Two days into the U.S. Open at Oakmont it’s Angel Cabrera hanging on to a oh-so-slim lead, and only three of my boys in my pool are still alive, having made the cut. I knew Sergio Garcia (79-75=154) was going to break my heart, but not THIS bad – now I’m going to have to hunt him down so I can break his face :-). Trevor Immelmann did me no favors as well, following up a respectable 73 with a gawdawful 79 – Trevor, what the $#@!? And my main man Padraig Harrington – who, BTW, I was convinced was going to take it this year – also had a horrendous 2nd round, shooting a whopping 80.

Fortunately, I have three lovely lad still in the thick of it – Aaron Baddeley, who’s one shot back at even par, Geoff Ogilvy, 6 back at +5, and Vijay Singh, who’s 8 back at +7. Needless to say, if Vijay has ANY love in his bones for The Great White Shank, he’ll stop screwing around and start playing some golf. Yoo-hoo, Vijay – this is a major you’re playing, right dude?

One final note on Sergio: Yahoo! Sports golf writer Michael Arkush has a column today saying Sergio has failed to live up to his promise. Duh, Michael – ya think? Some genius you are.

Tomorrow I’ll be playing a little golf on my own with fellow Goodboy Steve “Killer” Kowalski and watching plenty of Open coverage. My first day off in four weeks, and I’m all over that, baby!
