Random Takes on Golf
TSDMike | June 18, 2009
The worst time of year for sports is upon us. The NBA and NHL playoff years are officially done, and with pro football a couple of months out, we’re left with the annual vortex of sports doldrums – a sportex if you will. Baseball doesn’t get interesting until August, when the pennant races really start to take form.
The US Open is this weekend, but, as usual, Tiger Woods is the only real story there. If Woods isn’t in contention on Sunday, there really isn’t anything else worth watching about it. The Mickelson return is a slightly interesting subplot, but I’ve never liked him very much, so I don’t really care about that. Nor do I root for the underdog just for the sake of doing so. His situation sucks, and I feel for him because I’ve been through something similar. But I’m not going to root for him just because his wife is sick.
