With so much going on in the world of sports right now with the Olympics, baseball, USC injuries and all, here's a list of things to keep an eye on.

LA Dodgers defeat Colorado Rockies 16-10. In an effort to conserve energy, the Colorado Rockies apparently decided to turn of the humidor. The Dodgers came out with a bang scoring eight runs in the first inning. They would go on to take an 11-0 lead in the third inning, but Coors Field being what it is the Rockies would make a comeback. After being shut out for the first two innings, the Rockies scored at least one run in the remaining seven innings but couldn't catch up. Rockie's shortstop Troy Tulowitzki in his first game of the disabled list went 5-5 with a sacrifice fly. The same fortune would be shared with Rockie's starter Kip Wells in his first action since the end of April. He gave up eight runs in that first frame that essentially sealed the deal for the Rockies. The Dodgers pitching fared a little better but not by much. Despite having a 12-3 lead in the fourth inning, Eric Stults was very erratic and was taken out of the game. How did now-retired Hideo Nomo ever pitch a no-no at Coors Field pre-humidor?

Cincinnati Reds (9-12) defeat LA Dodgers (8-12) 8-1. After getting 15 hits yesterday, the Dodgers decide to be generous and give up 15 hits. Starter Hong-chih Kuo (0-1) was awful making 80 pitches in 3 2/3 innings giving up five runs. Meanwhile Red's young starter Edinson Volquez (3-0) went seven innings giving up one run on three hits.

LAist reader Hope Egan has sent us this pic from inside the University of Phoenix Stadium in Glendale, Arizona where Super Bowl XLII is going to get going in just about two hours.

With the regular season of the NFL coming to an end, what have we truly learned?

I know I’m about as consistent as the Lakers in doing these things. So here are my quick takes of all of the Sunday games.

The Red Sox has permeated nearly every facet of Bostonist's lives. When they're not live-blogging the games, waxing poetic about the games, thanking Curt Schilling for his splendid work, or telling Dane Cook to watch his hair, they're watching certain presidential candidates hop on the Red Sox bandwagon (sorry, Gothamist). The Sox are so branded on the local brain that people are using the Series to spice up their sex lives. Speaking of spice, Bostonist is really sick of that taco promo. And, while they're proud of John Williams, Bostonist is still trying to figure out Williams' "Very Special Arrangement" of the "Star Spangled Banner."

Clippers 104, Bucks 103 - The roller coaster continues for Los Angeles. They watched a 22 point third quarter lead crumble away in the fourth. With less than a minute to play, Milwaukee held a three point edge. Then the Clippers got a basket from Corey Maggette with 45 seconds and another by Jason Hart with only three ticks left. The win pushed LA back into sole possession of the eighth seed in the Western...

Rockets 102, Lakers 77 - The young, but always entertaining Lakers are still struggling for an identity. After beating the NBA's best and loosing to the worst in the past few nights, they were defensively dominated by a team missing their star center. With Yao Ming on the bench, Dikembe Mutombo grabbed 19 rebounds and swatted down five shots, moving him into second on the all-time block list. The Lakers scored just 31 points in...

Grizzlies 128, Lakers 118 - This young Lakers squad has been playing to the level of their opponents. After a clutch victory over Dallas, the NBA's top squad, they were mauled by Memphis, the NBA's laughingstock. Los Angeles outscored the home team in all quarters but the third, when the Grizzlies exploded for 46 points compared to just 22 for the Lakers. Down by as many as 24, Phil Jackson threw in the towel early...
