• Swanson: Time for Angels and their fans to lean into the long game

  16-05-2024 22:38 via ocregister.com
  
  ANAHEIM – The Angels stink this season. And you hate it, right?
  You shouldn’t.
  If you’re a fan of the ball club, you feel hoodwinked. Duped and demoralized.
  But please, don’t.
  C’mon, you say. You heard Perry Minasian, the club’s general manager, say the Angels would be “aggressive” in the offseason and you leaned forward in your seat, eager to see what would come next.
  You made peace with Shohei Ohtani’s departure (what choice did you have?)

• Horse racing: Imagination looks like real thing in Preakness

  16-05-2024 22:26 via ocregister.com
  
  The second leg of the Triple Crown series is first in the hearts of many people in horse racing, for a list of reasons big enough to wallpaper the Pimlico stakes barn.
  For those on hand for the Preakness Stakes at Pimlico Race Course in Baltimore, the fun starts with the weeklong buzz around that single barn housing every Preakness horse and horseman, and the old grandstand’s ramshackle charm, and the event’s place in the city’s rich sports history, and the crab dinners.

• Another big lie: Liberals are more ‘caring’ than conservatives

  16-05-2024 22:10 via ocregister.com
  
  People often ask, “How do you handle mean, vicious people when out in public?” The truth is I rarely encounter nastiness. It does happen, but thankfully, it is pretty rare.
  In general, when people don’t like me, they possess the maturity to restrain themselves from verbal road rage. I conduct myself the same way when I run into someone whose views I don’t care for. At a restaurant, I said hello to a host of a left-wing cable show, and he politely returned the gesture. Aft

  LOS ANGELES — There’s a trap that can ensnare teams at this point in the season, when conference play ends and regionals arrive. The teams that fall for the ruse allow the increased stakes to change their identity and their formula for winning softball games.
  UCLA head coach Kelly Inouye-Perez learned to avoid that ambush circa 2010, she says, when winning her first national championship as a coach reshaped her outlook.

  Voters in central Anaheim’s District 3 have received their ballots for a recall election of their Councilwoman Natalie Rubalcava.
