Southern California News Group sports columnists Jim Alexander and Mirjam Swanson discuss hot topics and … cheesy dad jokes?
Well, before we begin the serious discussion, this just in: According to Front Office Sports, Giannis Antetokounmpo has invested in the Los Angeles team that will be part of the Tiger Woods/Rory McIlroy TGL – Tiger Golf League, I suppose? – which is supposed to begin play this January.Has he bought property here yet? On a golf course, maybe? Seems inevitable – the Giannis-to-the-Lakers talk, not necessarily him buying a mansion in town.
I’d have rather him gotten out ahead of it by telling the truth: That ain’t gonna cut it. Not for a team that has its sights set on a national championship. Plus there are four MVP candidates on the same field, and let’s hope no one decides to hop the fence and go after Ronald Acuña Jr., the way a couple of knuckleheads did in Denver this week. Good thing the Rockies’ security staff wasn’t totally dozing when that happened.Mirjam:
No one has ever had a 30-60 season like Acuña is going to, with at least 30 homers and 60 stolen bases. Even with baseball’s new rules intended to encourage more aggressive baserunning, that’s mind-blowing.
