When it gets that deep you should keep your shoes on.

Unless you're switching to boots.

Well, that's a no-brainer....

The Royals break their 13-game losing streak by beating. . . the Yankees? Ouch.

Of course! The Yankees take what, 2 of 3 from Boston and then turn around and loose to the the Royals? They seem to always have a hard time with the Royals and the Devil Rays.

What does a .303 lifetime average and 1,400 hits over 13 seasons with one team get you? 26th place in a NASCAR truck series race. Strange.

NASCAR, Chuck?

NASCAR?

Racing has gone t'hell in a hand basket. I turned it on today for the first time in my life; mainly because someone told me a woman was driving in it. I sez "you gotta be sh!tting me- a woman?". Sho' nuff, there's someone called Danica Patrick just a-motoring away. First time I ever saw a driver in the 500 go into a curve while talking on her cell phone and putting on her lipstick.

Lah me......

It's true, it's true......

They should stick to bumper cars at the fair imo.

She's got a cute little figure on her tho, so they want her big time. She'll be on Letterman tomorrow night, I bet, since she races for Rahal-Letterman.

Marco A showed a rookie mistake - let the lead go with 300m left. There's gotta be a way to secure a victory in that sitch.

But I agree - racing ain't what it used to be.

Asterisk?

For second place?

Naw, don't think so.

Whew !
Just avoided a sweep by the Yankees, and here comes the Red Sox.

Where's Kansas City when you need 'em?

Not playing the Cubs.

Yea, where's Kansas City when you need 'em?

Couldn't believe the Yankees led 6 to 5 and had the bases loaded in the 7th(?) with 2 outs and didn't get a couple of runs out of that.

First it was Matsui's gruesome writst injury, then Mariano injures his back while putting on his shoes, then Sheffield goes on the DL with a muscle strain, and now Jeter gets plunked on the hand (although I heard the x-rays were negative). I'm not sure I've ever seen a stretch where 4 of a team's 5 or 6 most important players get injured in such close succession. Very tough stretch.

On the upside, Moyer pitched a 2-hit gem for Seattle the other night. I heard he's the oldest guy to throw a complete game shutout since Charlie Hough in '90 or something like that.

On the downside, Atlanta gets swept by Arizona in a 4-game series (in Atlanta) for the first time ever. The party may be over for the Braves, I think.
