Yellow flags and booted ground balls

- The "fan of the game" at Kauffman Stadium was an Overland Park, KS man who has been a Kansas City Royals season ticketholder since 1986. Yep--1986...the year after the Royals only World Series title and the year which began the current streak of no playoff wins. That man either needs to be commended for his loyalty, or questioned for his sanity given the bad baseball he's witnessed in 24.5 years.

- It's one thing to be labeled as NASCAR's "bad boy." It's another to be stupid and disrespectful. Kyle Busch has fallen into the latter category with his latest stunt--an after-race dust-up on the cool down lap with fellow truck driver Joey Coulter. Coulter and Busch bumped for position on the final lap of yesterday's NASCAR truck series race, so Busch scraped and damaged Coulter's vehicle after the race. Richard Childress, owner of Coulter's truck and head of Richard Childress Racing, walked down to Busch's garage to talk to Busch about the incident. Words were exchanged with Busch reportedly saying "don't worry about it, old man," and the result was, apparently, a Busch black eye. Witnesses said that Childress had Busch in a headlock--a move which many other drivers and NASCAR insiders would have liked to have seen for themselves.
