Tiger Woods: Golf is My Job

The Barclays tournament this weekend will have its share of super stars. One super star will hit the course at 7:10 AM on Thursday morning attracts attention from many directions. Since he is the first to tee off, he is currently listed as number one which several members of the media found amusing. However, Tiger Woods apparently wasn’t near as amused, he has a lot on his mind and it’s not all golf.

Elin and Tiger’s divorce was finalized and Elin spoke to People Magazine in what she says will be her only interview regarding their marriage. Since he is a bit more accustom to having the media in his face, no one should have been surprised at how well he conducted himself in an interview earlier. The media were asking him question after question regarding his marriage and he continued to attempt to move the conversation to golf. One reporter asked Tiger Woods repeatedly if he still loved Elin.

The man had clearly explained that he felt the grief that Elin describes in the interview and that their children are his number one priority. Yet, again, the reporter asked him if he still loved Elin and he answered her at least three times that the most important issue right now is the children. The golfer looked relieved when someone questioned him about his new swing coach while others continued to question his presence on the course with his personal life in shambles. Tiger Woods articulated his thoughts well by explaining that golf is his job and he doesn’t understand why anyone thinks he would be anywhere else.

MLB  |  May 17
Milwaukee Brewers vs. Houston Astros		 Milwaukee Brewers
-141  at  5DIMES		 > 11h.
With a day off on Wednesday in MLB we look to get back on a hot streak as we are still up big on the season. Thursday we have a total of nine pitchers with ERA's under 3.00 over their last three starts combined and a total of five pitchers with ERA's over 6.00 over their last three combined starts. There was one match up that stuck out and we marked them down as our POD.

Mark the Brewers Down! ( -140 2.5* FREE PLAY )
For whatever reason Shaun Marcum has loved to pitch on the road as he has an ERA of 3.20 over the last three years on the road. That's much better than his home record and he's back at it again with a 2.77 ERA this year. He's been great of late posting a 1.80 ERA, but the Brewers lost 2 of 3. He should be motivated to keep that up so he can get a W and the Astros are the team to do it against. He's got a 1.80 ERA over 3 starts vs. the Astros who carry just a .637 OPS in 73 AB vs. Marcum. A few weeks ago I'd be on the Astros, but they are starting to come back to earth as they are now 24th with a .686 OPS vs. RHP while the Brewers are 8th with a .737 OPS vs. LHP.

The Brewers are 8th and they face J.A. Happ who they have dominated. Happ and the Astros are 10-30 in their last 40 with Happ on the mound. He's really not the player they thought he'd be when they traded Roy Oswalt for him. Happ has a 5.40 ERA at home right now and the Brewers have a 1.139 OPS over 80 AB in their careers vs. Happ who carries a 6.08 ERA over the last three years vs. the Brewers. Brewers are 18-7 in their last 25 after Wednesday's loss to the Astros and are 47-17 in their last 64 vs. a losing team. Mark down the Brewers as a victory for Thursday.

Notable Hot Starters:
R.A. Dickey (2-1, 1.15 WHIP, 2.70 ERA)
Matt Cain (2-1, 0.90 WHIP, 2.14 ERA)
James McDonals (2-1, 1.05 WHIP, 2.05 ERA)
Brandon Beachy (2-1, 0.93 WHIP, 2.33 ERA)
Edinson Volquez (3-0, 1.20 WHIP, 1.47 ERA)
Doug Fister (1-2, 0.90 WHIP, 0.54 ERA)
Brandon McCarthy (3-0, 0.97 WHIP, 1.31 EAR)
Chris Sale (1-2, 1.00 WHIP, 2.84 ERA)

Cold Starter Of The Day:
On Thursday we have an ice cold starter that makes for an interesting match up in Luke Hochevar of the Royals. First of the Royals have been red hot since their cold start and Hochevar needs to get with the program. Against the Orioles he could do just that as he has great numbers vs. them in 96 combined at bats the Orioles have a .198 average and .590 OPS.

Notable Cold Starters:
J.A. Happ (1-2, 1.59 WHIP, 7.16 ERA)
Matt Moore (1-2, 1.86 WHIP, 6.43 ERA)
Matt Harrison (1-2, 1.41 WHIP, 8.27 ERA)
Chris Volstad (0-3, 1.71 WHIP, 7.94 ERA)

    I have no symphaty for Tiger Woods!!! He brought it all unto himself and now needs to pay the price for what he did! Tiger Woods deserves the same compassion, respect, loyalty and consideration that he gave his wife and children, which is, NONE!!!! He has been self pitying himself on the golf course trying to get sympathy from the public, but it is too little to late!!!

Got something to say?
