Ex-Cub Factor: Ex-Cub Matt Stairs hit the biggest homer of his career to help give his current team, the Phillies, a 3-1 lead over the Dodgers in the NLCS. He didn't get a chance to hit any big homers with the Cubs.
Not Bad Work If You Can Get It (Actually I have good blood lines): Big Brown was the only stallion not chasing the filly at the finish of this year's Kentucky Derby (the ill-fated Eight Belles who died running away from the rest of the boys). Now he doesn't even need to chase the fillies; they'll be bringing them to him.
