WoW Tuesday, NASCAR, and Jones/Smoltz make nice

Not a lot of time to dive into full discussions about the topics in the title.  I would rather be gaming tonight instead of writing, so let’s dive in.

After seeing Chris’ post about getting to L70, I spent time with WoW last night, I had a 20 minute session this morning, a 25 minute session at lunch, and I just finished up a 45 minute session.  I am now about 20K from being a L38 mage.  You have to invest a heck of a lot of time to move forward, but moving forward is fun.  At this pace, I will not smell L70 anytime soon.

NASCAR reminded teams today that the sanctioning body owns the numbers, which are leased to the individual teams.  I am not sure if they are pitching a hissyfit because that is what NASCAR does best, or if they do not want the 8 car going with Junior (and thus to Hendrick’s garage).

NASCAR also punished Gordon and Johnson by docking them 100 points, and their crew chiefs were suspended for six races, which is a bigger impact than the points penalties.  My feeling, in this particular case, is that this is way too excessive.  They were already sent to the back for a road race, which was a big punishment.  I could see something this extensive for using an illegal part or substance, but for bending a fender?  I thought pushing the limits of the rules was one of the charms of the sport.  I guess those days are over.

I read Chipper Jones and John Smoltz made nice.  Apparently it was all a big misunderstanding and Chipper apologized for misinterpreting Smoltz’s comments.  Sure.  Sounds like they have that one all wrapped up.

The Braves finally won last night and are winning tonight.  Amazing what a couple of three-run homeruns will do for you.
