Why Can't we win the friggin' Ryder Cup?

Honestly, the USA just can't win that thing. It took a minor miracle to win it back in 1999, and we haven't held it since then. The Presidents' Cup we can do. We can beat the REST of the World, just not Europe for whatever reason.
And this year we will go into the three day event sans Tiger Woods. Oh yeah, we REALLY HAVE A CHANCE NOW....
And how come sergio is so darned good at those things? He can't win a major event, but he turns into Mr. Invincible come Ryder Cup time. All of the backslapping and sneering....I think the last time was because of his mustache! Why doesn't the US just put Tiger up against him (obviously not THIS YEAR) and just make Sergio crap his pants? I just remember when Tiger went up against Sergio in the final pairings of all of those majors and Sergio poopooed his way to the 18th green where he sadly walked off the green, defeated yet again.

I mean I can understand why the US loses a bunch. Phil is the second
best player. Furyk might be #3. But the US normally has the #1 EVER. I guess when you step back, after Tiger, American Golf kind of sucks. Ben Curtis? Phil? Furyk? Anthony Kim Kenny Perry are our best hopes?

And now without Tiger, we are going up against Ian Poulter and Paul Casey and Luke Donald and Westwood and Sergio. And Harrington, only the hottest golfer in the world. Game set match.

Crap. We suck! We need the redeem team on this motha! Is Coach K available? And last time I checked, Phil played pretty well with Fred Couples back in 2006 at Augusta down the stretch. Kept him loose. Why can't we throw Freddie out there? Would Freddie really hurt this team? I can ONLY him cracking up the guys, taking pressure off, and maybe his experience could shake his opponent on Sunday's match-play.

I just have to hope that this band of underachievers can pull a 1980, but make it a miracle on Bluegrass.
