Twins show promise then stumble
By Griffin Jeannette CoolByTheLake.com Heading into interleague play, the Twins were arguably the hottest team in Major League Baseball. The Twins hosted the San Diego Padres for three games and were hoping to add onto the 11-3 record they had built in June. Luckily for them the Padres were at the bottom of their division as well. Friday started off with a five-run first inning for the Twins, ignited on an R.B.I single by Joe Mauer in his first at bat since April 12th. Brian Duensing continued the pitchers dominance by going six innings allowing one run. Alex Burnett came into the … Read More

The Stanley Cup Playoffs ends its incredible run with Wednesday night's Game 7, and it has been a remarkable final series. Vancouver could end up winning the Cup while being outscored by 10 goals, which undoubtedly would be unprecedented. It has been a great series for the home fans, with Vancouver winning two tough, one-goal games in Vancouver, then going to Boston to get blown out 8-1 and 4-0. Back home in Vancouver, the Canucks won by a goal once again in Game 5 to take a 3-2 edge in games, then they went back to Boston with a chance to clinch the Cup -- but were thrashed 5-2.
