Tiger Woods who won Fed Ex Cup last weekend and is relieved to have savored the big win after losing three straight tournaments before hand on some very close holes towards the end of the contests. Tiger has been in contention a couple of times and fell short and for him it's perfection or nothing and sometimes it shows. I may have told you this in a piece I wrote a little while ago basically I called him out for being a boreish on the course at times. His attitude at times is like yeah he's great, he had to be great and everybody else doesn't matter. Act with a little more dignity and class sometimes out there Eldrick. Kevin Rielly throwing a good football for Cal: 99 times out of 100 if you score 50 points in a game your going to win a football game which the Bears did in their last two ball games by scores of 52-13 and 59-7 with wins respectively over Maryland and East Washington. The Bears gear up for week three against Minnesota on Saturday. The credit is being shared amongst them two of Cal's high profile players quarterback Kevin Reilly and running back Jahvid Best. First Reilly he's taken the game play book, his skills and learned to get ready to lead this team after falling to the number two quarterback position last season playing behind former quarterback Nate Longshore who has since graduated. Reilly has kept his head and helmet together and has been patient in the pocket and has progressed with throwing the football to his targets hence the impressive numbers through the first two games he has a 182 quarterback rating, has thrown for 46 attempts and completed 30 passes for 446 yards, averaging 9 yards per throw, he has 5 touchdowns completed, no interceptions and has been sacked three times. The real test will come when the Bears go to face the Pac 10 and it'll be an opportunity for Reilly to show what he has then. As far as Best is concerned he's carrying the ball well and has been on schedule for Cal so far with, 27 rushes for 281 yards for 140 yards Best is averaging 10.4 yards per carry, and has scored three touchdowns so far. Pressure still on the Giants: When your down 3.5 games in the NL Wild Card chase it's a big sign that it's now or never. In the Giants clubhouse manager Bruce Bochy says that the team is very level headed about getting to the next step in catching the Rockies. A well rested Tim Lincecum the Giants very own diva went to the hill on Monday night and nearly blanked the visiting and first place Rockies 9-1. The Giants will need almost six performances in a row like that if they have any plans to catch the Rockies. If the Giants lose one of these games to the Rockies in this current series at AT&T then it'll set them back from 4.5 games to maybe 5.5 games depending how many the Rocks can take from the Giants. The Giants are starting Barry Zito for Tuesday, Zito has pitched .500 baseball and you just don't know what kind of game your going to get from Zito. Zito 9-13 ERA 3.99 is what you and many might say is the lynch pin for the team. Zito is one of the pitchers in the rotation where one of those 13 loses could make the difference in this current Wild Card chase. The series with the Rockies could go right down to the final day of the season if the Giants can some how manage to get back into the series and also take at least two of three from the Dodgers.
