(Bad) stat of the day

How fitting is it that Aramis Ramirez, who is batting .168 this year, batted .167 in a two-game rehab stint with Class A Peoria? We've always known he was consistent, and that holds true this year--but not in a good way!

-----------------

It was nice to see Tiger Woods play relatively well and compete in the US Open, but it was strange to watch him, Phil, and a number of other top golfers miss opportunity after opportunity even after Dustin Johnson opened the door--or rather, brought in a wrecking ball and knocked down the whole wall with a triple bogey followed by a double followed by a bogey within the first four holes. But Graeme McDowell has a really cool accent, so I was okay with him taking the trophy.
