AP - Roger Clemens apologized Monday for unspecified mistakes in his personal life, a statement Brian McNamee's lawyers intend to use to attack the pitcher's credibility at trial.
After being thoroughly overwhelmed on the boards, 58-41, in Game 1 victory, the Lakers work on increasing physicality. The Jazz has issues too, mainly how to deal with Kobe Bryant.
The questions bounced around the practice facility as if the Lakers actually lost Game 1 against Utah.
The Angels' right-hander strikes out nine and improves his record to 6-0 in the victory.
KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- Angels pitcher Ervin Santana insists he doesn't live in the past. Which is a good thing because the past wasn't always good to him.
San Antonio gets left with an 0-2 series deficit for the first time since 2001 as Paul (30 points and 12 assists) and New Orleans pick up where they left off in Game 1 with a 102-84 victory.
Shutting down David West only gave the San Antonio Spurs front-row seats for the Chris Paul show.
Former Lakers coach was there at creation, when Globetrotters impresario Abe Saperstein introduced the three-point shot in the short-lived American Basketball League.
Whenever a three-point basket brings a crowd to its feet or swings the momentum in a basketball game, Bill Sharman remembers an old friend.
The pitcher says the apology has nothing to do with steroids or HGH, but a public relations expert questions whether it might have been wiser to remain silent.
Roger Clemens spoke up Monday, but Hollywood's go-to guy for crisis communications said Clemens might have been better advised to keep quiet.
They hit three home runs, including DeWitt's first in the major leagues, and Billingsley pitches L.A. to its ninth victory in 10 games.
The Dodgers brought the good times back with them to Dodger Stadium on Monday night, continuing the roll they started here 11 days ago and toted along during a triumphant trip to Florida and Colorado.
Says the club's new skipper: "Looking at the Dodgers' history and growing up with them in Brooklyn, I was just curious if managing could be fun again."
The words on the door to Joe Torre's office are faint, nearly obscured by countless coats of Dodger-blue paint.
Last May, the Lakers star was trashing the organization, on his way to demanding a trade. This May he's MVP and they're back in title hunt. How'd they get from there to here?
Utah forward Carlos Boozer says limiting the Lakers star's free throws and defending him better are keys to avoiding a second-round exit.
SALT LAKE CITY -- The Jazz returned here for two days of practice before Game 2 on Wednesday night and seemingly the only solution in finding enough distance to separate themselves from Kobe Bryant's jersey.
