Like a Glove(r)
Lucas Glover took home the victory at the US Open at Bethpage Black on Monday. He finished with a two shot lead over David Duval, Phil Mickelson and Ricky
“don’t call me Jason” Barnes. A few things of interest for the Open – first off Tiger really was not a factor so that automatically makes golf twice as boring. Second the weekend was slowed to a crawl due to the rain, the scheduling mess made for horrible coverage on NBC (CBS FOR LIFE) because no one ever knew what round each guy was. Finally David Duval has really let himself go; someone needs to introduce that guy to a salad and possibly Crossfit.
Chicago Cross Town Classic
The Cubs and Sox kicked off their annual 6 game set last week. As with many things this summer the first game was rained out. From there the two teams managed to split the two game set and will continue their series this week at the Cell. Okay every year these teams split, can we just give each team 3 wins and call it a series? Sox fans are tired of douche bag Cub fans and Cub fans are tired of Sox fans walking around with an undeserved sense of accomplishment.
Cubs celebrate their walk-off win against the White Sox on Thursday
NBA Draft Heats Up
Yawns…the only two players worth a crap right now are Blake Griffin and Pure Face Ricky Rubio. Yes your favorite team should trade out of this draft and clear cap space for 2010.
Sosa Tests Positive
Okay, so this comes as a shock to precisely no one but it was revealed that Sammy Sosa tested positive for PEDs back in 2003. Wow big shock, huh? My
Biesboul bieeen berry berry goooo to me
problem with this is that Sosa’s name comes off the list of 104 names of player to tested positive during the 2003 season, this test was supposed to be anonymous just so MLB could get a better idea of how many guys were juicing. Now that two of the 104 names are out (A-Rod and Sosa) shouldn’t we just release the rest of them? If not then STOP RELEASING NAMES!
Pretty good post. I just stumbled upon your blog and wanted to say

I’ll be subscribing to your feed and I hope you write again soon!
You forgot the Confederations Cup (soccer).
I know soccer isn’t popular, but I bring it up for 2 reasons.
1) USA moved on to the Semifinals by the flukiest alignment of planets. They beat Egypt 3-0 and Brazil beat Italy 3-0. Which is exactly what they needed to have happen.
2) The Egyptian team, after beating Italy 1-0 earlier in the week, claimed to have been robbed by prostitutes. Further investigation shows that when you hire a prostitute and she takes your money, it is not robbery, but rather a business transaction.
