Here are three items from last night's MLB Playoff action: 1) If you missed A's outfielder Coco Crispstealing a home run from Prince Fielder, watch it now. 2) Hot Clicks loves a good streaking video or video of a fan getting leveled by security after running on the field. But an old guy running on the field to promote his Presidential candidate, as was the case during yesterday's Giants-Reds game, is kind of weak. 3) Speaking of weak, what was up with this broom?

Sports Video Of The Day
This clip perfectly sums up the state of local news. During a report about a woman who was injured by a bull (in a ridiculous contest where people actually let a bull charge at them, but that's a whole other rant), the newscast plays Wipeout underneath the video. (Thanks to Chris, of Hartford, for the video.)
UPDATE: My apologies to WFSB. The newscast did NOT pipe in Wipeout, it was playing at the fair during the bull charging contest. I am an idiot.
