One day, two dudes, two mid-season grade cards

If John Oreovicz and Robin Miller worked in an office together, they would call each other in the evening and coordinate what to wear the next day. Miller would want to wear that god-awful "Speedtv" inscribed sweatshirt.

While Oreovicz would want to live up to his profile shot on espn.com by dressing like a guy who lures children into his Buick with Dippin' Dots.

The two open-wheel reporting heavyweights would ultimately decide to wear Danica tee-shirts under their polo tops and vintage Roberto Guerrero mesh hats. Yeah, it's pretty lame.



It's almost as lame as publishing the same article on the same day. That's exactly what happened yesterday as both released their not-so-highly anticipated mid-season"grade cards." Here's a handy chart to outline what these blokes think about the season of these IndyCar teams:

Team		Oreovicz		Miller
Penske		B+		C
Ganassi		A		A
Andretti Green		B-		D
KV		B-		C
Rahal Letterman		B-		B
Panther		C+		B
Vision		C+		B-
NHL		C		B
HVM		C		C
Foyt		C-		C
Dreyer and Reinbold		C-		C
Conquest		C-		C
Roth		C-		F
Pacific Coast		D		I
Dale Coyne		n/a		C-

Make note that "I" indicates incomplete and "n/a" means that Oreovicz forgot to give this team a review and grade. We know Coyne's team hasn't set the world ablaze, but come on Oreovicz, give 'em a grade.

Next week both Miller and Oreovicz will be releasing feature articles on a predetermined subject. We're thinking plastics.

With Dixon and Wheldon hitting the books, Target/Chip Ganassi gets an 'A'
