Arte Moreno bought the Angels in 2003 (the year after they won the Series) for $184 million. He then spent 23 years running them into the ground, let the stadium decay, wasted Trout and Ohtani, and sold for $4 billion. And the owners are crying poverty and threatening to kill baseball next year.

Almost every week, we see a liberal writer condemn “wokeism” or the “woke. . .” They are attacking a caricature, a perversion, a distortion of a historically Black concept that MAGA propagandists first distorted. These people are not serious thinkers.

Took the dog on her longest trip in the Sierras yet.
Sadie posing on a granite rock with her red pack on her back, looking out over a basin with a lake in the Sierra Nevada range. Blue sky. Sadie smiling with her eyes closed, on a dirt and rock path along a trail climbing up a canyon. There is a waterfall in the distance, with a craggy peak in the back. Sadie is curled up in a ball on top of her purple sleeping back, next to my sleeping bag. It's about 6:30 AM, and sunlight is starting to reach the peaks in the background. A creek runs through a meadow up along a pass between two valleys. The meadow is bright green with fresh grass, with granite rocks throughout. A ridge with trees along it in the midground, and a series of peaks in the distance. Sadie is running in the meadow, looking for ground squirrels.

The little girl was still in Bluey pajamas.

No older than 3, she was trying to smell the flowers.

At her side, a pink rolling bag.

Her father, Joan Sebastian Guerrero, had just been fatally shot and yanked from a car he’d been driving. Now, he lay handcuffed in the street, where he would remain for five hours.

 “You took her dad, you took her dad!” a woman nearby yelled, according to Cecelia Humiston, 22, who witnessed the interaction in Biddeford on Monday morning.
