49er is on my top-hated team lists but gotta give their players some credits and respect when it's due: 49er played against Kansas City Chiefs last week in a pre-season game. Coincidentally, it's the first time they met after former 49er QB Alex Smith was traded to KC. 49er players (including Smith's replacement) took turn to wish Smith well. And they were not even on TV so I'm pretty sure that's genuine feeling, not what the word "sportsmanship" could describe.
From the team that I don't care to the ones I care: Giants, A's, White Sox, Yankees all won their weekend series (against the lowly Marlins, the competitive Indians, the still-not-rock-bottom Twins and the "mightly" Red Sox, respectively!) I couldn't remember when this happened last time this season! Oh well, true fans are supposed to stick with their teams during good times and bad times.
BTW, we drove by the Sonoma Raceway on Sunday, exactly 1 week before the Sonoma Grand Prix (Indycar race) The traffic was not great even on a day without big race. I went a few years ago and wish it's an oval track (wider tracks usually resulted in more passing opportunities. And you could see the whole track better) Oh well, not everyone lives near an Indycar and NASCAR race track though. I shouldn't complain too much about the traffic and the fact that it's a road course instead of an oval.
