Baseball Update:
Rockies 10, Phillies 5
The Phillies led for the first time in the series following the second inning, but a grand slam by Kaz Matsui in the fourth inning seeled the Phillies fate and has put them into a two game hole. Kaz Matsui fell one single short of the cycle but his five RBIs surely made up for it.

Rockies lead 2-0
Yankees 3, Indians 12
The Yankees got to C.C. Sabathia early with Johnny Damon's leadoff homerun. While Sabathia was able to settle in, Chien Ming Wang never got comfortable, adventually giving up 8 earned runs including homeruns to Asdrubal Cabrera and Victor Martinez in the Yankees loss.

Indians lead 1-0
Cubs 4, Diamondbacks 8
The Cubs pitching was once again less than desirable as Ted Lilly gave up six runs in just three and a third innings while Arizona's Doug Davis was able to keep the Cubbies at bay in the D'backs win. Chris Young had a big game driving in three from his second inning homerun that put the Diamondbacks in front and they never looked back.

Diamondbacks lead 2-0

Baseball Notes: Video showed Rockies closer Manny Corpas pouring liquid on his shirt while in the bullpen prior to entering Wednesday's game. For video click here...In other Rockies news, they voted to give a team share to Mike Coolbaugh's widow. Coolbaugh was killed during a Rockies minor league game while coaching first base...In weird injury news, the Yankees Doug Mienkiewicz injured his ankle prior to the start of game one when he became tangled with a cameraman. The cameraman was a freelancer from Cleveland who was hired by the YES Network. Beging your conspiracy theories now...I'm sure you all noticed a special appearance by LeBron James during the Indians game on Thursday. James, wearing a Yankees cap, told TBS reporter Craig Sager (who went for an orange blazer) "I've always been a Yankee fan. I'm a big Derek Jeter fan." Even though James is a Yankees fan, it didn't stop C.C. Sabathia from sending him a Indians rally towel.
NASCAR Update:
Chase race number four brings the Cup boys to Talladega for their first ever COT plate race. It will also feature rookie driver Jacques Villeneuve who has gotten many drivers including Jeff Gordon in a tizzy. Will it be a major crash fest? Or will the new cars provide a safe and exciting race? You'll have to tune in to find out. Watch the UAW-Ford 500 at 1 PM/est on ABC.
The Truck Series announced their 2008 schedule.
Motorsports Authentics said they will lose between $20 and $25 million in 2007. Darn Dale, Jr. screws up everything with his whole Hendrick move. I say, Motorsports sees a $50 million profit next year.
Popo in my crib news:
Marion Jones is expected to enter a guilty plea in federal court on Friday. Jones has denied any steriod use in the past but wrote a letter to friends and family admitting she used steriods from 1999-2001. Her five medals which see won during the Sidney summer games are now in doubt. Watch out Marion, because the popo are on your tail!

Briggs crashed his Lamborghini on August 27th and left the scene. He recieved a year of court supervision and 120 hours of community service. Watch out Lance, because the popo are on your tail!
