So what if your woman throws like a girl? Does that mean you're not going to score? (Touchdowns, silly! We mean touchdowns!) We sent Whitney Casey -- who throws a wicked spiral (see this clip) -- to the Jets camp to find out how Chad Pennington rates a pass. Let's see: Big wind-up, no yardage ... Yep, it's all in the grip.

Page 2's Brian Murphy says the odd thing about Game 5 between the A's and the Red Sox is that someone actually is going to win, and that just doesn't compute with either of these two choking-dog franchises. (See: Buckner, Bill; and Giambi, Jeremy.) But where do they rank in Baseball's Pantheon of Gag Artists?

Roommate Wanted Best Uniform Bracket
Pens' rookie Marc Andre-Fleury and team owner Mario Lemieux were roomies during camp. Page 2's Graham Hays wonders what might happen if, say, Vlad Guerrero moved in with his team's owner.
 No, the Cubs and the Yankees aren't matching up in the World Series. Not yet, anyway. But they go head-to-head right now in the second round of Page 2's Best Uniform Bracket. Voting begins today. Don't miss out!

THE DAILY QUICKIE
The Daily Quickie says the Red Sox are in trouble if Pedro Martinez is merely mortal on Monday. Plus, kicking to Dante becomes like pitching to Barry, and an extra-special bonus to the Cubs' win: More Sarah!


We've seen a glut of gutsy calls over the last few weeks -- Ken Macha's 12th-inning bunt; Dom Capers' last-second QB sneak; Bob Stoops' fake punt. But do they measure up to the bravery on our list of the gutsiest calls of all time??
10]  Pinch Stanley Cup Goalie
It's the second period of Game 2, 1928, and the New York Rangers' starting goalie, Lorne Chabot, is knocked unconscious. With no backup available, the Rangers' 44-year-old coach, Lester Patrick, turns to . . . himself.
9]  Rookie to the Rescue
Angels' manager Mike Scioscia braves the uncertainties surrounding Francisco Rodriguez, who had pitched a total of 5 2/3 major-league innings, and adds him to Anaheim's 2002 postseason roster.
8]  Fearless Freshman
North Carolina trails Georgetown by a point in the closing seconds of the 1982 NCAA championship game. Dean Smith has veterans James Worthy and Sam Perkins as go-to guys, but diagrams a play for a freshman named Michael Jordan.

BUM-RUSHED
