LA Clippers defeat Memphis Grizzlies 101-97 (OT). Blake Griffin led all scorers with 30 points and fouled out in overtime to help lead the Clippers to a 3-1 series victory over the Grizzlies. Caron Butler, broken left hand and all, scored 14 points while Chris Paul added 27. Of course, no one at Dodger Stadium seemed to care about the proceedings. more ›

Monday was a day of change and optimism for the Dodgers. While the game wasn't pretty by any stretch of the imagination, the Dodgers celebrated the winds of change with a 9-1 victory over the San Francisco Giants. more ›

Of course it was going to happen this way. In his first four at-bats, Matt Kemp was close to getting the ball out of the park. Four fly balls yielded a career-high three doubles and an out, yet he was still stuck on 35 home runs. more ›

Clayton Kershaw looked dejected. With his head bowed down in the dugout after making 115 pitches against the San Francisco Giants, the two walks he gave up in the eighth inning loomed large. They were what stood in the way between him and the first Dodger 20-game winner since Ramon Martinez did it on October 1, 1990. more ›

Against a more formidable opponent than the Golden Gophers of Minnesota, it looked to be more of the same for the Trojans: the Trojans should have had a commanding lead in the fourth quarter only to be denied by their own hubris. more ›

On this Friday night, we were treated to two pitching duels with both the Angels and the Dodgers defeat the Yankees and Giants respectively 2-1. It seemed like a karmic gift for suffering through this little heat wave in Southern California this week. more ›

To offset the embarrassment going on concurrently in Delaware, the Dodgers and Giants sent their best to the mound for a matinee performance. With a Clayton Kershaw and Tim Lincecum pitched affair, it really came as no surprise the game would be a 1-0 hemorrhoid-inducing tight walk. more ›

As if the depths of this dark season for the Dodgers haven’t been enough, this team passes yet another milemarker of their ineptitude. For the first time since 1969, the Dodgers have lost six in a row to the Giants. more ›

The first pitch Chad Billingsley made in the bottom of the fourth inning went a couple of feet short of being deposited into McCovey Cove. Nonetheless there was no doubt that ball was a home run from the instant it left Pablo Sandoval’s bat. And there was never any doubt that despite the Giants only taking a 1-0, there would be no way for the Dodgers to mount a recovery. more ›

It’s come to this. I asked Dodger Manager Don Mattingly how he would solve the perpetual state of crisis in the Middle East. “Not very well,” he deadpanned. And so went the first two minutes of Mattingly’s daily pregame comments to the media before the Dodgers 3-1 loss to the San Francisco Giants. more ›

You have to give the Dodgers some amount of credit. At least they changed the script late in their 8-5 loss to the San Francisco Giants. By late, I mean at almost the last possible minute. After all they did look like the same old Dodgers for seven innings. The only offense generated was Matt Kemp’s solo homer in the fifth inning and Rod Barajas’ RBI double to score Jay Gibbons in the seventh. more ›

Nashville Predators Anaheim Ducks 4-1. Back in 2003 the then-Mighty Ducks of Anaheim rode goalie Jean-Sebastian Giguere into a game seven of the Stanley Cup Finals. The Ducks probably never wanted to be on the other end of things, but Predators’ goalie Pekka Rinne’s 27 saves helped give the team the early 1-0 series lead over the Ducks. more ›

LA Lakers defeat San Antonio Spurs 102-93. With the Spurs sitting their starters in favor of the Austin Toros, the Lakers had a surefire game to break their five game losing streak and puff their chests out a little as they head into the playoffs. Well it turns out Spurs’ head coach Gregg Popovich decision to sit his starters was the smart one since none of them got hurt. Meanwhile Andrew Bynum left the game in the second quarter with a hyper-extended right knee. He will get an MRI on Wednesday. more ›

LA Dodgers defeat San Francisco Giants 6-1. The Giants yet again play defense best suited for the Benny Hill Show. In the second inning after Matt Kemp walked the Giants had him picked off attempting to steal second. Shortstop Miguel Tejada dropped the ball as he applied the tag. To make matters worse James Loney hit a line drive to second baseman Freddy Sanchez who couldn’t cleanly catch it. The ball dribbles off to centerfield and Kemp scores. more ›

Angelenos are invited to stop by a fundraising event being held today at Dodger Stadium to benefit Bryan Stow, the Giants fan who was attacked after the Dodgers' home opener on March 31st. "Donations, which will go to a trust fund established by Stow’s family to benefit him and his children, will be accepted at Dodger Stadium’s Parking Lot 1 between 8 a.m. and 3 p.m. Monday," explains CBS2. more ›

Men are known to keep their underwear way past its expiration date. Until the darn thing disintegrates in the wash we will keep it in our rotation, holes and frayed elastic be damned. Well someone in the Giants’ clubhouse should alert right fielder Aubrey Huff that his magical red thong that mysteriously propelled the Giants to their World Series Championship last season has outlived its usefulness as evidenced by the Dodgers' 7-5 victory over the Giants. more ›

I never thought I would ever live to see the day when the chants of “Beat L.A.” from San Francisco Giants’ fans would drown out the boos from the Dodger fans at Dodger Stadium. But in the middle of the Giants’ three-run two-out rally in the fifth inning that helped them to their 10-0 win, that’s exactly what happened. more ›

What in the holy name of Davey Lopes is going on here? It’s one thing for Dodgers’ starting pitcher Chad Billingsley (W, 1-0) to take third on the fly ball to right field and taking leads off the bases as if he were an everyday player. more ›

Dodgers vs. Giants. Clayton Kershaw vs. two-time National League Cy Young Award winner Tim Lincecum. That pitching duel was as spectacular as could be envisioned with neither ceding anything through five innings. But a stupid mistake by Giants’ catcher Buster Posey in the sixth inning helped buoy the Dodgers to a 2-1 victory. more ›

San Antonio Spurs defeat LA Clippers 97-88. Baron Davis was out of the game with a knee problem and has admitted that he was out of shape coming into the season. Well Fatty McFat didn’t look like he was needed that much since this was the first game the Clippers didn’t lose in double-digits. With backup point guard Randy Foye also out for his second game with a strained hamstring, the point guard duties fell to rookie Eric Bledsoe who ended up with nine points and three assists in 40 minutes. more ›

LA Kings defeat Dallas Stars 5-2. With the return of Drew Doughty pushed back further thanks to “concussion-like symptoms,” defenseman Jack Johnson has picked up the slack making an imprint this game with three assists. more ›

Portland Trail Blazers defeat LA Clippers 98-88. The Clippers have been waiting for the debut of Blake Griffin for more than a year, and in the opening seconds of their game no. 1 he provided these two gems for his first two buckets of his young career: more ›

LA Kings defeat Carolina Hurricanes 4-3. With Head Coach Terry Murray deciding to save goalie Jonathan Quick for division foe Phoenix Coyotes Thursday night, a shaky Jonathan Bernier had a tough go of it for the first two periods having not played since Oct. 10, 2010 in Calgary in a 3-1 loss. Thankfully he loosened up in the third period and the offense bailed him out for the 4-3 win over the Carolina Hurricanes. more ›

USC Trojans defeat California Golden Bears 48-14. After consecutive conference losses against Washington and Stanford, the Trojans decided to take their frustrations out on the Bears. The first half belonged to the Trojans as they racked up 42 points and 372 of their total 589 yards while shutting down Cal in every phase of the game. more ›

Detroit Red Wings defeat Anaheim Ducks 4-0. To be honest the Ducks didn’t look horrible the entire game, but early scoring by the Wings took the Ducks out of it. Johan Franzen got things started 5:11 in the game with Mike Modano, freshly signed after a nice send-off by the Dallas Stars, following up just 24 seconds later to give Detroit the quick 2-0 lead. Their overall deficiencies were further exposed as Pavel Datsyuk (5:29) and Dan Cleary (16:55) added two goals in the second period. Two positive notes for the Ducks: their penalty-kill group did not allow a goal in six Detroit power-play opportunities for 9:09 minutes, and top draft pick Cam Fowler played well in his debut playing 20:48 with five blocked shots and a hit. The Ducks will have to quickly regroup as they have a game Saturday night in Nashville. Jonas Hiller made 39 saves for the Ducks while Jimmy Howard saved all 21 shots for the Red Wings. more ›

LA Galaxy defeat Philadelphia Union 1-0. A corner kick by David Beckham in the 27th minute connected with Edson Buddle who headed the ball into the net for his 16th goal of the season. The win gives the Galaxy 56 points and clearly in the driver’s seat for the club’s third Supporters’ Shield - the league’s best regular season record. more ›

Cleveland Indians defeat LA Angels 3-2 (11). Ervin Santana made his Major League debut against the Indians on May 17, 2005 and gave up a cycle to the first four Indians’ hitters in the first inning giving the Indians a three runs before even recording an out. Fast forward five years later and Santana had still never recorded a win against the Indians. Doubles by Lou Marson and Shin-Soo Choo in the third inning put Santana on the losing side of the ledger, but solo homers by Hideki Matsui and Mike Napoli in the seventh inning got him out of the doghouse. The Angels couldn’t add anything else to help give Santana a career-high 17th win for the season, and with two outs in the 11th inning third baseman Alberto Callaspo couldn’t field a Shelly Duncan bouncer cleanly allowing the winning run to come home on the walk-off error. more ›

San Francisco Giants defeat LA Dodgers 2-1. In an almost carbon-copy game as Tuesday’s 1-0 thriller, the first team that sneezed between the Dodgers and Giants would be the loser. Well in this game Chad Billingsley (L, 11-10) had the allergies. After Travis Ishikawa hit a one-out double in the seventh inning, Billingsley made a wild pitch that sent Ishikawa to third base paving the way for Mike Fontenot’s bloop single that scored Ishikawa. Having never won a game in his career against the Dodgers before August, Matt Cain (W, 12-10) has now won two since August 1. The Giants added another run in the eighth inning that was set up by a wild pitch by Kenley Jansen that allowed Aubrey Huff to take third base and score on Pablo Sandoval’s fielder’s choice. Andre Ethier made the game a little more respectable with a solo homer with two outs in the ninth against closer Brian Wilson (S, 43). more ›

San Francisco Giants pitchers Jonathan Sanchez (10-8) and Brian Wilson (save #40) dropped Hiroki Kuroda (10-12) and the Los Angeles Dodgers a game further from postseason hopes with a 3-0 win and a 2-1 series victory on ESPN Sunday Night Baseball in front of 43,758 at Dodger Stadium. The Dodgers now find themselves nine games behind Division-leading San Diego, and just as many games back from the Wild Card lead. more ›

Give Jonathan Broxton the golden goat as he blew his sixth save of the season in the Dodgers 5-4 loss to the San Francisco Giants. more ›
