• Dodgers ‘closing the door’ on Clayton Kershaw pitching in 2024

  06-10-2024 02:12 via ocregister.com
  
  LOS ANGELES — The Dodgers are “closing the door” on Clayton Kershaw pitching again in 2024, Dave Roberts said Saturday.
  Kershaw has not pitched since leaving his Aug. 30 start in Arizona with pain in his left foot. The pain is being caused by bone spurs and ligament damage. But Kershaw had been continuing to throw, trying orthotics and different cleats to try to relieve the pain. He even threw an approximately 80-pitch bullpen session during the Dodgers’ series in Miami n

  PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Mark Vientos and Brandon Nimmo keyed another late comeback in New York’s electric run through the National League playoffs, helping the Mets break through for five runs in the eighth inning against a pair of All-Star relievers as they rallied past the Philadelphia Phillies 6-2 on Saturday in Game 1 of their Division Series.

  MINNEAPOLIS — It wasn’t long into Easton Mascarenas-Arnold’s time at USC before he and Mason Cobb started calling themselves yin-yang, the two-man balance at linebacker at the heart of the Trojans’ defense.
  If Cobb was down, Mascarenas-Arnold could pick him up. Vice versa. Two complementary spirits. They have found stability, though, in part next to the emergence of a third force, the 6-foot-6 Eric Gentry bringing fire and versatility and production unmatched across most

• Swanson: Does a Hollywood ending await Dodgers’ Jack Flaherty?

  Jack Flaherty’s story has so many elements of a classic coming-of-age sports movie that you almost feel like you should be able to predict the ending.
  The best player on the “Sandlot” growing up to play for the Dodgers? It being set in the Valley, a la “Karate Kid” and “Bad News Bears”? The backdrop being a famously competitive Little League that produced TV stars like Tom Selleck and All-Stars like Jack McDowell, that was dominated for a spell by a pitc

• The vice presidential debate was a sad reflection of how low our standards have fallen

  05-10-2024 23:55 via ocregister.com
  
  If you tuned in to Tuesday’s vice presidential debate, you are now deeply familiar with the life stories of Senator JD Vance and Governor Tim Walz. It was as if they could not help but lull us to sleep with long and boring prologues about their childhoods before answering any question. By the time they got around to saying anything even remotely relevant, we had already forgotten what was asked.
  The problem with Vance is that he’s an unprincipled yes-man whose sole purpose is to furt

• Drug warriors are scamming us with Prop. 36 — and they have been lying to us for decades

  05-10-2024 23:39 via ocregister.com
  
  This November, California voters will decide whether they want people convicted of third-time drug possession and petty theft to be treated as felons and sent to state prison for years. Opponents of Prop. 36 have suggested this cruel and counterproductive ballot measure represents a “return” to the war on drugs that most Americans now oppose. 
  In fact, the war on drugs never ended. Worse still, the interests behind the war on drugs—who are now pushing Prop. 36—have k

• California’s financial state deteriorates as officials slack on making financial data public

  05-10-2024 23:20 via ocregister.com
  
  There are two ways California could use some truth in accounting. First, with the extraordinary level of waste, fraud and abuse in this state, it is indisputable we need more fiscal discipline and oversight.  Second, and in furtherance of the first, Truth in Accounting (TIA) is a highly reputable think tank that analyzes government financial reports. Its conclusions about California are disturbing to say the least.

  Finally unshackled from the constraints of having to play governor while running a shadow campaign for president, Gov. Gavin Newsom is now able to drop the pretense and be himself.
  He’s letting Gavin be Gavin and it’s exactly what we would have expected.
  Newsom had a plan to reduce gas prices, which experts say will actually increase gas prices, and instead of introducing it during the legislative session that had been going on since January, he waited until lawmakers were headed hom

  CLEVELAND — Lane Thomas hit a three-run homer in a five-run outburst before Detroit got an out, and the Cleveland Guardians unleashed their lights-out bullpen to complete a four-hitter in a 7-0 win over the Tigers in an AL Division Series opener Saturday.
  Thomas’ shot – on his first career postseason swing – helped the Guardians cool off the Tigers, who stormed into the playoffs with a second-half surge before sweeping AL West champion Houston in the wild-card round.

• Rams try to get season back on track before bye week

  LOS ANGELES — Perhaps it’s fitting that the Rams find themselves facing the Green Bay Packers this week.
  Last season, the Packers game represented the Rams’ rock bottom. The 20-3 road loss in which the offense failed to score a touchdown or surpass 200 total yards was the second straight “humbling” performance in head coach Sean McVay’s estimation, and dropped the Rams to 3-6. They spent the bye week in reflection, and were able to turn their season around, wi

  The UCLA football team traveled all the way to Happy Valley in Pennsylvania, with many expecting it to be a sad state of affairs.
  And while the Bruins did lose 27-11 to No. 7 Penn State on Saturday to remain winless in the Big Ten Conference, they can come away with some positives.
  UCLA (1-4, 0-3 Big Ten) came in as a four-touchdown underdog against the undefeated Nittany Lions – and that was before it was announced before game time that redshirt sophomore Justyn Martin would make his firs

  Meer threw a touchdown pass to Cade Fegel who also had an 80-yard kick return for a touchdown. Ryker Budde and Glenn Baranoski had touchdown runs for

• Can the Fed heat up Southern California’s chilly real estate job market?

  05-10-2024 17:08 via ocregister.com
  
  Southern California real estate hiring slowed by two-thirds in a year where property-related businesses were throttled by the Federal Reserve’s tight-money policy.
  My trusty spreadsheet, reviewing state employment stats for August, found 921,800 property-linked workers in Los Angeles, Orange, Riverside, San Bernardino and San Diego counties. While local real estate employment grew locally by 9,500 positions in the last 12 months – that’s 65% slower than the 27,000-a-year growth

  But what will that child or that seedling turn out to be? There is an ongoing controversy whether nature or nurture plays a more prominent role in personality development. In other words, is it the genetic makeup of the child (nature) or the way a child is raised (nurture) that determines their character?
