LOS ANGELES - The Phillies and Dodgers are back in the National League championship series for the second straight year, making them the closest thing the NL has to a couple of dominant teams. They are the first repeat teams since Houston and St. Louis squared off in 2004 and '05, and only the third repeaters since Atlanta and Pittsburgh met in 1991 and '92.
PHILADELPHIA - Maybe the sign reading "Ya Gotta Believe" that was hanging under the bleacher seats in center field inspired Pat Burrell and Chase Utley to go deep. After Manny Ramirez's drive fell short of leaving the park, the slogan had to get fans thinking this just might be the Philadelphia Phillies' year.

The Division Series were over in a week. Three of baseball's four first-round playoff series were three-game sweeps, and the other ended in four games when the Cleveland Indians eliminated the New York Yankees on Monday night. The only first-round drama came courtesy of insects in Cleveland on Sunday. With midges flying around the players at Jacobs Field, Yankees reliever Joba Chamberlain, trying to hold a one-run lead in the eighth inning, gave up two walks, hit a batter and threw two wild pitches. The Indians tied the score and won 2-1 in 11 innings.

But consider the following: Just three key players remain from the Cleveland Indians team that took the Boston Red Sox to seven games in the 2007 American League Championship Series before losing. Yet, the Indians currently own the A.L.'s best record.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 15 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- In a high-stakes wager placing Ghirardelli and Hershey's chocolates on the line, Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Senator Arlen Specter today announced that they have placed a friendly wager on the National League Championship series between the Philadelphia Phillies and the San Francisco Giants. The winner of the bet will receive a supply of delicacies from the loser's home district: Ghirardelli's chocolate from San Francisco or Hershey's chocolate from Pennsylvania. The first game in the series is Saturday. I am not sure which part of this bet will be sweeter, the Phillies in the World Series again, or enjoying Ghirardelli's chocolate while watching the Phillies in the World Series," Specter said. "I commend Speaker Pelosi for sticking with her ...
