On Sunday Padraig Harrington won the 2007 British Open, or rather Sergio Garcia choked it away. Afterwards Garcia said "It's not the first time. It's not the first time, unfortunately. So, I don't know, I'm playing against a lot of guys out there, more than the field." While I can't agree that outside forces are out to get Sergio we can all agree on the fact that this isn't his first choke job. There are rumors that Heimlich maneuver sponsors are offering him a lifetime contract. And Greg Norman just called Sergio to tell him to **** about bad breaks. Sergio's next excuse? "My dog ate my putter."

Speaking of endorsements, Michael Vick jerseys have dropped from 4th highest in the NFL to 33rd. Fans have scattered quicker than when Kobayashi had a "reversal of fortune" in the 4th of July Hot Dog contest. Ironically enough the only company willing to endorse Michael Vick is Jimbo's Doghouses, fitting because noone currently is in the doghouse more than Vick.

Barry Bond's pursuit of Hank Aaron's home run record has gone on longer than the god awful "Who's Now?" competition on ESPN. When Bonds breaks the record teammates have decided that instead of carrying Bonds on their shoulders they will hold his head off the ground as he runs around the bases. Seriously, I'd carve a pumpkin for Halloween to look like Bonds' face but I can't find a gourd big enough. To be honest, if Bonds continues his current drought then Bud Selig may have to save face and push Barry's wheelchair around the basepath when he finally breaks the record in 2020.

(Funny sidenote, my cousin's kid for Halloween last year was a modern era baseball player. He had fake muscles in his shirt and a syringe taped to his butt.)

The New York Yankees and their fans have awakened from their early season coma, taking advantage of the weakest teams in the AL. While there is reason for excitement (any sign of life in the Yanks is reason for excitement at this point) I would advise George Steinbrenner to spend some money purchasing copies of the New York Times for all his fans so they can look at the standings. As of today the Sox are ahead by 7 and 1/2 games, the largest gap of any division leader. The owners of the Six Flags Theme Park are in works to make a rollercoaster called the New York Yankees experience. Sadly you must have a 50 million dollar contract to ride.

Again with The Yankees, AdamLee? Tisk, tisk.

July 23, 2007  06:59 PM ET

Sorry man, they're just so easy to make jokes about. haha

July 23, 2007  07:02 PM ET

After watching the final round of the Britisah I don't think Garcia choked it away.

July 23, 2007  07:05 PM ET

Constant Yankees jabs=turn-off. Turn-ons include pina coladas, and getting caught in the rain.

July 23, 2007  07:15 PM ET

Sergio gave it up, then blamed the trap rakin' kid. Whine, whine, whine. He had lunch with TO today. They had fun.

great blog adam except for you bashin my poor yankees lol

July 23, 2007  07:58 PM ET

great blog and garcia should blame himself not other people for his problems

July 23, 2007  08:10 PM ET

Good blog again AdamLee

July 23, 2007  08:54 PM ET

Yay Yankees jabs. I watched the British Open with my godfather, an avid godfather, and we were disappointed to see Sergio lose, but I was happy to see a fellow Irishman claim the title.

July 23, 2007  09:11 PM ET

I promise my next set of anecdotes will have no Yankees bashing. haha

July 23, 2007  09:56 PM ET

I could probably think of a less tasteful joke to use concerning Michael Vick's endorsement with Jimbo's Doghouses.

July 23, 2007  09:57 PM ET

But good blog overall. Especially the Yankee-bashing. Let's see more of that.

July 23, 2007  11:25 PM ET

When I say Vick is in the doghouse I didn't mean it as a literal joke about him killing dogs. I meant he is in peoples' bad graces. Sorry if that was confusing.

July 24, 2007  03:34 PM ET

ive given up on yankees fans theyre in first place no matter what the standings are

July 24, 2007  07:52 PM ET

Sergio can not blame someone else for his mistakes and he should shut-up

July 25, 2007  02:58 PM ET

How about you put a warning up there saying "YANKEE BASHING", so the Yankee fans won't come next time, that way no one's offended, because they haven't seen it.

July 25, 2007  05:17 PM ET

I made fun of the Red Sox in the other volume. I am an equal opportunity joker.
