Saturday 05/10 (Very) Quickie

Not so fast, Kobe: The Jazz are an entirely different team when playing in Utah...

MLB: So, yeah, I guess Jimmy Rollins IS pretty valuable...

There might not be a more enjoyable team to follow right now than the Rays (Shields 1-hitter, Longoria game-winning 2-run HR)...

Who turned Ted Lilly (10 Ks) into Carlos Zambrano?...

Richie Sexson suspended 6 games for retaliating to an eye-level pitch...

Rickie Weeks!

Danica Patrick needs driving lessons (actually: she's not taking much blame for her pit-row accident)...

(Just to clarify, per the Comments, this wasn't meant in any way to be a comment on her as a female driver than it was a comment that she is a professional driver. I would have used a same or similar joke if it was one of the male drivers. Regardless, it was the pit crew member's fault, not hers, so chalk it up to a lame attempt at a joke anyway. Should have just linked to the YouTube clip and called it a day!)

Carlisle to Mavs: They might do better than 7th in the West (actually, they likely won't), but don't expect any Finals trips. Over-under before Carlisle is fired: 3 seasons.

As much crap as I have given Danica Patrick, she didnt do anything wrong. The WORST place in the world to be "running an errand" on pit road is over the wall.

That guy was someplace he wasnt supposed to be.

Dan -

I am a fan of your work but your comment about Danica Patrick is way off mark (and actually a bit sexist IMO). She isn't taking much heat because she didn't do anything wrong. It was an accident and a bad one but that guy was in the wrong place at the wrong time and most people who have a basic knowledge of open wheel racing understand that.

I understand the need to post an item about what happened as it is news...but to make a lame attempt at a joke that Danica needs to learn how to drive is beneath you. You are a much better writer and commentator then that.

Just my two cents.
