    Alonso given a 10s penalty for racing, in a race he finished last in. This 'sport' is off the rails. Meanwhile, Sainz is not penalized for completely ignoring the apex en route to also causing a collision. It's just bizarre.

    Yeah over on Autosport people are trashing Alonso for making it too hard for those guys to pass. WTF? I thought we were racing here, lol.

    I'll take Nico over Karun, Damon, or Johnny or even Jenson, every single time.

    $95,000,000.

    I get that Yordan wants a pitch to hit, but patient Yordan is the best Yordan.

    Mario says there's been one meeting with FOM and there will be another during the Miami GP weekend. https://www.nbcsports.com/motor-sports/news/mario-andretti-offended-by-formula-ones-treatment-of-michael-andrettis-bid In other news ... Ted has a theory that the fires are happening so easily because there's peat in the soil. I doubt it's that complex, but who knows. It's an interesting idea, and reminds me of something that happens here every year around this time with the brown stuff falling out of the oak trees. Dead oak blossoms? I dunno. I'm just an unfrozen caveman firefighter. Sometimes when it's particularly bad and the conditions are right, it can spontaneously combust, like a mulch pile would, because of the heat built up internally as it decomposes. Sometimes we have 50 grass fires because of it in just a day. Sometimes it even causes structure fires when it collected on rooftops. It's crazy. /csb

    Both Saubers in SQ3. First time either Sauber has made it into SQ3/Q3 all season. In China. Interesting.

    Welp. Looks like Shanghai channeled their inner Bobby Epstein and found a new, different way to cheap out on the track surface. The story behind Shanghai's 'painted' F1 track surprise: https://www.motorsport.com/f1/news/the-story-behind-shanghais-painted-f1-track-surprise/10600016/ They do this nonsense on our neighborhood streets here in Austin. It only lasts a couple of years and wears through even with that limited amount of very slow-speed, residential traffic. Imagine what it it'll do on a racetrack. If it's as durable as the crappy street surface in front of my house that's constantly littered with loose, tiny rocks that have worn off, then yeah, the track will wear away and grip levels will vary during the weekend. Not as bad as COTA's varying grip levels throughout the track, I'm guessing, but probably still significant. But as Kimi says, it's the same for everyone, so wewillsee.

    Yep. What's just as worrying to me is how lost he looks in the dugout ... like there's no real plan. But who knows. If they were winning, I guess he could look lost AF and it wouldn't bother me at all.

    Let's go Yord. Push this little aggy's shit in.

    Got damn, that's a nasty hop.

    Adios, David Pierce.

    Crazy what can happen when you swing the bat at decent pitches and just put the ball in play. Weird.

    Hat trick ...

    My cousin pulled off an unassisted triple play in Pony League. /csb

    Wow. Starting to look like the phantom HR won't matter. But who knows, 'cause baseball.
  22. wood
    In other words ... not a HR.
  23. wood
    Did they say that? If so, good. Needs to be said about eleventy-bazillion more times, apparently.
  24. wood
    Yep. But he struck and we got fuck all out of the AB. And it's 1-0 instead of 1-1. He hits a HR on every 31.5 ABs on average.
  25. wood
    Sure, per analytics. But if you bunt Altuve there and Yordan hits that grounder to 1B, it's 1-1.
