LAst Night's Action: Three Away

Ducks 3, Senators 2 - Do you believe in miracles? We're almost there. Sunny, surf-city-adjacent Anaheim drew another step closer to Lord Stanley's trophy by beating Ottawa (a real, honest-to-goodness Canadian team) in game one of the NHL finals. The Senators managed only 20 shots on goal, but connected on one of their three in the first period. Anaheim equaled before intermission, but lost the lead again in the second. The third was all Ducks, with the winning goal coming at 2:51 left to play.

Mariners 12, Angels 5 - It seems like to only bad team the Halos have faced lately is the Yankees. Seattle is on a nasty tear with 50 (!) runs in their last five games. They piled on a dozen on Memorial Day with 8 of their 15 hits coming from the bottom third of the order (Ichiro was held to one). The Angels struggled by leaving ten men on base and committing two errors in the field.

Beckham Watch - The blond one has spoken, but didn't say anything new. What is new? His recall to the UK national squad that may cause issues with loca playing time. At least he won't have to kick it at altitude.

Elsewhere - Kobe, tired from taking all the shots on the court, decides to Here's why ... Extortion attempt on Bart Starr by Young (and old, she is) ... Maybe she should have played granny basketball, instead.
