Continuing on, the leaders in win shares through yesterday's games: AL: 1. Jeter (31) 2. Mauer (29) 3. Ramirez (28) 4. Ortiz (27) 5. Morneau (27) Dye is 6th with 26; Santana is 9th with 24. Sizemore and Hafner also have 24. NL: 1. Beltran (37) 2. Pujols (36) 3. Cabrera (33) 4. Berkman (32) 5. Wright (30)

Donald and Sergio took out Tiger and Furyk 2-up. The other three matches were halved. Europe 5, USA 3. It could have been worse for the Americans -- Europe was leading in every match at one point on the back nine. Lefty and DiMarco were dormie in their match and couldn't pull out the win, though. The Americans are going to need to play at least even with the Europeans tomorrow to have a decent shot at winning the Cup.

Maybe they all see a full-on crash in the near future.

No more wacky JBL hazing stories. Damn.

Down to 78.9/L here. Still more than just about anywhere south of the border (US$2.67/gallon).

I'd laugh my ass off if he got shelled and had to leave the game in the second or something like that. They probably won't be cheering for him to come back out of the dugout after that.

Tiger and Furyk took the first match, 1-up. Europe then won two matches and halved another. Europe 2.5, USA 1.5. Afternoon foursomes: Match 5: Padraig Harrington/Paul McGinley (EUR) vs. Chad Campbell/Zach Johnson (USA) Match 6: David Howell/Henrik Stenson (EUR) vs. Stewart Cink/David Toms (USA) Match 7: Lee Westwood/Colin Montgomerie (EUR) vs. Phil Mickelson/Chris DiMarco (USA) Match 8: Luke Donald/Sergio Garcia (EUR) vs. Tiger Woods/Jim Furyk (USA) That last one should be fun to watch.

Same here. I like Pierre. He's incredibly knowledgeable about hockey. I was listening to him on the radio long before he started at TSN. I agree his TV voice can get a little annoying at times, though.

I thought it was a typo and Robert Gibson had died. Never knew he had a brother in wrestling. RIP, though.

I did. Thank God for an office in a low-traffic area.

Yeah, I guess you're right. Too bad everyone on TV passed up the "took a ranked team to OT" angle in favour of the "couldn't score from inside the 2 in nine tries" angle.

Syracuse was right at the top until they beat Illinois last weekend. They're still going 1-11, though.

Friday morning fourball pairings: 3 a.m. ET -- Tiger Woods and Jim Furyk, United States, vs. Colin Montgomerie and Padraig Harrington, Europe. 3:15 a.m. ET -- Stewart Cink and J.J. Henry, United States, vs. Paul Casey and Robert Karlsson, Europe. 3:30 a.m. ET -- David Toms and Brett Wetterich, United States, vs. Jose Maria Olazabal and Sergio Garcia, Europe. 3:45 a.m. ET -- Phil Mickelson and Chris DiMarco, United States, vs. Darren Clarke and Lee Westwood, Europe.

"Why you be hatin' on me?"

I'm going 15.5-12.5 Europe, but I honestly wouldn't be surprised to see the US win.

What IS the worst team in I-A now? Is there agreement on Temple, or does anyone want to make a case for Duke or Illinois?

2x, see below

I think I've got a match:

Shocking.

I'm not angry as a driver, I'm mostly angry as a pedestrian. Getting hit by a bike doesn't feel very good, either. Besides, it's illegal here to ride on the sidewalk.

As someone who was a biker for many years I can tell you that if you are a pedestrian I am NOT going to hit you unless you do something stupid. I give people fair berth and people with dogs and kids four times as much. If you are just walking I may pass you by, I may even be close, but I am NOT going to hit you. Regarding the turning cars? You need to check but the biker has the responsability there. Unfortunately, you're in the minority. People I see riding on the sidewalk are mainly teenagers that couldn't give a shit. Most others I've seen aren't nearly as conscientous as you obviously are. Even worse are the cyclists who ride on the sidewalk when there are marked bike lanes on the road. I see that all the time here at work. Ottawa is really good about having a lot of bike lanes and separate bike paths.

Papi tied the Red Sox club record for HRs in a season last night. Someone at TSN either is dumb or has a weird sense of humour, because they reported the old record as belonging to Jamie Foxx on the Bottom Line.

He looks kinda like Andre the Giant.
