Colorado Rockies defeat LA Dodgers 5-3. Dodger's starter Hiroki Kuroda came out shaky in the first three innings but eventually pulled it together in his last three innings. Unfortunately the aftermath of the first three innings was giving up five runs to the Rockies who seemed to luxuriate in hitting the Dodgers. Apart from the eight-run first inning of the first game, the Dodgers were completely outplayed in this series. The positive note: Andruw Jones got an RBI double. The Dodgers will take a day off to think about what they have done, or more appropriately what they haven't done.

LAst Night's Action: Lakers Sting Hornets
Lakers 109, Hornets 80 - Two of the hottest teams in the NBA met in New Orleans, but only one of them lived up to the billing. Los Angeles thumped the Hornets despite playing on back-to-back nights and New Orleans having several days of rest. Maybe they just got cold. The Lakers bench was key, outscoring the Hornet's reserves by 42-9. It was like the reverse of a USC game.

True the ole ball coach Steve Spurrier named him Sexy Rexy, but he’s...
LAist Armchair Quarterback Week 3: Get Rex Off the Field!!!!!
I’m a huge Chicago Bears fan, and my friends saw the terrible pain I was in watching the Superbowl this year. After that loss it pained to me to make the prediction that the Bears would be in a lot of trouble this season. The fact that it has come true makes me feel like I’m passing a kidney stone. Just like Grady Little was obstinate in keeping Nomar Garciaparra at first base this...
LAst Night's Action: Sorry, Sarah From Brentwood
Colts 29, Bears 17 - If you happened to be near a TV, radio, or computer in the past day, you probably know about this lil' gem. The game was full of rain, turnovers, funny commercials, and a few explosive plays. Payton Manning shed the championship monkey from his back and was named Super Bowl MVP. Tony Dungy became the first black coach to win the big one, but said it was even more important...
