Who's Hot / Who's Not

WHO'S Hot

Jos� Castillo

No way, Jos�! Pirates second baseman had two homers through May 25. Then the Venezuelan native went on a tear, ripping six bombs in five games and boosting average to .305. All of Castillo 's dingers came in wins for the suddenly smokin' Bucs.

Lopez & Lopez

Orioles righty Rodrigo Lopez was winless in nine straight starts until backup catcher Javy Lopez became his permanent backstop on May 25. In a win over the Yankees on Sunday, Rodrigo (right) went to 3-0 with his new batterymate, who smacked two homers.

Marion Jones

Once dogged by doping controversy, Jones (left) is back, taking 100-meter title at Reebok Grand Prix, her third win in three tries this year. She beat world champ Lauryn Williams in 11.06 seconds.

American Airlines

Something special's in the air all right. With Mavericks and Heat meeting in Finals, series will shuttle between Dallas 's American Airlines Center and Miami 's AmericanAirlines Arena . Does NBA stand for Nothing But American?
