Stuart Scott: Full disclosure: I'm not doing keyboard duty this time -- I'm on the celly with my man John Hassan in Bristol, who's typing. I'm playing a celebrity pro-am. Eighth hole, 160 yards. Hole-in-one gets a Beemer. Closest to the pin, a Rolex. I could use a Rolex.

Miami: Hey, Stu ... wuz up wit the U.S. basketball team losing to some Argentine scrubs?

Stuart Scott: I'm as shocked as anyone. First Argentina, then Yugoslavia, then Spain. The world is changing, but a collection of our best should be able to beat anybody. I know the players would agree.

Miami: Did the U.S. not work as a team, or are they just toying wit the competition like I do at the park?

Stuart Scott: I think they tried harder than you do at the park.

ALKimber: The "improved competition" that did us in. Fact or myth?

Stuart Scott: Three losses is pretty factual. Guys have been fearing being on a team that lost just one. Now, they're on a team that lost three.

	Stu's picking Zito to take home the Cy Young.

Orlando: Is Barry Zito your AL Cy Young choice?

Stuart Scott: Pedro has three. Let Barry have one. Two feet from the pin! That Rolex is mine!

Dallas: Should Tiger put pressure on Augusta National to admit women, or should he stay out of it?

Stuart Scott: Tiger has to do what's in his heart. That's his only responsibility. He has already said they should admit women. A boycott on his part would be foolish.

Orlando: Who's your pick to win the Series?

Stuart Scott: The A's won 20 straight in the heat of a pennant race. You only need to win 11 total in the postseason. How do you pick against them?

Joe Lambert: When did you think that it'd be a cool idea to include hip-hop in your commentary?

Stuart Scott: It's not a conscious effort on my part. We all do our jobs at ESPN. If our personalities come through, so much the better. And lots of people respond to it. But I appreciate anyone who likes what I do. It isn't shtick to me. If you knew Dan Patrick or Chris Berman, you'd see their personal style in what they do. That's the goal.

Damn. Somebody just beat me by a foot. No Rolex.
