Heidi Klum strips off her skin for Halloween

Heidi Klum - no really, it's her
Photo Credit: Getty
Let's face it, Heidi Klum may be beautiful, but she's a bit loopy - and if there's one night that her madness really shows itself, it's Halloween…
Her previous intricate party costumes have included a cat, a crow, a robot and the goddess Kali… but this year she topped them all. And scared the bejeezus out of all of us.
Looking like she'd stripped off every last piece of her skin, Heidi was under a sheet on a gurney as she was wheeled onto the red carpet by two doctors. Then she proceeded to get up and show off her full scary costume for the photographers at her party in Vegas.
I don't know about you, but if I'd come face to face with THAT in the ladies' after a few cocktails… petrified wouldn't even cover it.
Heidi compared her skintight-costume to wandering around in the nude, saying:
"It’s kind of like a dead body with the first layer of skin ripped off.
"It’s basically like me naked.
"All my veins and blood will all be visible… You don’t feel quite naked with it because it is so colourful!

Indian GP: Massa retires as Vettel still in lead
Ferrari struggled on the hard compound tyre earlier in the season, with Massa in particular enduring a tough time trying to get the best out of the tyres when they were used in the first half of the season.
The fact that India will be a step into the unknown means Pirelli has been somewhat conservative with its selection for the first race at the Buddh International Circuit and Massa said he hoped Ferrari didn't suffer from the same problems it had faced earlier in the year.Ferrari's Massa failed to complete the inaugural Indian GP after his collision with Hamilton as Vettel continued to lead the race after the completion of 48 laps.
Formula One Race Centre | Formula One Statistics
Reigning Formula One champion Sebastian Vettel pits out of the lead to take on soft tyres. He came out still in first place to lead the race.
At Lap 24, all went wrong for Hamilton and Massa as they came together. Hamilton had a run alongside Massa going into the corner but Massa turned in on him resulting in a collision. Hamilton took a pit stop for a new front wing while Massa continued.
Chelsea 3-5 Arsenal: Van-tastic Gunners glorious as Terry takes a tumble
"You know how it is on the bench when you are 4-3 up with two minutes to go," he said with a wry smile. "You do not necessarily encourage your team to become crazy. But that's the brand of our team, of our club. Sometimes you get rewarded, sometimes you pay for it."Robin van Persie scored an incredible hat-trick as Arsenal ran riot with a thrilling London derby win over Chelsea at Stamford Bridge.
John Terry slipped to allow Van Persie through with five minutes left and he put Arsenal 4-3 ahead before he completed his hat-trick in injury time to give the Gunners a morale boosting 5-3 victory.Robin van Persie's hat-trick inspired Arsenal to an incredible victory against Chelsea as their recovery gathered momentum in a Stamford Bridge thriller.
The Gunners captain demonstrated his importance to the team by taking his tally to an outstanding 28 goals in 27 Premier League games as Chelsea slumped again after their shock defeat at QPR last week.

UFC 137 results: Nick Diaz beats BJ Penn, calls out champ Georges St-Pierre
Trumpeted as the first non-Brazilian to win a BJJ world championship in the black belt category, the scrawny Hawaiian kid that meekly made his way into the cage looked commonplace and far from menacing. He seemed like just another fighter in just another fight.
This was during an era where most submission specialists were flailing punches like school girls or butt flopping uncontrollably like a dog with the runs dragging himself across the carpet. Instead, Penn erupted into a violent storm of strikes and left his first three opponents broken and asleep on the canvas before screaming something about Hilo and rappelling up into the arena rafters, exiting with a "WTF just happened?"sort of panache like Batman.Mere moments after manhandling BJ Penn in the main event of UFC 137, Nick Diaz made it clear who he wants next in Ultimate Fighting Championship’s octagon.
“Where you at, Georges? Where you at, (expletive)?” he shouted as he paced the cage.
Georges – well, that would be UFC welterweight champion Georges St-Pierre. Diaz, who was originally scheduled to face St-Pierre at UFC 137 before being pulled from the title bout after missing two media events, will get a second chance at the title after an eye-opening unanimous decision over Penn at a sold-out Mandalay Bay Events Center on Saturday night in Las Vegas.
Everton 0-1 Manchester United: Premier League Highlights (Video)
The United manager also suggested it would be a hard game – but it was not. Unusually in the recent history of this fixture, Everton went a goal down and could not come up with a reply. There was no fightback, no stirring of supporters' passions to set the old ground rocking, just a quiet acceptance of the fact that, even playing within themselves, United were strong enough to take the three points.The Mexican tapped in after 19 minutes to get the champions back on track in the Barclays Premier League after last week's 6-1 thrashing by Manchester City.
Yet it was a far from convincing performance by United and Everton twice went close to equalising as Leighton Baines hit the bar and David de Gea saved brilliantly from Jack Rodwell.
West Brom v Liverpool [West Brom 0-2 Liverpool]
The Baggies failed to match their opponents throughout the game and went behind to an early Adam penalty when Luis Suarez was tripped.
Carroll scored just before half-time when he was put through by Suarez's pass following Jonas Olsson's error.
Somen Tchoyi had the hosts' best chances but they were well beaten.
A shot past the post from the Cameroonian striker - a stand-in for the injured Shane Long - just after the break represented one of West Brom's few meaningful efforts.The skipper who was the Reds inspiration has now played only eight full games this calendar year – but Luis Suarez is turning into the Kop’s new talisman.
And the striker underlined it with a brilliant display last night.
He won an early penalty for Charlie Adam then set up Andy Carroll for a second goal as Kenny Dalglish’s side extended their unbeaten run to seven games.Liverpool were crisp in their passing and willing to make more supporting runs from the beginning of the game, and at times they outclassed their opponents.
Kenny Dalglish's side, who were without Steven Gerrard with an ankle infection and Jamie Carragher with a calf strain, were also quicker to the loose ball.
While West Brom seemed to sit too deep, allowing Adam and his team-mates time to switch play with relative ease.
Manchester City vs Wolverhampton Wanderers 3-1 All Goals & Highlights 29.10.2011
City went ahead early in the second half when Edin Dzeko converted the loose ball after Sergio Aguero had pounced on some hesitant play by the previously impressive Wayne Hennessey, and the Wanderers goalkeeper then palmed David Silva's shot into the path of Aleksandar Kolarov, who made it 2-0 in the 67th minute.Manchester City survived a nervy 16 minutes playing with 10 men to beat Wolves and maintain their five-point lead at the top of the table.
Edin Dzeko put City ahead after an error from Wayne Hennessey, who was then unable to hold David Silva's shot, with Aleksandar Kolarov slotting home.
Vincent Kompany was sent off after conceding a penalty that was converted by Stephen Hunt to give Wolves hope.
But Adam Johnson's curling shot in stoppage time clinched the points.

Stoke City 1-2 Liverpool: Carling Cup Highlights (Video)
Hosts Stoke took a 1-0 advantage heading into the break courtesy of Kenwyne Jones, who headed in Jonathan Walters cross after the Irishman caught Sebastian Coates in possession.
Suarez's first goal of the night came nine minutes after the restart. The Uruguayan took the ball past Ryan Shotton before curling the ball into the top corner beyond the reach of Thomas Sorenson in goal. Luis Suárez answered some of his critics with
the two goals that took Liverpool into the Carling Cup quarter-finals. A goal down at the interval, the visitors were indebted to their Uruguayan striker for masterminding their recovery almost single-handedly, dispelling in the process the myth that he does not convert enough chances to be regarded a clinical finisher. He missed a few chances here too but there was nothing wrong with the two goals that he claimed. Liverpool made eight changes from the draw with Norwich at the weekend but kept faith with Suárez,
Wolverhampton 2-5 Manchester City (Carling Cup)
Wolves took a shock lead when Nenad Milijas smashed in before Adam Johnson equalised from the edge of the area.
It was 3-1 four minutes later when Johnson's ball was tucked home by Samir Nasri before Edin Dzeko tapped in.
A Dorus De Vries own goal extended the lead and Dzeko turned in the fifth before Wolves' Jamie O'Hara converted Stephen Ward's ball from the left.
Five more goals from City meant that the Manchester club have scored 15 goals in their last three games.
They started poorly though as Wolves took the lead before the game was turned on its head in four madcap first-half minutes.

Tottenham 1 - 0 Rubin Kazan
Redknapp emerged from the Luka Modric to Chelsea saga in the summer still hanging on to the Croatian playmaker and with a side he rates as stronger than the one that powered Tottenham into the Champions League for the first time two seasons ago.
The arrival of Scott Parker and Emmanuel Adebayor strengthened midfield and attack but with the Premier League title still surely beyond the club's reach Redknapp may well be wondering where his first trophy for Spurs will come from as he enters a fourth year in charge at White Hart Lane.A sensational first-half free-kick from Roman Pavlyuchenko put Tottenham top of Europa League Group A.
A much-changed Spurs side found it hard to settle against Rubin, who consistently threatened on the break.
However Russian Pavlyuchenko stunned his compatriots with an unstoppable 25-yard drive into the top corner.
Spurs goalkeeper Heurelho Gomes, making only his third start of the season, made a string of fine saves to earn his side an important victory.
Muammar Gaddafi killed in Sirte
Libya's transitional government forces have taken full control of Sirte, the last city where Gaddafi loyalists had remained holed up, fighters and reporters say.
Soldiers hoisted the new NTC national flag on buildings in the centre of Col Muammar Gaddafi's hometown.
Unconfirmed reports quote officials as saying Col Gaddafi was captured there.
His supporters are still resisting government forces in the town of Bani Walid, south-east of Tripoli.Colonel Ahmed Bani, the military spokesman of the National Transition Council, has confirmed to Al Jazeera that Muammar Gaddafi has been killed.
Abdul Hakim Belhaj, an NTC military chief, said Gaddafi had died of his wounds after being captured near his hometown Sirte.
The body of the former Libyan leader was taken to a location which is being kept secret for security reasons, an NTC official said.His killing, which came swiftly after his capture near Sirte, is the most dramatic single development in the Arab Spring revolts that have unseated rulers in Egypt and Tunisia and threatened the grip on power of the leaders of Syria and Yemen.
"He (Gaddafi) was also hit in his head," National Transitional Council official Abdel Majid Mlegta told Reuters. "There was a lot of firing against his group and he died."Slumped against the bloodied legs of a revolutionary fighter, this is the picture which Libyan rebels say confirms that deposed leader Muammar Gaddafi has been killed.
The former Libyan dictator was reportedly found cowering in a hole in the ground at the centre of Sirte, after rebels moved through the seaside town during their final assault.
Fighter Mohammed Al Bibi told reporters that the toppled tyrant had pleaded 'Don't shoot, don't shoot' as he attempted to surrender.

VIDEO: 2YR OLD Chinese Girl Ruthlessly Run Over Twice - pedestrians do nothing to help her
As a Muslim, I was raised to care for humanity and had to share this video, even thought it's very disturbing. All that came to my mind: What is this world coming to....
This is not a race issue, it's an issue regarding the society people live in. This is a human rights watch. This incident happened to take place in China, but it doesn't mean all Chinese are blind to the sanctity of life. Please don't make it a race issue. May God Bless the child's soul.
I believe people didn't help because in a similar case of a man helping a woman who fell down, he was prosecuted for doing that. People must have had fear of helping the little child, but it's still no excuse of letting her bleed on the floor like that. Even animals shouldn't be treated like this. Who knew out of all the people, a trash collector came to the child's rescue; God bless her soul. I hope this opens people's eyes and shows them that we need reform.
WARNING: VIEWER DISCRETION IS ADVISED; VERY GRAPHIC CONTENT
More than a dozen passers-by ignored a two-year-old girl as she lay critically injured on a street in southern China after being run over twice, the official Xinhua news agency said Monday.
The incident has sparked outrage on China's hugely popular social media sites.
Surveillance cameras showed a series of people walk past the girl, named Yue Yue, after she was hit first by a van and then a truck outside her family's shop in the southern Chinese city of Foshan.
Xinhua said a rubbish collector who finally came to the girl's aid, moving her to the curb and shouting for help, was ignored by several shopkeepers before he finally tracked down her mother who took her to hospital.
In response, one netizen on Sina Weibo, a Chinese micro-blog similar to Twitter, wrote: "This society is seriously ill. Even cats and dogs shouldn't be treated so heartlessly."
But others linked the incident to an earlier case in which a man who tried to help an elderly woman after she fell over was prosecuted, apparently because his intervention broke government rules on dealing with accident victims.
Doctors said Yue Yue was in a coma and unlikely to survive the ordeal.
"She would not be able to survive any operations. She's very close to brain death," a spokesman for the hospital treating her told AFP.

Foursquare Radar leverages Apple iOS 5 with new discovery features
iOS 5 is particularly important for Apple because it addresses areas where iOS devices have lagged behind Android devices, such as wireless syncing and updates, and because it enables the use of Apple's iCloud service, a key strategic initiative and major investment for the company.Foursquare on Wednesday introduced Radar, a new feature built into its iPhone app that will allow the New York company to introduce capabilities it had previously only dreamed of.
Most notably, Radar will push Foursquare from not only being a check-in centric app but also toward being an app that also alerts users of places, people or things they might want to visit near wherever they are at that moment.The long waited firmware update for the iPad has finally dropped and it includes almost 200 new features! You can find a total detailed list HERE.
The update gives us a ton of new features including built in Twitter Support for people who love to share. Also front and center is Notification Center, iMessage, Newsstand, Reminders and iCloud support.iOS 5 was released to the public yesterday and the good news is that there is a lot to like in this new version of iOS. For me most of the features address some of my long time criticisms of iOS. Although they are long over due, I welcome them just the same. Here are 5 of my favorite features right off the top:
Nicki Minaj Sings 'Super Bass' with Sophia Grace (Full Version)
See what happened when Nicki Minaj surprised eight-year old internet sensation Sophia Grace, whose YouTube clip singing Minaj's hit song Super Bass went viral
Little Minaj goes viral
Eight-year-old Sophia Grace Brownlee has become an internet sensation with her rendition of Nicki Minaj's chart-topping hit 'Super Bass'
THEY became a YouTube sensation after their adorable performance of Nicki Minaj's Super Bass went viral earlier this month.
And yesterday little Sophia Grace Brownlee, 8, and her cousin Rosie Grace McClelland, 5, from Essex, England, got the surprise of their lives during an appearance on The Ellen DeGeneres Show.
The talk show host introduced the pair, who were both dressed in their now famous pink ballerina outfits and tiaras, to their idol after they performed a lively rendition of her hit song.
Sophia Grace, who wowed the crowd with her impressive vocals, squealed with delight as the pop star emerged from backstage.
She immediately jumped into the singer's arms and threw her arms around her.
Rosie, who dances and offers support while her old cousin sings, also gave her a hug.
DeGeneres then gave them Nicki inspired wigs, microphones and necklaces to complete their look.
The star then joined her little fans for another rendition of the song.
Nicky Minaj
The pop star said she was so impressed when she first saw the clip, which has now been viewed more than eight million times.
"Within five seconds of seeing this video I was calling everyone," the 28-year-old said.
"I was also receiving a billion emails. Everyone was like 'you have to see this little girl'. She blew me away. I have a hype man and you have a hype girl."
She added: "I said 'superstar'. Seriously, we are watching a journey that’s about to be amazing."
She told Sophia: "You are incredible. I just want you to stay in school. Music is beautiful but stay in school ok. Put your books first and singing second."

"Dancing with the Stars": Chynna Phillips pays the ultimate price
Poor thing. Chynna Phillips is the fourth celebrity to go home on Dancing With the Stars.
The former member of Wilson Phillips who earned consistently high scores from the judges nearly every week of the competition got sent home on last night’s episode of Dancing with the Stars.
PHOTOS: Cher Brought To Tears Watching Chaz Bono Perform On ‘Dancing With The Stars’
“I’m disappointed, I’m sad, but I have to take responsibility for myself,” Phillips said. “I messed up.” During her tango with partner Tony Dovolani to the theme mustic from Mission Impossible, Phillips forgot her choreography and lost her place in the
dance during the live show.Even though Nancy Grace is on the show, don't expect justice. Even though Nancy Grace is a terrible dancer, don't expect justice. This is "Dancing with the Stars," the show whose constitution would be too haphazard for the Wild West.
"Dancing with the Stars" doesn't allow for a hung jury, but some might feel after Tuesday's results extravaganza that the jury should be hung. Or at least be made to listen to William Hung for a period of not less than three years.
Pictures: "Dancing with the Stars" Season 13
You see, there was something of a surprise elimination. One of the favorites, Chynna Phillips, suddenly found herself without a hook to hold on to.
Mass Shooting Seal beach California 9 Victims
"This could be one of our greatest tragedies," Police Sgt. Steve Bowles said.
The gunman opened fire inside the crowded salon Wednesday, littering the shop with bodies. Police said he acted alone, althoaaaaugh investigators said they were still scrambling to piece together what triggered such violence.
Full coverage: Deadly shooting at Seal Beach beauty salon
Eyewitnesses said that he was targeting his ex-wife and that the two were involved in a custody dispute.
The alleged shooter was apprehended only a few blocks from the Salon Meritage, the Pacific Coast Highway shop that was bustling with customers and stylists when the shooting erupted.
One of the victims was apparently the owner of the salon, Randy Fannin, a relative said.
“Randy is dead,” said the owner’s niece, Tami Scarcella. “Randy is dead for sure.”
A middle-aged Anaheim woman who identified herself as Cindy said she was sitting in the chair getting her hair done by Fannin when a man walked in and started shooting.
“We thought it was maybe firecrackers,” she said. “But he just didn’t stop. Anybody he saw he was shooting.”
“It went boom, boom, boom,” she said, speaking outside the taped-off crime scene. “I was afraid he was going to shoot everybody.”
The afternoon shooting left the normally placid beach town struggling to make sense of the carnage. A policeman spokesman said the shooting had put the city and its small police force on unfamiliar ground.
Bowles said the crime scene was horrific. “There are victims throughout the entire salon," he said.
Witnesses and survivors alike were taken to a nearby apartment complex to settle their nerves. Others milled outside the police lines at the neighborhood shopping center, recounting what had happened.
Marissa Pei said she had been at the gym earlier in the day with a friend before bumping into her again outside the shopping center. She was sobbing.
" ''My friend is dead. My friend is dead,’ ” Pei said the woman told her. “I held her.”
Pei said she also spoke to a man married to someone who was at the salon.
“’My baby. She’s half of me,’ ” Pei recalled him saying. “ 'Please, God, don’t let her be dead.’ ”
Dion Martini, a manicurist at a nearby salon, said: "This is a shock to the whole community. All of us around here have worked together at one time or another."
Martini was busy with a client herself when she heard sirens and helicopters and knew something was wrong. When she learned a shooting had unfolded in a salon much like hers, she struggled to contain her emotions.
"I've been having chills and had to hold back tears," she said. "I just can't imagine anybody being that sick to go in and do that to anybody."
Dr. James Blake, a dentist, was in his 5th street office doing bridge work on a patient, as his hygienists cleaned other patients’ teeth, when he heard what he later learned were gunshots coming from the parking lot outside.
“Then there was a pause and a few more gunshots,” said Blake in an interview with The Times. “I didn’t see the shooter.”
Alarmed, Blake said his staff immediately locked the door to the office until police arrived.
The shooting “definitely was very unexpected” for Seal Beach, said Blake, who’s had his office in the shopping center since 1992।
Michael Jackson's Autopsy Doc MJ Didn't Kill Himself
The photo, admitted in Dr. Conrad Murray's involuntary manslaughter trial, was taken hours after the star died. MJ's death, as we know, was ruled a homicide.
The date on the tiles beside his body reads August 25, 2009. However, Dr. Christopher Rogers claimed the date was a simple error, and should read June 25.In the most graphic testimony to date in the manslaughter trial of Dr. Conrad Murray, prosecutors just showed a photo of Michael Jackson’s dead, naked body.
Editor’s Note: The image from today’s courtroom proceedings is available by clicking the red link below. However, we wanted to give our readers the option of not seeing it in the post itself.The doctor who declared Michael Jackson's death a homicide claims it's extremely unlikely the singer killed himself with a deadly dose of Propofol -- insisting Dr. Conrad Murray is more likely to blame.
Dr. Christopher Rogers just testified -- Murray's description of the final moments leading up to Michael's cardiac arrest just doesn't add up.
Murray claims he left for two minutes to go to the bathroom -- and when he returned, Michael wasn't breathing. The defense will argue MJ self-administered a deadly dose of Propofol in that time.

Spain v Scotland – Euro 2012 Qualifying
Spain v Scotland
Beside the likely absences of Sergio Ramos and Xabi Alonso Vince del Bosque will have a full squad at his disposal and the experienced manager has shown his professionalism in these inconsequential matches going for the win. A 2-0 win in Prague this past weekend allowed Scotland to stay in the competition and you would expect to put up the same type of performance against Scotland to keep things fair. Fernando Torres was unable to impress his manager this past week and Del Bosque has not shied away from hinting that he might drop the once young phenom of the Spanish side.
A goal by Craig Mackail-Smith was the different in last Saturday’s win over Liechtenstein. That win put the Scots one point ahead of the Czech Republic who also happen to have the tie breaker between the two nations, so a win is imperative should Scotland advance. Of course there’s the scenario of Lithuania beating the Czech Republic – which they had already accomplished when playing in Prague, but with little motivation, it’s hard to lay all your eggs on that scenario to pan out.
For punters keen on placing a bet Spain v Scotland, odds have Scotland as 12/1 underdogs while the draw is priced at 13/2. Our Spain vs Scotland prediction however is for the Spaniards to complete their Euro 2012 qualification with a perfect record – you can bet on Spain to win at 1/6 odds on Bet365. Scotland did a fine job in the Scotland v Spain fixture a year back losing only 2-3, but playing Jose Rico Perez in Spain will be another matter entirely.

iTunes 10.5 Launches Ahead of iPhone 4S, iCloud, iTunes Match
Every iPhone includes an update iTunes, but this may be the last time iPhone users need the media-playing computer software.
One of the things that iTunes 10.5 brings is the iOS 5 update for iPhones, iPads, and iPod touches, which will do away with the need to tether your mobile device to a computer to sync it. The new release also enables Wi-Fi syncing between the Apple mobile devices and iTunes on a PC or Mac.
In addition, the update adds some iCloud features, including iTunes Match, which will synchronize music on a user's computer with iCloud storage, even for songs not purchased via the iTunes store. Once the music is up in your iCloud, you'll be able to download it to any Apple device onto which you've logged in. The $24.99-a-year service isn't available today despite the new iTunes release, but will go live tomorrow, October 12, according to a previous Apple press release.

Hear Hank Williams Jr.'s song ripping ESPN, Fox
Williams sparked an uproar when he appeared on the Fox News Channel show "Fox & Friends" on October 3 and said Obama's pairing with Republican House of Representatives Speaker John Boehner in a June golf summit was "like Hitler playing golf with (Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin) Netanyahu."Ousted ESPN Monday Night Football singer Hank Williams Jr. released his new song blasting ESPN, Fox and Friends and the "United Socialist States of America" on his web site Tuesday.
HANK WILLIAMS: Who should replace him on MNF?
The conservative country singer's scheduled to appear on ESPN sister network ABC's "The View" today (11 a.m. ET). Co-hosts Whoopi Goldberg and Joy Behar defended his right to free speech after ESPN split with Williams for comparing President Barack Obama to Adolf Hitler on Fox's morning talk show.
The free download to the song, "Keep the Change," on the Hankster's Web site is down. But it's up on YouTube. Have a listen and a look at the lyrics:
Scores arrested at Occupy Boston protest site
But it was not until after 1 a.m. ET Tuesday when hundreds of Boston and Transit police officers, some in riot gear, moved in on the group, handcuffing protesters and tearing down tents.
"At 1:30 this morning hundreds of police in full riot gear brutally attacked Occupy Boston," the group said in a news release, adding that authorities "made no distinction between protesters, medics, or legal observers."
Police said no protesters or police were injured in the maneuver.About 100 people were arrested early Tuesday after Occupy Boston protesters refused to leave a park in the city, police reportedly said.
The Boston Globe reported that riot police officers arrived near the Rose Fitzgerald Kennedy Greenway park at about 1:20 a.m. ET with dozens of sheriff vans and police wagons arriving minutes later.
Rangers in Cruz control after grand slam in 11th
Nelson Cruz hit the first game-ending grand slam in postseason history, lifting the defending American League champions over the Detroit Tigers 7-3 in 11 innings Monday for a 2-0 series lead.
"It's an instant classic, no doubt about it," teammate Ian Kinsler said. "When Nellie gets going like he's going, he's tough to beat."
Cruz doubled early, chased Tigers starter Max Scherzer with a tying home run in the seventh and was hit by a fastball near his right wrist that sent him crumbling to the ground in pain in the ninth.Nelson Cruz(notes) arrived at that slider as they all did, Texas Rangers and Detroit Tigers alike, across 4½ hours of baseball and nearly 11 innings, through nine pitching changes and countless opportunities logged with expressionless aggravation.
They’d spiraled eventually to Tigers reliever Ryan Perry(notes) against Rangers slugger Cruz, and then that slider, the last of 355 pitches.

NBA cancels first 2 weeks of season; Heat lose six games to lockout
"It is a little frustrating," said Kim Krieg, who operates a sports bar that relies on games of the hometown San Antonio Spurs for many of its promotions.The NBA
lockout has been talked about numerous times relating to how it hurts the NBA Development League on Ridiculous Upside, but one thing I'm not sure I've
specifically mentioned yet has been overlooked. If the NBA lockout isn't solved by the start of the NBA season, any players that appeared in the NBA last season won't be eligible to play in the D-League this season.The NBA lockout comes down to one more meeting on Monday. Will everyone in the room see reason over the gurgling swamp of stubbornness and get a deal done? Let us pray.The NBA and the players' association met for over five hours on Sunday and emerged from the meeting without comment, only saying that the two sides would meet again on Monday afternoon.

Herman Cain: 'I Felt Like Moses' (VIDEO)
But if the arc of the 2012 presidential race tells us anything, it’s that social conservatives — and conservatives more generally — will tire of the former Godfather’s Pizza CEO at some point and once again search for the next big thing.Everyone seems at a loss to explain Republican presidential candidate Herman
Cain's extraordinary surge in the polls -- from near extinction three weeks ago to virtual GOP front-runner in the latest surveys conducted by CBS, the Pew Research Center, and Zogby International. And while it's tempting to see Cain's latest rise as simply a reflection of Texas governor Rick Perry's equally spectacular fall, the fact is, the 64-year-old pizza magnate has had broad appeal with Republican voters from the start. Better ante up, journalists, because Herman Cain is prepared for even the toughest interview topics.
The GOP candidate told Christian Broadcasting Network that he's "ready for the 'gotcha' questions."
"When they ask me who is the president of Ubeki-beki-beki-beki-stan-stan I’m going to say you know, I don’t know. Do you know?" he said.

Costa Rica 0 x 1 Brasil - Gols e Lances - Amistoso - 08/10/2011
Just a minute later, the action swung the other end when Neymar released Fred through on goal, but the Fluminense striker smashed his shot over the bar. For the next 15 minutes, it was the five-time world champions who dominated proceedings while the hosts threatened on occasion on the break. But apart from a few shots off target by both sides and some fancy footwork from Neymar and Ronaldinho in particular, clear-cut chances were few and far between.
Mora did have the home fans up on their feet just before the half hour when he ch
UFC 136: Edgar vs. Maynard III - Main Event Dissection
For all the hoopla surrounding this match up, anyone who's watched their previous collisions should know what variables are at play here. Frankie Edgar will wield his hyperspace agility and abstract cage flux to combat the sheer power Gray Maynard packs in his monster punches and enveloping takedowns.
First and foremost, make sure you peruse Fraser Coffeen's Judo Chop that analyzes the striking exchanges in their last fight, as well as K.J. Gould's Judo Chop on the grappling.
What makes this a great match up is that even though Edgar's edge is his speed and Maynard's is power, neither are weak by any means where their opponent excels.
Maynard has good hand speed and agility for such a strong lightweight; Edgar has powerful takedowns and saying he has "pillow hands" is a bit of an exaggeration.
Maynard uses nothing but basic boxing backed with skull-splitting heft to rock Frankie.
In both fights, Maynard connected with his biggest blows while lunging forward and leading rather than waiting to counter Edgar's incoming combinations.
Therefore, "getting off first" becomes a priority for Maynard. Edgar's poetic explosion of crisp combinations from unexpected angles is better left defended than attempted to pick apart.
Maynard's bread and butter punches are his lunging left hook and uppercut, both of which are anchored by his absolutely devastating short right hand.
The flip side is that Edgar excels in counter punching, especially against the more basic combinations that Maynard throws.
The fuse that sparks his comeback is the laser-straight one-two he responds with to the right. You can see that Maynard is much more of a stationary target with his hands low, playing right into Edgar's warp-speed "in and out" strategy.
Like Maynard, Edgar is successful when he's leading the exchanges.
Notice how Maynard is now on his heels and forced to react, both defensively (dodging the strikes with footwork and head movement) and offensively (trying to get a bead on some of the fastest hands and best head-work in the division).
It's also worth mentioning that Edgar tones down the volume and breadth of his strikes, relying on just one- and two-punch combinations thrown straight and long.
Abstaining from hooks, uppercuts and kicks keeps his chin vigorously protected and his strikes highly accurate with his feet underneath him to skate away from danger.
Edgar secures his takedowns one of two ways.
His absence of significant striking power gives his adversaries the confidence that they can absorb the blows. They relent on reacting with urgent motion, enabling the surprise double leg (like vs. Penn).
Or, his endlessly elusive tendencies are so unbearably annoying that his opponents barrel forward. This allows him to rapid-shift from reverse to high gear and use their own momentum to get ultra-deep with a simple and precise level drop, as we see to the right.
Between two high level and prestigious wrestlers like this, I can't hammer on the importance of penetration enough for the takedown battles.
Re-examine the gif above with this in mind. Facilitated by timing, Edgar gets so deep on the double leg that Gray's entire waist and torso are draped perfectly across Edgar's lowered shoulders. It's the perfect fulcrum to topple someone over.
It's also the exact reason why Gray doesn't succeed on this attempt above.
The ideal ploy for Gray is something I was surprised he didn't do more.
Since Frankie doesn't elude the attempt entirely, makes contact and uses a little muscle to shuck him off, Maynard should play the game of dropping levels and then bashing hooks when Edgar lowers his hands to sprawl.
Kevin Randleman executed the technique flawlessly in his knockout upset of Mirko Filipovic. While Edgar's motion alternates between in and out, Maynard's should be up and down from striking to takedowns.
All in all, these two are incredibly even-matched and I expect another razor-thin decision.
The overwhelming consensus seems to be that Edgar will prevail. I agree.
Please insert all the recycled but truthful disclaimers about this statement, but a broad brush stroke on the last fight might be that Edgar "got caught" and was merely delayed on implementing his bulletproof gameplan.
My feeling is just that it will be easier for Edgar to fine-tune and replicate his performance than it will be for Maynard. Frankie's chin has been phenomenal and, although Gray obviously broke it down, the big first round scare last time will probably give Frankie the right amount of confidence that he can trudge through Maynard's best punches and a spike in caution to avoid it, knowing that eating one punch can end his night and his title run.
I expect Edgar to start out overly hesitant -- much to the chagrin of the bloodthirsty audience -- and methodically needle straight punches for the first few rounds. I think a painfully safe onset to avoid any of Maynard's haymakers or takedown attempts will boost his confidence and bait the challenger into upping his aggression.
Mid-fight, I imagine Maynard will get antsy and succumb to the pressure to make something dramatic happen, which will open the door for Edgar to prey on openings and methodically pick him apart with pinpoint punches and evasive movement.
Ultimate Fighting Championship lightweight title holder Frankie Edgar and No. 1 contender Gray Maynard finally get the chance to put each other in the past.
The two bitter rivals meet for the second time in 10 months – and third overall – in Saturday night’s main event of UFC 136 at the Toyota Center in Houston, Texas. The trilogy became necessary when Edgar (13-1-1) and Maynard (11-0-1) fought New Year’s Day in one of 2011’s best, and most dramatic, matches – one that ended in a draw.
