If you were Brian Sabean, do you spend the dough on Angel Pagan next year despite his post-season performance?

No waambulance needed, just a little sobriety. Though with the amount of steroids (and other performance enhancers) Freddy Rodriguez took, it could have helped Sanchez's recovery time.

Are you kidding me? Freddy Rodriguez came in 4th for second base in All Star voting...and he didn't play a single inning this season! Small fan base my ass...Giants fans are the new Red Sox fans.

Agreed; this kid is what it's like to be a car guy.

The "running man" is a little played out. Is it against UCI rules for Sagan to ghost-ride the whip across the finish line?

Pretty much everything, but here's a list of things I saw on my commute in this morning:

Road & Track...how long has it been since they were relevant? We'll see what this shakeup will do, but what I want is another Sports Car International... Sure Jay Lamm is great at putting on all those LeMons events, but what he did REALLY well was put together a fantastic rag focused on the enthusiast, reviewing cars…

I loved those books. I always chose poorly.

I printed an email once with one of those "consider the environment" lines...guess what was the only line printed on the second page.

My first thought as well. Guess crazy breeds in other time zones as well.

Perhaps I should edit to say "mostly" unnecessary in modern cars, but wildly over exaggerated in use both in certain car cultures and in Hollywood. Then again, it's a movie not a dissertation on the finer points of manual transmissions.

It's not easy - shifting a 1957 Fiat 500 requires it though. The point being that it's unnecessary in modern cars.

They must remove the syncros from their cars to save weight too because only posers don't double-clutch.

I'm not big on PCH because it's always clogged with slow driving tourists but the roads above Marin and those in the Santa Cruz mountains are second to none. On top of that, you're an easy drive from Tahoe and the wonderful roads through the gold country. There's a reason the CA Mille, the Melee, Snowball, and many…

Number 4 does it for me. A little homogenbetrieb and schichtladebetrieb go a long way for making a great benzin-direktinspritzung.

Agreed. I don't think you'll find many historical feature films that stay strictly accurate to history...simply because history doesn't always make as compelling a story when compressed into a two-hour time frame.

That's cool I suppose...here's the cake my wife got me for our rehearsal dinner. Vic Elford's Porsche 917; I had the hardest time convincing myself it was OK to cut into it, then I found out the wheels were fondant-covered rice krispy treats and it was easier to justify at least putting it up on blocks while I ate the…

Didn't realize how HUGE the FF was until you see it parked next to the Daytona.

Ninja edit caught and copped to. I quickly responded based on the fact that, "why the hell would anyone want Scott Speed wallpaper?!" and in the process accidentally omitted our 1978 champion.

Can we have a ridiculously cool first American F1 champion instead? #philhill
