World Series Heads to St. Louis All Tied Up For the first time in the postseason, the St. Louis Cardinals saw more of the old Jeff Weaver than the new. For a change, it’s his teammates’ turn to pick up the slack. Staff ace Chris Carpenter, who won neither of his starts in a tense seven-game NLCS against the New York Mets, makes his World Series debut in Game 3 on Tuesday night. After that it’ll be NLCS MVP Jeff Suppan, who has a 1.86 ERA in the postseason, in Game 4. “We’ve got the horses coming up,” Weaver said.…

Johnson Wins at Martinsville; Burton Loses Chase Lead Jimmie Johnson was able to hold off a hard charging Denny Hamlin in the final laps of the Subway 500 on an emotional day for Hendrick Motorsports.

Johnson took the lead from Bobby Labonte on lap 444 and never looked back despite a tough battle with Denny…

Flyers GM Resigns, Coach Fired After Worst Start in 15 Years Flyers general manager Bob Clarke resigned and coach Ken Hitchcock was fired in a dramatic shakeup Sunday, with Philadelphia off to its worst start in more than 15 years.

The Flyers are 1-6-1 and have the fewest points in the NHL. “The decisions that had to be made, I was letting other people make them,” said Clarke,…
Cards Down Tigers; Take 1-0 World Series Lead Rest can be overrated. The St. Louis Cardinals managed just fine in Game 1 of the World Series without much. And maybe those hard-throwing Detroit Tigers, who had a week off, aren’t so tough after all. Rookie Anthony Reyes pitched brilliantly into the ninth inning, Albert Pujols made Detroit pay for pitching to him, and Scott Rolen also homered to help St. Louis cruise past the ragged Tigers 7-2 in the World Series opener Saturday night. “Nobody expected us to win here,” Pujols said. “They have a great team out there. The…
Cards Down Mets; Will Meet Tigers in World Series Though the New York Mets lost Game 7 of the NL championship series, they might have found a pitcher for the future. Oliver Perez, 3-13 with a 6.55 ERA this season for the Mets and Pirates, was a fallback starter after injuries to Pedro Martinez and Orlando Hernandez. He held the Cardinals to four hits in six innings and left with the score tied 1-1. “I’m real proud of Oliver,” manager Willie Randolph said. “He did a tremendous job for us.” Perez, 25, appeared to be a rising star a few…

Bettors who took Arizona were extremely pleased Monday night as Arizona easily covered the spread. Online Sports Book Bodog.com had Arizona as a +11.5 home underdog. The total was set at 40 points, Monday nights game went over the total.
