Last Friday was supposed to be the day of South High School's big homecoming game and dance. Instead, the Cleveland school was shut down, guarded by police and surrounded by anxious questions. School authorities had uncovered what they described as a possibly racist plot by a group of about a dozen white students who had threatened an armed assault like the one in Littleton, Colo.

Watching Martinez mow down the Yankees one right after the other in Game 3 of the ALCS was a sight for the ages...
