STOCK WATCH: Fast-Glance Week in Review

August 27, 2007 | Dick's Stock Watch provides a fast-glance review of the past week in the world of sports, charting whose stock is up and whose is down.

STOCK UP
• Kansas City Chiefs running back Larry Johnson ends his 25-day holdout and receives a five-year extension.

• Angels outfielder Garret Anderson had a 10-RBI game vs. the Yankees.

• The Texas Rangers scored 30 runs in one game, a modern-day record, in a rout of the Orioles.

• Josh Beckett became the first 16-game winner in the majors this season.

• Greg Maddux won his 10th game of the season, giving him 20 straight seasons with double-digit victories.

• The Red Sox swept the White Sox, winning the four-game series by a 46-7 margin.

• Warner-Robbins, Georgia won the Little League World Series with a dramatic extra-inning home run against Japan.

STOCK DOWN

• South Carolina quarterback Blake Mitchell was suspended for the season opener for missing too many summer school classes. Steve Spurrier couldn't have been too happy with his signal-caller.

• Major League Baseball gets stock down for their save rule. How crazy is it to see Rangers reliever Wes Littleton get a save in a 30-3 game?

• The Milwaukee Brewers were swept in a three-game series by the San Francisco Giants.

• Sonics co-owner Aubrey McClendon was fined $250K for saying his group didn't buy the Sonics to keep the team in Seattle. David Stern couldn't have been happy with those remarks.
