Kuchar leads Colonial without finishing 2nd round

Penguins oust Sens in five, reach Eastern finals

Boston or the New York Rangers? To be honest, Ottawa's Daniel Alfredsson doesn't think it matters who the Pittsburgh Penguins face in the Eastern Conference finals. At the moment, Alfredsson believes the Penguins are a cut above. "I think they would be the favorite to play either of those two ...

Pacers steal Game 2 away from Heat in Miami, 97-93

David West was more than a little disappointed when the Indiana Pacers failed to make a defensive play at the end to win Game 1 of the Eastern Conference finals. So in Game 2, he made those plays himself. Twice, in fact. And he victimized the game's best player to ...

Late turnovers doom Heat in Game 2 loss, 97-93

LeBron James blamed one person after the Miami Heat let home-court advantage in the Eastern Conference finals slip from their hands. Predictably, that was himself. The league's MVP had two turnovers in the final minute — both times on passes that were knocked away by David West — and they ...

Pacers steal Game 2 from Heat, 97-93

David West punched two passes from LeBron James away in the final minute, then punched the air. He had plenty of reason to celebrate.

Penguins rip Ottawa 6-2, move to conference finals

The Pittsburgh Penguins expected desperation. Instead, the listless Ottawa Senators offered little more than resignation.

Sanchez loses no-hit bid in 9th, Tigers beat Twins

Add another near miss in this 2013 baseball season — this time it was Detroit's Anibal Sanchez falling just short of a no-hitter. Sanchez's bid was broken up with one out in the ninth inning Friday night when Minnesota's Joe Mauer hit a clean single up the middle. That was ...

No shave for Johnson after Nats top Phillies 5-2

The Washington Nationals didn't have a close shave, and neither did Davey Johnson. The 70-year-old manager still looked closer to 80 after the Nationals beat the Philadelphia Phillies 5-2 Friday night, sporting the scraggly beginnings of facial hair he had vowed to keep until his team started hitting. Five runs ...
