By Joe Torosian Kick it! How does the greatest team in MLB history lose twice in Colorado? I’m sure Dianna Russini will be blamed for it. Staying in Denver, on the ice, for a moment, I thought the Kings had a shot against the Avalanche. Not prime time… but you can see them on Prime. […]

By Joe Torosian Kick it! Mike Trout has risen from the grave. As a Mets fan, I’m in full support of an MLB work stoppage. The Jerry West doc is a must-see. I knew he had hurts, but in all my time following sports and watching West as a player, coach, and GM, I never […]

By Joe Torosian Kick it! …And I was this close to saying, “Keep an eye on the Clippers.” First time at Chavez Ravine this season…likely the last. Trapped among Dodger fans, I was the subject of much abuse during the Mets’ 8-2 loss. Tacky things like, “Old spaghetti-armed Lindor.”

By Joe Torosian Kick it! I’m going to The Ravine tonight.  The plan, for now, is to have a meal. Dodger Dog, peanuts, water… the problem is, I don’t have a co-signer…Anyone want to help me out? …And what sort of pretentious joint doesn’t take cash?

By Joe Torosian Kick it! The Stanley Cup is approaching, so it’s time for me to slither back to the LA Kings bandwagon. I love the Kings, I was all over them in my youth, but these days, man, who’s got the time?

By Joe Torosian Kick it! Rory Mcllroy, bogeys 18, but still holds off Scottie Scheffler to win his second consecutive Masters. And…. Naaah, I didn’t watch it.

By Joe Torosian Kick it! Do “City Connect” uniforms really connect with the city, or is it just another revenue stream? The Rams having interest in bringing Jimmy Garoppolo back doesn’t exactly strike me as scoop. I followed the Los Angeles Kings pretty close back in the day…but, on this day in 1982, after they […]

By Joe Torosian Kick it! The NCAA is weighing changes to eligibility to allow five seasons and eliminate redshirt and injury years. I like the honesty of acknowledging what we know, the players already are.  Scholarships should be replaced with contracts. My only question is, after Freshman, Sophomore, Junior, Senior, what will the fifth season […]

By Joe Torosian Kick it! The fight in Anaheim last night might have been the most exciting thing to happen since Shohei was an Angel. The Dodgers are rapidly ascending to a place where it will be safe to say, “Who is like the Dodgers? Who is able to make war with them?”

Kick it! The only thing missing from last night’s national championship game was skates and Jonathan E….that was a physical contest. Bodies were hitting the floor, players were going down, I kept waiting for Bill Rafferty to shout over the air, “Game? This wasn’t meant to be a game!” Hardly pretty, little aesthetic charm, but […]
