AL / NL MVP Reminder

I would like to take this time to mention that the MVP is the person who has done the MOST for their team.

That said, I encourage voters to pay particular attention to Manny Ramirez as he has been the catalyst in the success of the Dodgers.  No he hasn’t played the whole season there, but I suggest you get over that detail.

More Tiger-less Golf

The Ryder Cup is being played at Valhalla (where Vikings go to die, according to my stint in summer camp as an adolescent) and Tiger is not part of the pairs. 

It seems like everything is going okay for now, but I can honestly say that the lay-fan will not be watching this until the final day.

And I still find it odd that Rocco Mediate was not invited to participate; actually I find it to be similar to being the one guy who definately should be on the A-list to attend, but somehow gets left off the list because his competitor cannot get over themselves.

I wish Tiger well as he continues to rehab his knee & make lil’ Tigers…

 

Update: The US actually leads at the end of day 1!  WOW!
