Can driving a car around in circles really fast constitute athletic activity? How can it be a sport? Actually I can't imagine the strain of that for a few hours. And not being able to stop to pee? Ouch. :lol:
An awesome sport.....unlike Nascar which for some unknown reason is one of the most popular sports in this country now.
nascar sucks.

Over 100 degrees in the car, taking 3-4 G-forces at every turn, mental concentration that is required. I would challenge you to take a racing course someday and give it a spin...so to speak. You'll gain a whole new appreciation.

Ward, I conceded the division to the Red Sox already about a week ago. I just want to get in the playoffs and take my chances with that specific team in a 4 of 7 situation as opposed to trying to run them down over the 162.
However, the Yanks have to at least get to .500 before we can entertain any discussion of them in any race. Once they get that, when they are at 10 over, then they can even bring up the Red Sox. Hard to say "this is how we are going to gain on Boston" when the team is under .500 and they are close to 20 over.

Art? How about placing your car in just the right place to cause the one you are trying to pass to slip up the track? Manipulating the air off the car in front of you to make yours handle better going off into the corner at 180 MPH.

- As the World Champions New York Yankees parades around New York city one cannot help to overlook that this team was 21-27 in late May and in the 5th inning was faced with a bases loaded situation when Luis Vizcaino struck out Frank Thomas, with the Yankees losing 3-0.
The Bronx Bombers won that game and never looked back.
If this happens, I hope that we face the Red Sox in the ALCS, fall behind 3-0, and win the series 4-3.

I don't even know how I became a Yankees fan. My dad was a Cardinals fan, my older brothers were Reds and Mets fans. I grew up in National League family. And the Yankees were terrible back then, but I saw a spring training game and Horace Clarke stole 2B and I've been Yankees fan ever since.
The Expos were still a year away from having a team and the Yankees were just such a bad team......but like you I`m a NL fan also.....was never sold on the DH.......sorry John....but thats just me.
I note that McGowan's ERA has been lowered by a couple of points so far tonight ...

A-rod doubles with no one on in front of him and no one out. he doesn't score.
Matsui reaches in front of him one AB too late.
I was thinking of how Posada came up with Matsui on 2nd vs. Seattle in the 9th, down by a run. He was 4-6 off Putz and was the AL leader in avg.
Of course he did not get a hit.
Jeter has a .500+ avg with men in scoring position and 2 out. So when he comes up yesterday with that scenario in the 9th to tie the game...
Of course he did not get a hit.
This season has been tough to watch. I bet if you went back and broke down the odds for each of these kinds of scenarios, you'd find that the Yankees have been on an unlucky streak that would make Phil Helmuth proud.
