Two quick hits.
First, the NBA rule allowing a team to call timeout in the last few minutes and advance the ball across halfcourt is stupid. Now, instead of having to craft a play that covers the whole court in the final seconds, the trailing team only needs to run a set out-of-bounds play. This penalizes the team with the lead, especially if the team with the lead just hit a late shot to go ahead. This rule bit the Spurs in the rear tonight and led directly to the Lakers' miracle win. Time for a rule change.
Second, the Yankees are actually in first place (for now). That's the Jeter/Williams/Sheffield/Vazquez/Mussina/Arod haven't hit their strides Yankees.
