Angels 2, Devil Rays 1 - LAnaheim picked up a second straight 2-1 victory thanks to another solid outing from their rotation. Ervin Santana had 10Ks, and the Halos swept Tampa Bay to inch just a little bit closer to their third pennant in four years. Sitting at 90 wins, their magic number is down to three. Life isn't so sweet for the Devil Rays, who dressed their rookies in Hooters attire. Welcome to the bigs.
Rockies 6, Dodgers 5 - That ticking sound that signaled the approach of the end of the Dodger's season? Turns out it's a pounding sound. As in nails in a coffin. Colorado staged another come-from-behind victory thanks to one of their four home runs. They moved a game past Los Angeles in the playoff hunt, but let's be honest -- it's not happening for either of these teams.
Galaxy 2, Real Salt Lake 2 - Landon Donovan gave Los Angeles a late lead on a PK, but Salt Lake responded with a 25 yard bomb in the 86th minute.
Sharks 1, Ducks 0 - Anaheim failed to take advantage of four power plays, and San Jose picked up the lone goal of the game in the final five minutes.
Rapids 6, Kings 3 - Apparently baseball isn't the only sport in Denver with high scoring. It's also a good place for a fight. There were two in the first period.
Elsewhere - What do you do when a soccer forward juggles the ball on his head to keep it away from you? Slug the bastard ... There's a rumor about Oscar De La Hoya cross dressing. There are pictures here. Are those real? ... If the US women's soccer team plays in China and nobody watches, do you care?
