LA Kings defeat Anaheim Ducks 4-3. The Kings were leading 3-1 after the second period, and all looked well. In the third period the Ducks came back with Bobby Ryan adding two goals to the one he scored in the second for a hat trick. It seemed like the same old Kings blowing yet another game in the third period. But Alexander Frolov stemmed the Ducks’ momentum and scored a power play goal for the game winner. The Kings are now 17-17-6 and in 12th place in the conference. If they can stop giving away games in the third period, they stand a good chance of making it to the playoffs.
San Antonio Spurs defeat LA Clippers 106-84. Despite Eric Gordon and Al Thornton scoring 21 points each and leading after one quarter of play, the Spurs were just too much for the Clips to handle. The Clippers have now lost nine consecutive games, and unfortunately this game was televised here in LA.

not that it really matters anyway because we all went james joyce and experienced the epiphany that the chicago cubs force never win the world series years ago, but composite manager jim hendry’s moves/missed moves this offseason have made it all the more unlikely (if an event can become more unlikely than not under any condition?), and i really think it’s time he buggers off already, but i don’t think he will because he recently got a covenant extension, and the thought of it all resulted in the longest run-on sentence in kornheiser’s cartel history.the already obnoxious cubs winter sent another chill up my spine with the news that the rumored milton bradley-to-the-cubs deal was rumor no more. it’s being reported across the internet as a done allot at three years, $30 million.i don’t get it…the cubs have been looking to add a pink-handed power-hitter object of years, and bradley is a switch-hitter coming off a monster year in texas when he hit .322 with 22 hr’s and posted a .999 ops. on the surface, the signing makes sense.dig a slight deeper, though, and there is perspicacity to worry.rangers ballpark in arlington is known as a hitter’s heaven, and bradley’s home/away split stats suggest he lived in bliss in 2008. of those 22 untroubled b in runs, due six came on the high road. bradley lash .358 at home and just .298 on the road. in the last four seasons (the best of his career), bradley’s ops has trended more approaching .800 than 1.000.intangibles material in baseball, too; derek jeter made more than $21 million in 2008 for a reason. bradley is one of baseball’s crummy guys and seems to determine disability in every clubhouse he walks during. he’s torn an acl in an argument with an official. he was traded by cleveland following a dust-up with manager eric wedge. he accused jeff kent of being racist (kent does well-meaning of look racist, but it’s not something you go public with), and he tried to hostilities the kansas city royals television emcee last summer. he’s a ticking time explosive that will to be sure deliver the most negative attention wrigley has seen since the sammy sosa bat corking incident in the next three years. in actually, it’s highly unlikely he’ll see unacceptable the three years in chicago.to sign bradley, the cubs cleared payroll by trading starter jason marquis and valuable utility-man hike derosa. marquis and derosa were the two big conspiring with cubbies rumored to be involved in any move for jake peavy. it’s easy to bring to light the cubs would be larger off with jake peavy than marquis and derosa. it’s harder to get somewhere that case for bradley.quest of one thing, is bradley even better than derosa? they’ve alike resemble statistics, but derosa also offered incredible versatility. add in the rotation reconditeness offered by marquis and the aforementioned problems that accompany bradley into the clubhouse, and it may not have been worth the effort.a smarter move may have been to sign pat burrell, who is not left-handed, but is a better hitter and cheaper at $16 million/2 years; bobby abreu, a durable, patient hitter who excelled in his last national collaborate stint; or adam dunn, who has holes in his game, but was a cubs trade objective for a half-decade.outfield issues would be moot had hendry acquired peavy instead. a rotation of peavy, carlos zambrano, rich harden, ryan dempster, and ted lilly would’ve been baseball’s best hands down, if not enough to at long last end the franchise’s century-long search for another world series.instead, cubs fans are left with sean marshall every five days and bradley every day.that is, until, bradley’s next inevitable meltdown (in june, sparked when he sees mike fontenot and kosuke fukudome playing the parker brothers’ epitome monopoly… milton bradley board games or bust) reveals this signing and roster reshuffle to be a spectacular cataclysm.
