(“The TEN” is not a top ten but ten items worth being included in “The TEN”)
1. The LA Chargers stun Kansas City 29-28 on Thursday Night Football to pull even with the Chiefs in the AFC West at 11-3.
2. Cajon quarterback Jayden Daniels has committed to Arizona State.
3. The Dodgers sign former Boston Red Sox’ reliever Joe Kelly to a three-year, $25 million deal.
4. Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Carson Wentz has a fractured vertebra in his back and will miss Sunday night’s game against the Rams. He will continue to be evaluated to determine his status for the rest of the season.
5. James Harden scored 50 points to lead the Houston Rockets to a 126-111 win over the Lakers.
6. Raul Lara has stepped down at Warren after a five-year stint. The Bears went 29-23-1 during Lara’s tenure and made the playoffs twice.
7. The Clippers were routed 125-87 by the San Antonio Spurs Thursday night.
8. Happy Birthday to former Dodger/Boston Red Sox first baseman Bill Buckner who turns 69 today.
9. On this date in 1953 the Brooklyn Dodgers signed pitcher Sandy Koufax.
10. “People who write about spring training not being necessary have never tried to throw a baseball.” – Sandy Koufax.
Too bad one play represents Buckner’s career. He was or almost a lifetime 300 hitter I think. Lara’s record at Warren is very much more respected when the previous 3 years , under Jimenez, they went either : 0 and 29 and 1; or 1 and 28 and 1

Buckner got work after retirement as a wicket model
Bill Buckner: Poster boy for “The agony of defeat”.
Who would YOU pick for your NBA team: James Harden or LeBron James? I’ll give you this helping quote from Jerry West: “basketball is a young man’s game.”
The Chargers are a very good team. I grow up watching the Rams, but you got to like good football when you see it. I hope the Chargers play the Rams in the Superbowl. I am a Rams season ticket holder and even the Rams have games when many fans are from the visiting team. That is just what happens when you move your franchise.
I grow up in SoCal and I like all teams from the area: Lakers, Clippers, Rams, Chargers, Dodgers, Angels, UCLA, USC, and even the SDSU. For me it is fun when the home teams win on the west coast.
