Oakland: Athletics 10, Angels 8
Weird baseball in Oakland! This game went 19 innings, and lasted just over six-and-a-half hours before Brandon Moss ended it with a two-run, walk-off homer. Also noteworthy: Josh Hamilton went 0-8 with three strikeouts.

Miami: Marlins 4, Mets 3
Weird baseball in Miami! Nick Green won the game in the 15th inning with a sacrifice fly after big Jon Rauch threw three solid innings to close out the game. Anyone who actually stayed to watch all 15 innings of this game has severe emotional problems.

Atlanta: Hawks 102, Pacers 91
Josh Smith played like Good Josh Smith and finished with 29 points, 11 rebounds, four assists and three steals. Paul George's 18-point explosion in the second half almost brought the Pacers back, but now the series is tied at 2-2, meaning there will be at least two more games for us to not…

Brooklyn: Bulls 110, Nets 91
The Nets outscored the Bulls 33-18 in the fourth quarter, ten of those coming from Andray Blatche, who finally had a meaningful playoff performance. Brook Lopez continued to play great, scoring 28 points and grabbing 10 rebounds.

Houston: Rockets 105, Thunder 103
The Rockets made a huge second-half rally and staved off the sweep. Kevin Durant was his usual brilliant self, scoring 38 points on just 16 shots, but Chandler Parsons(!) responded with 27 points, 10 rebounds, and eight assists.

Again, as a Nuggets fan, this is where I would like to add the following: Fuck this. Fuck all of it. Read more

Palm Beach: Michael Jordan got married
There were about 300 guests in attendance, including Tiger Woods and Spike Lee, and Usher provided some of the entertainment. Sounds like it was a pretty great time!

New York: Phillies 5, Mets 1
The Phillies broke this one open in the seventh inning when Ryan Howard smacked a pinch-hit, two-run double. This caused the two old guys who were sitting behind me at the stadium to gripe about Terry Collins's decision to yank Jon Niese for the next 15 minutes. So that was fun.

Chicago: Rays 8, White Sox 3
David Price dominated through seven innings, striking out nine and allowing three earned runs. He also may have been cussed out by the home plate umpire. Umpires are the worst.

Milwaukee: Heat 88, Bucks 77
The Heat sweep, and the worst first-round series of the playoffs is over with. Thank god.

Los Angeles: Spurs 103, Lakers 82
The Lakers nightmare season ended just as it should have, with a perfect dose of schadenfreude.

Boston: Celtics 97, Knicks 90
Hey look, Jason Terry can still play basketball. The Jet finally contributed something to the Celtics' season by scoring nine points in overtime and preventing the C's from getting swept on their home court.

Oakland: Warriors 115, Nuggets 101
Steph Curry, man. Steph Curry is everything.

Fully expecting to hear that Steph Curry has been eaten by a lion within the next fifteen minutes. Read more

No, but he could have had Rubio, Curry, and Lawson. He ended up with just Rubio. Read more

Raleigh: Rangers 4, Hurricanes 3
The Rangers locked up a playoff spot in dramatic fashion. Ryan Callahan scored the game-winning goal 2:55 into the overtime period, and the Rangers jumped into the seventh seed in the East.

Detroit: Royals 8, Tigers 3
The Royals got eight strong innings from James Shields and entered the top of the 10th in a 3-3 tie. That's when Alex Gordon blew things open with a grand slam.

New York: First round of NFL draft is completed
A bunch of fat dudes got drafted and the Bills went rogue on everyone.

Milwaukee: Heat 104, Bucks 94
OK, we only have one game to go before this series is over. We can make it, you guys.
