You stop that right now: The Wild finally won on the road again. Marian Gaborik led the way with two goals in a 5-2 victory at Vancouver. It was Minnesota’s first road victory since July 14, 1912 this past Nov. 16.

What’s in your wallet? One day after the Beckham megadeal with the L.A. Galaxy, two more hot rumors are making Major League Soccer strangely relevant. Edgar Davids could be making the move to FC Dallas, while others are speculating stars such as Ronaldo, Luis Figo and Zinedine Zidane, the last of whom you might remember from this here incident, could be next to cross the pond. And yes, we were tipped off to these things by soccer lover La Velle E. Neal III, whose e-mail, we assure you, was full of question marks and exclamation points. Help us all if he ever learns to use emoticons.

Take me out to the fat game: The Dodgers have announced they are turning their right field pavilion seats into an all-you-can-eat section. A $35 advance ticket will buy you all the hot dogs, nachos, popcorn, peanuts, etc., that your heart could want — or, possibly, that your heart could handle. But you still have to buy your own beer. Whoever eats the least has to charge all the defibrillators at the end of the night.
