Raiders draft bashing courtesy of Kawakami. Who else?

Basketball

From this weekend, Bruce Jenkins argues that the Warriors should try to acquire Andre Miller.

Hockey

Thornton, Marleau and Setoguchi stepped up in game 5, but Nabokov needs to step up tonight. Seriously, has Nabokov become overrated? Was he always overrated? I mean, Jonas Hiller is schooling him this series. Jonas Hiller. Not Martin Brodeur. Jonas Hiller.

No excuses, play through your injuries, it's do or die tonight.

Baseball

Steve Holm hates the Dodgers.

Scott Ostler dreams wistfully of Manny on the Giants. Get over it! Remember when the 49ers brought Kurt Warner to town and he signed the next day with the Cardinals? That's waht Manny wanted the Giants to be. Stop all the bitching about Manny. Call up Ralph on KNBR and talk about how good the Giants would have been if they'd signed Vlad five years ago. How about we focus on kicking the Dodgers ass? Good.

Did Brian Wilson stay out too late Saturday night?

Baggs says there may be a roster move before the game tonight against the Dodgers. Also, Tim Alderson and Madison Bumgarner may be making their last starts for the San Jose Giants. Me and RT went and saw Alderson pitch last week and he was pretty impressive.

Someone let me know if there's any A's news.
