(“The TEN” is not a top ten but ten items worth being included in “The TEN”)

  1. The Vegas Golden Knights beat the Carolina Hurricanes 5-4 Tuesday night in Game 1 of the Stanley Cup Final.
  2. The Atlanta Falcons signed receiver Drake London to a four-year, $141 million extension.
  3. “Aaron’s a guy that I stay really close in touch with and I know the respect that he has for Myles. Talked to him about the opportunity to be able to bring him on board. If Aaron decides he wants to dust them off at the age of 35, I bet you he could still do it at a pretty high clip.” -Rams HC Sean McVay on the possible return of Aaron Donald.
  4. Rick Adelman, one of the NBA’s all-time winningest coaches, passed away at the age of 79 it was announced Monday. Adelman took the Portland Trail Blazers to the NBA Finals twice and also was head coach in Sacramento, Houston, Minnesota, and Golden State.
  5. Pittsburgh Steelers linebacker Nick Herbig signed a four-year, $100 million extension.
  6. The #8 seed, Cathedral Catholic, knocked off the #1 seed St. John Bosco 4-2 Tuesday in the first round of the Division I CIF State SoCal Baseball Championships.
  7. In a play reminiscent of a play from May 1993 when a ball bounced off the head of Jose Canseco and over the wall for a home run, a fly ball nicked off the glove of Angels’ outfielder Jo Adell and caromed off his head and over the fence for a solo home run Tuesday night. The Angels lost to the Colorado Rockies 8-2.
  8. Culver City was leading Glendora 11-10 Tuesday in the 13th inning of a Division III first-round game of the CIF State SoCal Baseball Championships when it was called due to darkness. The game will resume Wednesday at 4:00 PM.
  9. The Walnut head football coaching job is still open. Eric Peralta resigned May 22.
  10. The Angels have the worst record in baseball at 23-39.

    I know that Cathedral Catholic is a solid sports school, but when a #8 seed defeats a #1 in baseball, it’s usually because the underdogs had their best pitcher lined-up to shut down the other team’s bats. This is one of the main things I dislike about baseball: one guy has the power to negate all the efforts of the other team. In other words, in these situations, baseball becomes an individual sport.

    How do we solve this problem? Easy: when a new batter comes to the plate, a new pitcher has to go to the mound. In other words, if everyone has their turn to hit the ball, everyone has to take their turn at pitching. Yeah, some of the pitching would not be up to the level we’ve known, but we’d have a lot more excitment on the bases, higher scores, and less arm injuries from so much repetitive stress on the anatomies.

    Think this idea’s crazy? What if baseball allowed teams to choose only one or two guys to go to the plate for the entire contest? Would there be a cry about unfairness over that? Well, I’m crying about the unfairness of having the same fast-throwing specialist on the mound for the entire game. Same thing.
