The Charlotte Bobcats finished the regular season last night with a 105-98 win over the Cleveland Cavaliers. It was the 3rd win in a row for Charlotte. The Bobcats finish at 21-61 on the season in 14th place in the Eastern Conference and 4th in the Southeast Division, 1 game ahead of the Orlando Magic.

The Cleveland Indians dropped another game to the Red Sox at Progressive field last night. Justin masterson gave up 5 runs before Nick Swisher's bomb to dead center scored 2 runs. Jason Giambi, the very next batter, added a deep ball over the right field wall to make the score 5-3. Later a Sac bunt and throwing error would score a runner from 3rd making the final 6-3 Boston.This was Masterson's first loss on the season. There is one game left in the series, tonight at 7:05. Zach McAllister (1-1 2.19 ERA) will try to quiet the Boston bats for the Tribe and Jon Lester (2-0 1.42 ERA) gets the start for the Sox. I, for one, will be gald to see the Red Sox leave town. Up next for the Tribe is a 3 game road series in Houston, then a trip to the South Side of Chicago for 3 games against the White Sox. The Indians are 5-8 (.385) and in last place in the AL Central, 3.5 games behind the division leading Tigers.

The Carolina Hurricanes lost to the Ottowa Senators 3-2 on Tuesday night at Scotiabank Place. Justin Faulk scored in the second and Eric Staal added a power play goal in the 3rd. The game was FULL of fights after Jared Cowen leveled Jeff Skiner with a blow to the head. Chad LaRose went after Cowen and it was on after that. Ten 5 minute majors were handed out during the game between the 2 teams. Tonight the Canes are in Winnipeg to take on the Jets in the MTS Center. It is the final meeting of the Souteast division rivals. The Hurricanes are in 14th place in the Eastern Conference and 4th in the Southeast division at 17-23-2 with 36 points, 10 points behind the NY Rangers who hold the 8th playoff spot. The Iets are in 9th place in the East with 46 points  and 1 game behind the Rangers. They are in 2nd place in the Southeast, trailing washington by 4 points. Puck drops at 8pm.
