DETROIT (AP) -- Magglio Ordonez lofted a high fly ball to left field and when it landed, a most amazing thing: the Detroit Tigers in the World Serie

And too expensive. 5208. jexster - 10/15/2006 11:14:16 PM And some are at night when COLD is the least of a white man's worry in DEEtroit 5209. wabbit - 10/16/2006 1:14:40 AM  James Blake defeated Jarkko Nieminen 6-4, 6-2 Sunday to win the Stockholm Open for the second straight year. The second-seeded American became the first player since Thomas Enqvist in 1996 to defend his title at the Royal Tennis Hall. The 26-year-old Blake also improved his chances of reaching the season-ending Tennis Masters Cup next month in Shanghai, China. He is sixth in the standings with 410 points, with the top eight qualifying. It was the fifth ATP title of the season for Blake, tying him for second with Rafael Nadal. Only Roger Federer (nine) has won more.
American teenager Vania King rallied past Tamarine Tanasugarn 2-6, 6-4, 6-4 Sunday to win the Bangkok Open and her first WTA title. King used aggressive groundstrokes and came back from a 2-4 deficit in the third set to win in her first final. She is the first 17-year-old from the United States to win a WTA title since Serena Williams won the U.S. Open in 1999.
5210. wabbit - 10/16/2006 1:14:58 AM  Trainer Todd Pletcher broke what he once considered an unattainable record, earning his 93rd stakes win of the season with Scat Daddy, a three-quarter-length winner of the $400,000 Champagne Stakes (G1) on Saturday at Belmont Park. One day after equaling the record for stakes wins in a season set by former mentor D. Wayne Lukas, Pletcher broke it when Scat Daddy dug in with determination and overtook two foes in the stretch. Pletcher also has 52 graded stakes wins this season, one short of Lukas's record.
Martin Schwartz's Gorella (Fr) won her third straight start as she rebuffed a game rally by Karen's Caper in deep stretch to win the $400,000 First Lady Stakes (G2) on Saturday at Keeneland Race Course. The four-year-old Grape Tree Road (GB) filly, who finished third behind Artie Schiller and Leroidesanimaux in last year's Breeders' Cup Mile (G1) at Belmont Park, could be headed for another shot at the Mile or a tough test against the best of her own division in the Breeders' Cup Filly and Mare Turf (G1) following the impressive performance. Trained by Patrick Biancone, Gorella entered off back-to-back victories in the Just a Game Handicap (G2) on June 10 at Belmont and the Beverly D. Stakes (G1) on August 12 at Arlington Park.
Trainer Michael Stidham was thinking Breeders' Cup following Sutra's impressive 1 3/4-length victory in the $400,000 Frizette Stakes (G1) on Saturday at Belmont Park. In only her third start, the dark bay or brown Meadowlake filly has won a Grade 1 race, finished second in a Grade 3, and proven to Stidham that she can compete with the best in her division.
Jockey Carlos Marquez Jr. turned Vacare loose in the stretch, guiding the Lear Fan filly to a half-length win in Saturday's $500,000 Queen Elizabeth II Challenge Cup Stakes (G1) at Keeneland Race Course. Winning trainer Chris Block said that he wanted Vacare to settle near the back of the field, but the bay filly wanted to go to the front early in the 1 1/8-mile race.
5211. wabbit - 10/16/2006 1:15:14 AM  Shut out of the end zone through the first five games of the season, Joe Horn did two shoulder-shaking end zone dances after catches of 14 and 48 yards, then John Carney hit a 31-yard field goal as time expired to lift the New Orleans Saints to a 27-24 victory over the Eagles on Sunday. New Orleans (5-1) now enters its bye week in first place in the NFC South. If any are still doubting the surprising start of a revamped New Orleans team that went 3-13 last season, the Eagles, who were favored on the road coming in, can't be counted among them.
Jake Delhomme threw for a career-high 365 yards and two touchdowns, and Carolina slipped past the Baltimore Ravens 23-21 Sunday for its fourth straight win. After Ravens quarterback Steve McNair left with a concussion and sprained neck in the first quarter, Kyle Boller took over. A starter for three years before being displaced by McNair, Boller threw three touchdown passes to provide Baltimore (4-2) with its biggest scoring output since Week 2. But every time Boller and the Ravens did something right, Delhomme answered. His favorite target was Steve Smith, who had eight catches for 189 yards and a score.
Terrell Owens capped his turnaround from local scourge to fan favorite by catching three second-half touchdowns, taking the Dallas Cowboys from a tight game against the Houston Texans to an easy 34-6 victory Sunday.
