  1. When I was in FL and still going to school, ie no kids, I played twice a week year 'round and got down to an 8 handicap. I haven't touched my sticks in two years, and it's been 5 since I played regularly. Getting a smooth putting stroke is all about practice, and the 10 minutes you spend on the putting green before your round, if you even do that, isn't enough. I'd suggest killing time by putting in your living room (if it's got carpet). You don't need a cup. Put a quarter on the floor, or try to hit a table leg. Everyone's stroke is different in terms of what they feel comfortable with. For me, a slow take away produced a more steady approach to the ball. For some, a short take away and acceleration through the ball produces better results. It's all about what you feel comfortable with. I've got to say, I'm looking forward to hitting the range once I get done with stuff at the house. In FL, the soil is so sandy and usually soft from the constant rain that you'd get no roll on your drive. At least, I wouldn't because I generate a lot of clubhead speed, thus more backspin and loft. I'd carry 285 on average with my driver and sometimes the ball would check in the fairway. From what I've heard about Texas golf, the fairways are hard and you get prodigious roll. Giddy up.
  2. Have you been the best in the world twice in the last 5 years at anything? If you say yes, and you aren't referring to douchebaggery, you are lying.
  3. I'm glad you agree. Try again when you feel up to real discussion.
  4. Why ask the question when it's clear you've already assigned me a response? You know what's really easy? Strawmen to argue against, and you just did it.
  5. Wrong is wrong, hindsight be damned. When your starter puts up a QS, and he's done it in under 100 pitches, you give him another inning, especially when the BP has tossed 40+ innings in the last week.
  6. I don't know about his current GF, of whom you guys are referring to, but I do know this. His adam's apple was smaller than the stripper in Toronto's was.
  7. And....how the Sox play will determine if they win the WC.
  8. It may be less risky in terms of success rate, but your misses can be pretty strong if one does pan out. Look at the Beckett trade. He's been great in some stretches over the time the Sox have had him, and the throw-in, Lowell has provided good to great play at 3B (until this recent stretch). However, Hanley Ramirez has been an MVP caliber player for the entire duration of his time in FLA. They got something good in that deal, but they paid dearly for it.
  9. Sorry, I meant if Ortiz's story was true.
  10. ORS = Stahlworth Scramble Dues will be in route sometime this week.
  11. Put the game on "Difficult" setting next time.
  12. Not that you would ever deign to try and use brooksbaseball.net, nor even understand how to, but if you were to happen to try and look at today's game, you'd see a good "framer" like Varitek has little control over what gets called what. Just so you know.
  13. Framing, dipshit.

  15. This is just a restatement of the contradiction I'm trying to get you to acknowledge. Look at what you are saying. Good pitchers are good regardless of the catcher, bad pitchers are bad. In other words, it's about the pitcher, which is the point you were arguing against with TheKilo.
  16. Half-empty type, right? You know, they could score.
  17. What's to know? You frequent a site where a large majority of the community cares little about what you think and mocks you incessantly. Yet, you still return and put up with it because the childish glee you get out of pissing in the punch bowl is too compelling to ignore. Am I missing something?
  18. Tekian squander there by the Steve Irwin killers.
