The ring’s the thing.
So on a night that the SF Giants get their rings, Barry Bonds, tainted by allegations of cheating, is conspicuously absent. But the Giants give a ring to Hall of Famer Gaylord Perry.
A little more irony on a Bonds-free celebration night at A T and T park. The game winning hit came from Miguel Tejada. Who in 2009 pled guilty in federal court to lying to Congress about his knowledge of other players using steroids. (And admitted using them himself.)

The San Jose Sharks have wrapped up the number two seed in the playoffs. Of course, with the team’s playoff history isn’t this like having a first class berth on the Titanic.

After three rounds in the Masters, no American is higher than eighth place. (Bo Van Pelt.) It’s not just that golf no longer has Tiger Woods as a superstar, but the game is turning into soccer.

Yes, it’s still early, but these are tough times for baseball fans in Boston. Even Cubs fans are sending sympathy notes.

Tiger Woods has had problems with a number of short putts today at the Masters. Which seems particularly strange to long-time Tiger watchers. It’s never been a problem for Woods putting it into a lot of holes.

An Alaska Airlines flight bound for Hawaii turned around and landed safely in Sacramento when a bird struck an engine. Beginning to wonder how long it will be until PETA comes out against air travel as being dangerous for birds.
Glad that a government shutdown was avoided. But in that list of “non-essential employees,” how did they not include Congress?

While Liberals are generally not thrilled with the budget compromises, Tea Party members are so annoyed with Speaker of the House John Boehner, who they believe sold out their principles, that they are talking about a primary challenger for him.
Somewhere, Nancy Pelosi must be giggling.

” It’s never been a problem for Woods putting it into a lot of holes.”
Getting it into a lot of holes has never been Tiger’s problem. It’s all those exra strokes before he can slip it in that has him off his game. Maybe he should Tee off the back nine first.

Mariners in mid-season form: they’ve scored 14 runs while steaking to 6 straight losses. They are now on a pace to lose 121 games. But, even better, Boston, TB & Houston are on pace to lose 142. And equally irrlevant, the Pittsburgh Pirates are in the thick of the NL wild card race.
