RIP Dave. Trojans will have to claw there way back to glory without you.
#5 Are the Lakers still an NBA team. Maybe they should consider going to Europe where the competition more equally matches their talent level and make sure Queen James is on the flight.
#6 A .153 batting average might be acceptable for a catcher but not an out fielder of his age. Dodger’s have been EXTREMELY patient with him. Trade him for some pitching which they always seem to need or, send him to the minors until he and them can figure out what happened to his swing and timing.
It’s altogether possible that Byron Scott, at 61, could play better than the stiffs wearing purple and gold nowadays.
