Chandra Wilson has Katherine Heigl's ungrateful back

Last month, Katherine Heigl, who won an Emmy for her work last year on "Grey's Anatomy," issued a curious statement saying, in effect, she wasn't going to put herself up for nomination again this year because, well, the material her writers gave her this year kind of stank.

Braves 9, Dodgers 3

Not much to say about this one, except that the Dodgers still can't beat top-of-the-line starting pitchers -- Jair Jurrjens stuffed them for a run on five hits over six innings -- and Chad Billingsley no-hit the Braves through four, ran into trouble in the fifth and then couldn't stop the bleeding. Dodgers fall to 44-46 and back into second  ...
