• Alexander: For Dodgers, it’s not too early to rediscover discipline at plate

    LOS ANGELES—For all we know, it’s a question that goes back to Abner Doubleday: When is it no longer early in a baseball season? Or, to put it another way, when is it all right — advisable, even — to panic?
    Talk to fans, and they’ll say right now.

  • Expansion Golden Knights have shown character

    LOS ANGELES — High-character guys. It’s a phrase often used by executives of major sports franchises when discussing the type of players they like on their teams.
    Kings general manager Rob Blake referred to defenseman Dion Phaneuf and forward Nate Thompson in that light when he acquired them in February from Ottawa.
    Vegas forward James Neal believes that’s what his team is made of, and that all started with the expansion draft before the Golden Knights’ inaugural season.

    Over the past decade, the old urban model, long favored by most media and academia, became the harbinger of the new city. We were going back to the 19th century, with rising dense urban cores, greater densities and thriving transit systems.
