Blogging To The US Open Live - 3:30

Alright, back. Some highlights from the last half hour.

1. Does David Toms only wear horizontal striped shirts? At Christmas, if his children get him a vertically striped one, does he go into a huge fit of rage, cursing and screaming while downing a bottle of Jack and then throws it against the wall as he storms upstairs? At least that is what i envision.

2. I love it when announcers try to pronounce foreign names. Currently the announcers are all over Angel Cabrera and calling him "An Hell". I think they really love doing this cause normally its only Tiger and Phil that they use the first name, but the second they get a foreign player with an interesting name, they join the group.

3:36 - A leader board of Cabrera, Falsth, Casey and Watson. I am sure the network executives are not returning phone calls from the boss.

3:42 - Does anyone else see the similarities between David Feherity and the Burger King King? Have they ever been seen together? Time to get the Mystery Machine gang back together.

3:49 - Oh good, they are now recapping the early part of Tiger's round for everyone. I guess seeing everyone of his shots is really not enough for some people. They really need to just get him his own station, and people who just want to watch him can and the rest of us can watch the other golfer and some of his shots.

3:51 - And after Tiger's recap, back to live action and Tiger's next shot. So in the last 5 minutes i have seen commercials, Tiger and a brawl between the Cubs and the Padres where Derrick Lee of the Cubs pulled a Carmelo Anthony, only he didn't connect before he retreated. I think we need to rename this phrase now from Pulled a Carmelo to Pulled a Derrick, since Derrick didn't connect.

3:54 - I like it when announcers say "easy putt" even though it is from 20 ft and it is the US Open. Someone needs to shake their tower, they are getting a little too comfortable up there.

OK, not sure if i will be back with a 4:30 post but will tomorrow.

Final Totals on Tiger:

"You the Man" - 4
"Get in the Hole" - 8 (including one after his putt had stopped, way to pay attention)
