LAst Night's Action: Little Bit Of Everything

Bowling for Padres.Padres 3, Dodgers 2 - Jeff Kent drove home a run in the first and the third, helping Los Angeles jump out to a 2-0 lead against San Diego's Greg Maddux. Then Maddux started to pitch more like, well, Maddux. He retired the final 14 batters he faced and went home with the W against his old team (you may remember he wore blue, albeit briefly).

Angels 3, White Sox 0 - Gary Matthews Jr.'s leadoff homerun was all the scoring Anaheim needed to beat Chicago. Jered Weaver looked back in the swing of things, striking out five and walking none in 5 and 2/3 innings.

Avengers 75, Rampage 71 - Instead of watching the longest and most boring first round in NFL draft history (c'mon, how many big names were really available this year?), you could have fulfiled your football fix with some arena action. Los Angeles watched the seconds tick off the first half while watching Grand Rapids return a kickoff 56 yards for a score. But the resulting 18 point deficit wasn't a big deal for an arena game. Thanks to a couple onside kicks and seven touchdowns by Robert Quiroga (he's a receiver!) the Avengers pulled it off in the shootout.

Galaxy 3, Chivas 1 - Landon Donovan notched his first goal of the season early in the game, and the Galaxy easily dispatched their homefield rival. Kevin Harmes and Cobi Jones also found the net, both set up by Donovan assists.

New York State of Mind - Maybe LA-Anaheim could learn from NY-New Jersey ... If you really care about the NFL draft at Radio City Music Hall, you can see who went where here, but you may wind up booing like everybody else ... It looks like somebody juiced in the Big Apple.
