This article featured the Phillies game 4 victory in the NLCS over the Dodgers. In this game the Dodgers got out to an early lead. However, the Phillies rallied late in the game on a Shane Victorino home-run. Later in the same inning, Matt Stairs, who the Phillies traded for on the trade deadline, hit a home-run that gave the Phillies the lead. With this win the Phillies took a comanding 3 games to 1 lead over the Dodgers. THe Phillies are now just one game away from the World Series.
The thing I like about this article is that Stairs is humbled by this expierience and is doing every thing he can to help his new team. This article only had to be a recap of the games action if you missed the game and wanted to catch up. However, the author went into good detail about significant details that have happenend to Stairs and this team.

Presidents and Baseball
I'm not gonna lie....i dont much about politics. In case you dont know me, the only thing i know in this world is sports. When it comes to the presidential topics, i generally dont care, i dont see how anyone can do a bad job. However, over the last year i have started to notice how bad of a job President Bush has done as President. Actually, if i may say he stinks. To relate him to baseball he's a terrible pitcher. If i was manager i would have yanked him out in the 2nd inning (about 2002). He should have been stuck on the bench long before he gave up the 15 runs in the 4th inning (Iraq). We would be booing him off the field and probebly throwing peanuts at him. And you know there would be some crazy fan with the JOHN 3:16 sign. This was a terrible 8 year game from the moment it started.
At this moment in time we need to find the right relief pitcher. Do we go with the old veteran that is probably going to be just as bad as the starter (McCain). He'll just make the situation worse and most likly make this game unwinable. Or do we go with the kid with electric stuff (Obama). We have scene what he can do in the minors (the senate), but is he ready for the big time lights?
Personally I would go with the kid. He's got just dynomite "stuff" and i think he can lead us in the right direction. (Also if this is a national league game i have heard he is quite the hitter as well)

Colts Victory
Did anyone see the Colts game on October 5th, 2008? What a stunning piece of miracle that was. Colts score 21 points in the final 4 minutes of the game to come from 17 points down and defeat the Houston Texans. The first touchdown was a mythotical drive lead by
Peyton Manning to get us within 10 points at 27-17. After a failed onside kick the game would have been over if the Texans could get a first down. On third and long Texans back-up quarterback Sage Rosenfels sprinted for the first down marker, leaps, gets helocoptered, and fumbles. Middlelinebacker Gary Brackett scooped up the ball and took it 68 yards to the house. that made the score 27-24. On the next Houston drive Rosenfels again fumbled after a sack. Colts recover on the 19 yard line. Reggie Wayne would go on to make a curcis catch for the touchdown for the improvable victory. Realistically the Colts should be 0-4. Two terrific comefrom behind wins against the Vikings and Texans have prevented us from being in real trouble. Even though the defense came up big late with key turnover they need to stop the better if we are to catch the Titans. Next week we Ravens at home. LETS GO COLTS!!!
