Then again, Costas and Collins have done 10 of the team's 50 games - 11 of 51, counting Sunday's playoff opener. ``Nobody had a more up-close-and-personal view of what went on with L.A.,'' Collins claimed.

Here's how Detroit Free Press The Detroit Free Press is the largest daily newspaper in Detroit, Michigan, USA. It is sometimes informally referred to as the "Freep". Some still refer to it locally as "The Friendly" -- a slogan from an ad campaign in the '70s.  columnist Mitch Albom ended a recent column on the Colorado-Detroit series, but it applies to all games at this time of the year: ``Blood has been shed Blood Has Been Shed is a Hardcore group from Connecticut. They are known for having two members of Killswitch Engage (Howard Jones and Justin Foley) in the band, though Blood Has Been Shed's style is more extreme. . Anger has been lit.

FRIDAY

In the six games they played last year at St. Louis, Mark McGwire pounded the Dodgers for four homers. And he beat Sammy Sosa by four. Coincidence? The pitching victims were Ramon Martinez (No. 1 of 70, a grand slam), Frank Langford (No. 2, a 12th-inning game-winner), Brian Bohanon (No. 41) and Antonio Osuna (No. 42). Only one of those four is still with the Dodgers and he's barely hanging on. Coincidence? Tired of seeing the word ``coincidence'' at the end of every moronic mo·ron
