correct when they traded for him his contract was up at the end of the year. It looked like he wouldn't have a shot to rejoin team this year with Harding, Backstrom (ugh) and Kuemper around. But once Harding broke his foot it created an opening. I could see him starting the season in Minnesota with Backstrom as his…

"Now go out and put a whoopin' on Atlanta"

2014 Cost Per Win (above replacement):
Phil Hughes: $1.31 million
Derek Jeter: $ ∞

They only showed the replay behind the goal posts briefly after the "miss" but that angle they showed actually looked like Iowa state made the first kick, of course it never was reviewed etc because of the time out.

What money? He isn't personally getting any money.

One note: the cars in the video aren't sprint cars, they are midgets, which oddly enough tend to be "safer" then the sprints in the Ward/Stewart incident. They are however in the same "family" more or less with the Sprints as they are both open wheel dirt racers, however there are several differences in regards to the…

Exactly, the "strategy" argument in the Non DH purists is just a lame excuse to not change a stubborn opinion.

Big fan of unwritten rules eh?

Well, I would be much more likely to watch more NL games if they adopted the DH rule.

Yes, nothing is as exciting as seeing a team intentionally load the bases with two outs to face a guy who can't crack a .450 OPS. Strategy!!1!

Hopefully he will get rid of the worst rule in baseball: pitchers hitting in the NL

While Stewart certainly has shown a temper in the past, it should be noted that NASCAR history and recent history are full of these type of outbursts/disagreements/fights amongst many, many drivers including more of the top "nice guys" like Johnson, Gordon, Edwards and so on. Right or wrong it is the nature of the…

Zipadelli was Tony's long time crew chief, I believe he helps run Stewart Haas racing these days. Him and Tony go back like 20 years or so.
