the Phillies did play great baseball and Manuel is one of the best Managers in the game right now - I'm really impressed with the strategic moves he made throughout this World Series.

I just heard on the espn that the analyst Fernando Vina said he would have brought in the Rays BEST pitcher right away to shut down the Philles...and David Price is the only Rays bullpen pitcher to be able to retire the side tonight...Price wasn't the # 1 draft pick in the country last year by accident - he was stretched out, rested, and could have gone at least 3 innings. Gotta go with your best arm when your back's up against the wall and you have no margin for error...The Rays are still a young team and they have a great Manager too.

Golfer John Daly Spends Night in Jail to Sober Up, Police Say

By Nancy Kercheval

Oct. 29 (Bloomberg) -- John Daly, who's won two of golf's four major tournaments, spent the night in jail after police responded to calls for assistance with an intoxicated person at a Hooters Inc. restaurant in Winston-Salem, North Carolina.

Daly, who had earlier lost consciousness, refused to go to a hospital, leading emergency medical personnel to summon police about 2:17 a.m. Oct. 26, according to the police report.

Daly ``appeared extremely intoxicated and uncooperative,'' police said in their report of the incident. Daly is a ``regular'' at Hooters, one of his sponsors, according to the golfer's Web site.

Since the 42-year-old, who was asked to leave the premises by Hooters' personnel, had no transportation, officers took him into custody ``out of concern for his level of intoxication,'' police said.

He was taken to the Forsyth County Law Enforcement Detention Center for ``a 24-hour sober up,'' police said. Daly's agent Bud Martin didn't immediately answer an e-mail seeking comment.

In July, Daly challenged former coach Butch Harmon to ``be a man'' following a row about his lifestyle.

Daly, the 1995 British Open winner, had issues with Harmon after the coach dropped him and said in an interview with the Golf Channel that the ``most important thing in his life is getting drunk.''

Earlier this season, Daly, who also won the 1991 PGA Championship as the ninth alternate, spent most of a rain delay during the first round of the PODS Championship in Palm Harbor, Florida, in a Hooters hospitality tent.

When play resumed, Daly had Jon Gruden, coach of the National Football League's Tampa Bay Buccaneers, as his caddie. He missed the cut after a second-round 80. Harmon then said Daly was more interested in alcohol than golf.

The following week, Daly was disqualified from the Arnold Palmer Invitational for missing his tee time for the event's Pro-Am tournament. Daly said he was given the wrong information by a tournament official.
