oh ok. i didn't see it on ESPN. got it now

6/18/2009 9:02:47 AM

wanna show the early morning coverage ? hey, buy the rights

how bizzare

6/18/2009 9:02:55 AM

only have one major thing to do today at work, looks like I'll be watching plenty of the stream

6/18/2009 9:14:36 AM

can't get the stream to come up... just sitting on the loading screen. anyone else having this problem?

[Edited on June 18, 2009 at 9:16 AM. Reason : nevermind. it was firefox... working fine in IE]

6/18/2009 9:16:27 AM

nice GD by Tiger on the 5th.

6/18/2009 9:28:59 AM

with the way the press has been playing up to eldrick coming back, if he doesn't win (and miracuously the field does), does this go down as a big choke job?

there is no way he can get this much press about his eminant return to victory, lose, and then have it not be a choke job of mammoth proportions.

not saying he won't win, just asking


that being said, go field.

6/18/2009 10:08:04 AM

it would be a choke job for the media, not tiger. espn et al. brings it on themselves

6/18/2009 10:23:38 AM

^^you just asked a specific question, then explicitly answered your own question, then said, "just asking." Nice.

Isn't that asinine?

Yes, that's asinine.

Not saying it's not asinine, just asking.

don't hate me for calling t-i-double guh-er, eldrick. it's his given name. just like jack nicklaus said, at least let him set the record before you give him the accolades (regarding his attempt to set the all time majors mark .



[Edited on June 18, 2009 at 10:38 AM. Reason : fixed]

i didn't realize calling him tiger was an accolade. that's for the enlightenment

6/18/2009 10:36:19 AM

^^^yeah, i know, my bad. That being said, that one post was idiocy of epic proportion, so I couldn't resist my inclination to point it out.

Play suspended, that sucks.

What the fuck is this statement? Tiger's dad was a military officer so of course his family was rich? WTF? My dad was a military officer too and we were not rich at all. You are a fucking dumb ass.

Tiger got good at golf because he had natural talent at a very young age and his dad seized the opportunity to develop that talent by working with him.

Also your "t-i-single guh-er" is the gayest thing ever written.

Personally, I'd rather see c-a-double mee-yoh or s-e-r-triple gee-ohh come thru this week

6/18/2009 11:32:44 AM

i love how this troll is trying to deny that tiger is the greatest golfer ever

yeah, and MJ wasn't that big of a deal, either. and Joe Montana was a hack.

lol

get 3000 days registered first, than i can take your comments seriously. tiger is not, at this time, the best golfer ever. he doesn't have the most majors, so how can he be considered the best?

6/18/2009 12:18:09 PM

Gonna be a long weekend with the rain... What the hell is up with the Tri-State area this year? It's rained more than I've ever seen this early in the summer!

With the way the course will play, winner will be over par. Of course, that isn't really a stretch considering Tiger was the only player under par in '02 at Bethpage...

He hasn't had the chance to have the longevity of a Nicklaus yet. Up through his age, Tiger has done more in golf than any other golfer in history... is that better?

6/18/2009 12:26:52 PM

there's no need to argue with him, he's obviously a fagtron.

i mean, ti-single guh-er?

lol, and he even fucked it up about 10 posts up.

great job, A.A. Milne!

6/18/2009 12:30:44 PM

stop feeding the troll

6/18/2009 12:39:39 PM

this is the most obvious and one of the worst trolling attempts in ST ive seen in a while. earl was more convincing

6/18/2009 12:43:28 PM

eh, there's no golf on, I want to see his retort

also, I kinda miss Earl

i'd really like to see his commentary on our football team this year

[Edited on June 18, 2009 at 12:45 PM. Reason : .]

I heard that they wont start playing again until after 1:30, has anyone heard any different?

[Edited on June 18, 2009 at 12:56 PM. Reason : asd]

6/18/2009 12:56:16 PM

Looking at the images on ESPN I doubt that they start again today. That place looks like a fucking lake. The USGA will never play lift, clean, and place so I don't see how they would trot them out there in those conditions.

6/18/2009 1:19:45 PM

just got this from the us open live blog - the newest post is on the top

Quote :

"More Rain Mike Davis just came on to say that there is actually more heavy rain on the way. They are going to make a final announcement at 1:45 on whether to continue. Ken Weather Update Mike Davis just informed us that it will be at least until 2 p.m. before players possibly could get out to the practice range to warm up for a resumption of play today. Heavy rain is still expected over the next 45 minutes, but the good news is there's a window this afternoon when golf should be able to resume. The hope is that the morning wave of 78 competitors can complete round one today, with the afternoon wave, which includes Phil Mickelson, completing the first round on Friday. Once the rain does stop, Jim Hyler, the chairman of the Championship Committee, said it would take 30 minutes or so to get the course back into playing condition."

Is this solely Monday regulation finishes or do you also hate the extra 18 playoff?

just wondering...

just flew into Islip, and drove past Bethpage on my way to the rents' house. It was raining like hell, finally starting to let up. It looks promising from some good golf tomorrow, assuming it stays only "cloudy" as said.

6/18/2009 6:05:08 PM

Any TWWers wanna bar it in the city tomorrow night? I'm up here for the Open as well and staying near Times Square

6/18/2009 9:53:15 PM

up early to catch the shuttle in to Bethpage... no rain so far this morning (fingers crossed moving forward)

ALL of the parking that was positioned on one of the other courses at Bethpage is gone, so this should be a cluster fuck.

GO PHIL!

6/19/2009 5:30:00 AM

i have good memories of going to the u.s. open in 99 at pinehurst. what's your live golf watching strategy? do you stake out a hole or follow a group? maybe a little of both?

6/19/2009 6:12:39 AM

HIGH POINT REPRESENT

Drew Weaver just finished at 1 under and is currently 1 off of the lead

6/19/2009 10:34:34 AM

I don't understand why Matt Hill (national champion from NCSU) does not get invited in the field, but this guy from V Tech does. Does anyone know if Hill will receive any invitations to play at Majors this year with amateur status?

6/19/2009 10:39:38 AM

you have to do sufficiently well in qualifying tournaments, right?

6/19/2009 10:48:24 AM

you have to go through qualifiers to get in the field

Matt Hill didn't make it past sectional if I remember correctly

6/19/2009 10:48:34 AM

Tiger shoots a 4-over 74. Not a good finish, but certainly not buried either...

6/19/2009 11:01:16 AM

i was at ruckus the other day and they had espn HD on the TVs, why were there bars on the left and right side of the screen that said espnHD? They had flat panels, shouldn't the HD broadcast fit the screen?

just thinking about that as i was watching the open in HD and it fit the screen

6/19/2009 11:11:22 AM

lol, whatever they were broadcasting wasn't in HD...

6/19/2009 11:14:09 AM

Hey guys I liked the new Star Trek so I went back and watched the old Shatner ones and I noticed a significant degradation in picture quality, whats up with that

6/19/2009 11:27:35 AM

i think we've found the only dude on earth to not know anything about HDTV

6/19/2009 11:30:07 AM

I'm loving Mickelson missing those short ones. I'm not that fond of him and all this dick riding is making me go against him that much more.

Lots of big names starting to pop up on the first page making for some great golf watching
