Who's Hot / Who's Not

WHO'S Hot

A's

Bay Area beauties. Three straight wins at Yankee Stadium put Oakland back where it belongs: in the thick of the AL West race. Starter Esteban Loaiza (above) won his first game off the DL, closer Huston Street saved four games in four days, and, through Sunday, Oakland was 8-2 in June. Outfielder Milton Bradley to the San Francisco Chronicle: "We're riding high."

Hopkinses

Bernard (right) put a whuppin' on Rocky VI star Antonio Tarver to win the light heavyweight title, then said he'd retire on that high note. And his nephew, Demetrius, keeps living up to the family name: He K.O.'d Michael Warrick to go to 24-0-1.

Navy Lacrosse

Talk about a hot draw. The team led the nation in average attendance (4,321), and playing for the Midshipmen must look good on a r�sum�: Ex-attackman Perry Taylor got hired as part of Britney Spears's security detail. (Taylor's at left with her baby, Sean.)

Millwood on the Road

Rangers righty Kevin likes to roam: He was 5-0 with a 2.44 ERA away from Arlington.
