Who's Hot / Who's Not

WHO'S Hot

Tonys
As they were giving 'em out on Broadway and Tony S got through The Sopranos finale entirely unwhacked, the Spurs ' Tony Parker went for 30 in an NBA Finals victory (page 46). Earlier in the day, Royals shortstop Tony Pe�a Jr. (above) blasted his first home run in 235 at bats. Said Pe�a , "I got lucky."

Buehrle
Rhymes with early—and White Sox starter Mark (right), the fastest-working man in throw business (his games average 2:44 this season), won his 100th career game on Sunday. Chicago 's 8--4 in Buehrle's starts, sweet grist for a guy bound for free agency.

Misty and Kerri
Up to their old tricks: Beach volleyball goddesses Misty May-Treanor (left) and Kerri Walsh won their seventh straight AVP title. More nice news for Misty: Her husband, Marlins backup catcher Matt Treanor , is hitting .313 in his last four games.

Anteaters
A ninth-inning win over Wichita State sent UC Irvine to its first college baseball World Series. Said Anteaters first baseman Taylor Holiday, to Wichita 's Hutchinson News, "That's complete euphoria."

WHO'S Not

Pirates
As the latest Pirates of the Caribbean got submerged at the box office by Ocean's 13, Pittsburgh 's baseballers sank—losing three to the Yankees. The Bucs made costly errors in one game; ex-Yank Shawn Chacon (above) got rocked in another; and, said manager Jim Tracy , "We've obviously got some work to do."

Sowers
Rhymes with showers, where the Indians ballyhooed sophomore starter Jeremy has been sent often this year while going 1--6 with a 6.93 ERA. At least he won't get the hook from Cleveland manager Eric Wedge this week: Sowers got sent to Triple A.

Daly and Sherrie
Big John Daly , on the leader board on Thursday, imploded to finish 79th at the Stanford St. Jude Championship . Oh, he also alleged that wife Sherrie—who spent five months in prison last year (money laundering)—attacked him with a steak knife. She hadn't commented at press time.

Gamecocks
A pair of late-inning collapses to North Carolina means South Carolina fell one win shy of the World Series. Said Gamecocks pitcher Matt Cisco, "It makes it that much worse when you're that close."
