"0 for 32 in her pro career"
You just proved you don't know what your talking about! Thanks.
Thought about doing comedy work yet?
You'd be a hit!

Comment from: Brian [Visitor]
Who is worse? An adult bashing another adult or an adult bashing a teenage girl?

You are shameless

Thank you Brian. FInally someone else has articulated what has been making me so angry at Baldwin and his fellow bloggers.

Rage at the marketing machine if you must but quit beating on the kid. I really don't understand why there is so much anger and animosity towards MW. She is a kid doing some amazing things.
And the outrageous distortion of the facts to bolster the bashing eg: Michelle Wie is 0 for 32 in her pro career. That's a fact..
No that is not fact. Her pro career is 4 losses so far. Anything previous to that was as an amateur. She still has 30 pro career and 9 years to go to start at the same place as Annika started. (I believe this was where Annika started: age 25. 34 pro starts before an LPGA title)
Annika herself has said that MW is at a whole other level from where AS was at 16.
Pure and unadulterated jealousy of the success of BJ Wies marketing of his daughters talent is what's behind the angst of these bloggers.
Jeez, if I could get a marketing machine working like this for my kids, I'd do it in a heartbeat.

Chris you said "Michelle Wie is 0 for 32 in her pro career. That's a fact."

No, don't say that it is a simple mistake. I don't buy that because it was not a blunder on spelling or grammar. Nobody in their right mind would believe that it was mistyped. I think you did that on purpose in order to chum.

To give you the benefit of doubt, let's say it was a goof. Still you are inexcusable because making such mistake as a professional writer is simply much worse than not being able to win in 32 games in you know what.

You said "A marketing machine with no basis in bottomline sports results" and "as opposed to Wie's marketing machine setup"

Are you suggesting that marketing by Wie, Wie's family, William Morris or the media is a bad thing?

If you are, then you must be a communist. Marketing is in the heart of Capitalism which most Americans think is good thing.

Yes, you can say there is a good and bad marketing but do you really think that marketing by Wie is bad for me, you, children or society? Just tell me one bad thing that marketing by Wie has inflicted upon us.

You said "You can say what you want about Limbaugh's views, it takes a tremendous amount of work and drive to become that successful from where he started - as opposed to Wie's marketing machine setup."

You are a hypocrite to say that. You know that it takes a unimaginable amount of effort and sacrifice to become that good at golf at that age - as opposed to Rush's marketing effort.

You should treat others the way you want to be treated.

Who is worse? An adult bashing another adult or an adult bashing a teenage girl?

You are shameless.

You're still an idiot Chris. Like all narrowminded losers, you fixed on one set of numbers and ignore everything else to bolster your point. Be sure to use mouthwash seeing how you had your tongue so far up that loser pill popping freakshow Rush Limbaugh's rectum.

Mr. Baldwin, I commend you for the character and strength you have shown. Your article says it all. You were indeed the only one of the writers who was actually able to meet with Mr. Limbaugh (something many people would envy you for), and the only one who has any factual knowledege of the real man.
You showed what you're made of by defending someone whom you personally may not even agree with much of the time, but who showed himself to you to be a genuinely fine individual. You obviously recognized that and felt compelled to stand up to people who would tear someone down even though they don't know him.
Good for you; I also recognize a fine individual- you. Keep doing what you do, maybe this is why you seem to have more work published in more places than those others. Could be, you never know. Sadly, most of the commenters posting before me seem to display the same ignorance and lack of character that the other writers did. They are wrong, and I apologize to you for them; please disregard their stupidity.

Oh my, the natives are indeed growing restless. Let's have them duke it out inside a ring. It's Baldie and McDoo in the main event. On the undercard we'll have fat Limbaugh against Wolfcrumb. The winning team gets to wrestle Michelle sans driver, of course.

The only way to solicit comments to your threads is to troll about Michelle. One day crawl out from under your bridge and visit a tournament and interview her and you might be surprised.

How refreshing to hear a well thought out, intelligent blog! This is in direct contrast to Tim McDonald's mention of Rush where there was no substance and all name-calling. The fact of the matter is that people can respectfully disagree with someone and state intelligently why without resorting to name-calling, which a 5-year-old kid can do.
Tim McDonald is obviously in his own little liberal world, where everything he believes is correct and should never be challenged. Oh and if you do disagree with him uuuummm.... your a Nazi and ummmm.... your fat.

Brilliant Tim M, keep it up. I love it when liberals show their true colors.
