Gooooooooooooood morning!

Tom (West Bloomfield, MI)

Starting today's MB with Eric Clapton.

Eric (Chicago)

Morning Nation, Happy Tuesday and congrats to Bryce Harper...Cubs - what the hell was that?

B (Boston)

Happy Strasburg Day. One more day against AAA hitting. Beginning with The Birthday Party.

Neal (Philly)

Since today is relationship Tuesday, why do all the women I tend to go out with say one thing and do another? They're like politicians.

Vicki (Indiana)

There's reports saying that Bill Polian is confident the Colts will re-sign Peyton Manning. He'd better be. If Manning doesn't and signs with another team, Indianapolis will riot.

SteveFitz (Cicero, IL)

Morning nation. Go Hawks!!! Impressive chat lineup today buzz.

Neal (Philly)

Morning Buzz.

Tom (NM)

Gooood Mooorrrning Buzz, perhaps a little Stasburg baseball tonight then NBA basketball for you?

Andy (Olathe, KS)

GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOD MORNING!!! Rain here is putting a damper on my day. Getting really worried that my Jayhawks will be left out of a major conference. Ready for some inane conversation to distract me from that and the pile of work I need to do today.

Mike (Atlanta)

So todays gonna be my last chat for a while. Tomorrow morning ill be heading to Orlando to start my life! just a boy, with a dream, looking for a job, apartment and pants! (really nervous about the pants)

Joey (DC)

I'd like to thank the 10 car pile up on I-95 for my 2 hour commute this morning.

Matt (IN) [via mobile]

Good morning all. Let Strasburg mania begin.

jeremy (Va) [via mobile]

Good morning Buzz and MBer's. Waiting on a materials package so I figured I'd waste some time in here.

Tom (West Bloomfield, MI)

Having previously lived there for three years, I can conclusively say this: There's would be no riot like an Indianapolis riot.

Scott (Brewtown)

Good wet chilly morning.

Clinton (Indianapolis)

Good morning, folks! Hope everyone's having a good one so far.

Neal (Philly)

Strasburg is still facing a AAA team today.

Robbi (Clinton, Ky)

Good morning. How are you?

Clinton (Indianapolis)

For as much grief as we give you, Mike, we'd still like to say good luck. We're all counting on you.

Captain Morgan (Bahamas)

Calling all Captains!!!

Vicki (Indiana)

The Pirates might as well forfeit.

Matt (IN) [via mobile]

Waste of a story. Manning will never hit the open market.

Eric (Chicago)

I'm gonna take a shot in the dark and even though it's the Pirates, Strasburg doesn't get thru 5 IP today. Gives up 4 as well.

Robbi (Clinton, Ky)

It was a good night for grilling. Lemon pepper chicken breast and cabbage. Grilled cabbage is really good.

Louis (Fredericton, NB)

Polian can say whatever he wants, we all know he's never gonna let Manning hit the market, he'll franchise the guy if he can't do better.

Marc (Charlotte)

I was gonna take a cheap shot at Mike, but decided against.

David (Ottawa)

Gooooood morning TMB. The boss just came, told me a long winded joke and then said "I forget the punchline". Ladies and Gentlemen, the Government of Canada!

Tom (West Bloomfield, MI)

Mike: The Goofy costume you'll be wearing in Orlando should come with pants. Good thing you weren't hired to play Donald Duck.

Mike (Atlanta)

thanks clinton. and in advance i wanna apologize for letting you down...

Mark Mangino (Subway)

Free Subway breakfast sandwiches this morning. Good luck taking them from my cold dead hands.

Josh (Lincoln, NE)

Captain sounds kinda good right now.

Brian (Madison, WI)

Today is pretty much my Monday.....BOOOO!!

Brian (Richmond, Ky.)

Is there any professional draft that has less importance to future production than the MLB Draft?

Buzzmaster

  (10:07 AM)

NHL is close.

David (Ottawa)

Not even going to get into realationship issues, but Neal, all I'll say to you is that women never know what they want. Say one thing, mean another. Tell you one thing, then snicker with their friends in the corner the next minute. I'm not bitter or anything.

Robbi (Clinton, Ky)

Stop being so pathetic Mike. You can do better.

Scott (Indy)

Good Luck, Mike. Stop in any time. You can always join the ONB gang. There seems to be a lot of pantless people in there, anyhow.

Marc (Charlotte)

Best of luck Mike. Glad you decided to become a productive member of society.

Andy (Olathe, KS)

On the topic of moving, I'm happy to report that my landlord is being a real stand up guy and fixing all the crap that was wrong with my new place. The wife is happy.

Matt (IN) [via mobile]

How would Strasburg fare against Manatee CC? That's the important question.

Clinton (Indianapolis)

There was a story not too long ago about Manning telling some elementary school kids that he couldn't imagine not being a Colt. While I know he's just blowing smoke up the kids' behinds, there's no way in hell Polian is going to let him even get a whiff of free agency.

B (Boston)

Anything less than a perfect game with 26 strikeouts and only 88 pitches (84 for strikes) will be a disappointment for Strasburg. But no pressure, kid.

Eric (Chicago)

Upper Class, Middle Class, Lower Class, Pantless Class...the 4 classes of the world.

Scott (Brewtown)

Pants on the ground, pants on the ground....

Mike (Atlanta)

no its not buzz. Caps got ovechkin in the nhl draft and turned that franchise around.

Buzzmaster

  (10:10 AM)

And the Islanders selected Rick DiPietro.

B (Boston)

Tomorrow is my Friday....canigetawhawha??

Vicki (Indiana)

You never hear of the NHL draft

Robbi (Clinton, Ky)

I made some Bloody Marys last night as well. Clamato juice is the only way to go.

Tom (Lakeview)

When I got home last night, I bought a Subway sandwich for dinner, and when I turned on the news, they were talking about a salmonella outbreak at Subways in Illinois. Awesome.

Andy (Olathe, KS)

man, how is it that I miss out on all the free food at these places. Is there a website or something that links to all the places that are giving away free food?

Buzzmaster

  (10:10 AM)

There should be.

jill (norman)

Will you keep in touch, Mike?

Tom (NM)

I wish the Big10 and Pac10 would hurry up and start the process of expansion or get off the pot. Enough already.

Greg (Ellicott City)

Happy Strasburg Day~

aaron (oregon)

how bout BRYCE HARPER?

Awayne (INDY)

This just in LeBron James shocks the world and signs with.........The Harlem Globetrotters.

Tom (West Bloomfield, MI)

We haven't had an overhyped baseball prospect epic fail for a while. I miss the days of Todd Van Poppel and Brien Taylor.

Buzzmaster

  (10:11 AM)

Don't forget Mark Prior and Corey Patterson and Felix Pie.

Robbi (Clinton, Ky)

I know exactly what I want David. Money and lots of it!

Eric (Chicago)

Toews and Kane boys...all products of the draft boys

Buzzmaster

  (10:13 AM)

Yeah, and so are Curt Schilling, Randy Johnson, Alex Rodriguez, Derek Jeter, Joe Mauer.

Alexandre Daigle (On the couch)

I agree. The NHL Entry Draft is meaningless to future production.

Clinton (Indianapolis)

Not to mention that MLB draft is a total crapshoot anyway. Example: Pujols was a 13th-rounder.

Brian (Richmond, Ky.)

Buzz: also Pete Harnisch, Jason Isringhausen (starter edition), Koby Clemens...

Corey Patterson (via mobile)

Dude, I'm still in the big leagues. Ok, I play for the Orioles and while technically they aren't a big league team, I'm still in the majors. Suck on that, fatty

Louis (Fredericton, NB)

Mark Prior showed a lot of talent. Scouts can not predicts that Dusty will overuse the guy until he breaks.

Mike (Atlanta)

jill:I'm sure ill pop in from time to time. But won't be an everyday thing anymore. gonna have to get a job, find an apartment then school starts in the fall. Im excited to have a life again.

David (Ottawa)

Bryce Harper = JuCo player using a metal bat. still only hit 29 dingers. Not really the LBJ of baseball in my books seeing as LBJ probably would have been a level higher then JuCo. Do I know why Harper was in JuCo? No. Is it possible there is a reason for it, and that he couldn't play anywhere else? probably. But its still JuCo.

Buzzmaster

  (10:16 AM)

He went to JuCo because he basically left high school, got his GED and JuCo was the easiest route to the draft. Obviously, his plan worked.

Tom (NM)

3 days between games in LA but only 2 days from LA to Boston, don't try to figure out the NBA schedule

Tom (West Bloomfield, MI)

But Prior, Patterson and Pie weren't epic failures like Van Poppel and Taylor. Except for Prior, they weren't NEARLY as hyped, and Prior actually did SOMETHING before repeatedly injuring himself.

Tom (West Bloomfield, MI)

Actually, David, Bryce Harper is in a wooden bat JuCo league.

Greg (Boston)

I miss the days when the only baseball chat in here was kevin from Manassas daily Cubbie delusions

Godish (Chicago)

But Prior's calves were so strong....

Jason (Tampa)

Is it really that time consuming to have a replay umpire, only to wtach the game and replays from a booth and reject bad calls over the PA system? Even commentators can make the right calls after 20 seconds of a bad call.

B (Boston)

HA, Corey. I was just having a conversation over the wknd about how half the O's roster are guys I thought had retired.

Clinton (Indianapolis) [via mobile]

Corey seems a bit bitter. I guess being on the worst team in baseball will do that to you.

Pete (NC)

To be fair, the MLB draft has 5,328 rounds, so there is bound to be a couple of duds in that class.

Tom (Lakeview)

Isn't that true of every draft? The NBA/NFL drafts haven't been all that great either.

Buzzmaster

  (10:18 AM)

Yes, but if we pick out the one or two stars that come out of each draft, we can prove whatever point we're trying tomake.

Louis (Fredericton, NB)

Both drafts can be crapshoot. Pavel Datsyuk was drafted in the 6th round, over 200 players were drafted before Daniel Alfredsson and Jaroslav Halak was a 7th round pick.

jeremy (Va) [via mobile]

I tend to attract the women that tell me what they mean and what they want, which in turn freaks me out.

Awayne (INDY)

Didn't Mike Piazza go in like the 53rd round.

Nate (Madison)

Yuck, I'm late. Lost track of time while actually doing some work.

Marc (Big D)

Harper used wood bats and the juco league was far superior to any competition he would have faced his last 2 years of HS. That said, none of it is relevant to his future performance.

David (Ottawa)

Well that goes to show you how much I know about JuCo baseball.

Buzzmaster

  (10:19 AM)

You might be able to replace JuCo baseball with other things.

Josh (Lincoln, NE)

Actually it was a wooden bat league, David. The previous record for home runs where Harper played was 12. Pretty damn impressive.

Jason (Tampa)

I like Bryce Harper's Face paint. Please bring that to the majors

Andy (Olathe, KS)

Baseball has like 50 rounds in the draft. Lots of players will be taken, and they get so much development in the minors anyway, it's hard to say that drafting really affects team success.

jeremy (Va) [via mobile]

How long will it take for Bryce Harper to actual play in the big leauges?... I throw up in my mouth a little while writing this sports question.

Matt (IN) [via mobile]

I always thought Felix Pie should be Felix Pie, as in Hayden's favorite food, rather than "Pee-ay"

David (Ottawa)

so 17, hit 29 HR's in 62 games with a wooden bat? I take back my statement.

Shane (Philly)

why is it that everybody is freaking out about the Phillies slump....they are 30-26 which is about .500 and history shows us that they are a team that plus it out in the later months of the season so why is everybody freaking out now....my advice enjoy the flyers while they are on start to talk Eagles because for those who dont know football is only about 3 months out and pick back up with the phillies in a couple of months when they are back to the way they should be playing

Josh (Lincoln, NE)

Keith Law says 3 years is a probable timeline for Harper.

David (Ottawa)

Buzz is just hatin' cause he is hungry. It's ok fat man, I don't take your insults to heart.

Marc (Big D)

Bottom line, betting on the future of 17-18 year old kids is a volatile and probably foolish enterprise.

Louis (Fredericton, NB)

Does it matter that much if he played against top competition? My take is that he's gonna see some time in AA or AAA anyway. He'll face good players there.

Matt (IN) [via mobile]

Don Mattingly was a late draft pick too. 20-something as I recall. He turned out ok.

Brad (NJ)

Baseball fans would be better off ignoring the media hype and just let the players play and not annoint them a super star or greatest status

Buzzmaster

  (10:21 AM)

Yeah right. Then what will we talk about?

Jason (Tampa)

Looks better than the face paint on pirate mustaches

Brian (Richmond, Ky.)

Enough of the baseball talk... we've got a World Cup to ignore!

Buzzmaster

  (10:23 AM)

I'm getting pumped for the World Cup. Gonna be fun.

Louis (Fredericton, NB)

The good thing about the MLB draft is that it happens during the season. I like that. It beats other sports trying to get me interested during the offseason

Robbi (Clinton, Ky)

Probably about where LBJ is going to go. That's talked about several times a day.

Marc (Big D)

This is getting too sports-focused. What kind of pop tarts do we think Harper likes?

Nate (Madison)

Zzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Clinton (Indianapolis) [via mobile]

Buzz, my coffee cup's on E. How about some ONB?

Buzzmaster

  (10:24 AM)

Let's do it....

Matt (Miami)

Who ends the season on top of the NL West?

Jared (Ohio)

Will Bryce Harper play in the bigs by the 2011 season?

Mark Funkybunch (Boston)

Buzz, you feel the vibrations?

Quentin (Green Bay)

Eric, don't do anything stupid. If I have to, I WILL rant at you again, and you wouldn't want that.

weiner (san fran)

lets talk mma

Eli513jay (cincinnati)

Watch out for RAY ALLEN YA DIGG!!!!!!!!

kevin (buffalo ny)

Zach Rastall (Marinette, WI)

Enjoy Tuesday's and Wednesday's chats because after that, the good times are coming to a screeching halt.

Jeremy (Sheboygan,Wisconsin)

J.B. (Dunmore, PA)

Back-to-back ONBs for me and I'm not liking it. Meeting scheduled right in the middle of the chat. Just wanted to pop in to say hello and I hope anyone watching Game 3 of the NBA Playoffs tonight enjoys it and can manage to stay awake long enough to see the finish. Barring any unusual circumstances, I'm back tomorrow. Until then, get out, have some fun, and stay safe. Peace.

And that's it...

jill (norman)

World Cup---now we're talking sports.

Steve (Austin, TX)

Did you see the dudes in Liverpool burning the US Flag? That will fire up some US fans.

Marc (Big D)

It will be amusing if we beat England. Talk about ripping the soul out of a country.

Tom (Lakeview)

The World Cup is going to be great. I am slightly concerned about that buzzing horn thing the South Africans use during games. It may make me insane.

Joey (DC)

I'm not gonna lie. I'm excited for June 12th.

George Steinbrenner (NYC)

I thought I told you to trim those sideburns Mattingly!

Jason (Tampa)

Yea same, world cup is gonna be insane. All the bars filled with people, beer, food... and tv's with dudes kicking some round thing

Josh (Lincoln, NE)

If we beat England, that country will melt down worse than Philadelphia.

David (Ottawa)

Is Rastall trying to tell us he is coming back? Pulse.

Louis (Fredericton, NB)

Mark funkybunch?? That's a fail.

Robbi (Clinton, Ky)

What is Rastall talking about? I'm worried.

David (Ottawa)

I love how Americans get all hyped up for the World Cup, and then go back to ignoring soccer for 4 years.

Pat - NJ [via mobile]

Not true Marc. Any gamble can be fruitful. It all depends on the odds you get on the bet versus the likelihood of winning the bet. In this case Harper will cost in the millions and has a strong chance to provide significantly more value than that to the Nats organization.

Tom (Lakeview)

Michael Davies said on the BS Report that it would have been more acceptable for England to lose the Falklands War to Argentina than for England to lose to the US on Saturday.

Tom (NM)

Take that King George.....er, wrong century

Taylor (Philadelphia)

it wont matter because its not single elimination

Clay (Charlotte)

Buzzard...got here at 2 am from NYC, back at work at 8, don't tell me I'm not a great employee.

Matt Leinhart (Arizona)

Can you believe it. There are some dunderheads that think Eli is better than Mark. Yeah I saw the polls and the polls lie. Mark is the next Brett

Tom (NM)

When I lived in Germany I tried to play soccer but the german kids kept kicking me in the shins. God I hate soccer.

fred (omaha)

buzz we're gonna slap those red coats back to england, down with queen elizabeth

B (Boston)

Hey, David, c'mon, we pretended curling was cool for a month already. We can only do so much here in the lower 48.

Louis (Fredericton, NB)

David, that's the fun of it. It's like the Olympics, it's a welcome change from regular sports league.

Tom (West Bloomfield, MI)

Not all Americans are hyped up by the World Cup. I understand it's appealing to some, but personally, I'll pass.

Clinton (Indianapolis) [via mobile]

Not all of us, David. Some of us do watch the Premier League/Champions League/Euro championship.

Buzzmaster

  (10:32 AM)

Just talked to Joe Morgan. We've moved his chat to Wednesday.

Clinton (Indianapolis) [via mobile]

Actually, Taylor, it does matter, because you need all the points you can get to advance out of the group stage. FAIL.

Neal (Philly)

Leinart parties so much he can't even spell his own name.

Louis (Fredericton, NB)

What? Curling is not cool anymore? So I bought all those brooms for nothing...

Nate (Madison)

I'm with Tom, I could careless about the World Cup. I might watch the very last match, the championship but will probably just involve a drinking game so I can bare it.

Pete (NC)

World Cup excitement = Olympics excitement. I don't follow swimming or track and field the 3 years in between the Olympics, do you?

Robbi (Clinton, Ky)

It will only be fun if the USA wins.

Ben (NC)

Buzz you're such a name dropper.

David (Ottawa)

Fair enough, some of the US knows soccer. But even I couldn't fool myself into watching curling. But I disagree about the Olympics comparison. If the world cup had 13 different types of soccer going on (blindfolded soccer? hands-only soccer?) then we'd be in business.

Jason (Tampa)

Lets have a Johannasburg Tea Party. Sike out those brits

Scott Boras (Hades)

Bryce Harper contract demands include free passes to Disney World, the planet Mercury, unlimited gas card, and a charcoal grill. This is in addition to $48 million signing bonus.

Andy (Olathe, KS)

I love most sports. Give me a cricket or soccer match any day.

David (Ottawa)

I defnitly follow track. Asafa Powell ran a 9.72 last weekend.

jill (norman)

I was excited about Beckham until I found out he's what's left over.

Tom (Lakeview)

Taylor is somewhat right. The US and England are favorites in the group, so what they do against the other two teams is more important than what they do against each other.

B (Boston)

Buzz, what in the name of trey wingo did you do at 1PM??

Buzzmaster

  (10:35 AM)

We're backed up like a traffic jam.

Tom (West Bloomfield, MI)

Okay, "You Know My Name (Look Up The Number)" is officially the craziest Beatles song. If Christian were around, he'd understand this post.

Louis (Fredericton, NB)

Don't know about the planet, but I could easily get him a used '88 mercury topaz

Mike (Atlanta)

I would take the unlimited gas card before the $48 million

Andy (Olathe, KS)

Blindfolded soccer sounds like fun. Kind of like competitive Marco Polo...

Brian (Madison, WI)

Nate and I will be bringing back our World Cup drinking game and I will actually win this year.

Joey (DC)

10 car pile up.... 10 cars. No Ice. How does that happen!

Nate (Madison)

I'll tell you what's worse than watching the soccer....talking about it in the MB.

SteveFitz (Cicero, IL)

I hate phoen calls that make me miss 30 minutes of the chat. Ugh, what did I miss?

Robbi (Clinton, Ky)

Did you get your lunch yesterday Buzz?

Buzzmaster

  (10:37 AM)

I did. Wasn't feeling any of the specials they had there, so I just went with a standard sandwich. Not bad.

Sgt. Slaughter (Camp)

How can you maggots not at least be pumped for US vs England? I don't care if you don't watch any other match. It's against England for crying out loud. Let's beat their crooked teeth in.

Brian (Madison, WI)

I'm hosting a golf outing where I make the groups. This year I picked from a hat to try and avoid whining about me playing favorites. The hat still resulted in whining. I hate people.

Nate (Madison)

Watching the soccer? Nice sentence structure, Nate......my god.

Buzzmaster

  (10:37 AM)

The Iraq and coutries such as.

Jessica Simpson (via mobile)

I think it is totally cool that the world has it's own cup. Like, does the winner get to drink out of it?

Clinton (Indianapolis) [via mobile]

Tom, it's second place on my list. Nothing can hold a candle to "Revolution 9."

jeremy (Va) [via mobile]

I get excited for the World Cup, then watch 5 minutes and remember that I dont like soccer.

tom* (parkville, md)

Regular Soccer = roughly 2 goals per game. Blindfolded Soccer = roughly 2 goals per decade.

Neal (Philly)

Joey, same thing happened on Saturday in Philly. It took my friend an hour and a half to meet me.

Buzzmaster

  (10:38 AM)

That's a dedicated friend. I would have said forget it and turned around.

jill (norman)

Brian, never volunteer and never run for office.

Mike (Atlanta)

speaking of traffic...I was driving to the goodwill yesterday, trying to make it before it closed, and i got stuck behind this busted up saturn. The car was moving extremely slow and swerving all over the road. Pull up next to it and sure enough its an old lady on the cell phone-Pure pulse.

Tom (West Bloomfield, MI)

Good call, Clinton. "Revolution 9" is right up there, too.

Josh (Lincoln, NE)

Buzz almost knocked that one out of the park, then he misspelled countries.

Marc (Charlotte)

Buzz, you ever seen Cake Boss on TLC? It's like Ace of Cakes meets the Jersey Shore.

Buzzmaster

  (10:39 AM)

No. But it sounds like a train wreck.

Matt (IN) [via mobile]

I am the walrus. That's a pretty weird one too.

Robbi (Clinton, Ky)

Why don't you do it like grade school Brain. Pick team captains and then line everybody up for the selection process?

Pat - NJ [via mobile]

A 9.72 isn't really that impressive from the antagonist in the Lion King...

Woody Harrelson (Hollywood)

Soccer's in my genes.

Brian (Madison, WI)

Volunteer work I can handle, running for office would never be in my future.

Vicki (Indiana)

Mike, try being stuck behind a slow-poke who's talking on a cell phone and smoking a cigarette while driving. I passed him as soon as i could because I thought for sure he was an accident waiting to happen

Brian (Madison, WI)

Team captains? I like it! I might have to do that for next year.

Marc (Charlotte)

No, it's great. There isn't any fistpumping.

Nate (Madison)

Robbi, because there has to be one good golfer on a team...two mediocre to horrible ones...then one girl on each team. Also couples aren't supposed to be paired up.

Chris Berman (in the booth)

And Buzz hits a long drive...back, back, back, and.....just foulllllllllll

Josh (Lincoln, NE)

I've done too many bad things to run for office. And probably made too many enemies.

Marc (Big D)

Wasn't the antagonist in the Lion King Scar?

David (Ottawa)

Nate, you mean you and yoga biscuit are going to be seperated for a whole day? Oh the humanity!

Tom (West Bloomfield, MI)

I have to make a pit stop. In case I'm not back for lunch chat, Lunch: Corn, crab and bacon chowder made by my wife. Outstanding work!

Awayne (INDY)

Brian it's golf so the pairings don't matter because someone is gonna lie so much about their score reguardless of who they play with.

jeremy (Va) [via mobile]

Cake Boss is... boss! *Rimshot*... I'll go stand in the corner now.

Damon (KY)

I like APPLES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Delino DeShields Sr (Retired)

Jr got drafted yesterday by the 'Stros. You're welcome everybody.

Buzzmaster

  (10:42 AM)

As long as he keeps his socks high and hits triples like his pops, I'm good.

Robbi (Clinton, Ky)

I call discrimation for the females in the group of golfers. What does it matter if they are male or female?

David (Ottawa)

I'll be running for office soon. And since I am a US citizen, I could be on of your governor's! TMBers have all the pull.

jill (norman)

How's that coming out of a hat?

Marc (Charlotte)

Mustafa was the dad.

Ace Ventura (via mobile)

Tom, in case youre not back in 5 minutes, we'll just wait longer.

B (Boston)

Stepped away from the desk, came back to my neighbor horrified because Dead Kennedy's "Police Truck" came on and it was a little loud.

Joey (DC)

About 70 yards off the tees.

Louis (Fredericton, NB)

I love DeShiels when he played for Montreal. He looked like he was on coke all the time though. That what happens when you hang out with Tim Raines.

Brian (Madison, WI)

Yoga biscuit is in my group so I'll get to see the Nate withdrawal symptoms.

Buzzmaster

  (10:44 AM)

What about Biscuit Biscuit?

Robbi (Clinton, Ky)

Your are going to be on my governor?

David (Ottawa)

Mufasa was the dad. Mustafa is the Old Spice guy.

Josh (Lincoln, NE)

I bet there'll be a lot of texting.

Bob (Lowell)

Brian, we just handicap everyone then have a blind draw for teams when we're done.

Robbi (Clinton, Ky)

Oh that was turrible...

Clinton (Indianapolis) [via mobile]

And there was Colonel Mustafa, who was one of Sgt. Slaughter's buddies when he turned Iraqi sympathizer.

Brian (Madison, WI)

Who is Biscuit Biscuit?

Buzzmaster

  (10:46 AM)

Didn't know how else to distinguish all y'alls biscuits out there. Too much pastry.

Brian (Madison, WI)

They don't make handicaps high enough for most of the people in this golf outing. Which is known as The Drunken Open if I haven't mentioned that before.

Robbi (Clinton, Ky)

Isn't that your new biscuit?

Nate (Madison)

Plus I'm fine with the group yoga is in, Brian and my other buddy. She got a fun group, so she'll have a good time.

Scott (Brewtown)

Seabiscuit's lesser known sibling.

jill (norman)

So if the game starts at 7:00 on the coast, it won't start till 9:00 here.

Robbi (Clinton, Ky)

I like a scramble, because it doesn't matter how awful I play.

Marc (Charlotte)

Well played, David.

Nate (Madison)

Whole day = 3-4 hours.

jeremy (Va) [via mobile]

This is going to sound bad and I'll probably be made fun of but that Old Spice Mustafa guy was on the Wendy Williams show a couple of days ago. Funny.

jill (norman)

All y'alls, please.

Marc (Big D)

If it is The Drunken Open, why do people care so much about teams?

Dipper Girl (Madison, WI)

Nothin says lovin like a pinch between your cheek and gum.

Brian (Madison, WI)

I'm not comfortable with my new biscuit being compared with Seabiscuit.

Pat - NJ [via mobile]

Probably. Who was Mufasa? That name just sounds evil...

Mike (Atlanta)

Its not 24 jill its a live event....

Brian (Madison, WI)

Exactly my point Marc!

Neal (Philly)

Brian, is your biscuit playing?

Nate (Madison)

Usually by the last couple holes I staggering around and swerving around in the cart.

Buzzmaster

  (10:48 AM)

This sounds like a safe place to be.

Robbi (Clinton, Ky)

Sound like the Mad Dog tourney to me.

B (Boston)

When I had to set groups it was mostly people who care about playing, people who weren't good but were ok, and the drunks. everyone was happy

fred (omaha)

buzz do i have to bring you lunch again today, you never did thank me for yesterday, some friend you are

Buzzmaster

  (10:49 AM)

Make a better sandwich next time then.

Andy (Olathe, KS)

I'd much rather be in Nate's cart than somewhere in the general vicinity of the cart. You guys should hire some designated drivers.

Brian (Madison, WI)

My biscuit is not attending and when did golf carts become basically exempt from drunk driving laws? I have seen some wasted people on golf carts and never heard of anyone getting a DUI on a golf course.

Nate (Madison)

One year it was on my birthday and I got to pick my group. Picked some of the more crazy people, by Hole 16 I just quit and rode in the cart because I kept swinging and missing.

Buzzmaster

  (10:50 AM)

I hope you guys aren't paying a lot to play in this event.

David (Ottawa)

Brian, is the new buscuit the bartender, the dipper or someone new? We have to attach an appropriate first name to the last name "biscuit" There are no McLovin's here.

Brian (Madison, WI)

I don't know about that Andy, last year Nate tipped over a golf cart and injured himself.

Matt damon (buzz mansion)

Fred, he never says thank you. No matter how good the sandwich is.

Clinton (Indianapolis) [via mobile]

Lunch: Turkey sandwich, chips, and a soda.

Josh (Lincoln, NE)

Because you're not on a public roadway, Brian.

Louis (Fredericton, NB)

You don't have to thank Fred. He probably sneaked into your house and use your food to prepare the sandwich anyway.

Joey (DC)

I'm pretty sure at my worst I could dodge a golf cart.

Pat [via mobile]

The dad wasn't the bad guy? I thought the whole point of that movie was how he made his kids grow up without a dad because he had to selfishly die..no?

Kevin (OH)

Ok, has anyone had the spicy chiken from Chic-Fil-A, need to know if it is a good choice or not

Tom (NM)

Diners, Drive-ins and Dives was all about barbeque over the weekend. A lot of great places for BBQ around the country.

Nate (Madison)

Designated driver for a golf cart on a golf course with basically no water and limited trees? No thanks. However I have my parents DD'ing me afterwords.

Pete (NC)

Anyone hear about the guy who took his gf on a hike and was going to propose at the top of the mountain, but before he could, his gf was struck by lightning and killed? Talk about wrong place at the wrong time.

Buzzmaster

  (10:52 AM)

No I didn't hear that. If that's a true story, it might be the worst story I've heard.

Louis (Fredericton, NB)

At your worst you could dodge a golf cart? At my worst I would probably be rolled over by the cart and that would not wake me up.

Nate (Madison)

Brian, put the bus away! That was early on when the cart tipped. We leaned out of the cart to snag a ball on a incline and my buddy slid down the seat (shifting all the weight) and over it went. We just tipped it back up and kept on going.

Scott (Brewtown)

Lunch: Turkey sandwich, chips and a granola bar.

Vicki (Indiana)

lunch: Penn Station is sounding really good right now

Neal (Philly)

Lunch: Chinese food again

jill (norman)

My aunt was once run over by a golf cart. They had to call the player assistant. I've always wondered what he did.

Andy (Olathe, KS)

Brian, golf courses are private property, so technically, the cops have no jurisdiction for traffic violations.

Mike (Atlanta)

lunch: mom took my car today cause she needed the extra trunk space. Eating left overs from yesterdays dinner. Chicken and potatoes.

Clinton (Indianapolis) [via mobile]

Pat, I don't think it's possible to have missed the point of the Lion King any worse than you just did. Might want to go rewatch it.

David (Ottawa)

Wow Pat. Wow. Seeing as Scar (the uncle) killed Mufasa (the dad) and then convinced Simba (the son) that it was his fault his father died...I think you missed the point of a movie intended for children. Outstanding work!

Robbi (Clinton, Ky)

You get a shot of Mad Dog at each hole, and guys are driving around with carts full of beer to give everybody one when they run out. You know, they had to stop having that tourney.

B (Boston)

Lunch: 3 guesses. And all 3 are a burrito.

Josh (Lincoln, NE)

I think (hope, really) that Pat was joking.

Brian (Madison, WI)

Nate must have been really drunk because I was in his group and he tipped the cart over on hole 14. Definitely not the beginning of the round.

Shane (Idaho)

The Drunken Open? Where do you sign up for that?! Is is a shotgun start or a shotgun start?

David (Ottawa)

Lunch: Clinton.

Steve (Austin, TX)

Lunch: Cuban Sandwich, Chips, and DP

Andy (Olathe, KS)

Hey, Pat can interpret it however he wants. Just because he is wrong (and thus subject to ridicule), doesn't mean we should all pounce on him at once. At least spread it out a little :)

Brian (Madison, WI)

Lunch: Dominating in basketball and having PB&J's to keep me going until dinner.

Louis (Fredericton, NB)

Lunch Shepperd's pie made by me. With plenty of ketchup

Matt (IN) [via mobile]

Just say no to Lion King chat.

Clinton (Indianapolis) [via mobile]

A shot at each hole, plus beer? A hope there were paramedics standing by to pump a few stomachs.

Scott (Brewtown)

There was a crappy golf course here a couple of years back that used topless golf cart girls. They got busted for it after about a month of it, when people started lining up along the roadside holes and staring.

Brian (Madison, WI)

No shotgun start. That's one of the best parts. If you are one of the first groups off you are subject to ridicule on the first tee, if you are one of the last groups off you are subject to ridicule on the 18th green. Everyone surrounds the green after they're done.

B (Boston)

Star Wars was about how we should all conform so that we don't destroy our greatest creations, right?

Matt (IN) [via mobile]

Lunch: Possibly going to the urgent care center. Afraid I may need stitches afterall.

Andy (Olathe, KS)

HAKUNA MATATA!!!

Nate (Madison)

Damn you Brian....

Tom (NM)

Unbelievable chat today. I'm gonna listen to ZZ Top's Fandango album "backdoor love affair". "Boogie Children". Peace out.

Robbi (Clinton, Ky)

YooooHooo.....

Buzzmaster

  (10:56 AM)

That is chocolatey goodness.

jill (norman)

I'll play. Why was I not invited.

fred (omaha)

lunch: eating sandwiches with matt damon, at least he's appreciative

Eric (Chicago)

I'm out like the Flyers in Game 6.

Nate (Madison)

There's booze/beer/whatever you buy from the cart or sneak on your cart in your bag/etc. It's fairly cheap, comes to just 40 some bucks after cart/green fees.

Nate (Madison)

LUNCH: Something small at my apartment after smoking Brian's teams in Bball.

Andy (Olathe, KS)

Lunch: Tacos

Louis (Fredericton, NB)

Nobody knew you liked golf Jill*

Buzzmaster

  (10:58 AM)

Colin Cowherd's talking on his show about a guy who was nabbed in New Zealand who went to 4-5 funerals a week to steal food. He brought a backpack with tuperware. That's innovation.

David (Ottawa)

Ok I'm done here for the today. I'm out like Nate and the Biscuit after 8 holes of being apart. What does that mean exactly? use your imagination. Stay thirsty my friends.

Mike (Atlanta)

So i just wanna say before we leave, sincerely, Thanks to all of you. (even david) Just for giving me something to do all these days. I had fun and learned a lot....kinda. Anyways thanks buzz for posting 25% of the crap ive said over the last few months. Its been fun guys, see you in the ONB!

Josh (Lincoln, NE)

I'm out like Kansas' chances to convince Nebraska to stay in the Big 12 because of "tradition".

Clinton (Indianapolis) [via mobile]

Jill likes golf? Hey, did you know Jerome Bettis is from Detroit?

Andy (Olathe, KS)

I can't believe we almost went an entire chat without this: FREE RUCKUS!!!!!!

Buzzmaster

  (10:58 AM)

Free Ruckus!

B (Boston)

New Zealand...they're way ahead down there.

Pat [via mobile]

I am pretty sure that warthog and his buddy were the real antagonists...can't trsut singing animals.

Brian (Madison, WI)

That Buzz is a free ticket to hell.

Scott (Brewtown)

Missed most of the chat today because of work. too bad, it seemed like a good one. Oh well. Have a swell Tuesday everybody.

Bob (Lowell)

Just thought you needed a little more time to work things out with your new driver Jill.

Clinton (Indianapolis) [via mobile]

Funeral Crashers starring Will Ferrell and Vince Vaughn!

Andy (Olathe, KS)

In other words, we can't trust any of the animals in the Lion King, or any human that signs either, since we are all part of the animal kingdom. Nice.

Vicki (Indiana)

"The Grim Eater" that is just low

Clinton (Indianapolis) [via mobile]

Alright, everybody, enjoy the rest of your day and stay classy!

Shane (Idaho)

You guys should add a "shotgun" start where everyone has to shotgun a beer on the first tee. That plus the ridicule would be amazing!

Robbi (Clinton, Ky)

I'll drive a cart. No need to embarrass myself with my wicked golf game.

Buzzmaster

  (11:00 AM)

And we're done here. Thanks for stopping by everyone. We'll be back again tomorrow. Until then, stay classy SportsNation!

B (Boston)

See you next week Mike!!

Robbi (Clinton, Ky)

Oh something is wrong here. I'll just say bye y'all.

jill (norman)

Me and my driver.......

Matt (IN) [via mobile]

Later folks. I'm outta here like a Bryce Harper batting practice ball.

Andy (Olathe, KS)

Oops, that was supposed to be 'sings'. On that note, I'm out before I butcher anything else for the day.
