Things got hot in LA this weekend and it looks like we may have a real series on our hands. A few head-seeking fastballs, a little bench-clearing, and a whole lot of jawing just turned this NLCS into a tense and competitive slugfest. Game 4 is tonight. Joe Blanton is winless in Chavez Ravine this season. Derek Lowe is pitching on 3-days rest. Gear up, Philly, this could get good as the Phils try to take control in a 3-1 series, or allow the Dodgers to knot it up at 2-2.

Just as fans were coming to terms with the Phils missing the playoffs, they switched to Fox and saw that their next big hope, the Philadelphia Eagles, were quickly on their way to a mediocre 2 - 2 start to their season. The Eagles, who followed up a tough opening night loss to Atlanta with two wins over the San Francisco 49ers and Oakland Raiders, went down quickly to the Kansas City Chiefs, who pounced on them early and built up a 17 - 0 lead. A Sheldon Brown interception return for a touchdown sparked the team, but a missed extra point and a kickoff return by Chiefs return man Dante Hall for a touchdown quickly deflated them.

David Akers sat crying on the sidelines after yesterday's afternoon game against the Oakland Raiders. He stood crying on the field, as well. And he walked on the sidelines, crying. There was a lot of crying going on, basically. But the good kind. Well, the good, torn hamstring kind.

It was inside-out last night in Philadelphia as the Phillies stepped up big in an important game while the Eagles shrivelled up and fumbled their way to a 14-10 loss to the Atlanta Falcons last night. The Eagles were slow out of the gate, allowing the Falcons to ring up 14 quick points. This might have been due to the Eagles first blunder of the evening, which happened before kickoff. Jeremiah Trotter got into a shoving match with Falcons cornerback Kevin Mathis during team warmups. The two players were ejected from the game for throwing punches, even though Trotter didn't actually throw a punch. Still, he retaliated to Mathis' taunts and was thrown from the game, taking away a key component of the Eagles' defense.
