Talk about a change in scenarios. After sweeping the Bluejackets in 4, the Red Wings and Ducks are takin’ it to 7 after Anaheim double ‘em up 2-1 on the west coast. Jonas Hiller was stingy in the net for the Ducks swatting away 38 shots. So back to Motown we go for game 7 tomorrow night. The winner then limps on to battle the Blackhawks in the conference finals.
The other NHL battle is going to a 7th game as the Bruins cheated the grim reaper with a 4-2 doubling of Carolina. The Hurricanes do well in game seven’s and they’ll need to as that series moves north to Boston tomorrow night.
The NBA playoffs continued last night with Kobe and the Lakers humiliating Houston by 40. The 118-78 drubbing give L.A. a 3-2 series lead. It could wrap up with a Laker win tomorrow night in Texas.
A much tighter game was played in Boston as the Celtics had to reach deep to come back from a 14 point 4th quarter deficit. The 92-88 victory gives Boston a 3-2 edge in their series with Orlando.
Moving to the diamond, a pair of solo homers from Jeff Larish and Ramon Santiago was all the Tigers could muster as they fell to the Twins 6-2 in the Twin Cities. Detoit starter Armando Gallaraga knew he did a couple things wrong.
His record evens out at 3-3. Your home for Tiger baseball is 590 KZO.
In Chicago Milton Bradley put a two-run homer in the sixth to take the lead and a pair of insurance runs came later as the Cubs knocked over the Padres 6-2. You don’t hear of many 31 year old rookies but the Cubbies have Bobby Scales and he hit his first career home run and coach Lou was happy for him.
The Padres have now lost 11 of their last 13.
And in Cleveland Jim Thome had a pair of two run homers to lead the White Sox past the Indians 7-4.
