SPORTS BREAK

Today a bunch of fast cars got together in Indiana and the rain caused a problem except for Ashley Judd's husband. The youngest Andretti racer escaped a very hairy moment....and at 20 years old probably saw his short life past in front of him.

The Dodgers had to go extra innings due to the fact that they have an attack program that relies on their pitching staff to hold the other team while they finally get a few walks and a hit batsman....which they finally did to defeat the Cubs and stay tied for first place.....where they have actually been for the last three weeks.

There is a lot of speculation on the lack of power hitters....working for the Dodgers. I don't have a problem with banjo hitters as long as they hit some double banjos......but if they only get singles then they need seven or eight guys batting over 300 and that's not happening.

What they do have is a pitching staff that might be the best in baseball.....but it's still much too early to tell......50 games done and 112 to go.....and everybody knows that anybody can still win....including the Yankees who have fallen 400 games behind Boston. How bummed will they be when Clemens shows up and rips his 45 year Rotator Cuff? But then again A Rod could hit 89 more home runs and overcome any pitching problem that might be present.

The Ducks are playing for the Stanley Cup and the fact that I'm reporting anything about Hockey is really weird. Next thing you know I'll be reporting on Soccer and that guy married to the Spice girl.

The fact that I've brought up Auto Racing, Hockey and Soccer really means that THE RAPTURE might be approaching.

And that's my sports break.
