Day: August 1, 2022

The calendar shows that summer has another seven weeks remaining, but the high school football season officially begins this week. Many Orange County teams are scheduled to hold their first practices of the 2022 season Monday. Those are teams that will play their season-opening games Aug. 18-20, which is called Week 0 by the CIF…

MIAMI — Buck Showalter, as usual, was in good spirits prior to Saturday’s game. Part of it might be a return to his home state of Florida, or the generally relaxed nature that most players and coaches exude on the road, but the main reason is definitely how well his team has been playing. On…

When I was growing up in Orange County, there was an annual GLASS Conference that had a night for attenders and guests at Disneyland. As a teenager in the early 1970s, spending that evening with friends at “the happiest place on Earth” was a big deal, even for us locals. I bring it up as…

WASHINGTON, D.C. — The Mets are in the nation’s capital for three games with the Washington Nationals. As of Monday morning, Juan Soto is still here too. From a sheer convenience standpoint, there’d be no better time for Billy Eppler to pounce. Dealing for Soto would give the Mets that one more bat they’ve been…

Quashan Lockett was in the car headed home on June 30 when a news alert flashed on his phone that USC and UCLA were joining the Big Ten. His initial reaction mirrored that of so many others, but with a twist: Just two weeks earlier, Lockett had been hired by the Pac-12 conference office for…

DEL MAR — Trainer Michael McCarthy heaved a sigh of relief after longshot Master Piece withstood a lengthy trainer’s objection and won the $250,000 Grade II Eddie Read Stakes on Sunday at Del Mar.

Q: So I thought Omer Yurtseven’s play during the regular season was impressive. So much so I had thought he had at least deserved some playing time against the 76ers and Boston, especially during the Celtics series when it felt like we needed a little extra. But, he didn’t get a shot. Why didn’t he…

There is a difference when it comes to the latest messaging from the Miami Heat. Yes, they like their roster, don’t feel compelled to make another move this offseason, don’t feel stymied or squeezed by what is playing out with the Brooklyn Nets regarding Kevin Durant or perhaps even how the Danny Ainge Show regarding…

The Orioles have played themselves into an interesting position. With 102 games behind them and the trade deadline looming Tuesday, there isn’t a clear approach for executive vice president and general manager Mike Elias to follow as there has been in previous years. With 51 wins, Baltimore is one win away from matching its 2021…
