LynchyRightNow: Shhh; It's Time To Keep It Real!
I needed a reason to bring back Keep It Real Friday. If you were giving it up to pay your catholic dues of Lent, Easter is over and Jesus has been resurrected, Tiger just shot a 68 on Day 1 at Augusta. Time to Keep It Real!
Are you kidding me?!? Miss the cut?!?!? As the immortal Tiger Woods returns (yes, I'm a tad over the top) to his proper seat, amongst golfers not the tabloids, I'm pulling for him. That's right housewives we don't care about your demographic. Watching Tiger literally plow through his best Day 1 score in his 16 trips to August, I'm all in. Let's get one thing straight, we (the general public) don't watch golf for the splendor, for the elegance, for the beautiful tee shots, we (the general public) are watching for Eldrick. We're either praying for a disaster or hoping we witness the "it" moment of 2010. Because believe you me, the disappointment of a SundayLESS Tiger, none of us want to see. Want him to get beat in a playoff hole? Want him to shred up the field? Want him to pump his fist at 18? Want him to slide on a green jacket with no one by his side? You still want him. For now, Tiger Woods is both the gift and the curse of sports. His star, big enough to draw monster numbers on Day 1, on a work day to boot, of a golf tournament? His star, big enough to sideline discussions about the best National Championship game college basketball has seen, which took place less than five days ago. Overshadow Sox v. Yanks? You bet. Keep It Real housewives, you want Tiger Woods as well.
Sox & Yank'ed out! After three games to open up the 2010 MLB season, I'm a little tired of the all hands on deck, guns fully loaded, earth rattling Red Sox v. Yankees regular season series. The two franchises, both baseball and professional sports royalty, are playing entirely to often, taking entirely too long, and after an explosive last six seasons, I'm spent. I've got some theories on this, after watching those ALCS battles in 2003 and 2004, can anything still compare? The Red Sox had a personality and the Yankees still had Bernie Williams. The walk off hits, the brawls, the Pedro Martinez type, these are the things missing from this rivalry, but would any of that make me want this more? Probably not. What is left to hype? The two teams spend more and spend more wisely than any franchise in baseball. Your home-grown talent, becomes their coveted free-agent. Their championship model, becomes yours, except with less resources. After watching 3 games of Sox v. Yankees, how are you supposed to then watch Braves v. Cubs? You won't see Beckett v. Sabathia, you won't see Papelbon leaning in against Jeter, you won't see Pedroia, Youkilis, or Granderson. Keep It Real! The Yankees v. Sox may be the best rivalry in sports, but in many little ways, it's slowly ruining baseball for the entire league,. and me!
