What’s your favorite? Why do you prefer visors to hats? – Morgan Parrish, Senior, Industrial Hygiene Coach Andersen: “Right now, we will look at all positions. With the numbers that we have and the seniors that are leaving the program and our needs base, we will be recruiting at least a high school kid for every position. We’ll look heavy into the defensive line, probably take two or three defensive lineman as we go through the process, a couple wide receivers, but every other position will be one or two depending on how we sit.” Coach Andersen: “My Utah State one is my favorite one, and my favorite, favorite Utah State one is the sweaty one I get to wear to practice every day so that would be my No. 1. Why do I prefer visors, I don’t know. I’ve just never been a hat guy. I love visors whether it’s winter, summer, or whatever. It’s just kind of something I always wear.” If you would like to ask USU head football coach Gary Andersen a question about the Aggies preQuestion 2: How much of what you do at USU is influ- vious game or upcoming matchup, enced by what you learned at Utah? – Logan Clifford, please e-mail your questions Junior, Public Relations along with your year and major to statesmansports@aggiCoach Andersen: “Obviously quite a bit, I was there email.usu.edu each week for 11 years.

PHILADELPHIA (AP) — By the time Cole Hamels rushed off to be with his pregnant wife, his streak of postseason dominance was long over. Yorvit Torrealba hit a two-run homer, Aaron Cook pitched effectively into the sixth inning and the Colorado Rockies beat Hamels and the Philadelphia Phillies 5-4 Thursday to even their NL playoff series at a game apiece. Huston Street pitched out of trouble in the ninth to secure the win for Colorado. He retired Shane Victorino on a soft liner to second to leave the potential tying run – Game 1 winner Cliff Lee – at second base. “It was definitely a huge game for us,” Cook said. “It’s huge to go back home with the series tied.” Hamels, the World Series and NLCS MVP last year, looked nothing like the guy who was brilliant during Philadelphia’s championship run last October. The lefthander allowed four runs and seven hits in five innings. He didn’t stick around after being pulled for a pinch hitter, heading to the hospital to join his wife, Heidi, who was in labor with the couple’s first child. Was Hamels distracted on the mound? “It could’ve bothered him, yes,” Phillies manager Charlie Manuel said. “He was concerned about his wife and his child. It’s an exciting time, something you look forward to. It was probably on his mind.” The best-of-five series shifts to Denver for Game 3 on Saturday. Jason Hammel (10-8) will start for the wild-card Rockies against a yet-to-be-announced pitcher. Manuel said he’ll use Joe Blanton or Pedro Martinez. J.A. Happ was a candidate before getting injured. Blanton pitched one inning in relief, allowing a run. Happ got knocked out of the game when Seth Smith hit a hard liner off the lower part of his left leg. X-rays were negative. “He was trying to stay out there, but he wasn’t able to pitch,” Manuel said. “I think he’ll be fine.” Making his third start since a shoulder strain sidelined him for most of September, Cook allowed three runs and seven hits in five-plus innings. The righthanded sinkerballer got 12 of his 15 outs on grounders or strikeouts. “His sinker was downhill and he was really working both sides of the plate,” Torrealba said. After Lee turned in a masterful performance in his playoff debut Wednesday, the Phillies were counting on Hamels to give them a commanding 2-0 series lead. But Hamels hasn’t been the same pitcher since going 4-0 with a 1.80 ERA in five postseason starts last year. He was 10-11 with a 4.32 ERA this year, and now is 0-7 in day games. “His stuff was good,” Manuel said. “He threw some close pitches. He was around the plate. His command could’ve been better.” The Phillies are trying to become the first repeat champions since the New York Yankees won three World Series in a row from 1998-2000. No NL team has done it since the Cincinnati Reds in 1975-76. For the second straight day, the Phillies had the largest crowd in the six-year history of Citizens Bank Park. There were 46,528 fans packed in the ballpark, waving their white-and-red “Fightin’ Phils” towels. Now, there’s no guarantee they’ll see another game this year. Jayson Werth’s solo homer off Rafael Betancourt in the eighth got the Phillies within a run and whipped the fans into a frenzy. But Franklin Morales came in and retired Raul Ibanez on a sharp grounder. Street, who was 35 for 37 in save chances in the regular season, started the ninth. He walked pinch-hitter Matt Stairs with one out. Lee, who became the first Phillies pitcher to steal a base in the postseason in Game 1, ran for the slow-footed Stairs. After Miguel Cairo flied to right, Jimmy Rollins singled to right. But Street got Victorino to end it. “It’s huge,” Torrealba said. “Going back to Denver, that was our goal, if we can win at least one game here – and we did.” Trailing 4-0, the Phillies finally got going in the sixth. Victorino led off with an infield single and advanced to second on second baseman Clint Barmes’ throwing error. Chase Utley followed with a single and Ryan Howard lined an RBI double into the right-field corner, chasing Cook. Jose Contreras came in and struck out Werth. But Ibanez followed with a two-run single to cut it to 4-3. www.a-bay-usu.com ClassifiedAds Utah State University • Logan, Utah • www.aggietownsquare.com Please Note If you find some of these ads are missing information, such as phone number or e-mail, please see the complete listings at www. a-bay-usu.com Announcement Announcements Christian Bible Study Sunday night 7 pm, Food Science Building rm 202. www.hotm.tv Apartments for Apts. 4RentRent Apartment Contract for Jan-May FOREST GATE APARTMENTS -$1100 (all utilities included) -Private Bedroom -One clean and tidy roommate -Quick walk to campus -Wireless internet -Cable TV -Contract for mid Dec to May Apartment Contract for Sale I’m selling my contract for a (girl’s) private room/private bathroom at Glenwood Apartments, just a block down from campus!
