    Angels Beat Yanks 5-3, Tie ALDS at 1-1 (AP)

AP - Orlando Cabrera, Bengie Molina and the Angels' slick gloves got Los
 Angeles even against the New York Yankees. Cabrera scored the tying run
 after a costly error by Alex Rodriguez and hit a go-ahead single,
 Molina got two big hits and Los Angeles beat the Yankees 5-3 Wednesday
 night to tie their AL division series at one game apiece.

    Yanks' Errors, Lack of Hitting Costs Them (AP)

AP - Alex Rodriguez may have been the most shocked person in the park.
 The Yankees' third baseman looked in his glove, and it was empty. The
 Gold Glove winner's sixth-inning error on a lazy chopper led to the
 Angels' tying run, and Los Angeles rallied for a 5-3 victory Wednesday
 night to even the AL division series at one game apiece.

    Astros Batter Braves 10-5 in NLDS Opener (AP)

AP - The Atlanta Braves are in a familiar position: trailing a playoff
 series and staring at another October disappointment. For the fourth
 year in a row, the Braves started the postseason with a Game 1 loss at
 home, this time falling to Morgan Ensberg and the Houston Astros 10-5
 on Wednesday.

    ChiSox Put Boston on Hot Seat With 5-4 Win (AP)

AP - The Red Sox are reeling. The defending World Series champions need
 another big comeback -- this time just to get out of the first round of
 this year's playoffs. The White Sox are rolling. They'll reach the AL
 championship series with one more victory, thanks to a pair of
 homer-filled wins at U.S. Cellular Field.

    Crosby and Gretzky Lose in Debuts (AP)

AP - Hockey was back in full force Wednesday night as all 30 NHL teams
 were in action from coast to coast. Wayne Gretzky lost, and so did
 Sidney Crosby. It's way too early to tell what side of the ledger the
 NHL will fall on in its return following a season lost to the lockout.

    Titans' Goal Is to Run the Ball More (AP)

AP - If it seems as if the Tennessee Titans just don't run the way they
 used to, it's because they haven't. The Titans have rushed 95 times in
 235 offensive plays through the first four games. That's the lowest
 percentage of total plays since 1999, when they ran only 99 plays out
 of 243 in their first four and reached its only Super Bowl.

    Louis Williams Wants Allen Iverson's Spot (AP)

AP - Louis Williams wears a headband like Allen Iverson. He's starting
 to tattoo his arms like Iverson. And Williams seems to care little
 about the opinions other have of him, just like -- sound familiar? --
 Iverson. So it's really no surprise that Williams has his goals set
 pretty high, especially for an 18-year-old second-round draft pick: He
 wants Iverson's job.

    White Sox Take 2-0 Lead in Red Sox Series (AP)

AP - The Chicago White Sox came back from four runs down to post a 5-4
 win over the World Champion Boston Red Sox last night, and take a
 commanding 2-0 lead in their best-of-five American League Division
 Series.

    Chivas USA, Rapids Tie After Borchers Slip (AP)

    Wayne Gretzky Loses in Coaching Debut (AP)

AP - Wayne Gretzky got his first regular-season game -- and first loss
 -- as an NHL coach out of the way. The Great One thinks his Phoenix
 Coyotes will provide him plenty of opportunities to celebrate
 victories.

    Coley Twins Are Big Hit at Southern Miss. (AP)

AP - Quarterbacks aren't necessarily seeing double. There really are two
 Coleys making most of Southern Mississippi's big hits on defense.

    Puerta Advances at Japan Open (AP)

AP - Top-seeded Mariano Puerta defeated U.S. qualifier Eric Taino 6-3,
 6-4 in the second round of the Japan Open on Wednesday when rain led to
 postponements and a backlog of matches.

    Sponsors Banking on Wie's Global Appeal (AP)

AP - The amateur records of Tiger Woods and Michelle Wie are nothing
 alike. Woods whipped up on boys his age, finishing his career without
 pay by becoming the first male to win three straight U.S. Amateur
 titles. Wie sought out the best competition, which took her to
 professional tournaments from the time she was 12. She never won, but
 her feats are no less amazing. The one thing they do have in common is
 their tremendous marketability.
