Taking a 1/2 day and getting boozed-up before an evening baseball game is one of life's little pleasures. When that game happens to be of the playoff variety, well, the awesomeness factor of the whole endeavour increases exponentially. At the risk of sounding gushy, the atmosphere inside Citizens Bank Park last night was something special. If someone would have told me that Shane Victorino would hit a grand gank off of CC Sabathia to vault the Phils into a 2-0 series lead, I would have called that person retarded. I would've referred to them as "Corkey" for the rest of the evening. For christsakes, this is the same Sabathia who I saw pitch a CGSO (should have been a no-no) in Pittsburgh less than a month ago. Ah, but sweet alas:
Hours after the game's end, I was taking distinct pleasure in listening to the Baseball Tonight crew discuss the sudden implosion of the Cubs. (Fuck the Cubs.) Something across the scroll caught my eye. The words "Castroneves," "tax evasion," and "federal" were rather shocking. I was caught off guard. The AP story on Fox Sports seems to explain things pretty well. We'll keep sweeping the interwebs for updates. Speedtv.com's Marshall Pruett (no relation) is reporting Castroneves will race in tomorrow's Petit Le Mans event at Road Atlanta.
More information could be given during Petit Le Mans qualifying. It'll be streamed live on speedtv.com starting at 3:25 p.m. ET this afternoon, for those interested in watching at work.
NASCAR is in Talladega, our Chaser preview will be up, as always.
Also, not to give too much away, but next week, we will have a special feature involving a noteworthy racing expert. Let's just say this guy has forgotten more about racing than most of the so-called experts out there. It will be big time.
Enjoy the race weekend.
