Chipper: Don't blame Bobby Cox
11 hours ago
Miami — Braves fans were accustomed to winning division titles and going to the postseason for a decade and a half. Now, facing the likelihood of a third consecutive year without an October, many Braves fans are letting their views be known on the blogs and airwaves. A significant segment of them believe manager Bobby Cox should be held accountable for the team's recent failings, that the venerable Braves skipper should be replaced. But they would be hard-pressed to find that opinion shared by any of those who play for him or compete against him. Those folks point to injuries as the main reason the four-place Braves are 48-53, six games out of first place and five or more behind three National League East foes: Philadelphia, New York and Florida.

12 hours ago
Edmonton, Alberta — A week after a confrontation with fellow driver Milka Duno that quickly became a popular YouTube video, Danica Patrick said her only regret is not thinking about how public it would be. The incident took place in the pits at Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course after last Saturday's morning practice, when Patrick walked to the wall behind Duno's pit to talk to the Venezuelan driver about getting in her way on the track. Duno didn't want to talk with Patrick and kept telling her to "go away," even tossing a towel in her direction once and then in her face before Patrick finally walked away. The incident, which lasted about one minute, was caught by an amateur photographer on video.
