Well, I totally don't feel ready for the club championship now. I didn't play worth a crap last night. Only hit 1 fairway and 2 greens. About the only thing I did well was chip and putt. I seem to have lost the draw on my drives so I kept missing right. I also hit a few really bad iron shots. Maybe I just got all that out of my system. We shall see...
Retro played very well after the 2nd hole (the first 2 were ugly). He ended up hitting 6 fairways and hit his irons as crisply as I've seen and putted pretty well too. He still shot a 48 to my 43, not sure how that happened.
I've got to figure out a time when I can mow my yard again. I just mowed on Saturday for the first time in nearly 2 months but with all this rain we've had I could have mowed again on Tuesday. And I should have, since I had golf last night, hockey tonight, golf tomorrow night, Saturday, Sunday and Monday. Looks like maybe Tuesday now but it'll be 3 feet high by then. I'll try to get off at noon on Friday and get it done before we go golfing. It's the only chance I'll have.
And then there's the Brewers... I guess this was to be expected with such a young team. They're feeling the heat of a pennant race and not responding well. The pitching staff is getting beaten like a rented mule and the offense only seems capable of hitting a few solo homers each game. Mean time the Cardinals have come alive, like a defending WS champ should and have closed to 3 1/2 games. Some people said I was nuts when I said "don't count the Cards out yet" when they were 8 1/2 back a few weeks ago. Who's nuts now? Brewers are in a must win situation today, with Dave Bush trying to get the first win by a starting pitcher since August 3rd today at 1pm. If there's a silver lining to any of this it's that they're still in 1st and the Cubs truly suck.
Gabe Gross was called up yesterday and Chris Spurling sent down. Look for Gross, who hit .355 in 20 games at Nashville, to be in the starting lineup today. Also, Prince Fielder was suspended for 3 games for his ejection/tirade in Houston Saturday. He has appealed.
Think happy thoughts and have a great Thursday.

The Cards are hacks playing over their heads. I'm not too worried about them.
3.5 games is way way too much to overcome against the Cubs AND Brewers!!
Are you usually this drunk in the middle of the day?
In '95 I watched the Mariners come back from 13 games down to the Angels on September 1st to win the AL West. You can't seriously think 3 1/2 games is too much. By the way, it's 3-0 Cards in the 8th so it'll be 2 1/2 games in about 30 minutes.
Hey why don't you do what most golfers do when their game goes south. Buy some new clubs, flowered pants and a pretty shirt.
I did buy new clubs earlier in the year (irons, hybrid and recently a putter). You need to catch up on the archives! :)
I don't have flowered pants and a pretty shirt however, since I am hetero.
