Ducks 2, Canucks 1, 2OT - The Ducks won the series in five games but it felt more like six. Vancouver pushed Anaheim to overtime in three of the games, two of those going into double OT. The final game featured a jaw dropping 63 shots by the Ducks, who only faced 27 in return. Roberto Luongo had 56 saves for Vancouver for a 96.6% save percentage. Five shots were blocked by Dany Sabourin who... more ›

A Word or 52(approx): Gouge away if you wish, but Lost was excellent last night. I need some comic relief tonight so it's My Name Is Earl in Smellovision (go get your TV Guide now with the Smell Card) and the Office for me - I can't commit to more than that, I have a couple bottles of beer waiting for me. Tonight - Thursday - May 3, 2007 Angels @ Royals (FoxSports, 7:00... more ›

Suns 119, Lakers 110 - Everybody saw this one coming, but at least the Lakers made a game of it. Already trailing 3-1 in the first round of the NBA playoffs, the Lakers faced double-digit deficits for much of the night. However, they pulled within two in the third quarter and five in the fourth thanks to strong performances from Kobe Bryant and Lamar Odom. Kobe had a typical 34 point game, but he needed... more ›

A Word or 4 dozen : Somehow I totally missed posting that the Shield was on last night and again it was good. I think one would be hard-pressed to find more raw and compelling performances on any other show available on the networks or basic cable. Being a former SF resident, I haven't been able to get enough of Conan's broadcast from the Orpheum theater on Market Street- too bad that's still bum-junkie... more ›

Ducks 3, Canucks 2, OT - Trailing 2-0 in the final period, Anaheim came storming back in Vancouver. All three of the team's goals came within 20 minutes of ice time, the last one just a couple minutes after the puck was dropped in overtime. The Ducks now lead the series 3-1 and can advance with a win at home on Thursday. Dodgers 2, Diamondbacks 1 - Brad Penny is still smoking hot, hurling six... more ›

Angels 3, Royals 1 - The West's best faced the league's worst in the first of a four game series. Anaheim prevailed thanks to a solid 6 and 1/3 inning performance by John Lackey. In the hard-luck story of the day, Kansas City first baseman Ryan Shealy finally reached base with a 2 RBI double after going hitless in his last nine at-bats. He had been averaging .096 for the season. A couple plays later,... more ›

When Haley Thompson and Dara Weinberg began decorating their slip on sneakers with paint, fabric, bleach, and some crafty ingenuity, they had no idea that an entire business was about to come to life. Based in Los Angeles, Enchanted Royals' one-of-a-kind hand-embellished sneakers have got it all: beauty, individuality and a sense of humor. Haley and Dara, both 24, had been creating clothing and accessories for themselves and their friends for years. It was... more ›

The Pirates came into town as losers of eight straight games; oddly,
they swept the Giants in San Francisco only two weekends ago, and even
managed to scratch a win off St. Louis, but that was a week and a half
ago. The Dodgers happily handed the Bucs three straight losses, and
so they leave town with their losing streak intact and extended eleven
games. They're nowhere near the National League record for futility,
held by the godawful href="http://www.baseball-reference.com/teams/CLV/1899.shtml">1899
Cleveland Spiders, a franchise that defined the depths of dispair for
all time by going 26-128.

That streak might not be the worst in the Senior Circuit, but it's a
local maxima; the Bucs haven't lost so many in a row since erstwhile
manager Fred Haney (and later, Angels GM) led the href="http://www.baseball-reference.com/teams/PIT/1955.shtml">1955
Pirates to a 55-99 record. What's even more embarrassing for the
Bucs is that they got swept ,
one of the few teams that even Pittsburgh should have, in theory, been
able to beat.

Things havent gone well for Angels starting pitcher Kelvim Escobar. more ›

Not even a four-run lead going into the 7th inning seemed safe for the Angels last night -- even though they were shutting out the worst team in baseball. And sure enough, in the 7th the Kansas City Royals knocked in three runs off of Anaheim starter Ervin Santana at the Big A. more ›

Depending on the extent of the tear in Gagne's elbow, which won't be known for at least another week, Gagne might need to have Tommy John surgery for the second time in his career. We're hoping he can just come back in 8 weeks at near-Gagne strength, but his second-degree elbow strain must absolutely be treated with extreme care. more ›
