ATLANTA — Pedro Martinez's injury plagued season came to an end — less than a week short of the playoffs.

The New York Mets learned Thursday that their ace is done for the year with a torn tendon in his left calf muscle.

Instead of pitching Game 1 in next week's NL division series, Martinez will be in the early days of a four- to six-week recovery period. While surgery won't be necessary, there's no chance of the three-time Cy Young Award winner pitching again in 2006, even if the Mets make it all the way to the World Series.

IRVING, Texas — Police closed the Terrell Owens case Thursday, calling it nothing more than an "accidental overdose." The 911 call that started it all was released, too, revealing little beyond what was already known: that T.O. swallowed "too many pills."Each piece of evidence that came to light seemed to square with T.O.'s version of events — that he made a mistake, had a bad reaction and was by no means trying to kill himself.
