** New York Yankees third baseman Alex Rodriguez apparently will not start again today for the Yankees in the ALCS.

There are also reports the Yankees and Miami Marlins might talk a trade for the Florida native.
** Lance Armstrong has a double dose of bad news; NIKE and others drop him as a sponsor and he steps down as chairman from Livestrong, his cancer fighting charity in the midst of allegations he illegally used performance enhancing drugs in winning the Tour De France.
