First hole of her life. First swing on a course. Hole-in-one.: "I didn't know it was that big of a deal,'' she said. "I thought all golfers do this.''

Mud, sweat and beers at Britain's maddest football match: Category: Soccer/Running of the Bulls/Bunol Tomato Fight "The ball can go anywhere. Last night it went through a pub, in the front door and out the back. "There's an honour to playing this game. People train from Christmas to get ready. It's the heritage of Derbyshire. We have to fight all the time to keep it going. "It makes you proud to be British."

The RB you speak of is named Arian Foster. Learn his name, it'll be important in the future.

I thought it was a pretty poorly played match on both sides. That final score by USA was awfully pretty though

Jeter did that in 2361 games - that's 1.27 hits per game - in 5th place behind Cobb (1.38), Nap Lajoie (1.31), Tris Speaker (1.29), and Tony Gwynn (1.29). On this list Pete Rose is 13th at 1.19. That's pretty damned good.

Not a fan of losing the divisions. And especially not a fan of Houston going AL - HATE the DH.

If he could just hit a damned free throw he'd probably rank among the best ever.

Then there's the 2005 Astros.
20-32 after 6/1/5 - made it to the World Series.

Couldn't help but notice that the -10 logjam didn't end until Tiger finished 18. Might not mean anything, but interesting to me. I think he's back.

I liked the Astros' stripes - and the A's green and yellow

The two teams shouldn't have played each other. To me, that's the end of it.

< Runners use the bags as stops to help stand up to determine what to do next after a slide. If sunk in may well slide right by the bag... I'm not sure I like that idea.

If the ball crosses the goalline in control of the ball carrier, who is in bounds, it is a touchdown. What happens after that point in time should be immaterial. Why would it be different for receivers than for backs? I don't care for the recent "complete the move" rulings.

I don't remember more than a couple minutes of 1985 myself. That was a long damned time ago. And I don't think I was hit in the head once that year.

I was surprised to see Ichiro was already 37 years old. What an awesome hitter. I did a look vs Pete Rose:
First ten years: Rose 1.25 hits per game; Ichiro 1.41 hits per game.
But Ichiro didn't start MLB until he was 27, so Rose vs Ichiro from 27-37 years of age:
Rose 1.3 hits per game; Ichiro, again, 1.41 hits per game.
Beyond that, Rose got 2 Gold Gloves vs 10 in a row for Ichiro.
All for the same slow market team.

Again, I don't get the Dallas games' odds. They're gonna lose.
And there's no way Detroit is favored over Washington - we'll see.

Tiger withdraws from tournament
JJ, how many times since 1997 has Tiger changed his swing? At least four, right?
