Trout was scratched from the lineup for tonight's game against Houston due to a wrist injury he suffered in the first inning of Sunday's game while diving for a fly ball. He went on to go 4/4 and hit a grand slam, so I don't know what the problem is. Reports say it(his wrist) was a little stiff...

How often does the 266th ranked player in the world get the largest picture on the cover of the PGA Tour site? Despite his ranking, and McIlroy and Spieth being the best golfers in the world over the last couple of years, Woods remains as the PGA's center of interest. Just go the PGA Tour site...

Point well taken on Smoltz and Biggio and yes I had forgotten some of Smoltz's accomplishments. I'm not here to advocate for Martinez, but I was just pointing out that his stats were not well below Smoltz's and with the exception of saves and post season, they were better. Smoltz pitched longer...

31!

I saw the announcement later this weekend also. I was going to post about it also, but was really busy this weekend. I don't know Don, Martinez had more wins, a better winning percentage, more K's, better ERA, and more Cy Young's than Smoltz. I'm not sure Smoltz was deserving at all, and I...

Yes! Trout with HR number 31. A Grand Slam! This guy is such an amazing player! Very good times in MLB. Trout today is 3/3, 2 HR's and 5 RBI and game is not over.

Trout, HR number 30, now leads MLB in HR's,(30), Runs, (73), and TB's, (222)!

Bumgarner gets his 11th win of the year and 78th of his young career. He also hit another HR. Number 3 on the season and is batting .256! Bumgarner has hit the most HR's (9) by a pitcher since 2012!

Right JL, whenever Tiger was coming up, many or most said that what Tiger did was greater than Nicklaus because they said the field was deeper and better, I disagree. I believe Tiger only had to deal with Mickelson and maybe Els. Mickelson and Els are the only players in Tiger's era with four or...

I can promise you that if I were fortunate enough to be a professional athlete attending the ESPY's, I would have either not attended or walked out just before Jenner was introduced! Christian music singer Natalie Grant recently showed the courage to walk out of last years Grammy Awards show...

Yes, what we are witnessing in Mike Trout is truly historic! I haven't studied every great 5 tool player, but I have looked at a lot of players stat wise and I can't think of any player, with the exception of AROID, who has done all the things Trout has done at such an early age. He's truly...

Woods has not won 5 titles in any Major. Only 4. 4 Masters and 4 PGA's to go with 3 British Opens and 3 US Opens. Jack's 18 Major's include, 6 Masters, 5 PGA's, 4 US Opens, and 3 British Opens and for good measure, he finished in second place 19 TIMES! For what it's worth, I don't...

Mike Trout wins the All Star Game MVP for the second year in a row becoming the first player to ever be named AS MVP back to back!

Mike Trout leads off and hits a HR in his first AB!

Cincinnati's Todd Frazier wins the All Star Homerun Derby over the Dodgers Joc Pederson! A lot more exciting format this year. The hitters were put on a 4 minute time limit. Hit as many HR's as you can in 4 minutes and then an extra 30 second bonus period.

Jordan Spieth and Dustin Johnson paired together for the first 2 rounds!

Jordan Spieth edges closer to the number 1 ranking. Now only 1.23 pts. behind McIlroy. I don't think he has to win the British Open to take over the top spot, but would probably have to finish in the top 2 or 3. 1. McIlroy, 12.52 2. Spieth, 11.29 3. Watson, 7.21 4. Johnson, 6.66 5...

Good stuff JL, thanks for getting the Open thread started! No doubt who I'll be pulling for, that would be Spieth! I've been saying it for the last couple of years, I want someone to come along and rival Woods or even pass him, whether it was Rory, Spieth, or whoever. It seemed to me over the...

After honoring his commitment to play the John Deere, he wins it! Now he goes on to The British Open! As Don said, there's no words to describe this young man. However, it would be incredible to see him win next week and take over as the number 1 player in the world. Although with the win at...

After shooting an even par 71 and a T-101 after the first round of The John Deere on Thursday, Jordan Spieth shoots 64 Friday and a 61 today to vault to -17 and the lead going into Sunday's final round. Whether he wins or not, he is deserving of all that's coming his way. From honoring his...

Welcome to CF Dwight Mansburden! If you like Mike Trout and numbers go to the Mike Trout/Ken Griffey Jr. at 1600 thread. Says a lot about where Trout stands against one of the so-called greatest 5 tool players ever!
