G.O.P. Greek Tragedy - NYTimes.com - Maureen Dowd - Mitt Romney needs to be left alone to limp across the finish line, so he can devote his full time and attention to losing to President Obama. Robo-Romney, who pulled out victories in his home state and in Arizona, and Sanctorum are still in a race to the bottom. Yet the once ruthless Republican Party seems to have pretty much decided to cave on 2012 and start planning for a post-Obama world. Not even because Obama is so strong; simply because their field is so ridiculously weak and wacky. John McCain has Aeschylated it to “a Greek tragedy.” And he should know from Greek tragedy. “It’s the negative campaigning and the increasingly personal attacks,” he told The Boston Herald, adding, “the likes of which we have never seen.”

Woods' agent rips ex-coach's book – USATODAY.com - Tiger Woods' agent lashed out Tuesday against Hank Haney's book, saying his "armchair psychology" about Woods was "ridiculous" and that it was clear the former swing coach only cares about self-promotion.

Woody Paige: What's the deal with Jim Tracy's deal? - The Denver Post - I've been trying to figure out this O'Dowd-Tracy accord for days, and I still don't get it. The players and the general population don't, either. Why doesn't O'Dowd, like normal people, give Tracy a three-year extension or have him play out the final season of his current contract? After all, he is the best manager of the five in the Rockies' 20-season history and the only one with a winning record.
