Baseball Update:
Saturday's Recap
Indians 13, Boston 6 in 11 innings
The so called pitchers duel between Curt Schilling and Fausto Carmona was none exsitent but the Indians bullpen did it better in their game 2 win. The 5 hour and 14 minute game went into the 11th inning where the Tribe's bats came alive to the tune of seven runs, which gives them a tie heading to Cleveland.

Sunday's Recap
Diamondbacks 1, Rockies 4
Going into Sunday's game, neither team had hit a homerun, but that all changed, even with a steady rain rolling through the entire game. Matt Holliday struck first with a solo shot in the first inning giving the Rockies the 1-0 lead until Mark Reynolds tied up the game with his solo homerun in the fourth inning. The Rockies once again found a way to win when Yorvit Torrealba came up to the plate with two outs and two on and hit a monster homer putting the Rockies one game away from a sweep and the franchise's first trip to the World Series.

NASCAR Update:
It's two in a row for Jeff Gordon after winning at Lowe's Motor Speedway on Saturday night at the Bank of America 500, extending his points lead. A late race crash involving Ryan Newman put the race intp extras and some doubt in the minds of Gordon and his crew as to whether they had enough gas to get to the finish. But he did, breaking a streak of DNFs at Lowe's dating back to 2004. For only the second time during the Chase, the top five was populated with only chasers including teammates Clint Bowyer and Jeff Burton, Kyle Busch and Carl Edwards.

Well, Sauter told reporters he has been given permission to look else where. Maybe Cumberland Mills?
