(“The TEN” is not a top ten but ten items worth being included in “The TEN”)

  1. LeBron James hit a three pointer with just under a minute left to lift the Lakers to a 103-100 win over the Golden State Warriors Wednesday night in the Western Conference play-in game. 
  2. Corey Kluber threw a no-hitter in the New York Yankees 2-0 win over the Texas Rangers Wednesday night.  It was the sixth no-hitter in the major leagues this year and the second in two nights. 
  3. The Dodgers had won 8 of their last 10 games to improve to 25-18 heading into Thursday night’s action. They were still in third place, 2.5 games behind the San Francisco Giants. 
  4. As of Thursday the Giants had the best record in baseball at 28-16. 
  5. The Washington Wizards beat the Indiana Pacers 142-115 in the Eastern Conference play-in game. The Pacers were eliminated from the post season. 
  6. Tim Tebow officially signed with the Jacksonville Jaguars on a one-year deal and will play tight end. 
  7. The Buffalo Bills have hired two women to full-time positions and added another two as interns. 
  8. Former Texas/NFL star running back/ Heisman Trophy winner Ricky Williams turns 44 today. 
  9. Albert Pujols hit his first home run as a Dodger Thursday night – a two run shot against the Arizona Diamondbacks. 
  10. “If it weren’t for Jesus, I would not be where I am today and my life would be without purpose. I’ve heard kids say they want to be just like me when they grow up. They should know I want to be just like Jesus.”- Albert Pujols.

    Well, the Dodgers got that three-game sweep against the Giants, but they’re not back in first place just yet. L.A. is still half a game behind the pesky San Diego Padres, due to the fact that the Padres swept their own weekend series against the fading Seattle Mariners, who’ve lost eight of their last 11 games.
    The Dodgers are looking pretty good again now that they’ve won 11 of their last 12. But, those injuries and shaky performances by their middle relievers and setup men are still causes for concern.

    All right, it’s the Dodgers versus the Giants in a three-game weekend series at Oracle Park. A series sweep by the Dodgers would put them back in first place, but that will probably be a tough hill to climb.
    The Giants and the second-place San Diego Padres both look like serious contenders in the National League West, but the Dodgers’ current winning trend has me feeling optimistic.
