Actor Randy Quaid and wife are seeking refugee status in Canada

Hollywood actor Randy Quaid and his wife, wanted in the United States on vandalism charges, are seeking refugee status in Canada, saying on Friday they feared for their lives, According to Reuters.

The couple were arrested in Vancouver on Thursday after police responded to a call and found there were arrest warrants out for them in California. Officials incorrectly said earlier that were arrested on Wednesday.
In a rambling presentation at an immigration hearing, Evi Quaid said eight of her husband's acting friends had been murdered in recent years and they feared he would be next.
The couple came to Canada on Sunday. The next day, a California judge issued an arrest warrant for them after they failed to appear at a mandatory court hearing on charges they had been illegally squatting in a home they owned years ago.

Texas Rangers manager fine with Nick Swisher

Texas Rangers manager Ron Washington said he doubts any other New York Yankee would have uttered such statements, but he has no problem with outfielder Nick Swisher boldly voicing his desire to face Cliff Lee in a Game 7, According to ESPNDallas.com

On Thursday, Swisher was agitated by reporters asking teammates a couple of lockers down about going against Lee in a possible Game 7. The Yankees first had to face Rangers right-hander Colby Lewis in Friday night's Game 6. So Swisher interjected.

Swisher somewhat broke out of an awful postseason slump in Game 5 with a home run. He has just two hits in 19 at-bats in the ALCS. In Game 3 against Lee, Swisher went 0-for-4 with a strikeout.

When Swisher was asked Thursday about voicing his opinion with reporters around, he interrupted the question at the mention of "Cliff Lee" and said he was done talking about the Rangers' ace. Lee beat the Yankees twice in the 2009 World Series with the Philadelphia Phillies and again in Game 3 of the ALCS.

Yankees manager Joe Girardi simply said he hopes Swisher is right and that the Yankees, down 3-2 to the Rangers, get the chance to see Lee again.
