Summary of the Day: July 25, 2006
Indy Car officials took a collective sigh of relief Tuesday night when their most marketable driver decided to stay with their sport. Danica Patrick passed on the opportunity to join NASCAR and instead signed on with the biggest name in Indy Car. Danica is leaving Rahal Letterman racing and joining up with Mario Andretti and his team. Andretti Green will be welcoming the racing star to start the 2007 season. It looks like the only one who did not come out smiling in this deal is Rahal Letterman...maybe if they actually reinvested some of their profits in the team things would have turned out differently for them.
Roger Clemens once again received zero runs of support from the Houston Astros. This is the 11th time in 38 starts snce the start of the 2005 season that the Astros have failed to score a run during a Clemens start. These 11 shutouts in a season and a half matches the number of times his teams were shut out during the seven seasons Roger pitched for the New York Yankees and Toronto Blue Jays. You have to wonder if Clemens wishes he had rejoined the Boston Red Sox instead of the Astros. Personally, I am enjoying every minute of his struggles.
Oregon high school basketball star Kevin Love verbally committed to joining UCLA for the 2007-2008 season, a major win for Ben Howland and the Bruins. Love is the nephew of Beach Boys lead singer Mike Love and also the son of a former NBA player. With the combination of his signing along with O. J. Mayo and his commitment to cross-town rival USC, it looks like Los Angeles college basketball is going to be a major force in the Pac-10 beginning in 2007.
ESPN baseball analyst Harold Reynolds has abruptly left the company. Reynolds had been with ESPN since 1996 and was widely regarded as the top former player turned broadcaster in the industry. I am sure we will be hearing more about this story in the coming weeks.
