    @ Rams Fan: Is it possible that the spellcheck handlers are Keyshawn Johnson fans who’ve hardly heard of Clayton Kershaw?

    @King: Make a well made video of Natalie and send it to college AD’s and softball coaches. That is the way the game is played at unknown public schools. Parents have to advocate and be a pest. If done right you may not get an offer but you can get good networking advice.

    Not sure how spell check gets Keyshawn and Keshawn out of Kershaw but excuse the error.

    Speaking of Softball there’s a girl at Azusa High School hitting .620 on this her junior year and has 4.3 GPA. Her name is Natalie Wilson. Pretty quiet girl who smokes a softball and has a vacuum for a glove at first. She would start at most of the big schools and get far more recognition if she wasn’t at Azusa!

    #4 so Keshawn pitches pretty well. Leaves the game with a 5-2 lead. Mr blown saves Jensen comes in gives up the 3 run bomb and blows the save. Surprised? Not as surprised as seeing Roberts bring him back out in the ninth. Who does that? Thanks to Bellinger, Roberts looks like a genius ? Jensen gets the win. All I can say is Jensen better be buying Keyshawn dinner for a week.

    Some folks are not up to date on all things softball. It would have saved me time if her university was mentioned.

    The Clippers understand the lay of the land in today’s NBA, which requires patience and brains to build a winner. The Lakers, on the other hand, are stuck in the 1980’s, where huge sums of money could be thrown at players to come and win now. Someone needs to tell Jeannie to wake-up and smell the new century.
