If a team hits me with a pitch 24 times in my career, I’m gonna be pissed off. As always, it’s Brewers til I die. But two things can be true.
I also sneaky love the old school spikes-up slide as a retaliation. Middle infielders gotta know it’s about to happen too, which is why Hamilton didn’t really respond.
I love old school rivalry stuff - it’s what makes sports great!
Me at about 4:30PM EST this Thursday staring down at my mess of a bracket and all my busted parlays, watching Lisa from accounting celebrate picking the first 8 games correctly
Tom Kim’s clutch hole in one proves something:
Team golf can work.
And needs to exist. It’s so awesome.
Real team golf, not the fake LIV “add up our scores” team golf.
We need teammates playing together. Best ball and alternate shot.
This isn’t a time to bicker over the Battle of the Tours. This is the time to appreciate a truly remarkable story of perseverance.
Anthony Kim was one of my favorite players as a kid. Then he disappeared and re-emerged more than a decade later looking like a completely different person. Today he's showing us that DOG is still in there. Big time.
Anthony Kim’s impressive comeback today meant he got to fulfill a dream of having his daughter and wife run onto the green to celebrate with him.
He spoke about what it meant after the victory in Adelaide:
“Best moment of my life so far.
“Obviously when Bella was born, Emily and my life changed. But to be able to share this moment, even though Bella won't understand it, one day she will, and for her to be able to run on the green and see her dad isn't a loser was one of the most special moments of my life.”
AK’s story is well publicised. His battles with mental health and addiction led him into some deep, dark holes. But his return to glory is one of the greatest comebacks the sport has ever seen. So, what will he tell his daughter about his journey?
“I will tell her that before she came into this world that I didn't feel any purpose in my life. Whether you have a lot of money, whether you have a lot of success in your life, you still can feel lonely and feel like the world is against you, and that's in your own mind because I had a lot of people rooting for me. Obviously you saw out there how many people were rooting for me.
“But I just want her to know that no matter how bad your day is, if you keep fighting, you never lose.
“Hopefully she takes that with her for the rest of her life.”
And now that AK has won again, how is he planning to celebrate?
“I might actually watch the movie "Frozen." I don't know, man. I didn't plan this far. I planned to be contending to win golf tournaments, but I haven't gotten this far.
“But I'm going to enjoy my time here in Australia. We're going to be here for two more days and we're going to go see the kangaroos and the koalas, maybe some giraffes. So that's my fun.”
AK’s comeback after struggles with mental health and addiction is a truly incredible story that will resonate with a lot of people. Especially with how the birth of his daughter has helped give him purpose in life.
His play on the golf course today was inspiring, but his transformation off it is even more so.
Mad respect 🫡

Think about this.
LIV signed:
Dustin Johnson
Jon Rahm
Cam Smith
Pat Reed
Brooks Koepka
Bryson DeChambeau
Joaquin Neimann
And yet the internet never once has talked about LIV like today.
14 years later, Anthony Kim is still the needle. Amazing.
If you entered the Grammys illegally, do you think you'd be waved in, offered a seat at a table and a glass of champagne? No, you'd be forcibly ejected by burly security guards.
Fuck these hypocrites.
