October 23, 2012 The St. Louis Cardinals looked World Series-bound. They were leading the San Francisco Giants in the National League Championship Series three games to one, when the unthinkable happened. The Cards quit connecting with the bat and the Giants reeled off three straight games to clinch their second National League title in three years.

Owensboro Catholic senior Rebecca Greenwell is currently ranked sixth in the nation among the 2013 recruiting class. Until Thursday, Greenwell had narrowed down her choices in the NCAA to two, Notre Dame and Duke. She had also previously visited with Vanderbilt, Georgia, North Carolina, Tennessee, and of course visits with in-state rivals, Louisville and Kentucky.

October 8, 2012 On Sunday at Talladega, defending NASCAR Sprint Cup champ Tony Stewart set off a 25-car wreck, which somehow Matt Kenseth avoided, allowing him to come away with the win under caution. Fortunately this huge pile-up didn't lead to any infield confrontations, but quite often they do.
