Patty Moise career stats:
http://racing-reference.com/driver?id=moisepa01
She's the only female driver I remember racing at the Winston/Nextel Cup level.
I remember Patty Moise had a few races at the top level. I don't believe she races anymore.
My two favorite drivers, #2 and #6.
Cards win 5-2 over the Cubs. Chris Carpenter became the first 17 game winner in the majors. It was also his 6th complete game of the season.
next game: Sun 7:05 pm CDT. Morris (12-4) for the Cardinals against Prior (7-4) for the Cubs.
Toyota slows down
By Bob Margolis, Yahoo! (AP) WATKINS GLEN, N.Y. – For Toyota, it was over before it began.
Over the past several months, Toyota Racing Development had quietly built a race car that eventually was submitted for the mandatory approval process that would allow it to be entered into the NASCAR Busch Series beginning in 2006.
For reasons known only to them, TRD officials would never acknowledge the existence of the car even though it had gone through the initial stages of the approval process (fitting the car to the templates).
Next up for Toyota was an on-track test at Atlanta Motor Speedway, similar to what Ford and Chevrolet recently underwent when submitting their new models for the 2006 season. But just three weeks ago, prior to the first scheduled on-track test, Toyota officials notified NASCAR that they were pulling the plug on the process.
Why the reversal?
Speculation centered on Toyota and NASCAR officials allegedly being at odds and not seeing eye-to-eye on the car and its engine.
"Not so," said a NASCAR official. "There was never a problem with the car. They just notified us that they were pulling the plug and ending the process – for now."
Despite confirmation from those in the garage, Toyota officials still won't acknowledge the existence of the car. Instead, they maintain that their goals have not changed since earlier in the year.
"We are committed to giving our complete resources and full energies toward our NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series program and the final year of our commitment in the Indy Racing League in 2006," said Toyota NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series program manager Pat Wall, who serves as point person for all of the manufacturer's NASCAR efforts. "It takes a huge undertaking to launch a program in any racing series, especially NASCAR."
Wall is no stranger to startup programs. He was involved with Dodge when that manufacturer returned to Nextel Cup racing.
"Our goals have not changed. We are still committed to a future in NASCAR, but right now we are waiting on NASCAR to make a decision on the design of the new car," said Wall, referring to NASCAR's proposed Car of Tomorrow.
NASCAR isn't sweating Toyota's delay in joining the Busch or Cup ranks.
"We're not disappointed," said Robin Pemberton, NASCAR vice president for competition. "For a company like Toyota, we'd rather that they have their ducks in a row and be ready to commit themselves to a full program.
"They are a large but young company, and [they] make decisions very slowly and carefully. For them, waiting another year or so doesn't have that much of an effect in the overall scheme of things."
Toyota announced in June that it would leave the Indy Racing League after the completion of the 2006 season. Then two weeks ago, the manufacturer announced its withdrawal from the Champ Car Atlantic Series. The two moves had many observers thinking that Toyota was preparing to make the move into the Busch Series.
Not so fast, says Wall.
"There is more than just the on-track commitment when it comes to fielding a racing program. There are many more off-track programs that come with activation," said Wall, referring to the development and implementation of NASCAR-specific marketing and advertising programs.
lol...
Zambrano pitched a good game today.
next game Sat. 12:30 pm CDT. Carpenter (16-4) for the Cards and Williams (3-5) for the Cubs.
Good ideal. Or they could do away with the divisions altogether and take the top 4 teams in the NL. Then 4 could play 1 in the playoffs. 3 at 2. The AL could do the same thing.
Ganassi picked up option on McMurray for 06.

You have some very good music. Nice variety.
Good Night. Thanks
I'll do that. Thanks.
lol
Really nice board you and Missy have here. I've had fun reading/listening for a while now.
No, I just enjoy the music.
My goal was to finish ahead of dropdeadfred. I think I have a chance now. lol
Not sure how that happened. I haven't watched golf in a decade. I'm enjoying it while it last. (g)
That's great. I always liked Howe when he was with Yes or Asia. Good for Warhorse.
That's my favorite. Steve Howe on Guitar. Rick Wakeman on keyboards. Great music.
Thanks for playing all the Yes songs Old Drummerman. I'm enjoying them.
Billy The Kidd beat me to it today. Greg Maddux and the Cubs beat the Cards 11-4.
next game Friday at 1:20 pm CDT. Jason Marquis (9-10) for the Cardinals vs Carlos Zambrano (8-5) for the Cubs.
Great band.
I was at this show:

this one too:

It is. I been having fun watching them. They have been winning almost two thirds of their games. Been a great two years for Cardinal fans, except for four games last October. g
Pitchers duel in Milwaukee today. Jeff Suppan and the Cardinals won 3-0 over the Brewers. The Cardinals improved to 10-3 against the Brewers this year. As expected the Cardinals optioned rookie RHP Anthony Reyes back to AAA Memphis. Outfielder Skip Schumaker was called up.
The NL Central standings:
Team W L PCT. GB
Cardinals 73 41 .640 -
Astros 60 52 .536 12.0
Brewers 56 59 .487 17.5
Cubs 54 60 .474 19.0
Reds 52 62 .456 21.0
Pirates 48 65 .425 24.5
Next game Thursday 1:20 pm CDT. Mark Mulder (13-5) for St. Louis against Greg Maddux (8-9) for Chicago.
craddocks team
Phil Mickelson
Davis Love
Loren Roberts
David Toms
Jim Furyk
276
Very nice.
Anthony Reyes did very well in his first major league game. His stats:
innings: 6.1
hits (allowed): 2
runs: 2 (both earned)
BB: 1
K's: 5
HR: 1
He got the win. The bad news is he's to be optioned back to Memphis after the game. We will probably see him again soon. Cardinals 5-2.
Next game Wednesday 1:05 pm CDT. Jeff Suppan (10-8) for the Cards against Ben Sheets (8-7) for the Brewers.
I don't expect to win, but I'm going to try to do better than you ddf. lol...

Alright, I'm making a note of it. I'll have a team picked by tomorrow night some time. Could be fun.
I hate to ask a dumb question. You have teams like this
GAB - Woods, Garcia, Furyk, DeMarco, O'Hair - 275.
Chrisau - Woods, Couples, Daly, Montgomerie, Dimarco - 273
Buckey - Woods, Weir, Howell III, Funk, Furyk - 269
Where do the numbers (275,273,269) come from?
I use to play it back in college. But I'm not up to date on all the new players. I see some of the guys are still there Ernie Els and Phil Mickelson.
Looks good. Keep the Hooter girls.
Yes. Coming through good.
Hey, we got a new look. Good going JalapenoBuck and Phil(Bullrider).
Hey ddf. How's everything going?
Went to your board Golf's Major Championships, looks like a lot of fun. But I don't know much about golf. Thanks anyway.

Cardinal second baseman Mark Grudzielanek was the star of tonights game going 3 for 5 with a home run and 5 RBIs, helping the Cardinals defeat the Brewers 8-4. Starting pitcher Matt Morris failed to get his 100th career victory. He would have become the 39th active pitcher in the 100 win club.
Next game Tue. 7:05 pm CDT. Anthoney Reves (ML debut) for the Cardinals against Doug Davis (9-7) for the Brewers.
Texas Terry Labonte will race the #11 car six more times this season, including next week at Watkins Glen.
I was hoping for a base hit to tie it. The ball just kept going. The bench has been doing a great job since the all star break. Esp. Abraham Nunez, he may be playing third for a while until Rolen gets back. Molina and Walker should be back soon. Sanders and Rolen in September sometime.
Maybe they should be called the Houston Citrus Fruit since they play in Minutemaid Park.
The Braves are tough in Atlanta. I think you are right.
lol. You had me worried for a second.
