Just going to take a couple of good swings, right? I'll be swinging out of my ass, for sure. ... Everyone is expecting me to do it. It's been out there, what, 68 years, so I guess people would be excited about that. It would be a wonderful thing.
Ortiz also says he has zero chance of winning the AL MVP Award.
I'm right there, but I'm not going to win it. They give it to Alex one year, even though his team was in last place, so now they can't play that BS anymore, just because your team didn't make it. ..."It doesn't matter how much you've done for your ball club" -- that's a pretty strange thing to say.
But they'll vote for a position player, use that as an excuse. They're talking about Jeter a lot, right? He's done a great job, he's having a great season, but Jeter is not a 40-homer hitter or an RBI guy. It doesn't matter how much you've done for your ball club, the bottom line is, the guy who hits 40 home runs and knocks in 100, that's the guy you know helped your team win games.
Don't get me wrong -- he's a great player, having a great season, but he's got a lot of guys in that lineup. Top to bottom, you've got a guy who can hurt you. Come hit in this lineup, see how good you can be.
And when asked who he might vote for, Ortiz contradicted himself and fell into the same trap he just criticized the media for (which Eric Wilbur also picked up on).
All depends on who makes the playoffs. Dye is having an unbelievable season, an incredible year. Konerko, too. Morneau, he's having a great season, but in Minnesota, there's no publicity. I bet you nobody knows who he is.Where a team finishes in the standings should have absolutely nothing to do with who wins any award. ... We'll have lots of fun with figuring out who should get the MVP Award in October.
Julian Tavarez's comments about the boos he's heard at Fenway have been an interesting subplot for the past few weeks. He has been uncommonly open and honest about it has affected him. Last weekend, after being booed in his previous start but aware that the fans' reception to him had warmed, he tipped his cap while walking off the field.
I feel really happy about how they cheered for me from the bullpen. Last time it wasn't that way. They booed me in the bullpen. They booed me when they said my name. I got used to the boos but it hurt.Steven Krasner, on Wily Mo Pena's baserunning mistake on Sunday that ended with him joining Ortiz on second base:
The baserunning faux pas cost the Sox an out and potentially a bigger inning. But a team can put up with an occasional blunder if a guy can put a charge into the ball the way Pena can.I agree, even if his name ends with a "ez".
Krasner adds that now is the time for 2007 auditions. And Francona has said he'll be looking at guys like Dustin Pedroia, David Murphy, Kason Gabbard, Craig Hansen and Manny Delcarmen with an eye towards their roles in 2007. ... I would love seeing Pena, Murphy, and Pedroia in the lineup every day. We already know what Nixon and Loretta can (and cannot) do.
Coco Crisp reinjured his left index finger on Saturday: "In my second at-bat, when I hit the ball off the end of the bat, I felt like a pop, like when you crack your finger, and it just started hurting. It just kind of re-aggravated my ligament that I hurt when I broke my finger."
Curt Schilling may start one game of Saturday's day-night doubleheader at Yankee Stadium, possibly opposite Randy Johnson. ... Kevin Youkilis's .391 OBP is the best in the majors among leadoff hitters.

In my opinion I think Ortiz's comments and sarcasm make him come off as a crybaby taking shots at Jeter and A-rod. No offense to all you Red Sox fans who will now act like I crucified his family.
I'm not sure why you would assume that would be the reaction. The people who comment here are a few steps above the "Ortiz Rooolz!! Jeter Sucks, LOL" crowd.
And I'll say it again -- no one can rip the Sox like a Sox fan. We're the absolute best at it, so don't even try to match us.
One thing that has always annoyed me about Ortiz is his chronic whining about called strikes (though that has been less apparent this season). Home plate umpiring has been absolutely horrible for the past few years, but it's that way for everyone. Tiz should stop acting like all umps are out to get him.
In this discussion, he's obviously frustrated, though the Daily News headline calling it a "rip" of Jeter is a bit of an exaggeration.
I would like to see video of him saying these things, because the Boston media has been known to take things out of context from time to time.
Come hit in this lineup, see how good you can be.
This could be one of at least four things:
(a) a shot at the front office;
(b) a jab at his teammates;
(c) frustration at how the lineup was decimated with injiuries during August, one of the worst months in Red Sox history; or
(d) a not-very-well articulated summary of what he was saying about hitting amid Damon, Abreu, Slappy and HGHiambi and how he's susceptible to being pitched around.
...
Gutch, your EDIT post reminds me of people who say "I'm not a racist, but ..." and then blurt out some racist bullshit.
who does everyone else want to see in the playoffs?
Boston.
Ortiz' comment does sound a bit like sour grapes. I too would like to hear audio of it though, as I also completely distrust the Boston media types.
As for the "I'm not a racist but" meme - For years when I'm about to say something bad about someone I'll lead with "This may sound like an insult - and that's because it is"
gutch220, I try to ignore your Red Sox bullshit cuz you're a Yankee fan but I can't let the Bonds thing go. There's a young kid in Philly, having a monster season in only his 2nd year in the bigs. He's doing it in front of one of the most critical crowds in the majors after his team traded away a sure-fire 40-homer guy so he could play. They should be having fucking parades for the kid. Yet all anyone can talk about is whether he's on 'roids. I blame your cheating, hypocritical, arrogant dickhead of a Barry Bonds for this. A guy that was already headed for the HoF, but that wasn't good enough for him. And don't give me that 'nothing's been proven' bullshit. Go join Joe Morgan and the other moronic apologists in the San Francisco media. Trust your eyes, Gutch.
Hitler was ...
Gutch channeling Marge Schott?
...
Oh, besides Boston?
For me, it more of who I don't want. And it seems to come down to managers mostly. ??
MFY? No.
White Sox? Ozzie is an top-shelf A-hole and I hate the media's swooning luv of his managerial style.
Tigers? Leyland annoys me also, though his team doesn't irk me the way the White Sox do.
I hope Gump's lack of a brain bites him in the ass -- and hard. And I truly hope LaRussa gets some decent room service this fall.
I'll duck after I type this, but I want the Mets to do well -- mainly because of Pedro. I can't help it.
...
Howard is a fuckin' beast of a hitter, but of course Bonds in the playoffs would be great for baseball. (Even though woti seems to think he's the first baseball player to ever cheat.)
I like the _____ Sucks chants. It doesn't hurt anyone and it beats the hell out of the wave.
Go "_______ Sucks" chants!!!
I hate the Mets, I still like Barry Bonds, and I'd LOVE to see him destroy the Mets in the playoffs. (Although that would mean I'd have to be watching, and the chance of my watching NL playoffs this year are pretty slim.)
Bonds is a scapegoat for what is probably a very widespread problem. But it's only a problem for you if you make it one.
I personally don't give a shit who's using what. They're grown men, they can make their own choices whether and what to use. If baseball didn't have cheating, it would be the only human enterprise on earth, sports or otherwise, that was free of it. I don't see why I should care one way or the other.
I like the _____ Sucks chants. It doesn't hurt anyone and it beats the hell out of the wave.
Go "_______ Sucks" chants!!!
I can't imagine Fenway or Yankee Stadium without those chants. Seriously, cannot imagine. The day those chants stop, the terrorists have won.
And I want the Tigers in the playoffs. Original AL team, underdogs, not the White Sox, not the Yankees.
cheating, hypocritical, arrogant dickhead
Giambi? Slappy?
The day those chants stop, the terrorists have won.
See, it all comes full circle.
Nope, I don't think Bonds was the first to cheat. What irks me is that he didn't need to. Obviously, it's a complex subject, since his employers condoned it. And nobody says anything when 300 LB. NFL lineman can run as fast as Jimmy Brown did 40 years ago, cuz THEY HAVE TESTING. But I can still root for him to fail miserably, and dump on everyone who doesn't dump on him for not taking the high road.
Speaking of umpires and their personal, interpretive, shifting strike zones, has anyone considered that it may be impossible for the human eye to actually judge the zone? What about cellphone technology? I have no idea what I'm talking about, but is there a way that K-ZONE or something similar can be loaded onto a cellphone, and the ump just has to look at the phone as the pitch crosses the plate? Does this make sense?
When gutch compared the "Ortiz roolz" people to people who chant their hatred of the rival at the game, I too thought it was a bad comparison. I'm smart but I love to hate my rival out loud. So I was glad to see that Laura and Lauro agreed that the "___ suck" chants are okay. In fact, as someone who stopped using the word "suck" years ago, I have to say, "Yankees Suck" is the only time I'll use it. I stopped using "suck" because, obviously, of the implication: You suck, i.e. you'd do only what a woman or a gay man would do.
Granted, almost every phrase, from "what a gyp" to "scalpers" offends somebody, and when you use them, it doesn't mean you're some horrible person who hates a group of people, especially once the phrase goes mainstream. But, hey, I'm choosing to weed out those phrases, even if they're only "wrong" semantically. I think language is a good place to start, when trying to stop the hate.
Don't think language and semantics affect society? Well, if I'd said Allan and Allette, you would've known what I meant above. F you, male-dominated society.
Nonetheless, Yankees Suck. (Oh, and I justify saying it by telling myself I'm saying it to piss off only the particular Yankee fans who are homophobic mysogynists, who wouldn't want to hear about their boys engaging in gay activites, or being, god forbid, women.)
"is there a way that K-ZONE or something similar can be loaded onto a cellphone, and the ump just has to look at the phone as the pitch crosses the plate? Does this make sense?"
hold on, I'm getting another call...
And can you get service in the Metrodome?
jere said 'I'm getting another call'.
Encryption technology is the rage these days. I'm sure if MLB spent some of the swag they get from flogging their gear, they'd find a way.
Jere, you da man. And da woman. Very cool.
As Lauro will attest, I have a huge problem anyone uses the word pussy as an insult. (Especially in my own home! Ahem.)
It kind of drives me crazy that this piece of anatomy that so many men go to such degrading lengths to see is used an insult. I'm quite sure it should be a compliment.
I am with you all the way on language, and if 9casey wants to tell us that's what's wrong with the country, I say bring it on.
However, I also make an exception for "_________ suck". I will claim the Confederate Flag exception: it's part of our heritage.
at least that takes balls.
This expression is hilarious and pathetic at the same time. Imagine that owning testicles is equated with having courage and being strong. A male fantasy!
Not picking on you, Gutch, my friend. Just more on the language theme.
L-- glad you caught the "balls" comment. If he'd been being ironic, it would've been perfect. I argue with my girlfriend on that one all the time. I say to "have balls" implies that "you have the ability to do something only a MAN can do." She keeps saying "it just means you're brave," or whatever. Which, yeah, that's what it's supposed to mean, but can't something that doesn't have balls be brave? She says, "Well, if I'm saying a girl 'has balls,' I'm complimenting her." And I go right back to my original argument.
A good replacement for "balls" is "gonads" (that's 'nads' for short for you extreme kids out there), because both ovaries and testes are gonads.
I totally agree with you on pussy. As a straight dude, I can't not sound like a macho prick* when I say "I love vaginas," but, I'm just saying, when I see my girlfriend naked, I don't say, "Hey, cover up that sign of considerably un-male WEAKNESS." If any dude is like that, he's not exactly gonna make the girl desire him.
*It's different when you call someone a "dick" or "prick," because that just means you're mean or whatever, as opposed to weak. I do use those terms sometimes. Maybe it's because I am male, so it's okay for ME to use them, or maybe because there aren't a lot of choices, so I choose the one that involves my own sex.
Living in CT . Where everything is virtually all yankees all day. The Mets are kind of pushed aside like redheaded stepchildren. So I will root for them.
Woti 's comments about phillie fans being one of the most critical fans > i have to disagree I was there this year for a sox game and they are nowhere near as outspoken as red sox, yankee or even cub fans... Baseball is secondary to football in philly always will be.
And Papi .....shhhhhhhhhhh
Talk about a-rod , sheff, the unit, giambi, damon, anyone else but Jeter....He is what he is.....
If you watch him play everyday it's sickening how nothing botheres this kid he is a consumate professional, who handles his busineess with class
I just puked on myself......
L-girl:I am with you all the way on language, and if 9casey wants to tell us that's what's wrong with the country, I say bring it on.
You know whats wrong with this counry: My wife and my 2 kids stayed at a courtyard marriott about two weeks ago and I paid like 250.00 for the room. On the table they had a bottle of water. and a ticket attached saying if I opened it it will cost me 2.50 .Are you kidding me. That's whats wrong with this country.
So what did I do I drank it left a 5 dollar with a note saying I will get the the next round you cheap bastards.....The stupid things I do to make a point
She says, "Well, if I'm saying a girl 'has balls,' I'm complimenting her."
ARGH!!!! She's like a Jewish anti-semite.
I confess I use the words prick and dick as an insult. It's hard not to, the way so many men act in our world. This is a bit of sexism of my own that I justify. I guess I should work on it.
But.
Papi clears the air on redsox.com
Gutch.good tip......so just take it, don't pussyfoot....
Gutch220 said- I'd have just taken it and said there was never a bottle of water there.
Gutch, pardon my arrogance, but you're hilarious, you really are.
Ever watch a cat slowly stalk it's prey and how softly it steps? Thats what "pussyfoot" comes from.
Words that happen to have two meanings like "pussyfoot," or, say, "dick" when meaning "private eye," have exactly zero to do with what we're talking about.
I'm up for debating this issue, but you brought up id something totally unrelated.
jeez, you guys/girls take things too literally. "Balls" is just a figure of speach, thats it. No need to over analyze ever word
Words have meaning. Language is important.
If you don't believe it, the next time you see an African American woman with a baby, tell her how cute her little pickanninny is. See how she reacts.
"ARGH!!!! She's like a Jewish anti-semite."
Don't worry, she's "one of us." Meaning a strong liberal. She refuses to say "scalper." I think she knows what I'm getting at, but it's the type of thing where, you grow up thinking balls means strength, so you just say it interchangeably with "spine." Look, I can't explain her thoughts, quit grillin' me under these hot lights.
now your just splitting hairs
No, he's not. He is being correct. Pussyfoot does not come from the same root as pussy meaning female genitals.
Gutch, do you know the word etymology? Look it up.
Gutch220 said: thank you?
Yeah, seriously, you're a funny guy.
now your just splitting hairs
No, it's totally different. If pussyfoot had come to describe a vagina, and from there became a phrase that impled weakness, that would be what we're talking about.
Right, what she said.
Don't worry, she's "one of us."
I'd be extremely surprised if she weren't. I really was kidding.
Although I do think she is wrong on this point. :)
so you just say it interchangeably with "spine."
That's a funny expression for me, because I write about, and am always talking to, people whose spines do not work - people who use wheelchairs.
Many of them have very big balls. Balls the size of Saturn, I believe. :)
This next one should be good.!!!!!
you seem to come off as some sort of male-bashing feminist; is this true?
i'm pretty sure you were talking to L, but i'll step forward and proudly identify myself as both a male-basher and a feminist.
Allright the next one should be good!?
you seem to come off as some sort of male-bashing feminist; is this true?
feminist, absolutely, and very proud of the fact. people who believe in the equality of all people are proud to call themselves feminists.
male-bashing, only when the males deserve it. i bash females when they deserve it, too. i'm an equal-opportunity basher, based only on behaviour, not on what type of genitals the person owns.
perhaps you don't realize that male-bashing and feminist are not the same thing, but then again, you've shown that you're in need of a dictionary. now you have two to look up: feminist, and etymology.
i hope you're making a list.
sorry to disappoint you, 9casey. i'm not that easily bated.
L-girl... This is alot of fun to read and post daily for me....I just don't know if you enjoy it or are truly annoyed....
9Casey, if I were truly annoyed, you'd know it. I'm enjoying myself.
I do get pissed off at ignorant comments - like thinking the word feminist is an insult!? wtf? - but most people here are smart and fun. Plus I have an in with the owner.
i hate mike timlin.
L-girl, Sox are in TO next weekend. You could dress in cammy gear, hide out at the Skydome Hotel and shoot him with one of those suction-tipped bow and arrows we used to have as kids. Probably scare the shit out of him.
That's funny
Better yet, I'll put on my favourite male-bashing feminist wet suit and shoot him with a poison-tipped harpoon.
We'll be at Skydome Monday night, Sept 25. Look for me.
I love it when Torontonians call it 'SkyDome'. Get Ted Rogers while your at it.
I love it when Torontonians call it 'SkyDome'.
Heh, I didn't even do it on purpose. I just still think of it as Skydome. But it's true, lots of Trontonians refuse to call it you-know-what.
Get Ted Rogers while your at it.
Check.
Sorry, Jack. Just because something is illegal doesn't make it wrong. As an ethicist, I'm sure you know that.
Cheating in sports, in my opinion, is part of the game, and doesn't bother me. Since I can't possibly know who is cheating and who is not, I don't worry about it. Unlike Enron-type cheating, which ruined innocent people's lives, cheating in sports hurts no one except the users themselves.
I like Barry Bonds, and I do think he's being used as a scapegoat, or a poster-boy, or something of that nature, perhaps I'm not getting at the right word.
He is the only one slaughtering records using forbidden substances
The name Mark McGwire comes to mind. Not proven, but as strongly suspected as anyone else.
Sorry to make you nauseous. I know the feeling every time I listen to the self-righteous hand-wringing from the holier-than-thou sports media.
I also meant to respond to this.
Allowing a player to profit by using illegal means puts pressure on all players to do likewise
Baseball has encouraged using any means possible to boost offensive, and both management and the players union have looked the other way because it was profitable and good for the sport.
The sport didn't just "allow" players to juice, they practically mandated it.
That's why I find the attention paid to Barry Bonds so hypocritical and self-righteous.
, and absolutely encourages kids to engage in conduct that is harmful to them.
This is something people say, but is there any evidence to back it up?
My pretty considerable experience with kids leads me to believe that steroid use among professional athletes has little or no effect on the choices of ordinary children.
Kids who are elite athletes and on a trajectory for professional sports, or an attempt at them - that's different. In that hyper-competitive world, I doubt there is anything you could do to dissuade cheating except draconian penalties, zero-tolerance rules and such. Testing and banning at the major-league level certainly wouldn't have any effect.
What can I tell ya, Jack. I have counter-arguments for almost every one of yours, and the ones I don't, I think are just blatantly ridiculous. What to you sounds like rationalization, to me is good common sense. What to you is rational ethics, sounds to be like sanctimonious, meaningless bombast.
We both love the Sox, and dogs, and apparently theatre, but that's probably all we agree on. But that's enough for this blog! Enjoy.
Not even in Canada.
Cheap shot. Unnecessary.
Yeah, I totally said "ouch" out loud on the Canada line.
Thanks for the apology, Jack, although it really wasn't necessary. Especially since you made more cheap shots in your response ("Conceptual arguments require verbal precision", for example).
I have less than zero desire to "challenge you" on your own turf or anyone else's. I don't go in for these kind of debates. I find them a pointless waste of time.
I find the whole concept of an "ethics scoreboard" where "verbal precision" is supposedly valued, yet people say things like "what part of _______ don't you understand?" quite distasteful.
I don't care about steroid use or cheating in baseball or any other sport, I don't think it's important, and no amount of self-righteous fervor on your part could induce me to.
Sorry. You'll have to captain the Bonds-hating showboat without me onboard. Goddess knows it's crowded enough on that ship already - I won't be missed.
I think most people don't hate Bonds because of records or drugs. It's beacuse he's black and doesn't smile often. You can be white and pissy, or black and teddy bear-like, and America will accept you, even if you do drugs on the side. But black AND mean? No chance.
If he were white, OR if he were black but happy-go-lucky, like a big teddy bear, ie, what a lot of ass holes would think of as "LESS black," I think he wouldn't be treated as harshly.
There's so much racism in this society. It's all over the place. I bet 80% of people who say they "hate" Bonds are racists anyway. No matter how much they say "it's not about that."
If he were white, OR if he were black but happy-go-lucky, like a big teddy bear, ie, what a lot of ass holes would think of as "LESS black," I think he wouldn't be treated as harshly.
Ding ding ding!
I don't know how anyone could look at black players like (to name 6 off the top of my head) Bonds, Dick Allen, Kirby Puckett, Carl Everett, Ozzie Smith, and David Ortiz and not see this dynamic.
It's a huge double standard and it has nothing to do with steroids.
Jack, does the phrase "give it a rest" mean anything to you?
Honestly, I can't believe you want to pick apart my last comment like that. I used the words bombast and self-righteous because I meant them. Not "words for the sake of words" - words chosen because they appropriately express my meaning.
The words are more and more on target, the longer you go on.
I disagree with you. I see this issue very, very differently than you. Not different by a few degrees - different in form, intent, content, colour, shape and shadow. I do not want to discuss it, because the discussion is, to me, tiresome, tiring, annoying, and, above all, pointless.
What part of THAT don't you understand?
Really, I want to be nice to you, but you make it very difficult.
****
Jere, yes indeedy. I didn't want to bring it up, but I'm sure glad you did.
Yeah, people hate Bonds cause he's misogynist. Misogynists are really hated in our society, oh yeah. Boy, when you are mean to women, you just can't get a break. Especially among sports fans! I hear those anti-misogynist chants at the ballpark all the time. "Jee-ter's Sex-ist... Jee-ter's Sex-ist..." Along with the shouts defending gay people, and the anti-war chants. Meanwhile back on planet USA...
To compare Bonds with other black athletes , Like Puckett, Everett, Smith, and Papi. Not really fair, Bonds when all said done will go down as one of the greatest ballplayers off all time, Compare him with Jordan, Woods, Payton, guys like that all time greats in their games... And all Loved and revered....Those guys are treated pretty well and also black......He is treated the way he is because he come off like an arrogant ass and like the world owes him something, he was that way before the whole steriod mess......Tiger Woods never smiles when he plays and he is also not very teddy bear like...Neither was Jordan.....
Tiger Woods never smiles when he plays and he is also not very teddy bear like...Neither was Jordan.....
Very few people recognize Bonds as in the same caliber as Tiger Woods or Michael Jordan. Bonds is generally very under-rated, which also says a lot to me.
I find the expression "like the world owes him something" very telling.
l-girl says: Bonds is generally very under-rated, which also says a lot to me.
Baseball Achievements:

Achievements:
All voted upon Media and Fans, underated by who?
Ruth was a mythical character that most of us never saw play you ask someone who is not a baseball fan to name a great player most of them who'd say Ruth.
Was the fact that Maris was hated and rooted against by Yankee fans when he broke the single season record then placed with with an asterisk racist, Or just the fact he was taking down an icon.
if Derek Jeter, or Ichiro or anybody black , white , purple, asian, or Latin, Breaks Williams 401 record or Dimaggio's record of 56 they will be celebrated if there is no hints of steriods.
Hell, If Ryan Howard hits 62 a lot of people even myself , will consider him the season record holder.
Bonds justs gives you no reasons to celebrate him, and if that is telling to you , which I beleive you are saying I am a racist,if you are not I apoligize in advance,
then I quess we will just agree to disagree like usual..
Was the fact that Maris was hated and rooted against by Yankee fans when he broke the single season record then placed with with an asterisk racist, Or just the fact he was taking down an icon.
You are really out there, 9Casey. Because someone was hated without the presence of racism doesn't mean racism doesn't exist.
To my knowledge, Roger Maris didn't endure death threats, like Hank Aaron did. But of course, that was yesterday in America. Today there is no racism.
What is it with these people who need to believe that there's no racism in the world? They'll acknowledge that it *used to* exist, but are unwilling and unable to believe it still does.
That's not a question for you, 9Casey. It's just something I'm constantly amazed by.
And yes, I do think Bonds is under-rated, despite those accolades. I'm not saying that's solely because of racism. Because of Bonds's un-media-friendly personality, the sports media has constantly played him as the bad guy, and not celebrated his accomplishments the way they would with a seemingly nicer guy.
The media completely shapes our view of the players, or attempts to (Maris is a great example of that, vs Mantle), and Bonds's personality as packaged by the media is not acceptable to most fans from an African American man.
And now I'm getting out of this thread, because it's ridiculous. See you in more current conversations.
"Compare him with Jordan, Woods, Payton, "
This is exactly my point. The black guys who are celebrated are the ones who didn't "rock the white boat."
You say Jordan is not a teddy bear. Meaning what, that he has a gambling problem? Earlier in this thread I said:
"You can be white and pissy, or black and teddy bear-like, and America will accept you, even if you do drugs on the side"
Drugs, gambling, whatever your vice, it doesn't matter if you smile friendly for the camera, are seen helping sick kids, etc. Jordan's personality was Mr. Nice Guy for the most part.
About Woods: I don't think he's universally beloved. A lot of people thought he was a fluke. Imagine if a blond haired, blue-eyed kid his age had broken into the golf world and did what Woods did?
And Walter Payton: Very unintimidating. ie acceptable.
Another great of his time and sport: Ali. Always crackin jokes, a big time character--it was okay that he practiced "anti-American" behavior. That's his "thing he does on the side that will be 'allowed' as long as he keeps us laughing."
Jere says:Imagine if a blond haired, blue-eyed kid his age had broken into the golf world and did what Woods did?
Is that sarcasm?
If not his name was Jack Nicklaus
Or Jon Daly, Ha!
But no, it wasn't sarcasm. It's, again, my point. Nobody had any problem with Nicklaus. But Woods, people call him a fluke and make fun of him a lot. I don't even really know what they make fun of him for. I don't follow golf, but he has done a lot of amazing things, and is kinda not liked by a lot of people, from what I've seen.
