Playing even worse with no Tiger in the British Open just typical Phil Mickelson

My son jolted me awake early this morning because he’d had a nightmare. While walking him around, I turned on the first hour of TNT’s coverage (which would start even earlier if anyone in TV cared about the West Coast, but more on that in a later blog). As the images from Royal Birkdale came into view, it became apparent that the little guy could have been dreaming about Phil Mickelson trying to play links golf.

That’s enough to scare the sleep out of anyone.

For there Mickelson was, bundled up against the whipping wet winds, kicking away another major opportunity. Mickelson already stood at plus seven shortly after TNT went on the air. He’d finish 9-over, which is actually almost as predictable as Tony Romo doing something to attract attention to himself.

You almost knew that Phil would find a way to play even worse with no Tiger Woods in the field. All these years, Tiger has actually been taking pressure off Phil. When Mickelson is the clear No. 1 star, the headliner, he cannot cope.

dufus... so, I guess the weather had absolutely nothing to do with his 79.

That's what I've been trying to tell Stacy for a long time!

It is interesting how you have continued for 5 posts in a row now, your immature, childish jabs at Mr. Romo.

Amazing, rats like you feed on left over sewer scum and thing someone craping in your sewer is good for your blog.
Maybe that is why your not able to get a respectible job writing real journalism. No one would hire a loser like you so you settle for writing for a cess pool and you fit perfectly in the pile of mess.

You mean you have a son? How is that possible? Did you adopt? Certaintly no women in their right mind would marry or have relations with you not could they considering your anatomy and lack of intelligence.

So...what's the stink? Can't I have a son and besides, why does everyone in my blog think I'm such a stupid chipmunk looking loser?

We are in awe...you have a new and patriotic following waving your flag. You have a mascot in the noble chipmunk and questions on your biological relationship to time and place.

And you are correct, sadly, about Phil. Did Phil ever grow up in bad weather? San Diego to Arizona to wealthy San Diego...nope, doesn't look like it. Can't imagine the folks took him on vacation to rainy coastlines to prepare him for moments like these.

Still smiling, though. Might even make the cut.

The last few weeks have been great - Watching golf with no Tigger is grrrreat! However, I wish the Common-Taters would stop talking about him. HE IS NOT IN THE COMPETITION - WE DON'T NEED TO HEAR ALL THE BLATHERING!

On another note: Wie-Wee is not onlt a poor golfer....she is incompetent (or stupid). She forgot to sign her card!

Sue Witters, the LPGA’s director of tournament competitions, disqualified Wie in a small office in an LPGA trailer at the golf course after asking her what had happened.

“She was like a little kid after you tell them there’s no Santa Claus,” Witters said.

I can very much imagine Michelle's reaction, John. Michelle strikes me as the kind of girl who would never admit this to be her own fault. Instead, she would throw a tantrum about how unfair it was that she was being DQ'd, and how people simply have it in for her. Ditto for her first disqualification.

Stupid girl.

"The noble chipmunk"?? Pretty good Monny....did you copy that from somewhere?? ;)

Baldy - keep poking the ROMO Rednecks...it is SOOO much fun watching their patheic efforts to spell, punctuate, and construct sentences that don't contain the word YEE-HAW......*grin*
