SPOOKY BASEBALL AND FOOTBALL MID WEEK PUNCHING OUT THE WINNERS .

Tuesday's List of 13: Things I (re)learned this baseball season.

13) Pitching and defense keeps you in games; offense wins games. Don`t think me? Ask the Padres and A`s, who stayed home for the playoffs despite quality pitching and defense. Why? They couldn`t hit. 12) TGFC, that`s the slogan in Flushing. Thank God for the Clippers, or else the Mets would be the worst-run sports franchise in America.
