sorry to see that he didn't make the US team, but he will be playing in front of tons of scouts... I will definitely make it down for some games. Let me know for certain when you are going... I try to make the trek and we'll grab some beers or something. I'm trying real hard to make it up there this weekend... I'm off work next Monday and Tuesday... I'll let you know....

Goose, Congrats on your Bro.
Those tryouts are no different than the 7-8 year old all star try outs. The team is predetermined no matter how each individual performs.
It's got to be excited to see where he's and the nice opportunities he has to look forward to.
I know your family is very strong supporters of WVa and Im sure your brother was/is proud to be a Mountaineer but did he have other offers out of High School?

Ya... he had a full ride to St. John's and Marshall... Also, Clemson offered him significant money (or at least it seemed, until we looked at how much it would still cost)... and Pitt offered him full ride.... but it was down to St. John's and WVU the whole time.. he really liked the coaches at St. John's, but decided to stay close to home and play at WVU... I'm very happy he did, since I get to see him play a lot... but having a good excuse to hit up NYC wouldn't have sucked...

So I'm off this week and I'm supposed to be doing some honey do lists today around the house, so I can play golf the rest of the week. I'm sitting here watching CFB Live on ESPNU and low and behold what comes across the bottom ticker but Cape Cod League scores and look who's name was on it for going 3-4 in his game, but none other than Goose's Bro! It said "Gyorko 3-4 (WVU). Pretty cool shit. Congrats to Goose's bro!!

Hey Goose... did you make it up this weekend. I tried numerous times to get on the site to get your number and give you a call... but I couldn't log on... talked to Sad about it and he said the registration for the site had run out. If you did, hope you had fun.

I went... Just got back into town this afternoon.. Great trip (but crappy weather)... Didn't get to do a lot of site-seeing due to morning rain everyday... but they played all 3 games and my bro is off to a good start... (6-10 with a HR, a 2B, and 4 RBI)... so... all in all... fun trip... at least the games were... but sitting in a hotel for hours at a time can be a bit boring....

Karma is a bitch. I'm supposed to tee off at 7AM tomorrow with my roomate from college and it's rained all night here and is supposed to as well tomorrow. Not looking good.

LMAO!!! Unfortunately I did. I'm off for the rest of the week and am playing Thurs, Fri, and in a tourney on Sat with $1800 large in the skins pot. Playing the same course as today. Today's score was just indicative of how bad I was from 100 yards and in. Hopefully that will right itself by Sat. Only takes one hole to win a skin or two. ;D

Bring home the cash Toph! Dial in those short clubs.
The great thing about skins is that you can be out of one hole after the drive, and then win the next one with no problem. ;D

Thanks guys. Oh by the way, I'm playing with the Course owner's daughter, who is a really solid player. I have to play the tips whereas she plays the ladies. On some holes, that is well over 100 yards of difference. Nice advantage. I think there are only 3 other chicks playing and they aren't very good. Not only do I have no fees to pay, but I get a huge advantage. Now we just need to make some putts. ;D

Jewlery, spa treatments, and shopping trips will cure all tension that a trip to Beantown may induce. ;D Seriously, congrats to the Bro!! Awesome news!!

He went 0-2 with that flyout and a groundout... He hit 3rd for the East team.. and was highlighted during the lineups on NESN's TV coverage... It was so fucking neat to see him play in HD at Fenway Park... gave me chills... And yes... I can get you guys a bunch of signed stuff.. if you'd like of course...
