Comets 82, Sparks 72 - A long and painful season is over for the Sparks. Without a preggo Lisa Leslie, the team crashed and burned through the final half of the season, finishing with an overall record of 10-24. If you're really eager to check out some professional women's sports in LA, how about a football game later this week?

Braves 8, Dodgers 6 - The Dodgers couldn't hold an early lead against Atlanta, as Brad Penny's stellar stats were tarnished with six runs and nine hits in just four innings. Chipper Jones was the star of the game, going yard from both sides of the plate. His 372nd career home run sealed the win for the Braves and set the club's all time record. Angels 5, Rangers 2 - LAnaheim avoided a sweep against... more ›

Ducks 4, Red Wings 3 - Everybody thought hockey in Orange County was like a snowball in hell: Funny to say, totally unrealistic, and full of cliche (remember those "Mighty" days?). Well, it's starting to get a little chilly down south. The Ducks knocked of the "Mighty" Red Wings in six games, surviving a three goal scoring barrage by Detroit in the third period. Anaheim will host the Ottawa Senators in game one of the... more ›

Dodgers 10, Reds 5 - All nine Dodger starters had at least one hit or run scored, giving the team moms something to be proud of. Cincinnati's Ken Griffey, Jr. didn't disappoint, either, going deep on Mother's Day for the sixth time in his career. Ducks 4, Red Wings 3, OT - The Ducks evened the Western Conference Finals against Detroit at a game each and claimed home ice advantage heading into the next two... more ›

Almost one year to the day, Kobe Bryant's 81 point performance was awarded the 2006 Moment Of The Year by the Los Angeles Sports Council. more ›

Predators 4, Kings 1 - After getting roughed up by the Ducks a couple days ago, Nashville headed up the freeway to take out their aggression on the Los Angeles Kings. The Predators scored three power play goals and added one short-handed. They pulled away in a second period marred by five minor penalties on the Kings, two of which were converted. The Kings are just two points out of last place in the Pacific Division, looking up at Anaheim, San Jose, and Dallas. Those teams have three of the top five records in the NHL. more ›

Henry Bibby hasn't been a good coach since he took USC to the Elite 8. We've been hard on him the past. We think fairly. From his irrational benchings caused by silly temper tantrums, to allowing the SC program to fall into disarray, Bibby has had his difficulties over the past few years. more ›

First off, Johnny Buss and the Sparks brain trust felt like they could wait until more than six months after the season ended to hire any head coach. This was after their bizarre "co-head coach" system led the Sparks to a first round playoff loss after Michael Cooper bolted for Denver. more ›

At first glance this move is cause for celebration for Sparks fans (if there are any Sparks fans). Holdsclaw brings instant star power, and could form a dynamic duo with Lisa Leslie. But while there was once a time when everyone thought Holdsclaw would take over women's basketball, it hasn't quite worked out that way. more ›
