Sports Recap

Not much going on during the beginning of the lazy days of summer...so just some quick comments on some sports...

The US Open golf tournament was this past week. I was able to watch almost all of this tournament (thanks to DVR) and it was quite entertaining. If Tiger Woods could have drained some of his easy birdie attempts on Saturday, he may be the one hoisting the trophy up. Instead though, it was Angel Cabrera (sp?) and cigarette smoking, non-english speaking Argentinian. I did like watching him play because he did not seem like your typical pro. I think his 'preshot routine' involved him grabbing his club, taking a practice swing and then strike the ball, very quick and seemed as if a person would do this rather than start second-guessing yourself, which might be the secret to his success.

Kobe Bryant is back asking for a trade again. Not sure how long this thought will last with him this time...

And wasn't it just a week or 2 ago when all you heard on ESPN, regarding baseball, was that the Yankees are done. The Yankees have no chance to make it to the playoffs...blah, blah, blah. I was thinking to myself that the season isn't even 1/2 over and the Yankees would be eliminated? No, that can't be? And I really don't give a rat's ass about the Yankees, but seemed improbable because the Yankees are the epitome of a team that buys its championships in a sport that will let you. Checking the standings today, the Yanks are 8 back for their division and 4 games back for the wild card...just another prime example of how the sports media is more about hype than fact.
