Looking like DeChambeau, Reed, and Fowler are going to the LIV.

That’s an easy call…. Kendall Rogers should know better…. The runner is not running in the running lane.

The fielder releases the ball from foul territory and throws it over the runners head. I believe the Maryland runner veered left because the first basemen was drifting toward foul territory to field a throw that he thought would be coming from the right side of the runner. The runner can’t obstruct a throw. That’s the rule. I believe he went inside because the fielder redirected him. Easy call? At best, just a no call. Crap rule. Then base is in fair territory but runner is expected to run in foul territory.

One of my favorite Mr. Bean episodes is when he’s on the beach and he realized he forgot to change into his swim trunks. He decides to discretely change at the beach because a fellow beach patron is there. He goes to great lengths to not expose himself. Comically gets twisted up in his pants. He finally gets it on and the patron, who turns out is blind, gets up and walks away.

If they don't play tour events..then they won't qualify for majors...unless the tours cave and allow them to play tour events while not fulfilling tour obligations. I hate that f'n DJ and f'n Reed won the Masters because that will get them in there.

You guys just kissed the rest of a meaningful career goodbye..but hey you got even more money that you don't need..so you got that going for you

Have fun playing mickey mouse gimmick golf...idiots.

 

[Jack Burton]

I hope they never let him play another major. The stinking Saudis and Norman are f'n everything up. The format is a f'n joke. I hate them for doung this, and I hope they choke on it and it burns to the f'n ground.

It's f'n stupid ass garbage...period.

You are the light of the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hidden.

Yeah....because me being salty about something that pisses me off disqualifies everything I do and sacrifice for others.

Screw you.

He never went into the running lane at all….. the rule doesn’t take into consideration where the throw is coming from…. It’s obstruction even without contact bc the pitcher had to change his throw bc the runner was out of the running lane…..we get mad at umps all the time but this guy 100% called it based on rule book…. That’s all you can expect from umps…. Does it suck? Sure, but if you don’t like it then change the rule.

From my experience, batters are very often not in the running lane. They get called on out 100% of the time on errant throws from the catcher.. It is a tale as old as time and a very consistently enforced rule, IMO.

Very ironic and I had many philosophical discussions with my grandfather about medicine (his philosophy) vs. therapy (my philosophy) from a pre-teen on. Interesting to note that my grandfather analyzed the famous poet Ezra Pound while he was still practicing in D.C. Psychiatry was very primitive until the 1980's and there were a lot of misguided practices but he was a very respected member of his field and was one of the first doctors in the 50's to treat black people in East TN and he did volunteer work every year in Middlesboro, KY with former coal miners. He was a great man and president of the AMA in TN for a while. He was very humble and I didn't learn about a lot of his accomplishments until his funeral but I always knew that he was v÷ry respected in the community.

It was very confusing and at times embarrassing for me as a child to have a mentally ill mother. She would hallucinate and act out at home, in public and at school functions or in front of my friends and their families. She was very paranoid and thought I wanted other mothers and even women on TV to be my mother and would go into a rage and lash out at me and sometimes get physically violent until I was big enough to stop her around 9-10 years old. There's no way in today's society that I would have been allowed to be raised by her. From a young age I often had to be the responsible adult while she threw hysterical tantrums like a child. It did help me to be very patient and understanding of others so some good came of it. I pitied both of my parents for all they went through....including barbaric electric shock therapy. They were both very high IQ late teens in college and had bright futures before their illness hit. Mother was getting her masters in teaching Spanish from UT and my father was in UNC's law school when it hit him.

I was always told as a child that my mom and dad "went crazy" due to drugs, specifically pot and I would face the same fate if I ever did drugs. That had the opposite of the intended effect on me and I did anything I could get my hands on as a teen. That included large amounts of LSD, mushrooms, other chemical psychedelics and smoking pot regularly until my late 20's and occasionally into my early 30's. I was on a mission to prove the strength of my mind and my grip on reality.

My grandmother was a saint in how she treated me but was harshly judgemental toward her daughters, especially about premarital sex. I believe that her harsh judgement, 'Christian" guilt and my mother's lack of coping skills led to her mental breakdown in college along with her genetic predisposition and several traumatic experiences such as rape, abortion of an unwanted pregnancy and a miscarriage. She was also given LSD and told it was a THC tablet and slipped PCP another time. I know less about the details surrounding my father but I do know a cgeating fiancée played a part.

I am careful to raise my children to love themselves, know they will always have my support and know that no situation is so bad that it can't be gotten over/past. I feel these are some of the keys to good mental health along with the ability to honestly self evaluate and improve. I've had a strange life at times but I've always known myself, genuinely liked who I am as a person and never let stress overwhelm me. If I can instill these traits in my kids then the mess of my short-lived childhood was worth it.

Luckily, my mom has somewhat calmed down in her old age. My father died at a mental home in his 50's while having lived the past 30+ years in a fantasy world inside his own mind. I never resented him and we had a few lucid conversations over the years but they would only last minutes before he slipped back into fantasy land. He did get to meet his grandson (my son) and my wife shortly before he died. He looked like a 70 year old man due to the strong anti-psychotic meds he was on but he was happy for a brief moment when meeting them. Sorry for the very long answer but I did try to abbreviate as much as possible while giving the overall picture mixed with what my parent's tragic lives have taught me about life, mental health and parenting.

No need to apologize! Very cool story even if parts are kinda sad.

I use to get mad and say more as a coach… I will still state when they screw up but I just say a little bit and let it go…. Parents…. Coaches… players need to calm down bc umps are getting worse and worse bc it is harder to get people that want to do it.

Oh boy, here we go. The PGA isn't going to look the same after more of the faces of PGA leave. Hate to see Ricky go. Not surprised about DeChambeau he walks to a beat of a different drum and Reed has had problem with stretching some rules sometimes. lol Then you think of the players from Europe that they will continue to pull. All these guys already make more money than they will ever spend, their children will ever spend and their grandchildren will ever spend. lol

Disagree about the pitchers need to change the his throw. But we’ll agree everywhere else.

You are certainly worked up over this.

I believe a "par for the course" works here on multiple levels.

Well played. Getting worked up is OK until it gets chippy. Gets a little rough after that.

 

[SoilVol]

Yeah....because me being salty about something that pisses me off disqualifies everything I do and sacrifice for others.

Screw you.

No, it's not because you're being salty. It's because you're acting like a Karen and are a grown man throwing a toddler tantrum over golfers not doing what you want them to do.

And you want them to rot in hell for it... the philospher and poet Morgan Wallen once said, "I don't think Jesus done it that way."

 

[Orange Studs]

Well played. Getting worked up is OK until it gets chippy. Gets a little rough after that.

And then goes out of bounds and then plenty and possibly a stroke could occur.

Napier sent the No. 8 rated prospect off with an FU (all the time)
read this article….. Napier has a painting hanging at Florida that says “In Napier we trust” …… I have a feeling this guy will crash and burn.

 

[VolsDoc81TX]

Waited till after childhood...smart move.

Married a Catholic lady. Decided a one religion household was the right was to go…

 

[VolsDoc81TX]

I raised a pit bull for about 6 months several years ago(showed up at my house/owner finally claimed her….it was like you described…. Very sweet and never had any issues at all with it. That being said the story of the elderly woman from maryville that had raised two from pups that attacked her when she started up a lawnmower….. my friend that had his arm bit in two…. Numerous other stories out there…. They are just too strong and powerful, imo…. Now PIt mixes probably aren’t as dangerous depending on what they are mixed with…

Chihuahua-pit mixes are like piranha if you find enough of them…

You are correct it’s hard to get people that want to put up with the scrutiny and social media back lash towards them and their families. As much money as the Sec has they should have full time trained officials.
