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.

      My Swing (saevel25)

      By saevel25 · Posted

      Still working on the backswing a bit. Hand still gets away from the body, out towards the ball, and at A2 the club wants to roll over and get flat at A3. It's just very difficult to shallow from that position like I want. Which makes my downswing work impossible.  Backswing I have been playing around with the left leg straightening to start the backswing. It's like, a slight shove of the hips right with the left leg. Then just keep the flex in the right knee as I turn into it. I kind of like it. I never had a good swing trigger. It helps keep my left knee extended.  Yea, definitely feeling the hand path is traveling down the feet line, and straight up. A little bit of wrist rotation, and a lot more hinge sooner in the right wrist and elbow. I am trying to get the feeling that the arm hinging up then is the cause for the right shoulder to retract to finish the backswing. Club feels much more vertical at A3. I am trying to have my wrist fully hinged by then.  Feel the club and arms stop at A3.5 (my A4). If my arm collapses late, then I turn into that and I am pretty much screwed. The club and arms kind of have a floaty feeling, where they are just suspended in air for a bit, then drop.  Downswing I have been trying to think of a good visual for this mentally. I like the idea of my hands taking a wide arc to my right pocket, or I am taking the back of the hosel and trying to hit the ground behind my right foot.    Left knee stuff, just sooner.

      Day 2 (10 Mar 26) - Worked on weight shift feel using slap stick drill (hands about 6” apart - coming back weight on trail foot - down - thru weight on lead foot….moved it to hitting chips w/9i playing what I call “leap frog” - hit 1st about 10yds, the next a couple past the 1st, for about 6 balls total.  Love it as the lies change, the distances vary making each swing slightly different.
