Any true Angels fan should be absolutely furious watching tonight's Dodgers game.

Loved the radio comment by Trent Rush about the Big West Conference being a pitchers' league.

The Angels. Where's it's almost impossible to say anything without the word IF.

Great to see the one and only Bill Dwyre in the L.A. Times Sports section writing about the Rose Bowl. But the paper incorrectly calls him a former sports editor. He is THE former sports editor.

Watched a little of the Los Angeles Lakers win last night. Think I've aged out of the NBA. So much standing around on offense, no rim protection on defense (at least when Lakers are "defending"). How can such great athletes be so downright boring?

How’d the Los Angeles Angels fanfest go?

Zach Charbonnet also here tonight at Pauley Pavilion.

Watched a little of the Netflix baseball disaster last night. Maybe it will get better, but I kept thinking of those "experiments" when a baseball or football game would be televised with crowd noise and old-school graphics. I really don't need more voices telling the obvious.
