2009 PGA Championship Preview

Its the final major of the year. It's the one we care the least about. It's the one where the random player is more likely to win. So what's going to happen this weekend? The expected and boring of course.

4 People to Watch to Contend

Obvious is Obvious- The Titties - The Titties is back and will be fighting for his wife and his mother, I'm sure both would very much appreciate having this big ass trophy in the middle of their living room.

Mr. Pretty Pants - Ian Poulter - Mr. Pretty Pants sucked a big fat long one during the Open Championship. This annoyed me as his pants were especially pretty for the event.

Spiderman - Camilo Villegas - Spiderman let me down a bit in the Open Championship after a big first round, but he will be in full stride this weekend with his random hats and tight pants and Columbian cocaine induced swagger.

The Youngster - Sean O'Hair - The PGA Championship seems to be the place that a youngster known by those who follow golf but not by those who don't can rise up and win. To me Sean O'Hair could be that guy this weekend. He hasn't been playing too well of late but now's the time to bring forth the pain.

3 People Who Might Surpisingly Miss the Cut

Masters to PGA Fail - Angel Cabrera - There's a theme in this 3 man cut rotation. See if you can pick it up. Mr. Cabrera has been cut in three of the last 4 PGA Championships he's played in.

US Open to PGA Fail - Lucas Glover - Lucas Glover's best ever finish at the PGA Championship is 46th. That's not exactly a terrific track record.

British to PGA Fail- Stewart Cink - Mr. Cink may have just improbably one the Open Championship but before that he had a three straight major cut streak which started at last years PGA Championship.

2 People to Root For this Weekend

The Fat Man - John Daly - Come on you know rooting for John Daly is fun. You know looking at his pants are hilarious. Imagine if somehow he puts together three solid rounds and is in contention on sunday. You know you would want to watch him.

The Local CT Boy- JJ Henry - Mr. Henry has had an ok and under the radar year this season. If he was able to win a major title it would be pretty cool for the local area, so go JJ>

1 Winner

Tigger Woo- A Year with no majors for Tiger? Come on. He's coming off back to back wins. He's obviously playing extremely well. Why would you really pick anybody else?

Numbers On Steroids: Mickey Mantle

Numbers on Steroids is a look at baseball players during the 90s to see if anything screams out at you. This week it's throwing a curve ball and looking at All Time Great Yankees. Players that we know did not take steroids to see if this gives a defense to any of the players 'convicted' by Numbers on Steroids. Time to look at my dad's favorite athlete of all time, Mickey Mantle. Averages Say: What's with the mysterious dip at 27 and then the uptick? At Bats Per Home Run Says: That's a mighty jump from 22 to 24 Explaining As If It Was the 90s If you take a look at the numbers there are two time frames which in the 1990s would be questioned. First would be the incredible leap he took from his first year in the big leagues to his first MVP season in 1956. His batting average jumped 50 points. His slugging percentage jumped 90 points and he hit 15 more homers than his previous high. This wouldn't merrit a conviction nowadays though because the young age he...

Guest Post: Thoughts on Sabathia Signing

I asked Grutt what his thoughts were on the Sabathia signing and I thought his response pretty much nailed it. So here it is. I don’t know. Every year I get a little more disenchanted with baseball. Yea, it’s great we signed the top pitching free agent. But we were supposed to. No team was even in the ballpark of the Yankees offer yet they still needed to jump from the already ridiculous price of $140 million to $160 million to close the deal. Now I hear we are going to sign more pitchers who will also get large contracts and the position player gaps are still glaring. Each new, large contract just adds to the feeling that the Yanks are supposed to win it all. “I think we have a good chance this year.” That is a lost feeling. If they don’t win I’ll wonder why, like there has to be some other reason besides that it’s a sport you can never predict how things will work out and some years just aren’t yours to be won. If they win I will be pleasantly smug. It gets a little more...
