PGA TOUR What It Means: June 19, 2011 — US Open
Posted on 19 Jun 2011 by Jeremy Schilling.
What else can you say about Rory McIlroy, as he starts this week's What It Means: 1) Rory conquered his demons from Augusta, establishing or tying 12 different US Open records this week, finished at -16 and winning the United States Open by 8 shots. He dominated in every way possible and had every facet of his game working to perfection. He had this tournament won on FRIDAY, and never looked ba...

Indians Regain Division Lead. Pronk Finally Healthy
Posted on 19 Jun 2011 by Bradley Ross.
The Indians had a tumultuous week, but things may not be all that bad. They lost the division lead, but since have gone on a 3 game winning streak to regain the lead. The week started off with losing 3 out of 4 to the Yankees. Carmona and Tomlin continued their slumps against the Yankees and combined for a 12.00 ERA over their 2 starts. The bullpen also was somewhat shaky during these few...

Braves get a win against Texas
Posted on 19 Jun 2011 by John Morgo.
So far, in this nine-game homestand, the Braves followed the same routine. Lose the first two, win the third. That happened with the Mets, and it happened with the Rangers, as Atlanta sent Texas home with a 4-2 victory. Jair Jurrjens got his ninth win of the same, and the bullpen held it together for Craig Kimbrel to post his 17th save. The homestand wraps up with a three-game set with Toronto,...

How Sweep It Is
Posted on 19 Jun 2011 by Chris Tolbert.
Well, the Giants faced an excellent pitching staff in the Athletics and it clearly showed the weaknesses in the Giants lineup. Here's the stat of the weekend, I was listening to KNBR and a listener mentioned the Giants took only 119 pitches in the game in which Lincecum pitched, and the A's made him throw 113 pitches in six innings. The Giants at the start of today's game had an OBP of only...

4 “Benchwarmers” the Philadelphia Phillies Should Take a Look At
Posted on 19 Jun 2011 by Adrian Fedkiw.
Just like Matt Stairs stated in his press conference after his moon shot in Game 4 of the 2008 NLCS, he was just looking to get his “ass-hammered.” In other words, he was looking for a slap in the behind to signify that he did something good. In 2008, Greg Dobbs was an important piece to the Phillies World Series run. He hit over .300 that season. Pinch-hitting benchwarmer Matt Sta...

Posted on 19 Jun 2011 by Winthrop Cooke.
With Rory McIroy on the brink of his first major championship victory at the 2011 US Open, Chubby Chandler is also on the cusp of managing the 2nd major championship golfer this year, the other being Charl Schwartzel at the 2011 Masters. Go back another year to the 2010 Open Championship and Louis Oosthuizen was managed by Chubby as well. That’s right folks, 3 out of the last 4 major cham...

NBA Gods Mad About Miami
Posted on 19 Jun 2011 by Steven Keys.
It was a 1980 movie titled The Gods Must Be Crazy. Set in Africa, it told the story of a lone Coke bottle falling from a plane into the possession of a bushman (Xi) who believed it had been sent by God (Wikipedia). Though written as light-hearted comedy, who’s to say The Creator doesn’t at times work in such mysterious, subtle ways as a soda bottle dropping from the sky? Following that li...

College Baseball’s Lack Of Public Appeal
Posted on 19 Jun 2011 by Michael Waterloo.
When people discuss the most popular sport in America, it always comes down to baseball and football. Baseball is known as “America's pastime” and was at one time unquestionably the biggest sport around. As the years have come and gone however, the NFL has taken over that distinction in most onlookers’ eyes. While the debate can still be made that professional baseball is still up t...

Have the Angels Met their match?
Posted on 19 Jun 2011 by Bill Mahoney.
I actually thought the Angels would sweep the Mets. I am actually not a very bright guy. With Joel Pineiro, Dan Haren and Tyler Chatwood pitching in the 3 games, I shot for the moon. I missed. The Halos looked pretty good on Friday, hitting around Chris Capuano on their way to a 4-3 victory. I interviewed Capuano when he pitched for the Brewers once upon a time. He is Graduate of Duke Universi...
