Gasol injured with national team
MADRID — Los Angeles Lakers center Pau Gasol broke the middle finger of his left hand during practice with the Spanish national team and had surgery Monday, the Lakers confirmed.

Attorney: Both sides should work it out
Police say the cab driver was beaten because he did not have 20 cents in change to give Kane, the No. 1 overall pick in the 2007 draft and the NHL rookie of the year the following year. The 62-year-old cab driver, identified as Jan Radecki, said he was punched, grabbed by the throat and [...]
Duo gives Chicago high hopes
They got to know each other years ago, as basketball prodigies growing up in Florida. It has been only as Chicago Sky teammates, though, that Candice Dupree and Sylvia Fowles have really gotten to know each others’ games.

There will probably be sporadic discussion of Silva facing heavyweights. (He’s a solid 220 when not dieting down.) That’s [...]

DJ Gallo, Jr. The VIIth: Dad, why do we root for the Pirates?
Me: Well, because our family has Pittsburgh roots and we have always rooted for the Pirates.
DJGJr7: I know. But the Pirates are terrible. They are an embarrassment to the city. Why should we root for them? If the Pittsburgh symphony stinks, we don’t [...]
New world of hope awaits Chapman
As he sits under a starry night on the patio of a restaurant, Aroldis Chapman plays with a small, hand-held video camera used to record his workout from earlier that day. He punches at buttons with his unusually long, lean fingers — which give the pitching phenom an advantage when spinning a curveball. Once Chapman [...]
New world of hope awaits Chapman
Though Chapman was a budding star in the Cuban National Series for the Holguin Sabuesos and for the Cuban national team, he was not treated like one. In Holguin, Chapman spent his off days watching television on his family’s old 34-inch set. When he was bored, he’d borrow his friend’s bike, a rickety thing with [...]
