...little competition. So when Schroeder and her classmates found out about a website launched last year that pits teams from around the country against one another in a contest to see who could be greener, they jumped on board. Her seventh-grade Royal Acorns team is Carbonrally.com's reigning champ, having saved 11.21 tons of climate-changing CO2 to date...
...with 34 home runs and 119 RBI. The team also acquired Jacque Jones, who batted .332 after the All-Star break with the Chicago Cubs, and Edgar Renteria, long one of the most solid offensive shortstops in baseball (though his defense has declined). Magglio Ordonez, the '07 AL batting champ, and the always dangerous Gary Sheffield return from last year. How good is this lineup?

Applied to Alonso and Hamilton it was comically inappropriate. As a two-time world champ and McLaren's senior driver, the emotional Alonso could be excused for failing to share in the sport's enthusiasm for Hamilton's stunning rookie year. Accusations flying (Alonso felt the British team was favoring the Brit Hamilton despite Alonso's superior status), the pair got themselves to a place from which there...
This time, there will be no tie, no cannily incongruous headline. If they are deadlocked after 60 minutes, the oldest foes in college football will battle into overtime, into the Connecticut twilight, to crown the Ivy League’s undisputed champ. The memory of 1968, an unparalelled event in the storied history of The Game, endures, but if Harvard “beats” the Elis in 2007, it will actually have to beat them...
