Sorry i'm a little late witht he weekend walk through been really busy with some things so instaed of making two sperate posts i'll combine the walk through witht he Tuesday ten.
The ten things that happend over the weekend.
1. Tiger Blows a lead at a major. The most clutch of clutch golfers who had never lost a major when leading after 54 holes did on Sunday. In the most improbable of upsets Y.E. Yang came from two back with clutch play down the stretch and bad play from Tiger wo win his first major. It keeps tiger Winless in the Majors this seaosn the first time since 2004 that happend to him. He's still ahd a great season after knee surgery and will prolly win the Fed-Ex Cup.
2. Baseballs to the head day Saturday. David wright started the day getting hit in the side of the head with a 93 MPH fastball from Matt Cain. It wasn't an intentional pitch but it did land Wright on the DL with a concusion. Then pitcher Hurkoi Kuroda of the Dodgers got hit in the face by a line drive right back at him which ended up as a ground rule double in the stands. Vry scary to see as that could end his carrer he was released from the hospital and rejoined the team sunday. Lastly Ian Kinsler gets hit in the back of the head by a fast ball from one of the Red Sox relievers and gets infuriated they threw at him twice. As a fan i hate seeing all these guys getting hit i just say if ur going to bean someone don't go for the head area folks.
3 Brian Vickers wins in a Toyota in Michigan the home of the three big auto makers. The second and final race at MIS this season a toyota wins there for the first time when Chevy, Ford and Dodge need to prove there better then the over seas cars. Vickers really only won it on fuel when Jimmie Johnson ran out off of turn four when leading with three to go. But the win also moves Brian into a better spot to make the chase only 12 points out of the important 12th spot in points which is held by Mark "The Kid" Martin right now.
4. Usain bolt sets a new world record at the Track and field championchips in the 100 meter race. Hes the fastest man alive. Bolt after seeting the World record at the olympics last year broke his own record running a 9.58 in the 100 Meter race then backs it up today ran a 20.41 in the 200. This man is crazy fast i don't think anyone could keep up with him.
5.NFL Preseason kicks into full force. We get our first looks at promising rookies in Matthew Stafford and Mark Sanchez as they both dazzel in their first games. The Mark Sanchez era in NY might have alreayd started as he has gotten the tap ont he shoulder for the nest preseaosn game. The Giants are still looking for their wide outs to compliment Hakeem Nicks who will prolly be their top guy.
6. Mike Vick is a changed man. The Eagles took the risk in signing the QB and in all his interviews he has said the right things. He knows what he did was wrong and he took his punishment like a man. Hes got a team where he can fit in and make a difference in that offense
and maybe help them make the playoffs and go deeper in. I think he is a changed man and even though most people say don't give him a second chance i think he deserves one.
7. Texas Rangers take the AL Wild Card lead from Boston. After taking two of three in a big series against Boston the Rangers take the Al Wild Card lead by a game over Boston who is out of the playoffs for the first time all season but there still is a lot of time left for Boston to find their way abck into the playoffs.
8. Brad Kesolwski wins at his home track. In the second tier searies in Nascar this weekend Brad Kesolowski won at his home track. He was running third when they took the white flag as Kyle Busch and Sundays winner Brian Vickers were beating and banging on each other and Kesolowski made his move for the win. After the race Tempers flared between Busch and Vickers when Busch went over to Vickers car after the race agrivated. They were spilt up and didn't have any more porblems this weekend.
9.Quentin Richardson Traded for the fourth time this summer. First delt on draft night to Memphins then to the Clippers for Zach randolph then to Minnesota for three players then finaly he lands in Miami to play with D-Wade and the heat for Center Marcus Blount. You gotta feel sorry for the guy cause eh keeps on ahving to find a new place and just when he thinks hes fine hes on the move again.
10.The Brett Favre saga continues. HE retires then comes back. Retires now he comes back again. This guy needs to pick one. Stay retired in my opinion cause your old and won't help a team much. This time its to the Vikings he just had to wait for Training camp to end caus ehe didn;t want to go so that will hurt the team chemestry and Sage Rosenfells is mad cause he now dosn't get to start.
