Arroyo's Jax Wagner (Photo by Anne Cypress

Kick it!

It’s baseball season.

I don’t think I’m ready for this, thank goodness for the NFL Combine.

Just don’t come at me with any soccer talk.

Have I mentioned that I have always been a New York Knicks fan? This is true, I even own a Bernard King jersey.

Last Add Knicks: The dude might not be able to write his name in the ground with a stick, but New York got a whole lot better with the signing of J.R. Smith.

I first saw Arroyo Lady Knight hurler Jackie “Jax” Wagner pitch 9 years ago when she played softball for the Navy Bratz at Temple City American…I’ve seen her pitch a few times in high school…but I won’t see her this year. Wagner is gone for the season with a knee injury and will not step back into the circle until next spring at Utah State…We wish her well.

Pomona Red Devils safety Darryl Aggers, who will only be junior next fall, will only get better and better over the course of the next two years.

Alhambra faces Temple City this Saturday in baseball. So would a “Field of Dreams” game between these schools feature the Rams Ryan Tucker pitching to the Moors Ralph Kiner?

There was a time in the early 1980’s Peterson could hang out near the players parking lot at Chavez Ravine and be mistaken for Dodger prospect Rich Rodas.

I was always a Claudell Washington fan growing up and patterned my game after his…and except for my lack of speed, arm strength, hand eye coordination, and overall ability our games were identical.

Heads up, more coaching transitions coming down the road in football.

Chris Corchiani and Tom Guliotta are thrown out of the stands at a North Carolina State basketball game? That is unbelievable.

So glad we have a day set aside for President James Buchanan…

Sunday night I realized football food goes really well with episodes of “The Walking Dead”…

Really Last Add Knicks: Is Jeremy Lin a testimony to how great he is or how bad NBA scouting has become?

Note to former Athletic Directors/Coaches/Administrators: You know much more of the inner workings of your schools than I do. Absolutely, true, no problem there. However, do not tell me all sports are equal or that they should be treated equally. The sport that makes the most money, pays for itself, and supports other programs is set apart from all other sports…and it should be treated accordingly.

That might not be nice, that might not be fair, but it’s true.

The Dude abides…
