HOT: Martin Maldanado

Brewers catcher hit the cover off a ball on an infield single to third. Roy Hobbs tweets: infield single, SMH.

HOT: Clint Dempsey

Participated in eight straight Sounders goals through Sunday. That sound you hear is Jürgen Klinsmann exhaling.

HOT: Blue Jackets

After 14 years got their first playoff win. Hope to claim a series before Gary Bettman retires.

NOT: Alex Gonzalez

Tigers cut their starting shortstop, who was batting .167. Will they call Stephen Drew now?

NOT: Mike Woodson

Relieved of duties as coach of the Knicks. After last season he's likely just relieved.
