SEAN PENN & KID ROCK MADE A PRETTY FUNNY VIDEO ON HOW TO FIND "COMMON GROUND" IN POLITICS!
SEAN PENN and KID ROCK made a funny short film about how people on opposite sides of the political spectrum can find common ground. They go from having a political argument that almost turns into a bar brawl to becoming friends. And it includes a montage of them doing stuff like going to a gay wedding and drinking beer instead of fancy martinis.  It's pretty funny . . . especially given the fact that these guys aren't always known for having a sense of humor about themselves. Check it out here.

SURVEY SAYS: WHO WOULD WIN IN A FIST FIGHT? ROMNEY OR OBAMA?
We've gotten to that point in the presidential campaign where EVERYONE is sick of polls. So pollsters are getting more creative in what they're asking. Here are answers to some poll questions you've probably NEVER thought about.
--58% of Americans think that BARACK OBAMA would beat MITT ROMNEY in a fistfight. 22%
think Mitt would win. 20% had no opinion.
--74% would rather be NEIGHBORS with the president . . . 26% picked Mitt . . . and 74.4% would rather have the president as their LANDLORD compared to 25.6% for Mitt.
--If they were all neighbors, and the president and Mitt each left their laundry in a dryer in the laundry room, 72.4% of people would rather remove and fold the president's laundry. 27.6%
would rather fold Mitt's.
--And the biggest complaints people would have if the Obamas were their neighbors would be Bo's barking and MICHELLE hogging the fitness room. The biggest problem with the Romneys would be all the kids hanging out at the pool.

MLB PLAYOFF RECAP!
A Buster Posey grand slam in a six-run fifth inning proved more than the Cincinnati Reds could come back from yesterday in Game 5 of the NLDS. In the end, the San Francisco Giants became the first National League team to come back from an 0-2 hole in a five-game series after posting a 6-4 victory in Cincinnati. The Giants now move on to the NLCS and will face the winner of today’s game between the Cardinals and the Nationals.
An incredibly intense 13-pitch at-bat by Washington Nationals slugger Jayson Werth to lead off the bottom of the ninth inning resulted in a line-drive walk-off homer and a Nats’ 2-1 victory over the St. Louis Cardinals to force a decisive Game 5 today in the NLDS. Adam LaRoche gave Washington a 1-0 lead with a solo blast in the second inning, but Carlos Beltran’s sacrifice fly in the third knotted the game at 1-1 until Werth bested Cardinals right hander Lance Lynn. The Detroit Tigers counted on their ace Justin Verlander on Thursday to finally finish off the never-say-die Oakland A’s, and he did not disappoint.  The MVP pitcher went the distance, striking out 11 batters and allowing just four hits in the Tigers’ 6-0 shutout, while closing out the ALDS and allowing his team to move on to the ALCS, where they will face the winner of today’s Game 5 between the Yankees and Orioles.
The Baltimore Orioles and New York Yankees have played a total of 25 innings of baseball in the past two nights – today they’ll play at least nine more. On Thursday, the O’s outlasted the Yankees 2-1 in 13 innings after J.J. Hardy doubled home Manny Machado from second base, setting up today’s winner-take-all Game 5. Baltimore’s victory meant that all four division series went five games for the first time since the format began in 1995. The winner of today’s matchup will take on the Tigers in ALCS.
