Blogger's note: This post is actually courtesy of Jim Owczarski, who had issues getting this to work from home. So he typed it up on his typewriter and then dictated it to me over the phone. Technology is your friend, Jim.
Some technical difficulties kept me from posting this sooner - but that's OK - if you're a real sports fan you haven't had time to check until about now anyway...because really, who cares about Ted Lilly's problems?
First - how about Gavin Floyd? The youngster took a no-no into the 8th against the hapless Tigers (who are quickly finding themselves in a big hole). A friend of mine and I were thinking - who does Floyd look like when he delivers the ball from the windup? The first thought was Mark Prior...but I can't recall the last time I saw Prior actually pitch...but his delivery does look familiar...maybe you can help me out...
And who would have thought that Tiger and Phil could not mount a charge today at Augusta National? Some guy named Steve Flesch, of all people, will be paired with Trevor Immelman in the final group...which is good news for the South African who won the last Western Open in 2006 at Cog Hill.
Tiger seemed to find a groove on the back stretch, so it'll be interesting if he gets out and running early to see how those two react....
