• Costa Mesa gets ‘free’ money to worsen traffic

  17-09-2024 06:55 via ocregister.com
  
  Even as Californians’ taxes rise to fund infrastructure projects, the traffic-congestion problem continues to worsen. In many cases, the blame lies not just on governmental waste. Often, this is by design. For instance, after state lawmakers in 2017 raised the gas tax to address the transportation backlog, localities spent the extra money on “road diets” that eliminated road lanes to promote transit use.
  We call it the Congestion Lobby – groups of government planners, bic

• Angels’ Reid Detmers allows 7 runs to 115-loss White Sox

  17-09-2024 06:21 via ocregister.com
  
  ANAHEIM — After two encouraging starts – against contenders – Reid Detmers turned in a dud against a historically awful team.
  The Angels left-hander gave up seven runs in an 8-4 loss to the Chicago White Sox, who have lost 115 games.
  The White Sox might be just six losses away from breaking the dubious record set by the 1962 New York Mets, but they still hammered Detmers. He gave up three runs in the first – on two homers – and then three more in the second.

  Saquon Barkley dropped a short pass that stopped the clock with 1:46 left and forced the Eagles to settle for a field goal instead of a game-sealing first down. That was plenty of time for Cousins – especially against a

  ATLANTA — When they signed Yoshinobu Yamamoto last winter, the Dodgers made a commitment to keeping the 26-year-old right-hander on a schedule as close as possible to what he was used to in Japan.
  That meant giving him at least five days off before every start. It didn’t prevent him from getting injured and spending three months on the sidelines with a strained rotator cuff.
