Before I go on record with my picks for today’s games, let me just get this off my chest.

LA Angels defeat Seattle Mariners 2-1. The Angels had their chances to put away the Mariners getting 10 hits. Vladimir Guerrero tied the game 1-1 in the fourth inning with a solo shot. The Angels got the game winning run in the seventh inning when Jeff Mathis singled and came home on a Reggie Willits single and a fielding error by Raul Ibanez. But that was all that was needed for the Angels to win their 97th game of the season. Ervin Santana was spectacular going eight innings giving up only one run on five hits walking none and striking out nine. The Angels are on their way to win 100 games, the most in franchise history.

Lakers 117, Timberwolves 92 - The Lakers sent a major sign to the rest of the NBA on their long road trip, finishing with a 7-2 record, acquiring Pau Gasol, and seeing Kobe pour in 29 points last night even with a dislocated finger. Against Minnesota, the Lakers got another solid performance from Gasol, who shot 9-of-11 for 19 points and blocked three shots. The team is off through the All Star game (Sunday) and will return to Staples Center next week.

Historically the first week of the college football season is filled with boring tune-up games from the powerhouses. Take tomorrow’s matchups between Idaho at USC, Youngstown State at Ohio State and Arkansas State at Texas. BOR-ING! However here are three games that should be quite compelling to watch. UCLA at Stanford. This is probably most compelling for local reasons, but I really want to see how UCLA’s offense operates. From all accounts the offense...

Dodgers 5, Cardinals 4 - Much as LAist would like to praise the Dodgers and Wilson Betemit's pinch hit three run homer, we're a little skeptical of any win that comes against Kip Wells. Who? Since the 1995 season this journeyman pitcher has earned one win for each of three different teams. That's not overwhelming. What is? His league leading eight losses and 39 earned runs this season. He lasted five innings against Los Angeles,...

A Word or 45: Been thinking about the whole VTech thing from last week and whether or not the Cho footage should have been put on TV: of course it should have been put on TV. It wasn't done distastefully and it was newsworthy and timely, end of story. Tonight - Monday - April 23rd, 2007 The New Adventures of Old Christine/Two and a Half Men/The King of Queens (CBS, 8:30-10:00 p.m.) All new...

Dodgers 3, Rockies 0 - Brad Penny threw 108 pitches in 6 and 1/3 innings, striking out 3 and walking 4. The most important number he had was the Rockies'. Penny earned his sixth straight win against Colorado and is 11-2 lifetime. He retired 11 straight batters before hitting Chris Iannetta on his final pitch. Takashi Saito earned his fifth save in five tries. Angels 4, Indians 1 - Still playing in Milwaukee thanks to...

Unranked UCLA was thatclose to knocking off #10 Notre Dame in South Bend. In what would have been one of the greatest upsets so far in this young season, the Bruins snatched defeat from the jaws of victory. Notre Dame's Brady Quinn threw three passes for 80 yards -- in a final drive that only took 35 seconds -- and brought UCLA crashing back down to earth. "We can't dwell on any of this,"...
