Cardinals, Rangers tied 4-4 after six innings

 

In a World Series game played like a spring-training slopfest, Texas reliever Alexi Ogando forced in the tying run with a bases-loaded walk to Yadier Molina, leaving the St. Louis Cardinals and Rangers 4-4 after six innings Thursday night.
With Texas ahead 3-2 in the Series and one win from its first title, the Rangers wasted 1-0, 3-2 and 4-3 leads. The Cardinals made three errors in a Series game for the first time since 1943, and Rangers first baseman Michael Young made two, with each team allowing two unearned runs.
Matt Holliday was picked off in the sixth at

Eric LeGrand on recovery from paralysis: 'It's a day-to-day process'

 Eric LeGrand sat in the living room of his aunt's and uncle's home, looking back on the spinal cord injury that left him paralyzed during a Rutgers football game last fall and looking ahead to what he believes will be a bright future.

 

"It's a day-by-day process," LeGrand said. "I'm thankful for what I have now, but I'm focused on what's going to 
happen next. ... I enjoy telling my story and it's not over yet. I enjoy giving little chapters now. Chapter 1, Chapter 
2 ... and who knows how many chapters there are, but it's not over yet."

MVP candidate Rose, Bulls looking to finish strong

 

 

The Chicago Bulls have won 12 of 14, hold a two-game lead as the Eastern Conference's top seed and mostly face 
sub-.500 teams in the last nine games of the regular season starting Wednesday at the Minnesota Timberwolves.
Any sense of complacency, however, was shattered by Monday's 97-85 loss to the Philadelphia 76ers, ending a 14
-game home winning streak.
Chicago fell behind early for a third game in a row — coach Tom Thibodeau cites defensive lapses for the poor 
starts — but this time got no late heroics from guard Derrick Rose.
"It's been coming. … We can't

Jazz fight, but fall to Thunder

 

Oklahoma City • Jazz coach Tyrone Corbin received the fight from his team that he wanted. But a Utah team playing without starters Devin Harris and Andrei Kirilenko was eventually outpowered 106-94 by the Thunder on Wednesday at Oklahoma City Arena in a Northwest Division contest.
The Jazz finished 0-3 during their road trip and fell four games behind eighth-place Memphis in the Western Conference standings with just 10 regular-season contests remaining.
Al Jefferson led Utah with 32 points, while Russell Westbrook topped the Thunder with 31.
The Jazz initially held strong against Oklahoma City, trailing 22-20 late during the

Colts tight end Dallas Clark lands 'Criminal Minds' gig during NFL lockout

 

For a few days, Dallas Clark's attention will shift from his surgically repaired right wrist -- it's coming along just fine, thank you -- to memorizing a few lines from a TV script.
Acting beckons the Indianapolis Colts veteran tight end.
"I'm jacked, really," Clark said.
What began as a casual meeting with Rick Dunkle, a writer for CBS' Criminal Minds, led to Clark being written into an April 13 episode. Dunkle grew up in Franklin, Ind., and is a staunch fan of the Colts, and Clark. They met after the Dec. 19 game against Jacksonville.
"The first script had

Lakers' Jackson says burden not easy on Heat

 

 

 

 

MIAMI -- It has come to this: Even Phil Jackson is offering a sympathetic word to the reeling Miami Heat.
The coach of the two-time defending champion Los Angeles Lakers has taken plenty of jabs at the Heat in recent months, over everything from how this roster was put together, Erik Spoelstra's job security, and this week the already-infamous episode dubbed "Crygate."
So on Wednesday, with the Heat in a five-game losing streak, Jackson stood on their home floor and had ample opportunity to poke Miami again.
He went the other way instead.
"From what I've heard, this team feels

The NBA needs to consider its small-market teams

 

No rules mandate Denver must have a strong NBA franchise or that professional basketball players should be as eager to work in Salt Lake City as Los Angeles or Miami.
There's also nothing that guarantees the league's success if medium- and small-market teams continue to lose some of the game's biggest stars - and that's where things seem headed.
The NBA must fix its labor system. It's time to pop the hood, examine the problems carefully and determine what major parts need replacing. The viability of the league is all that's at stake.
I'm not talking about turning back the

NHL Roundup: Lightning down Rangers

 

NEW YORK — Martin St. Louis had a goal and assist, and Vincent Lecavalier snapped a third-period tie during a two-man power play to lift Tampa Bay to a 2-1 victory over the New York Rangers on Sunday in the Lightning's first road game in more than a month.
Fresh off a 7-3-2 homestand, the Lightning looked just fine away from Florida. St. Louis scored in the first period and then set up Lecavalier's 15th goal that made it 2-1. Tampa Bay, second in the Eastern Conference, played on the road for the first time since Jan. 21.
