This weekend will be a real TOUGH SERIES. The Yanks lead the BoSox by 5 1/2 games, BUT if the Beloved Boston Boys sweep the series, the lead will be cut to 2 1/2 games. I hope that happens, since it will make for a real tight finish for the pennant.

You live in ny And rooting for the red sox.. come on. I am a die hard mets fan and would not do that

I went to college near Boston and root for the Patriots, the Bruins, the Celtics, and of course, THE BELOVED Boston Red Sox.

This weekend is going to showcase the 2 best rivalry in sports. The Yanks vs some second place team.

The other is my Bengals vs the steelers. God i hate the steelers. If you get a chance to watch this game i would. It is going to be very hard hitting. these 2 teams do not like each other and it is well known. If you follow either team. Nobody else really realizes it. This could either be a great weekend or a terrible weekend. Here's hoping for a good weekend.

How about this: Army deployed with fixed bayonets, facing the crowd, to keep rival spectators apart. I'm told that was regular in Celtic-Rangers football (soccer) matches in the early 20th Century.

Fierce rivalries that don't necessarily involve danger to life & limb:

England v Scotland in any sport - tiddlywinks upwards.
England v Wales in Rugby Union
BRISTOL v those runts down the road - Bath, I think they're called. Appropriate - they need a wash cos they smell.

Europe v USA, Ryder Cup

Federer/Nadal

Senna/Prost (F1)

England/Australia (cricket and pretty much anything else. LOVED the Olympics medal table!)
India/Pakistan (cricket)

Golf - it's looking increasingly like Tiger/Harrington, rather than Tiger/Phil. Padraig seems to put up more fight, more often.

That's enough rivalries for Friday evening.

On golf, you are right---at this time. Paddy does grind it out better and is definitely more consistent. He usually does not blow his chances with a bad round, like Phil does all too often.

So much for my comment that Paddy holds up better than Phil. It looks as if the Phil-Tiger rivalry has been revived. After a 73, including that nefarious snowman on the par 4, Phil shot 67-66-65! He may not be consistent all of the time, but boy, he can take it low when he is "on" his game.

Phil played great. He definatly deserved the win.

I wanna know what people think about the greatest sports rivalries of all time. I personally think it has to be The Red Sox And The Yankees. What do you guys think?

I am a Red Sox fan and glad they made the playoffs and will take on the Angels. However-----------they backed into the playoffs. They have lost six games in a row, and had a big enough lead over Texas to make it in spite of their awful losing streak. They do not look very strong going into the post-season.

But--------if they do beat the Angels (and they were 4-5 vs. them during the regular season), they will face their nemesis---the Yankees. I hope that happens!

There's no shame in getting shut down by Roy Halladay - probably the best pitcher in the game. Allowing 10 runs to the Jays on the other hand . . .

It's a tie between....

UNC v. Dook (obviously i side with the former)
and
OSU v. Michigan

I don't think you can discount a rivalry that transcends the game being played. In these cases, it does not matter if they are playing football, basketball, soccer, golf or checkers. They hate (respect on some level) each other. I just can't see how you can call Yanks/Red Socks the best rivalry of all time when no players would show up if they weren't being paid. Sure, it is a well-known, media-fed rivalry. But nothing like college/amateur sports.

    • However, have you ever considered using small summer houses for such setups? They offer a great solution for creating dedicated practice areas, especially for an affluent audience looking to enhance their outdoor living space.
    • I've played Bali Hai, Bear's Best and Painted Desert. I enjoyed Bali Hai the most--course was in great shape, friendly staff and got paired in a great group. Bear's Best greens were very fast, didn't hold the ball well (I normally have enough spin to stop the ball after 1-2 hops).  The sand was different on many holes. Some were even dark sand (recreation of holes from Hawaii). Unfortunately I was single and paired with a local "member" who only played the front 9.  We were stuck behind a slow 4-some who wouldn't let me through even when the local left. Painted Desert was decent, just a bit far from the Strip where we were staying.

    • Day 106 - Worked on chipping/pitching. Focus was feeling the club fall to the ground as my body rotated through. 
    • Honestly, unless there's something about that rough there that makes it abnormally penal or a lost ball likely, this might be the play. I don't know how the mystrategy cone works, but per LSW, you don't use every shot for your shot zones. In that scatter plot, you have no balls in the bunker, and 1 in the penalty area. The median outcome seems to be a 50 yard pitch. Even if you aren't great from 50 yards, you're better off there than in a fairway bunker or the penalty area on the right of the fairway. It could also be a strategy you keep in your back pocket if you need to make up ground. Maybe this is a higher average score with driver, but better chance at a birdie. Maybe you are hitting your driver well and feel comfortable with letting one rip.  I get not wanting to wait and not wanting to endanger people on the tee, but in a tournament, I think I value playing for score more than waiting. I don't value that over hurting people, but you can always yell fore 😆 Only thing I would say is I'm not sure whether that cone is the best representation of the strategy (see my comment above about LSW's shot zones). To me, it looks like a 4 iron where you're aiming closer to the bunker might be the play. You have a lot of shots out to the right and only a few to the left. Obviously, I don't know where you are aiming (and this is a limitation of MyStrategy), but it seems like most of your 4 iron shots are right. You have 2 in the bunker but aiming a bit closer to the bunker won't bring more of your shots into the bunker. It does bring a few away from the penalty area on the right.  This could also depend on how severe the penalties are for missing the green. Do you need to be closer to avoid issues around the green?  It's not a bad strategy to hit 6 iron off the tee, be in the fairway, and have 150ish in. I'm probably overthinking this.
