The misery continued for the Dodgers against the Milwaukee Brewers. It was bad enough they lost 6-3. It was bad enough they are on their first three-game losing streak. But the knockout blow perhaps came in the first inning when Matt Kemp left the game after re-aggravating his left hamstring. more ›

It didn't matter that the Kings had eight days off between series. It didn't matter that it took overtime, the first that was not a series clincher for the Kings in this postseason. The Kings proved that they were still comfortable on the road. more ›

LA Lakers defeat Denver Nuggets 92-88. The game was tied at 86-86 with a minute left. Three pointers by Ramon Sessions and Steve Blake sank the Nuggets in their hopes of tying the series. Not even a Danilo Gallinari flop could slow the Lakers down. Kobe Bryant had 22 points, Andrew Bynum had 19 points while Blake had 10 and Jordan Hill had 12 off the bench. Lakers lead the series 3-1. more ›

A sign on the glass during warmups summed up what Kings fans were feeling: "Finish This." For the first time since 1993 and for only the second time in franchise history, the Kings are in the Conference Finals. more ›

Toronto Blue Jays defeat LA Angels 5-0. It seems the Angels have a hard time beating teams with a winning record. Fresh off their sweep of the lowly Twins and Jered Weaver's no-hitter, the Angels mustered only three hits as Blue Jays' starter Brandon Morrow tossed a complete game shutout. Albert Pujols went 0-for-3 and now has a batting average of .202. more ›

Kings' fans aren't used to this. The Kings have been to the Conference Finals only once. And as the Kings were putting the finishing touches on their 4-2 win against the St. Louis Blues to give them a 3-0 series lead, the inevitable chants started up: "Sweep! Sweep! Sweep!" more ›

LA Lakers defeat Denver Nuggets 104-100. Unsurprisingly the Lakers took Game 2 of this series for a 2-0 series lead as they head for two in Denver. more ›

The Dodgers officially announced the $2 billion sale to Guggenheim Baseball Management on Tuesday. more ›

LA Kings defeat St. Louis Blues 5-2. For a series that everyone predicted would be a low scoring hard hitting affair, only half of the assumptions have rung true. But despite the Kings exploding all over the Blues in the first period, there were more sighs of relief than pure joy. more ›

LA Clippers defeat Memphis Grizzlies 99-98. Did anyone let the Clippers know that they were in the playoffs? The last time we saw this team in the playoffs, we saw them lose by 20 points in Game 7 of the second round of the playoffs to the Phoenix Suns in 2006. more ›

It was a nearly perfect lazy Sunday afternoon at the Ravine: 74 degrees, a slight haze to temper the glaring sun. Despite some other sort of sporting event taking place in town concurrently, 48,753 came out to watch the Dodgers sweep the Washington Nationals 2-0 in yet another pitchers' duel. more ›

LA Kings defeat St. Louis Blues 3-1. Matt Greene scored his first playoff goal which just happened to be a shortie. Dustin Penner added an empty netter to ice the game. The Kings win a postseason game against the Blues for the first time in their ninth try. more ›

When the Nationals had a rain out in Miami last Sunday that set their pitching rotation back a day, it seemed like a disappointment for baseball fans losing the would-be Clayton Kershaw and Stephen Strasburg duel Friday night. To compensate the baseball gods decided to bestow upon Los Angeles the Major League debut of the Nationals' wunderkind outfielder Bryce Harper. more ›

Cleveland Indians defeat LA Angels 3-2. Prior to the game, Manager Mike Scioscia named Scott Downs as the new closer replacing Jordan Walden. Too bad it didn't matter in this game. After Jered Weaver tossed six innings of shutout ball staked to a 2-0 lead, Hisanori Takahashi was charged with the tying runs. The bullpen held strong until rookie David Carpenter gave up the winning run on Asdrubal Cabrera's single. Of note was Cabrera's bat flip after hitting the game winner. more ›

A couple of months ago, an imagining of the top two National League teams would have probably entailed the Philadelphia Phillies, Miami Marlins, Milwaukee Brewers or Arizona Diamondbacks. But the Washington Nationals and the Dodgers? That's just plain silly talk. more ›

A portion of a wrongful death lawsuit filed by the parents of a toddler who fell to his death from a luxury box at the Staples Center has been tossed out. more ›

New York Knicks defeat LA Clippers 99-93. If the Clippers won this final game of the season, they would have clinched the four-seed and home court advantage in the playoffs. Instead they will have to hope that Memphis loses at home to the Dwight Howard-less Orlando Magic on Thursday. Chris Paul dressed for the Clippers, but suffering a strained left groin no matter how mild it was he did not enter the game. more ›

The Dodgers might have dodged the incoming storm, but they couldn't escape the clouds of discontent from up high in their 4-2 loss to the Atlanta Braves in the rubber game of the series. more ›

Atlanta Hawks defeat LA Clippers 109-102. It's a good day in Laker Land. First they learned they will be without Ron Artest for only seven games for his elbow to James Harden on Sunday afternoon. Then the Clippers decided to choke losing in Atlanta allowing the Lakers to clinch the third seed in the Western Conference. The Clippers head to Madison Square Garden for a Wednesday night matchup which if they win will clinch the fourth seed. more ›

One of Vin Scully's favorite aphorisms to quote during games originally comes from a Robert Burns' poem "To a Mouse" written in 1785: "The best laid plans of mice and men..." The Dodgers 4-3 loss to the Atlanta Braves Tuesday night best illustrated this. more ›

So the Dodgers lost in Houston 12-0 Sunday afternoon. Big whoop. They dusted off their shoulders, hopped on a plane to Los Angeles and came back to beat the Atlanta Braves 7-2 on the backs of their 6-7-8 hitters. more ›

When you change your name to something as associative as "Metta World Peace" and then you go and elbow a rival on the basketball floor, well, people might have some suggestions for what you should have changed your name to instead. more ›

LA Kings defeat Vancouver Canucks 2-1 (OT). After losing the last two regular season games to the San Jose Sharks by choking two-goal leads in the third period, there didn't seem to be much hope for this team. It seemed as if the fire went out as soon as they clinched a playoff berth despite having the chance of being the 3-seed. And that's almost never a good omen for a playoff bound team. But after storming out of the gate winning the first two games in Vancouver, anything could happen. more ›

San Antonio Spurs defeat LA Lakers 121-97. No defense, no win. In Kobe Bryant's return after sitting out seven games with a shin injury, the Lakers supposedly bolstered defense was a sieve to the Spurs. Bryant had 18 points in his return while Andrew Bynum had 17 points and only two rebounds. In fact the Spurs out-rebounded the Lakers 42-29. more ›

LA Dodgers defeat Milwaukee Brewers 4-3. After losing the first two games of the series by one run (in walkoff fashion no less), it was inevitable the Dodgers would win this game since the Dodgers had never been swept by the Brewers. Thanks to a Matt Kemp's power, the Dodgers could rest a bit easier as they head to Houston. more ›

Vancouver Canucks defeat LA Kings 3-1. more ›

The Kings hadn't been in this position in nearly a decade when they faced a Game 7 against the Colorado Avalanche in the Mile High City on April 29, 2002, a 4-0 loss. Hit the fast-forward button, the Kings still couldn't find the finishing touch in their 3-1 loss to the Vancouver Canucks. more ›

Milwaukee Brewers defeat LA Dodgers 5-4. The game really did look over when Andre Ethier hit the two-run homer in the top of the eighth inning to give the Dodgers the 4-3 lead. It still looked over when Dodgers' closer Javy Guerra had runners on first and second with no outs in the bottom of the ninth, that triple play on Sunday still within sight through the rear view mirror. more ›

LA Angels defeat Oakland Athletics 6-0. With the Angels returning home a bit battered and bruised with a 3-6 record, they needed something to lift some spirits. Enter Kendrys Morales. more ›

LA Lakers defeat Dallas Mavericks 112-108 (OT). more ›
