Don’t forget about teachers on summer vacation. I’m at home watching the golf playoff right now. Man, this is relaxing. It doesn’t get any better than this.

I’m on board with Gilbert’s 18 hold playoff take. Both players (playas) are given the same opportunity to prepare. To me, it’s the best judge of who deserves to win. And, I am currently watching it on usopen.com.

Two of my own thoughts:

The 18 hole playoff is not the ideal situation for the fans, but it eliminates excuses for the players since you have 18 holes to state your case instead of just one where a guy might get "lucky". In the end, it's just a tradition.

And tennis isn't my sport, but Nadal can't win Wimbledon because he can't beat Federer on grass. Sorry.

there is no bandwagon…I’ll watch the Tigers whether they win or lose…but I wasn’t convinced before the season started that they were a playoff team, and nothing has changed…

Bobby Meacham, the Yankees 3rd base coach, should be blamed for CM Wang hurting his foot. Poor decision waving the pitcher home in a 5-0 game on a base hit to RF.

After all, rounding the bases at full speed is much more grueling than standing in line at Subway. Ah burn.

By the way, don't wait until the Tigers are one game out of first until you jump back on the bandwagon.
