  SAN FRANCISCO – After using all eight of their relievers in Saturday’s extra-innings game (and half of them the night before as well), the Dodgers needed James Paxton to be good Sunday.
  He was not.
  The Dodgers starter was hammered for four innings by the San Francisco Giants, sticking around that long only to save the bullpen from another long day. The Giants scored in each of Paxton’s four innings including five times in the fourth, on their way to a 10-4 victory over the Dodg

• Dodgers’ Dave Roberts ready to give Chris Taylor ‘runway’ to more playing time

  SAN FRANCISCO –The lack of production at third base since Max Muncy went out with an oblique injury could be creating “a runway” for Chris Taylor to get more playing time.
  Taylor made his third start of the season at third base Sunday and Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said he might be there more often until Muncy returns some time after the All-Star break. After starting the season in a deep slump, Taylor was hitting just .095 as late as June 7. In nine games before Sunday, thou

  When Juanita Tsu was just 5 years old, she knew she wanted to play the piano. While her father did not give her credit for perseverance at the time, she stuck to her keys, so to speak.
  “He was afraid I was too young, that I’d just quit,” Tsu recalled. “But two years later I finally began piano lessons, and when I got older, when he saw how serious I was, he bought me a piano of my own.”

  Assemblyman Reggie Jones-Sawyer wants the state of California to apologize for slavery, despite the fact that, as he writes, California was never a slave state.
  It’s not the first time I’ve heard this sort of insanity – like California city councils that open their meetings not with the Pledge of Allegiance but with an apology for living on “stolen” Native American land. These speakers have no intention of leaving the land, and less interest in returning what they s

  The 25-foot iron gate at the entrance to the old cemetery was locked. I hadn’t counted on that. I had always planned to arrive early, to be the first one there, so I could find the ideal spot to watch the day’s drama unfold.
  But I was too early. Apparently, even the dead kept business hours. That’s how I ended up parked outside a graveyard sipping convenience store coffee and watching the sun rise over the headstones.

• Is any top-ranking California Democrat actually concerned with governing California?

  30-06-2024 16:00 via ocregister.com
  
  I hope everyone cares about Congressional races in places like Modesto, Irvine and Hanford because those races are relegating important issues like rampant retail theft and the fentanyl epidemic to an afterthought.
  You see, there’s an election coming up and regaining control of the U.S. House of Representatives is important to California Democrats, who are doing everything they can to suppress turnout from voters who might like to see meaningful reform on important issues: Republicans.

  I like having the gate closed. It’s like tying a bow on a package. It completes the ambiance.
