The first five weeks of the season is kind of like rolling through Denmark, Holland, Belgium, Luxembourg, heck even France&#8230;but now you gotta battle the IDF (Israeli Defense Forces)&#8230;Can they win a close game?<\/p>\n<p>My image is of Ty Webb talking to Danny Noonan on the links of Bushwood, but instead he\u2019s talking to Lynwood. \u201cLynwood, see your future. Be your future. Make it, make your future happen.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>If Downey falls Friday&#8230;I have a feeling our message board is going to tilt.<\/p>\n<p>Don\u2019t get me wrong, I\u2019m not anti-Clayton Kershaw. I like Clayton Kershaw, I think Clayton Kershaw is the best pitcher in baseball&#8230;No argument from me on this. My struggle in regards to Clayton Kershaw is the people who talk about, write about, and post about him being the next Sandy Koufax.<\/p>\n<p>Sorry, you\u2019ve got to win a few big playoff games, let alone toss four no-hitters, to be considered the next Koufax. How about winning Game Three of the 1981 World Series, despite getting rocked early and not having your best stuff, like Fernando Valenzuela did.<\/p>\n<p>&#8230;And then, of course, the whole division championship celebration by the Dodgers was so excessive. They spilled and sprayed a lot of bubbly for the National League West&#8230;maybe they should have saved it for something else.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_40300\" style=\"width: 410px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/midvalleysports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/logo.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-40300\" class=\"wp-image-40300 size-medium\" src=\"http:\/\/midvalleysports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/logo-400x140.png\" alt=\"(626) 287-6417 Monday-Friday 8-6 | Saturday 8-4 9237 Lower Azusa Rd. #N Temple City, CA 91780\" width=\"400\" height=\"140\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-40300\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">(626) 287-6417<br \/> Monday-Friday 8-6 | Saturday 8-4<br \/> 9237 Lower Azusa Rd. #N<br \/> Temple City, CA 91780<\/p><\/div>\n<p>It\u2019s like someone telling you the best part of your life is being 16, when they have no clue how great 26 is gonna be.

He absolutely crushed a linebacker coming in off the edge&#8230; By the way TC won 35-15 and Tsun Tsai (Tsainamite!) rushed for 281 yards and three touchdowns.<\/p>\n<p>Very curious to see what happens up at LC Friday night.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>Regards:<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>In\u00a0regards to<\/strong> Maranatha and my optimistic view: \u201cCome on Joe: What are you doing Dude.
