Curlin takes the Preakness

SPECIAL TO ESPN.COM

May 21, 2007 | Dick's Stock Watch provides a fast-glance review of the past week in the world of sports, charting whose stock is up and whose is down.

STOCK UP
• The Spurs, Jazz, Pistons and Cavaliers made the NBA's version of the Final Four.

• Curlin upset Street Sense to win the Preakness. No Triple Crown once again, meaning it will 30 years since the last one, Affirmed, when horses go for it next year.

• The Ottawa Senators made the Stanley Cup finals by eliminating the Buffalo Sabres.

• Roger Federer snapped Rafael Nadal's clay court match win streak at 81, beating Nadal in Hamburg.

• Middleweight Kelly Pavlik looked impressive in his win over Edison Miranda Saturday night.

STOCK DOWN
• Bengals A. J. Nicholson arrested on an assault charge.

• Barry Zito, a big free agent signing by the Giants, is now 3-5 with a 5.13 ERA

• The defending World Series champion St. Louis Cardinals have lost five straight games and are 16-25 overall.

• The Yankees are double figures behind the Red Sox in the AL East. Big series this week.
