It was decades ago, in a sunny garden at the Hotel Ritz in the heart of Spain’s capital city of Madrid, that I first downed the blood-red libation.

• Fryer: Mater Dei football shows progress — in some areas — in debut under Raul Lara

  23-08-2024 08:46 via ocregister.com
  
  SANTA ANA – The change started at the top.
  Raul Lara did not wear his cap backwards.
  Wearing his Mater Dei cap backwards was a regular part of the game-day style for Frank McManus, Lara’s predecessor as Mater Dei’s football coach.
  It was a small thing that irked some of the older-school Mater Dei faithful, and certainly was not among the bigger things that convinced the Mater Dei administration to limit McManus to one season as Mater Dei’s head coach, even with all of the

  TORONTO — The Angels tried to avoid Griffin Canning’s early-inning trouble by having him work behind an opener.
  From Canning’s perspective, it worked. But for the Angels, it still didn’t.

  The damage was done before Canning threw his first pitch in an outing of six scoreless innings.
