NFL No Comments »

There are tangible reminders of Sean Taylor at Redskins Park. The wooden plaque near new head coach Jim Zorn’s office, for example. Or the Pro Bowl safety’s locker room stall, still arranged precisely as it was the day he died. And then there are the reminders no one can touch or see, the vivid memories of Taylor that allowed him to make his way into his former teammates’ thoughts Sunday, when the…

MLB No Comments »

St. Louis Cardinals relief pitcher Jason Isringhausen sits on the bench after being pulled out of a baseball game against the San Diego Padres during the ninth inning of a baseball game Sunday, July 20, 2008, in St. Louis. Isringhausen blew the save attempt, but the Cardinals went on to win 9-5.

Tony La Russa was hoping for a line-drive single or a sacrifice fly. Aaron Miles, too. Instead, he shocked the San Diego Padres with power. Miles’ grand slam in the ninth inning, the first game-ending hit of his career, helped the St. Louis Cardinals recover from another blown save by Jason Isringhausen in a 9-5 victory over San Diego on Sunday that wrapped up a four-game sweep.

New York Mets' Robinson Cancel watches his double off Cincinnati Reds pitcher Bill Bray in the tenth inning of a baseball game, Sunday, July 20, 2008 in Cincinnati. The Mets won 7-5.

Ready for an encore, Shea? One month after they fired their manager, the New York Mets are headed home with a share of first place and a showdown ahead. Their next act comes at Shea Stadium, where they can provide a fitting follow to the ballpark’s farewell concerts by Billy Joel last week.
