This Day in Baseball, Playoff Edition: October 18

Before last night, the most memorable homers of this post-season had been hit by Brad Ausmus and Chris Burke. Not your most likely suspects.

Albert Pujols. That's a little more like it.

The Cardinals still have to beat Roy Oswalt, and if they do that, they have to beat Roger Clemens.

The Yankees have received permission to talk to Leo Mazzone. The Mets tried this in 2002, and Mazzone wasn't tempted. The Braves did kick in a nice raise to sweeten the pot.

The Yankees have more at stake, of course - mainly the millions of dollars they've invested in Jaret Wright.

No baseball today? What's up with that?
