The St.Louis Cardinals` (89-63) magic number is just 2, today could be the day that they clinch a division title. For the past few season the Chicago Cubs (78-72) has won the division, but failed to reach the world series. But this is the season that the cards will win it under the wings of fine pitching and timely hitting.

The trade for Matt Hollidayproved to be a very good deal for the [cardinals]. He`s hitting .358 avg-13 hr-50rbi in just 54 games with them. First Baseman Albert Pujolsis having yet another MVP season, as predicted. He`s proudly putting .330 avg-47hr-129rbi this season, and the 3rd mvp award is just around the corner.

Scuttlebutt is going around Wall Street regarding a possible takeover of Electronic Arts at the hands of Microsoft. Talk of the potential buy has been dismissed as "unsubstantiated chatter" by Reuters, but rumors among traders have already served to drive up the stock of both companies. EA stock is up 5.24% to $19.36, while MS increased by 0.9% to $26. Some traders, at least, are banking on the possibility. Whether purely the product of imagination or a legitimate piece of inside info, the rumor is plausible enough. The last year has seen a steady fall in videogame sales, the largest sales drop in nine years, leaving EA in a potentially weakened state. Such acquisitions have happened increasingly often, as in the case of "Activision Blizzard", and Zenimax/ID, and even EA's own attempts to acquire Take-Two. Your thoughts on this topic!!!

Wii price drop confirmed: $199 starting this weekend

The rumors were true, and Nintendo's knight in shining armor is finally about to see its first-ever price drop. For nearly three years now, the console has sold briskly at $249.99, but beginning on September 27th at Best Buy (and everywhere else, naturally), the happy-go-lucky machine will be offered for just $199.99. Interestingly, it appears that suits at BB expect Nintendo to make an official announcement on the drop this Friday, yet retail stores won't begin selling at the discounted rate until Sunday. Something tells us that won't go over well, but we guess we've but a few days left 'til we find out exactly how the Big N plans to play this.
