'Ford won the fourth game, and the Yankees had their sweep.'
Should they have played three more just so Whitey could pitch in the seventh?

"I still have yet to see Strasburg pitch because Major League Baseball has deemed that Raleigh is in the DC baseball market."
That's OK, Salt Lake City is in the Diamondbacks' market AND the Rockies'. 525 miles one way, 535 the other.

It shows how completely I have ignored the NBA for years that I figured this was some sort of joke, whereby the writer took a LeBron James story and inserted the name of some bench-warmer, in order to make it look like the Knicks weren't interested in LeBron all along but some no-namer.
Imagine my surprise when I googled Chris Paul.

He really didn't seem to hit that hard. I've seen many sand pit rides that looked worse, and the driver walked away unscathed.

"I am curious if other high profile racers have said things like this."
I do recall Emerson Fittipaldi jumping out of his car at the end of a race (I am pretty sure it was the Indy 500), and saying to the pit reporter, live on national TV: "My Goodyear tires all day is shit!"
So there's that.

dyams, I have always wondered the same. If they've got carte blanche to wreck each other, then a team owner who's got a driver running in second should have his lowest-position car hang back, let the rest of the field come back around to lap him, then take out the leader. Voila, a "win" for him.
posted by mr_crash_davis at 06:04 PM on March 09, 2010
Yeah, this sort of thing has been coming for a long time. I know I've mentioned it here in the past, but my take on it is if you spin out the leader to "win" the race, Nascar should DQ your ass and you get to sit out another race. By calling it a win (see Keselowski, Talladega last year, as the latest example) they're giving their approval, which is naturally going to result in more intentional wrecking.

"Fort Worth is nice if you don't mind 110 degree Augusts."
I lived in Irving during the summer of '98 when it was 100+ degrees for 50-some-odd days in a row, or some similarly ungodly weather record.

holden, it is a very rare thing. I've been a drag race fan (and occasional driver) since I could walk (my dad was a crew chief for a AA Fuel dragster just after I was born) and I've never heard of a spectator being killed at an NHRA event.

That's pretty sad, considering a quarter-mil is pretty much chickenshit money to the MLB. Hell, to a lot of individual MLB players.

The Yankees are spending a lot of salary money, yes, but they do spend their money wisely considering the goal is to win championships and they've won 27 of them.
How much have the Cubs spent since 1908? How much did the Red Sox spend from 1918 to 2004?
