| British Open 2013: TV coverage and schedule for Saturday's round Posted: 20 Jul 2013 03:00 AM PDT  Muirfield may have gotten the better of most players during the first two rounds, but the tight leaderboard should make for an entertaining third round on Saturday. Once again, viewers will be able to watch a large amount of the round live, including extensive coverage of the leaders. ESPN's live coverage will begin at 7 a.m. ET, well before the contenders begin to tee off after 8 a.m. The network is scheduled to broadcast live for at least seven and a half hours, but coverage could be extended depending on how long the late groups take to finish their rounds. Jason Day and Hunter Mahan will be one of the first notable groups to tee off when they hit the course at 8:35 a.m. Phil Mickelson and Justin Leonard will follow at 8:45 a.m. The leaders will begin to tee off around 10 a.m. with the pairing of Tiger Woods and Lee Westwood scheduled to begin their round at 10:10 a.m. In addition to the television broadcast, ESPN will provide additional coverage online via ESPN3. The coverage will begin at 4 a.m. with three hours of @TheOpen Live. Once television coverage begins, ESPN3 will offer five online streams, including a simulcast of the TV broadcast. There will also be a stream dedicated to hole Nos. 1 and 18 and another covering No. 7, No. 8 and No. 9. International and Spanish streams will also be available. Radio coverage will begin at 9 a.m. on ESPN Radio and continue until the end of the round. Here is a closer look at Saturday's television coverage and other viewing options.

| Tony Kanaan says he's often confused for Vin Diesel Posted: 20 Jul 2013 02:28 AM PDT  Indianapolis 500 winner Tony Kanaan recently appeared on an episode of People.com's Chatter video segment where celebrities are pitted against the clock in trigger-finger response style interviews to generate the most candid responses possible. The gimmick is to ask the guest five questions in 60 seconds ending with one shameless plug. The plug in this scenario was the new IndyCar based DreamWorks cartoon, "Turbo" which inspired one of Kanaan paint schemes in races where he is sponsored by Sunoco. The Q&A can be found below but we urge you to watch the video here as Kanaan's slapstick delivery made for quite the entertaining interview. People Chatter: When you're out for a Sunday drive, what is the top speed you go? Tony Kanaan: The speed limit -- because otherwise, my wife would definitely be mad at me! Ppl: What's the worst way someone has massacred your name? TK: Vin Diesel (Editor's note: What? Maybe he thought they meant ‘mistaken identity?) Ppl: Besides racing, what else gives you an adrenaline rush? TK: WHen my wife calls me and tells me that we need to speak when I get home. Ppl: What was the first car you ever owned? TK: My first car was a Fiat Panda -- which doesn't even exist in America. Ppl: If your kid wants to be a race car driver, what advice would you give them? TK: Never give up. If it's your dream, it's possible. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| Ryan Hunter-Reay wins Best Driver Award at the ESPYs Posted: 20 Jul 2013 12:58 AM PDT  IZOD IndyCar Series champion Ryan Hunter-Reay received the ESPY Award for Best Driver during the 21st annual event on Wednesday night at the Nokia Theatre in Los Angeles. It was the first ESPY Award presented to an Indy car driver since Jimmy Vasser in 1997 when he won the CART Championship for Target Chip Ganassi Racing the year prior. It was also the first ESPY nomination for Hunter-Reay. Hunter-Reay won in the category that also featured Indianapolis 500 champion Tony Kanaan, Formula One champion Sebastian Vettel and NASCAR Sprint Cup Series champion Brad Keselowsk. The results were determined by online voting. "I can't thank you all enough for your votes and support," said Hunter-Reay, who secured the 2012 title in the season finale in a Andretti Autosport car to become the first American to win the series championship since Sam Hornish Jr. in 2006. The awards show celebrates the past year's best athletes and moments in sports and was hosted by "Mad Men" star Jon Hamm. Former Indianapolis 500 luminary Robin Roberts, won the Arthur Ashe Courage Award, given to an individual whose contributions transcend sports. The show also recognized racing personalities Dick Trickle, Jason Leffler and Chris Economaki in its "In Memoriam" segment to those who have passed in the past year. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| 2013 British Open: Tee times and pairings for Saturday's round Posted: 19 Jul 2013 11:00 PM PDT  The top of the British Open leaderboard is not short on star power, as several former major champions are in the hunt heading into the third round. With so many notable names in contention, Saturday's groupings will include a few interesting pairings. Tiger Woods heads into the weekend one stroke off the lead, and he will play with Lee Westwood on Saturday. The two will be paired in the second-to-last group with a scheduled tee time of 10:10 a.m. ET. Second-round leader Miguel Angel Jimenez will play in the final group, paired with Henrik Stenson. Jimenez opens the third round with a one-stroke lead, ahead of Woods, Westwood, Stenson and Dustin Johnson. Johnson will be paired with Martin Laird, while first-round leader Zach Johnson will play with Rafael Cabrera-Bello. The 9:30 a.m. pairing will feature an interesting combination of youth and experience as 19-year-old Jordan Spieth plays with former U.S. Open champion Darren Clarke. A pair of former Masters champions will tee off at 9:15 a.m. in Adam Scott and Charl Schwartzel. Bubba Watson will chase his second major title paired with Ian Poulter, while Phil Mickelson and Justin Leonard are scheduled to tee-off at 8:45 a.m. Jason Day and Hunter Mahan were both in contention on Sunday at the U.S. Open. Now they will be paired together in the third round as they attempt to remain in contention heading into Sunday at The British Open. Here is the complete list of third-round tee times (all times Eastern):

| Jake Peavy activated from DL, to start Saturday for White Sox Posted: 19 Jul 2013 09:19 PM PDT  White Sox ace Jake Peavy has been activated from the 15-day disbled list and will start when Chicago faces the Braves on Saturday, according to the team. Read More White Sox: South Side Sox Peavy had been on the disabled list since June 6. He left his start on June 4 against the Mariners in the third inning with pain in his left ribcage and X-rays revealed a broken rib. Before that injury, he was 6-4 for the White Sox with a 4.30 ERA over 67 innings. The White Sox are currently 37-56 and in last place in the AL Central. Getting Peavy back now will do little to help them this season, but it does give them a chance to get him enough work to draw interest from possible contenders. The 2007 NL Cy Young Award winner has still posted excellent strikeout and walk rates when healthy, and if teams believe he can stay on the mound for the remainder of the season, he could become one of the most coveted players on the trade market. The Rangers, Red Sox, Nationals and Diamondbacks have all pursued Cubs starter Matt Garza to some degree over the past week, and if Garza is traded, the teams that miss out on him could turn their attention to Peavy. The right-hander does carry a heavy price tag, however: he is making $14.5 million this season and again in 2014.

| Updated and revised Southern Super Series schedule Posted: 19 Jul 2013 08:55 PM PDT  With its postponement due to rain, the World Crown 300 has created a shift in the remaining races of the inaugural Southern Super Series schedule. The World Crown 300 was originally scheduled for July 4 but rain canceled the event for just the second time in its 30-year history. The event has since been rescheduled for August 10 -- the date of the final scheduled Southern Super Series event at Gresham Motorsports Park, leaving the tour with one less event than previously scheduled. But Fairgrounds Speedway Nashville stepped in and added the missing date to their own schedule and the Southern Super Series will run their second event in Nashville of the season on Sept. 7. The event will be held in conjunction with the Tennessee State Fair, which will give fans additional incentive to head out to the speedway. "We look forward to the addition of the September 7 date to our schedule and the Southern Super Series schedule," Fairgrounds Speedway promoter Tony Formosa said in a track release. "It's going to be really special because it's going to give fans the opportunity to go to the Fair and see the Southern Super Series race for just $8. "Fans can go to any Kroger in the Nashville area and get a $4 discount coupon, bring it to the State Fair and you can use that to see the races and go to the fair for $8 instead of $12." The additional stop at the historic Nashville half-mile will give teams one last tune-up before the historic All-American 400 on Nov. 2 -- the final race on the inaugural Southern Super Series calendar. The updated Southern Super Series schedule can be found below. The winners of the events already contested this season are noted in parenthesis: Apr. 6 Fairgrounds Speedway Nashville (Bubba Pollard) Apr. 27 Gresham Motorsports Park (Bubba Pollard) May 4 Montgomery Motor Speedway (Augie Grill) May 24 Pensacola Five Flags Speedway (TJ Reaid) May 25 Mobile International Speedway (Augie Grill) June 1 Montgomery Motor Speedway (Augie Grill) June 21 Pensacola Five Flags Speedway (Daniel Hemric) June 22 Mobile International Speedway (Daniel Hemric) July 26 Pensacola Five Flags Speedway July 27 Mobile International Speedway Aug 10 Gresham Motorsports Park Aug 24 Montgomery Motor Speedway Sept 7 Fairgrounds Speedway Nashville Sept 20 Pensacola Five Flags Speedway Sept 21 Mobile International Speedway Nov 2 Fairgrounds Speedway Nashville | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Posted: 19 Jul 2013 08:45 PM PDT  Astros center fielder Brandon Barnes hit for the cycle on Friday against the Seattle Mariners, becoming the first Astros hitter to do so since Luke Scott on July 28, 2006 and the first right-handed Astros hitter to do so since Craig Biggio managed it on April 8, 2002, as pointed out by the team's Twitter feed. More Astros coverage:: Crawfish Boxes Barnes first came to the plate in the bottom of the second and delivered a solo home run to center. In his second at-bat, which came in the fourth inning, he hit an RBI-triple deep into the gap in right center. He picked up a single on a ground ball to right field in the sixth, putting him just a double away. Barnes came up in the eighth inning with a runner on and once again went the other way with the ball, hitting a sharp grounder down the first base line. Mariners right fielder Michael Saunders was quick to the ball but Barnes was thinking cycle right out of the box and ran hard for second. The throw appeared to be on time, but Barnes was called safe at second, giving him the last piece he needed to complete his cycle. Barnes has just the second cycle of the 2013 season. Mike Trout of the Los Angeles Angels hit for the cycle on May 21, becoming the youngest player in American League history to achieve the feat.
