The Hawks will force a game 7 against the Canucks on Tuesday thanks in part to Vancouver starting rookie goalie Corey Schneider. Schneider became injured on a game tying penalty shot goal by Michael Frolik, which forced Vancouver to bring Roberto Luongo. Ben Smith scored the overtime goal for the Hawks, who evened the series at three games a piece.
The Braves swept the Giants this weekend.
Andre Either extended his hitting streak to 21 games as the Dodgers beat the Cubs 7-3. Carlos Zambrano started the game and his rough first inning proved too much for the Cub bats. The loss is Zambrano's first since June 25 2010.
Albert Pujols was removed after the seventh inning of yesterdays 3-0 victory over the Reds citing mild tightness in his right hamstring. Pujols is only hitting .250 this season with 7 dingers and 7 RBI. If he keeps it up, maybe the Cards front office starts feeling a little better about not getting that contract signed.
UFC 129 is this Saturday and as always, the UFC brass is calling it the "biggest fight in UFC history." Granted, it is a lovely card featuring GSP, Jake Shields, Randy Couture and Lyoto Machida but does EVERY OTHER ppv have to be the biggest and most important ever? Apparently so. You might recall some other "biggest fight" cards like UFC 40, UFC 79, UFC 81, UFC 82, UFC 83, UFC 87, UFC 91, UFC 92, UFC 93, UFC 100, UFC 116, UFC 118, UFC 121 and UFC 126. Feel free to let me know about any I missed.
