Busy, enjoying a five game lead as we head into the last month of the season.
Actually, I was a the Deutsche Bank for day two. BTW, I am watching Vijay warm up and go through his practice routine. He is working on Single Left Wirist Action Start Up, but with Angled Hinging (10-18-C-2). I am thinking to myself, what the heck is he doing. He is Loading for Hitting; made no sense as he is a Swinger.
I am standing on the back of the eleventh green a par 3, 231 yards, when Tiger's group comes to the tee with Mickelson and Singh. Vijay is third to hit. He dead shanks an iron into the woods fifty yards off the tee. It hits a tree 20-30 feet in the woods and bounced straight left back into the middle of the fairway 100 yards short of the green. Boys, these guys are good!
Did you see the shot Eldrick hit out of the fairway bunker on 18??? Spoooookie good. They all kinda struggled.
In a field of 116 of the best golfers in the world, Brian Gay today at the Deutsche Bank Championship played his last eleven holes in one-under-par and made the cut -- on the number -- at +1.
Does anybody else out there think this game is hard...
Bucky Dent? Bucky Dent? I think I remember him. Last time I think I saw him he was throwing out the ceremonial first pitch of the seventh game of the 2004 ALCS in Yankee Stadium. If memory serves, the Bombers were up on the Red Sox three games to none in that series. Remind me, how did that work out for them?

I don't recall. 19-8 and it went dark. I'll google it.
You still need to win a pennant sometime!
I still support diversity within the LBG community.
The mother of all such moments will always remain what happened on October 2, 1978 "When I hit the ball," Bucky Dent recalled, "I knew that I had hit it high enough to hit the wall. But there were shadows on the net behind the wall and I didn't see the ball land there. I didn't know I had hit a homer until I saw the umpire at first signaling home run with his hand. I couldn't believe it."
Neither could the Red Sox. Don Zimmer, then Boston's skipper, changed the Yankee shortstop's name to "Bucky F_____g Dent." Red Sox fans had even more salty phrases.
Dent stepped in. Just hoping to make contact, the 5'-9" Yankee peered out at Torrez, the 6'-5" Red Sox pitcher. The two were locked in, locked up.
Dent fouled the second pitch off his foot. The count was one and one. There was a brief delay as the Yankees trainer tended to Dent. Mickey Rivers, the on-deck-batter, pointed out that there was a crack in the handsome infielder's bat. Dent borrowed a bat from Rivers.
All set, Dent swung at the next pitch; the ball cleared the infield heading out to the left field wall. The wind and destiny moved the ball higher to its date with the Green Monster.
"Deep to left!" Bill White, Yankees broadcaster shouted, "Yastrzemski will not get it!" Yaz backed up. He had been in this position before. But he knew it was hopeless. The ball sailed into the 23-foot net above the Green Monster, the 37-foot wall in left field. Three run home run!

Only to be overshaddowed by the Biggest Playoff Collapse in baseball history...the 2004 New York Yankees . Hey, you brought it up, not me.

Now back to our regularly scheduled program, again. Some Yankee fans just don't get it.
Nice finish by Phil on #18. That rough behind the green is as thick as any U. S. Open rough.

Can't believe the shot did not make the highlights reel. Anyway its can be seen again. Go to tigerwoods.com, Gallery->Videos. Click Deutsche Bank to the right. Then first round. There it is. A wild cut (or intentional slice) from the fairway bunker up to the green. I'd say a 40-yard bend. Unfortunately the resolution is not well matched with the ball size. Tiger needs a new video section. Who knows. Maybe he'd sign a Green Master + Webmaster package deal from LBG?

Right. BTW I could not even tell what baseball is.
