Five reasons to watch the Clipper / Kings game tonight
The two surprise teams in the NBA play tonight and if you are just a partial NBA fan, a Laker fan, already tired of holiday programming, or simply miss baseball, this would be a great game to watch for those who simply want to catch a glimpse of the best NBA team in Los Angeles. …
Is Five Thirty Eight going to join the Clipper bandwagon?
The “Clamp City” Clippers are the surprise team in the NBA and enter play tonight in first place in the Western Conference. At the start of the season I was more optimistic than most, but considering the tough early schedule and the injury history of Danilo, I was hoping for a .500 winning percentage, not …
Countdown to 60 starts this week
My twitter profile simply says “Baseball, Clippers, movies, life over 50.”. In a few days, I’ll update that to life over 60. As far as sports go, the first 30 years have been nothing like the last 30 years. By the time I was thirty in 1988, the Dodgers had won World Championships in 1959, …

It was only later I would learn of the involvement of a foreign nation in helping sow the sentiment via social media that helped elect the 45th President. But, all that Foreign …
Three hurrahs for Kershaw and Dodgers
I had hoped those who were predicting 5/150 or even 4/120 were crazy and that if the Dodgers and Clayton Kershaw came to an understanding it would be a reasonable one, but never did I imagine that the extension would be this reasonable. Signing Clayton Kershaw for 3/93 without an opt-out tells me several things: …
Cherry picking Ryu’s Postseason like a seasoned Kershaw postseason apologist.
Grant Brisbee just published his top 50 FA list and while he’s normally the funniest baseball writer in town, this pitch was basically straightforward. He ranked Ryu as the 22nd best Free Agent and I won’t quibble as I have zero ideas how I would rank the free agents but it was his comment about …
