Sizzle
1. Down the stretch » Maryland horse racing commissions does something it should have a long time ago: ban steroids.
2. Hit it » Derek Jeter set more history at Yankee Stadium, becoming the venue’s all-time hit leader with 1,270, just prior to the Yankees’ final home series.
3. Split reality » After Ohio State’s 35-3 drubbing at the hands of No. 1 USC, last year’s top recruit, Terrelle Pryor, is expected to receive nearly half the snaps at quarterback this weekend for the Buckeyes.
Fizzle
1. Yost with the most » The Milwaukee Brewers pulled the plug on manager Ned Yost with just 12 games remaining, but those who follow the team know he managed his bullpen and batting order worse than a 17-year-old in charge of a McDonald’s.
2. Not so fast » Raiders defensive end Tommy Kelly was arrested on Monday night on suspicion of DUI, but shouldn’t have problems making bail after signing a $50.5 million deal this offseason. Too bad he couldn’t afford a cab.
3. Bad sample » Several Tour de France riders are having blood retested for performance enhancement. If it wasn’t detected the first time, what’s the point of the system at all?
