@YahooSports @TaylorTwellman Remember that 9 subs started this game. We don't know how 2-3 of those guys would fit in alongside a bunch of starters, only that they couldn't get the job done with a team full of subs. Depth quality still uncertain, though.

I understand that the wind is up and this U.S. Open golf course is tough and tricky ... but my gosh, so many terrible shots by great players today. 15-foot putts that come up 5 feet short, approach shots that are 15-20 yards wide of the flag. Like they all forgot how to play.

@Steveonbaseball My rooting interest in baseball was over by the end of May last year. Think the O's can still be playing baseball that matters in late June or am I resigned to another year of disappointment?

[Tom White @tomwhite82]

@realhuntdog23 @DanWolken Asking a guy how close his good round to being a great round is fair. He missed at least four mid-range putts that would have turned 65 into something spectacular.

@sportswcoleman When does this become an organizational problem and not a player problem?

[Tom White @tomwhite82]

@Steveonbaseball So frustrating. Just read Jeff Passan’s book “The Arm.” Fascinating how perplexing arm injuries are.

[Tom White @tomwhite82]

The lack of precision by the #usmnt is evident whenever it plays a quality opponent. What we lack is easy to see because the opponent shows us. Frustrating to watch.

[Tom White @tomwhite82]

@USMNT No pride, no urgency, just complacency from this team. Trying to find a reason to get excited about the World Cup, so give us some reason to do so. Anything!

[Tom White @tomwhite82]

We're supposed to have a world-class team. Yet, when we face real teams with real world-class talent, this is what we get. Help me understand why we should be leaning toward optimism as we head toward the World Cup? #usmnt

@DaveScarangella Chinese?

[Tom White @tomwhite82]

@jareddiamond Unless you think money doesn't buy talent, you have to look at the huge gap in spending between groups of teams and agree that their ability to compete has to be minimized. They have no room for error or injury and have to get lucky with a cheap FA signing or three.

[Tom White @tomwhite82]

Quite intrigued by the Cosby trade the #Ravens made. Really good player added to the fold. But I need some understanding what else they're doing. By my count, the lost six players today and added one, a guard (Simpson). We need some contributors.

[Tom White @tomwhite82]

@NickCRadio I’d swear ref on the other side was trying to reach for his flag twice for PI, couldn’t get it out and just waived incomplete.

[Tom White @tomwhite82]

@jeffzrebiec That's the good news. Bad news is that you have 10 points. That kind of run game should have produced more at this point.

[Tom White @tomwhite82]

@jonas_shaffer Does Harbaugh know that you can’t take timeouts into the second half?

[Tom White @tomwhite82]

@sportswcoleman So what defensive scheme calls for both the guy who scored the TD and the slot receiver to be WIDE OPEN? Look at the replay. Slot guy goes straight upfield, raises his arm because nobody is on him.

[Tom White @tomwhite82]

@MikePrestonSun And just to make sure we don't get too excited, they have to toss in a pissed PAT. This is just a majorly flawed football team right now.

[Tom White @tomwhite82]

@MikePrestonSun Teams are seeing the same thing we are: He's reluctant to run and when he does, he's not nearly as dangerous as in the past.

[Tom White @tomwhite82]

@MarkMaske And if you're going to eliminate ND based on an August 3-point loss AT Miami, why not slam the Tide for losing by 14 POINTS to an awful FSU team also in August. Worst loss among the CFP contending teams, I believe.
