    Clayton Kershaw could be back in Dodgers’ rotation soon
    LOS ANGELES – Clayton Kershaw moved closer to rejoining the Dodgers’ starting rotation Saturday.
    On the DL since May 2 with biceps tendinitis, Kershaw threw approximately 60 pitches over four simulated innings, facing Cody Bellinger, Chase Utley, Kiké Hernandez and Austin Barnes. Kershaw said he “felt good” during the 60-pitch test and “should be” ready to pitch in a game five days from now.

    Trump’s opposition to unrestricted globalism might prove a historical necessity
    Let’s stipulate that Donald Trump is a vulgar, ignorant and often reckless narcissist. Yet he also may well prove a historical necessity, someone who, intentionally or not, has rendered apart a bi-partisan consensus well past its usefulness.
    Religious people like to say that God works in mysterious ways. The same can be said about history. Bad players can have important long-term effects. With their mad ambitions Napoleon and Hitler established a continental idea now reflected in the more

    Monsters, animals and barbarians at the White House gate
    Donald Trump isn’t the only president I’ve heard call another human being an “animal.” Richard Nixon was the first, although he wasn’t alluding to murderous gang members from a foreign country. Nixon was talking about his predecessor in office, Lyndon Baines Johnson.
    To be fair, Nixon was out of the White House then. Also, he didn’t call Johnson an animal so much as tell CNN interviewer Patrick Buchanan that Robert Caro’s new biography made LBJ look that

    Last Tango in Cleveland, at least for the moment.
    We don’t know if Friday’s Game 6 victory over Boston was LeBron James’ last game in Cleveland as a Cavalier. He’s often at this point after a career of making sure he, not others, gets to choose.
    As usual, he hasn’t said if he wants to leave, where he wants to go or why he wants to go there. If it never stops anyone from guessing, he has unfailingly surprised all.

    NEW YORK — Mike Scioscia’s optimistic outlook about Ian Kinsler is of little consolation to Kinsler.
    Describing the slump the Angels’ second baseman has endured this year, Scioscia said some of the peripheral numbers — “the internals,” he called them — were more encouraging than his .185 batting average.
    “All the ‘numbers around the numbers,’ it’d be nice if those counted,” Kinsler said. “The numbers outside the number

    NEW YORK — The interruption in Shohei Ohtani’s pitching schedule may end up amounting to only a few days.
    Ohtani threw a light bullpen session Saturday, which could put him back on schedule to start Wednesday in Detroit. He had been expected to start Sunday in New York, but the Angels scratched him, citing “workload management.”
    Manager Mike Scioscia was noncommittal Saturday afternoon about the plans for Ohtani, beyond saying he had to get through a light bullpen session

    Last year, in his first year in MLS, Alessandrini led the Galaxy with 13 goals in 30 games.
    This year, in a new role, the goals have been slow to come and the frustration has started to mount.

    You realize that forest trees are a wonderful gift, especially since you don’t have to do anything to help them grow. Yet, if you want sweet fruit to personally pluck from a tree, you will probably have to plant that tree yourself.

    But, California and 21 other states already have done so, according to two LGBTQ websites.

    5 garden tips for this week, May 26-June 1
    1 More mulch, please
    If you have not already done so, be sure to add a 3- to 4-inch layer of mulch around all your flowers, roses, shrubs and fruit trees. Mulch reduces the likelihood of having to deal with weeds. And it also helps soil retain moisture, so you don’t have to irrigate as often to keep your plants healthy.
    Mulching makes a wonderful difference. Just don’t use redwood-based products around roses. Compost and other amendments work well.

    A. Yes, there are places where bicycles can roll along freeway shoulders in California, usually in rural areas where bikers don’t have other options.
