UNIONDALE, N.Y. (AP) Brendan Witt was already having the game of his life when chants of his name echoed around Nassau Coliseum. The hard-hitting defenseman had two goals in the bank when fans clamored for more in the final minute of the New York Islanders' 3-1 win over the Edmonton Oilers on Monday night. The net at the other end was empty, and Witt had a chance at a most-improbable hat trick.

Philadelphia 8 Yankees 6 : AJ Burnett went on three-days rest and he blew up in a huge way. Burnett couldn’t record an out in the third and he ended up surrendering six runs, the big blow coming on a three-run homer from Chase Utley. The Yankees actually had a chance in the ninth.

They didn’t get that good goaltending...

We were visiting the Red Wings web site, and we took note of the various season ticket plans that were available. Leaving aside the fact that we never thought we'd ever see the Red Wings advertising this late in the year for season ticket plans, we were struck by what was available.
