commerce – The Philadelphia Phillies used sixth-inning home runs by Chase Utley and Pat Burrell to beat the L.A. Dodgers 3-2 in the opener of the National League Championship
Series. The teams play again late Friday afternoon in Philadelphia before the series shifts to Los Angeles on the weekend.
A pair of well-rested American League East foes hook up Friday night in the opener of the AL Championship Series. The upstart Tampa Bay Rays send out James Shields in the opener against Daisuke Matsuzaka of the wild card Boston Red Sox.
The Dallas Cowboys say they'll take no disciplinary action against troubled cornerback Adam "Pacman" Jones for his scuffle with his bodyguard. Team owner Jerry Jones
says the incident resulted from joking banter that got out of hand and was quickly settled, and how, after a 17-month suspension last year, the NFL will treat the situation seriously.
Meanwhile, head coach Wade Philips is trying to prepare for a game this Sunday.
The Cowboys should have Pacman Jones this weekend, and be minus cornerback Terence Newman to a sports hernia as they face a high-flying Arizona offense. Star receiver Anquan Boldin is not expected to play for the Cardinals after sustaining a sinus fracture on a vicious hit in week 4.
