Royals: Kauffman Stadium renovation is on time, budget
The Kansas City Royals said the $250 million renovation of Kauffman Stadium is on time and on budget. About 90 percent of the renovation project will be completed by the 2009 home opener, with the remainder completed by the 2009 All-Star break, the Royals said in a release late Friday. Bob Rice, Royals vice president of ball park operations and development, said in the release that the cost of the stadium overhaul will be very close to the $250 million budget. "We're extremely close and pleased the way things have been going," Rice said in the release. "I think the biggest thing this year is flexibility. Opening Day will possess a whole lot of challenges." Rice said five major projects are scheduled for completion before the 2008 home opener on April 8.

PSN Roundup Review by Dan Whitehead
Like an enormous bag of anvils sliding down a hill, the PlayStation Store is starting to gather momentum - well, at least as far as retro downloads are concerned. After a sporadic few months of drip-drip PSone offerings, things seem to be settling into something resembling a regular service, with another trio of worthy games showing their adorable faces this week, all at GBP 3.49. Motorhead Overlooked by many when it was released in 1998, this semi-futuristic racer from Digital Illusions (them what did Pinball Dreams and Battlefield) is actually something of an unsung classic. Inevitably overshadowed by the more hyped blockbuster racers of the time, you'd be wise to splash a few quid in its direction while you wait for Rage Racer or Gran Turismo to show up on the Store. Ten cars and eight tracks await you, all carrying a rather downbeat dystopian flavour.
In the end, it's about who ran out of juice
Just take a moment to drink in LeBron James' line: 31 points on 10-of-20 shooting, a career-high 19 rebounds, eight assists, four steals, three blocked shots and eight turnovers. According to the number crunchers at Elias Sports Bureau, no one in the recorded history of the NBA has had 31 points, 19 rebounds, four steals and three blocks in the same game. James also won a jump ball at the end of regulation that looked for a moment like it might win the Cavs the game, and it certainly kept them in it. More on that in a moment, but understand that's not even recorded in the box score. Anderson Varejao, playing with his entire left leg wrapped in padding and support hose after suffering knee and Achilles injuries Wednesday, had a season-high 16 points and tied a career high with 18 rebounds.
