If you didn't have any plans for tonight before you started reading this sentence, now you do. Here are the best sports on television tonight, and where and when you can watch them. All times Eastern. Follow the links to learn more about each of the teams listed below. Let's get right into it.
↵MLB Baseball:
↵Nationals Vs. Padres, 10, MASN: The Nationals didn't look very good in a day tilt against the Giants yesterday, and they've been on the left coast for about a week now, so it's hard to blame jet-lag. The Padres are playing surprisingly well recently, and should get a boost from the debut of their highly touted rookie Anthony Rizzo. Let's hope they can overcome.
↵2011 NBA Finals:
↵Heat Vs. Mavericks, 9, ABC: "Looks like there is a vacancy in the Miami Heat starting lineup because LeBron James has checked out!" - is what I would have said if I was Jeff Van Gundy the other night. I wouldn't expect that joke to be available tonight however, because I think LeBron is going to have himself a big ballgame in "retaliation."
