Philadelphia Phillies starting pitcher Roy Halladay delivers a pitch to the Cincinnati Reds during the first inning in Game 1 of the MLB National League Division Series baseball playoffs in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, October 6, 2010. Halladay threw a no-hitter in his playoff debut to beat the Cincinnati Reds 4-0 on Wednesday in the opening game of their best-of-five National League Division Series.

This is only the second no-hitter in the history of the Major League Baseball post season. The other no-hitter was a "perfect game" pitched by the New York Yankees

(Reuters) - China claimed their fourth successive men's team title at the gymnastics world championships after rivals Japan tumbled out of the running with a fall from the horizontal bar on Thursday.

Olympic champions China took a narrow 0.794 of a point lead into the final rotation and Japan's gold-medal hopes were all but dashed when Kazuhito Tanaka fell to the mat from the bar.

That left China knowing three wobble-free performances would land them the top prize and they did not disappoint.

Former Olympic champion Teng Haibin punched his fists into the air when he sealed victory for the Asian powerhouse with a total of 274.997 points.

Japan earned silver with 273.769 and crowd favorites Germany picked up bronze after scoring 271.252.

"I can't express how I felt when he fell," Japan team manager Yusuke Ikeda told reporters. "I knew that the title was gone."

An inconsolable Tanaka added: "I'm very sad, I did my best."

The Chinese, led by Olympic rings champion Chen Yibing, were solid on all their six rotations while Japan made costly errors on the rings as well as the horizontal bar.

"I have already experienced this event and we got the gold before so I did not feel so nervous. I just wanted to encourage my team mates to win because they are less experienced," said a beaming Yibing.

Welcome back pla101prc!

Basically there was some hard fouls then pushing and shoving then things got out of hand. It was so bad that the refs called the games off.

tie domi?? WTH.. That dude head is enormous. Hence the last name "Domi". But he could fight. That is one reason I never really liked the NHL style of Ice hockey in the regular season. Way too much fighting. Stupid. Now the NHL playoffs are tense and exciting.

FIFA awards the 2018 WC to Russia.. and the 2022 Qatar..

I'm very surprised if not shocked about Qatar wining the 2022 bid for the WC. Congratulations.... Unbelievable.

Something does not smell right. The whole thing stinks. I do not understand how FIFA can waive its own rules and award the WC to Qatar. Something stinks.

I wish a new Worldwide governing body would rise up for soccer/fubol/football and unseat FIFA as the new governing body of soccer/fubol/football.

This has got to be a joke or nightmare..Right?? Maybe I'll wake up in a few minutes and be back to reality...
