The Red Wings took their series to Chicago over the weekend – I’ve got good news and bad news. I usually take the bad news first so I have something to look forward to. On Friday the Red Wings, who were without the injured Pavel Datsyuk, rallied from a 3-nothing deficit to send the game to overtime, but less than two minutes into the extra period Patrick Sharp puts in the gamewinner for the Blackhawks. Now the good news – Sunday at the United Center is was a Red Wing highlight reel! Still without Datsyuk and also short one Nicklas Lidstrom who missed his first playoff game in 16 years, Detroit blasted the Blackhawks from all sides – a short-handed tally from Marion Hossa put Detroit on the board, three power play goals and change later the Red Wings dismiss the Blackhawks 6-1 to take a commanding 3-1 lead in the best-of-7 Western Conference finals. Game 5 tomorrow night live from the Joe at 7:10 on 1660 The Fan.

After back-to-back sweeps the Tigers were due to hit a bump in the road and it was the Rockies. Friday at Comerica the Olde English “D” extended their streak to 7 with a 4-3 win – rookie Rick Porcello won his fourth straight start. But then Saturday it went the other way – Todd Helton homered in the sixth to break a 3-all tie and give the Rockies the 4-3 win. Then Sunday Dontrelle Willis allowed 7 hits and 3 runs in 6 2/3 innings of work as the Rockies took the series with a 3-1 win.

It was Aye Aye to Detroit as they made very short work of the Royals 13-1 yesterday in Kansas City. Gerald Laird parked two in the seats and Justin Verlander stayed on superstar course with 7 shut out innings. The second of that 3 game set is tonight at 8:10 on 590 KZO.
The Cubs are not enjoying such success lately as they recorded their eighth straight downing 10-8 against the Pirates at Wrigley. The boo birds were heard from as Chicago equaled their 2006 losing streak which resulted in a dismal season and the firing of the manager and team president.
The White Sox mounted a 23 hit barrage and pummeled the Angels of Anaheim 17-3.
Jeremy Dye and Jim Thome each hit 3 homers for the Sox.
The Denver Nuggets hammered the Lakers 120-101 last night as Denver evens the series at two apiece. Kobe Bryant led all scorers with 34 but L.A. was outscored in every quarter. Game 5 Wednesday in Los Angeles.
