August 15th, 2009 at 7:17 pm
Bears come out with 3 straight throws. 3rd and 1 we don’t run? Ron Turner already making me nervous with his new toy, Jay Cutler.
August 15th, 2009 at 7:17 pm
TBL, i was worried today. Rough day or just no time? I expected a EPL post from Duffy at least.
August 15th, 2009 at 7:18 pm
Souvenir, what is your avatar? sorry if it’s been asked already.
August 15th, 2009 at 7:19 pm
Cutler throws his first pick as a Bears.
Memo: Devin Hester is NOT Brandon Marshall. Jump balls are a bad idea.

Interesting that it was Wright JPQ because unlike seemingly every other player Wrigth is actually not an idiot about these things. Via Shysterball.
August 15th, 2009 at 7:21 pm
It looks like this blown up. Old school Iowa Hawkeye.
August 15th, 2009 at 7:22 pm
TBL - watching chicks fight isn’t fun unless they’re doing it in either Jello or mud.
August 15th, 2009 at 7:27 pm
pretty cool. didn’t know you were a hawkeye.
/go spartans.
August 15th, 2009 at 7:33 pm
your Bills gravatar isnt showing up? that’s a shame.
Bangs Cutler looks great! Have a fun season with him
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
August 15th, 2009 at 7:42 pm
I’m blaming Ron Turner for a little bit of this. However, Jay needs to know that throwing jump balls to the WR corps here is a horrible idea.
But in the red zone, why are we throwing to Hester and not to Olsen, Bennett or Clark? Awful play call. Awful.
August 15th, 2009 at 7:43 pm
Paddy has three majors and is still a nobody in TBL’s eyes.
August 15th, 2009 at 7:43 pm
And Lynch may have gotten hurt on that play JPQ. Bad news.
At least he’s missing the first four games of the season anyways.
/chuckles
August 15th, 2009 at 7:46 pm
pwned
August 15th, 2009 at 7:54 pm
And that’s why the phils aren’t repeating

I’m not Mr golf or anything, I’m a true casual fan. But watching Paddy Harrington bomb that thing around like it’s nothing, and then demonstrate zero finesse near the hole, you can see why people don’t know his name. He’ll never make a highlight reel chipping and putting like that, 350 yard 5 metal or not.
August 15th, 2009 at 10:45 pm
FUCKING AWESOME.
im all on the paddy train these last few tourneys.
this kinda thing isn’t uncommon for guys going through swing changes. phil, when he went thru his big one, couldn’t chip or putt for shit (and he still can’t make 3 footers at any course with super fast greens consistently)…they work so hard on the weakest element of their game that the stronger parts suffer.
paddy had great control around the greens because his long game was so weak (relatively). now, he’s BOMBING it, but isn’t as strong in those other areas. it’ll all even out eventually.
