NHL Stanley Cup: Penguins 4, Red Wings 3, 3 OT. It’s too bad nobody is watching, because the Stanley Cup Finals have been exciting this year. The Pens have been dead in the water several times this series and yet, they forced a Game 6 last night.
NFL Notes:
The Cowboys gave Terrell Owens a 4-year, $34 million extension. He’s 35 and probably won’t see the end of this contract, but he’s coming off his best season in six years and surprisingly, he hasn’t been too much of a pain in the ass.
MLB Musings:
Phillies 5, Reds 4. Reds’ rookie sensation Jay Bruce now has three home runs in three games. That would be impressive if it weren’t for Phillies’ and possibly league MVP Chase Utley hitting five dingers in five games. Utley is just plain sick.
Cubs 7, Rockies 6. That’s eight in a row now for the Cubs and perhaps what’s most impressive about this streak is that they’ve often trailed in games and had to come back. When a team trails early, but has the confidence to continue to battle back, that’s a scary thing. Carlos Zambrano is now 8-1 – so much for him being overrated huh, mass media?
Indians 13, Rangers 9. Here’s a stat line for you: Casey Blake – 3-5, 2 HR, 7 RBI, 2 runs. Seven RBI? Blake had over half of the Tribe’s run production.
Brewers 4, Diamondbacks 3. Nobody should fall asleep on the Brewers. They’ve now won four straight and if it weren’t for the Cubs’ impressive win streak, they’d be back in the hunt in the NL Central.
