It's Got to Be the Morning After

Sharks 2 Wings 0- It's something you always hear said on the sports gab fests, that a series doesn't really begin until the home team is beaten at home. All of which means this series is now on. The Sharkies rode some major D-Fence to shut out the Wings in their own building, as Nabby stopped thirty-four shots. To win the game, the Sharks scored two goals within .24 seconds of each other in the first period, the first on a power play. The rest of the game was your typical "man the barricade" game in which the Sharks held and held and held against the charging Wings. Next game is Saturday.

Giants 5 Dodgers 4- It is amazing what an eight game winning streak and a sweep of the Dodgers does for the soul. The sun is a little brighter. Salsa is a little zestier, "Lost" a little less confusing. In other words, all is right in the world. Even better, your first place (yes, they're tied for first place) Giants are on their way to Arizona with the two big guys-- Zito and Cain-- up next in the rotation. See, that's what winning streaks do to you, all of a sudden, everything seems possible. Even an unhittable Armando Benitez.

Yes, we forgot the A's for which we apologize. Besides, they lost last night and we wouldn't want to bring everyone down from an amazing run of Bay Area sports.
