Let’s rant about Bond, Jonathan Bond. Imagine becoming the only Major League Soccer goalie to block more than 10 shots on target in two separate occasions. You pour your heart and soul into the game. Another day, another 90 minutes in the office doing a damn great job. Only to have your offense take 8 shots and only 2 on …
James Outman should start the season as the Opening Day center fielder. Let the kid play.

My first year as a high school girls soccer coach is ending on a sour note. Our CIF run came to an end after we lost our quarter final game–1 to 0. My team fought with heart and hustle till the end of the final whistle. We played that game as the away team and the home court advantage was …
Baseball is a game of creatures of habit. Sometimes those habits transform into superstitions. Superstitions come in different forms. A batter fidgeting with his gloves before nearing the batter’s box. A pitcher adjusting his cap before unloading.
