As Spring dawns bright in the north, the Winter sports are coming to a close. In the Canada and the USA, the National Hockey League playoffs continue with round 2. Each of the pairs seem evenly matched, as the series are running closely. Last night the Boston Bruins beat the Columbus Blue Jackets with a last minute goal, to take a lead in their series 3-2. They play again tomorrow night. The San Jose Sharks currently also lead in their series 3-2. Their opponents, the Colorado Avalanche, will host their game tomorrow night. This afternoon, the St. Louis Blues will travel to the Dallas Stars for the sixth game in their series. Dallas currently holds a 3-2 lead. The fourth series has concluded already, as the Carolina Hurricanes took their series over the New York Islanders, winning all four games, and being the first team to advance to Round Three. Hockey never disappoints. In Major League Baseball. Six teams currently rate above .600. Two of those teams are currently duking it out this weekend. The St. Louis Cardinals and the Chicago Cubs, who never disappoint, are currently playing a series in Chicago, and the Cubs have, so far, taken both games. The Cardinals are at .606 this morning, on the decline, and the Cubs are at .600. Today's results should create further movement in the National League Central. In the National League West, the Los Angeles Dodgers currently have the best record in the National League, at .629, and the Arizona Diamondbacks are also at .606. At this point in the season, the American League teams would appear to be more evenly matched. Only two teams have been standouts this season, with records above .600. The Tampa Bay Rays are at .636, in the American League East. In the National League Central Division, with the best record in baseball, the Minnesota Twins find themselves, astoundingly, at the top of the heap with a .645 record (for the uninitiated, this means they have won 64.5 per cent of their games so far this season). Treat yourselves to some Hot Dish, Twins. Good baseball? You betcha. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "omnisport" group.
