Morning Head: It's must-win night in the D

The Derelict would like to pass on congratulations to Rose Huntington-Whiteley, who was named No. 1 on the Maxim Hot 100. There's a lot of suck on that list, in terms of where people are ranked. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, I suppose, but what kind of drugs does the beholder have to be on to place 2011 Britney Spears in their top 25? (And yes, I will be bookmarking this list and going back to it to grab Morning Head girls for the foreseeable future).

The Red Wings must win tonight in Game 3 of their series against the San Jose Sharks. It's that simple. And, as Michael Rosenberg notes, finding a way to win is that simple, too. The Wings simply have to play better. They're a puck possession team that's getting destroyed when it comes to puck possession, which is bad. This team cannot win this series if it continues to spend so much time chasing the San Jose Sharks around their zone, no matter who well Jimmy Howard plays. The scary thing is, I'm not sure that's something the Wings can really change. (Freep)

How do you end a seven-game losing streak? Pitch Brad Penny against CC Sabathia, of course. The Tigers finally won a game last night, beating the Yankees 4-2. Expect over the next few days to hear your Tigers-apologist friends to tell you how awesome Scott Sizemore is, and how he should have been up on the team all season (this may be right, but at the beginning of the season, these same fans were telling you that keeping Rhymes on the squad was the clear choice). My point in all of this is, baseball is a crazy game. (DetNews)

Speaking of crazy games, Francisco Liriano, who was stuck on most fantasy benches and looked to be making his way into the Twins bullpen, threw a no-hitter last night against the Chicago White Sox. It may have been the least impressive no-hitter of all-time, rivaling what Edwin Jackson did a year ago. Liriano walked six and struck out two. He wouldn't even be a candidate for Athlete of the Week in our paper, is what I'm saying. (Yahoo)

I'll repeat what I wrote yesterday: The Heat are going to win the NBA title, and I hate myself for coming to this realization. Miami went up 2-0 on Boston last night, at times making the oldie-pants Celtics look old. Oklahoma City, meanwhile, evened its series with the Memphis Grizzlies. I didn't watch that game. (The Big Lead)

Ryan Kesler is the exactly the type of player that you find a way to hate when he's on the other team. He's gritty, he makes borderline illegal plays and gets away with them, and he produces. But since he did all of that for Team USA in the Olympics, I can't hate him. Nashville fans might disagree with me today, as they just watched Kesler dominate their team and give the Canucks a 2-1 lead in their series. Of course, Vancouver really won last night because of this, which is pretty damn creative. Although, you'll find yourself wishing they never went away from the original shot of the singer. Also, the Capitals are one game away from being swept by the Lightning. This is kind of shocking. (Puck Daddy)

Somebody did this. I'm not sure whether to be really excited about it or sad. (E!)
