  1. I've only seen 2 episodes of the series, but I particularly like how they're taking the broader view of the whole weekend rather than just the race itself. I'm that guy that watches every single session of the weekend to get the whole story of what happened. I know not everyone is this way, but with the sports I love I've always been very attracted to the prep work that goes into it and the buildup of an entire event in its entirety. To me, tuning into an F1 weekend right before the race starts is like walking into a movie theater 3/4 of the way through a movie.

    what if nascar had been developed on road courses for $100, alex

    I've been thinking for a couple years that the time is perfect for a North American Supercars spinoff, racing at tracks like the Glen, Road America, Sonoma, VIR, Long Beach, Lime Rock, Road Atlanta, Hermanos Rodriguez, Mid-Ohio, Belle Isle, Laguna, Barber, Thunder Hill, Elkhart, Mosport, CGV, and so on...

    I have made it through the first two episodes. Pretty good so far. I think it might make me pull more for Danny Ric more this season. Just a good dude.

     

    Yep. Agree with all of this.

    Anyone else notice the V8 sounds stuck in here and there? Seems a bit like false advertising.

    Saw this earlier.

    JAMAICA, Queens (WABC) -- 30 people were injured after heavy turbulence on board a Turkish Airlines flight from Istanbul that landed at JFK Airport on Saturday evening, officials say. 

    28 passengers and two crew members were being evaluated on the scene for non-life threatening injuries just before 6 p.m. Ten people were taken to the hospital. Some passengers hit their heads on the ceiling of the plane. 

    Passengers say the heart-pounding turbulence lasted for about six minutes. When it was over, every other row had someone either injured or bleeding. Officials say severe turbulence caused bruises, cuts, a broken leg and gashes on some passengers' heads. 

    An apparent airline crew member was seen limping out of the terminal with a bandage around his leg. 

    Several small children were also in need of medical attention. 

    The plane with 326 passengers on board was over Maine when it happened. 
     

    This is why you keep your seat belt on when seated, at least loose, and only get up when really necessary. Fucking stupid people. Jesus.

    Wasn't sure if it was slip stream or not, but man he came charging, and it seems like we just had not seen that against a Doc the last few years.

     

    Also, looking at those pictures makes me so sad. WHAT THE HELL HAVE YOU DONE DUCATI????? Last year's livery was so fucking clean, and I LOVED the matte. This year is way too busy.

    Blame Marlboro.

    They absolutely should have stopped it.  Stanford batted for an hour in their half of the inning.  They got 8 runs on something like 3 hits.  We couldn't throw a strike with the wet ball, we couldn't knock down pitches in the dirt, err, mud because they were splashing.  We may still have lost the game but for that half inning, the field was unplayable.

    Unreal. WTF. When they finally did stop it, were we still batting, or did they wait til we came up to bat? Letting a team completely take over the game in conditions like that is not justifiable.

    Keith could not stop talking about how much standing water there was in the infield on the radio. There was also minimal effort made to improve the conditions until it was Stanford’s turn to take the field. Our players literally could not stay upright trying to field the ball. It was a circus.

    Well, fuck. No wonder he was pissed. That's bullshit.

    The little things is when you really appreciate Gus and Augie

    Agreed, but I put that on the players more than the coaches, even from the time you're about 11 yo on up. Everyone out there, on any team anywhere, should be able to put down a basic sac bunt on demand. Every. Fucking. Time. But we see players struggle with it all the time across all levels. And if you can't do it, I have a hard time blaming the coaches for it.
