WHITE SOX righthander Gavin Floyd took a no-hitter into the ninth inning against the Twins this week. Last month, he had a no-no going into the eighth against Detroit. And you just know that's causing some indigestion down at One Citizens Bank Way.

Rich Hofmann: Coburn has to step up without Timonen in Flyers lineup
2:20am
-
PITTSBURGH - Sitting here in a hotel room, trying to make sense of how the Flyers are going to survive without Kimmo Timonen, thinking back to a conversation the other day with Braydon Coburn, the 23-year-old revelation who has been Timonen's defense partner throughout the playoffs.

Elmer Smith: Philly's no L.A.

THE PHONE CALLS started coming in within hours of the by-now nationally televised beating of three suspects by Philadelphia police.

Clout: O say, you can see Timmy Kelly on CBS 3

LITTLE Timmy Kelly isn't so
little anymore.
The blind Bustleton kid with cerebral palsy who can sing his heart out (and has, for the Philadelphia Eagles, for President Bush, for Gov. Rendell) has been a nice little local story since 2001 when he sang a rousing "Star-Spangled Banner" at the first home game of the Camden Riversharks as a tiny 8-year-old.

Poker Guy: Good instinct is the ultimate trump
2:20am
-
THE BETTING of a hand and the cards that hit the board might tell you one thing, but your instincts might tell you another, and a lot of the top players go with their gut. It is what allows a top pro such as Brad Booth to call down an opponent's big bet with only a king-high.

Sam Donnellon: Playoff success is icing on cake for Flyers

STORIES ALREADY abound about John Stevens, the man and the coach. Switching the lockers around during that March slump got a lot of attention, and the other day there was talk about an exercise in which the players were assigned scouting duties for the upcoming Pittsburgh series.

John Smallwood: Sixers becoming team with strong identity
05/08/2008
-
FROM THE MOMENT he took the job, Sixers president/general manager Ed Stefanski envisioned the type of team he wanted.
Sticking to the building plan was one of the primary reasons he traded veteran shooter and popular teammate Kyle Korver to the Utah Jazz.

Michael Smerconish: Justice was served by 'Officer X'
05/08/2008
-
AS FAR AS I'm concerned, there's a mystery hero in town: The Philadelphia police officer who did society a favor by putting down Howard Cain on Saturday, minutes after Cain executed Sgt. Stephen Liczbinski. In the process, that cop brought about a just ending for Cain, something the criminal-justice system would never have done.

Jim Coleman: She's mulling marinating: Her hubby needs a salt-free blend
05/08/2008
-
Q: Do marinades have to have salt? My husband needs to reduce his sodium, so if you have any recipes for salt-free marinades I'd love to have them. Also, can you safely baste with your marinade while your food is cooking? And one more thing (to settle a debate): Is there a culture that invented marinades? I really enjoy your show and recipes, so keep up the good work.

Dan Gross: Alycia Lane party was a no-no?
05/08/2008
-
RUMOR HAS it that CBS 3 management was none too pleased with some on-air talent attending a Saturday-night party at the Borgata in Atlantic City that Alycia Lane organized as a surprise for her boyfriend, Q102's Chris Booker, to celebrate his 37th birthday. Management, of course, is embroiled in a lawsuit with Lane, who has sued the station for alleged wrongful termination, and is seeking unspecified damages.

Ellen Gray: Film about deaf parents inspiring

HEAR AND NOW. 8 tonight, HBO.
IF I COULD say one thing to documentary filmmakers everywhere, it would be this: If you're going to make a film - not just a home movie - about your family, please make sure they're worth introducing to strangers.

Rich Hofmann: Holmgren's steady hand helped shape Flyers' success
05/07/2008
-
FOR ALL OF the years and all of the jobs he has had with the Flyers - assistant and head coach, assistant and interim and plain-old general manager, and a couple of titles in between - Paul Holmgren has always been understated and plain-spoken at the same time. He is the kind of guy who has never led people wrong.

THE GIZMO: Greetings from Rock 'n' Roll Paradise.
Reading has its discount shopping outlets, Hershey its Chocolate World attraction. But for dedicated fans of pop music and high-tech stage production, the places you'd really want to visit (if only you could) would be the factories buzzing in another little Lancaster County town.

Dan Gross: Has Star found a Sexy Single?
05/07/2008
-
NEWLY SINGLE Star Jones was photographed having dinner Monday night in New York with former Daily News Sexy Single Marc Lamont Hill. The Temple professor is also a regular political analyst on Fox News. The pictures are at bossip.com. Doesn't look romantic to us, but, hey, you never know.

Ellen Gray: 'Masters' mines Marvin Gaye's painful life

AMERICAN MASTERS. 9 tonight, Channel 12.
I DON'T KNOW if anyone keeps stats on how many of those profiled by PBS' "American Masters" had troubled relationships with their fathers, but I'm guessing just one would be recorded as having lost his life in the conflict.
