On Judge-ment Day, SF Giants handed Opening Day loss by former free agent pursuit

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 08:25:14 GMT

NEW YORK — Hollywood script writers couldn’t have set the stage any better: MLB’s most-prized free agent target, playing host on Opening Day to the team he spurned, being pitched to by their staff ace, after being pitched by him this offseason.“I don’t know who at MLB did that to me,” Aaron Judge smiled before the game.And whether it played out on the big screen or on Broadway or on a parcel of former swampland in the Bronx, there was only one way that first at-bat was going to end. On the second pitch he saw from Logan Webb, Judge swatted a middle-middle sinker over the center field wall, into Monument Garden, where if his nine-year, $360 million contract ends well, the new Yankee captain will one day be memorialized.Judge’s first-inning homer was among the little damage the Yankees did against Webb, but it proved to be enough support behind Gerrit Cole, who mowed down the Giants for six innings, in a 5-0 Opening Day loss at Yankee Stadium.Both startin...

Riverside County’s scandal-plagued sheriff’s department needs serious reform

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 08:25:14 GMT

The results have been catastrophic for Riverside County.The California Department of Justice has already launched a civil rights investigation into the sheriff’s department to determine if the department “has engaged in a pattern or practice of unconstitutional policing amid deeply concerning allegations relating to conditions of confinement in its jail facilities, excessive force, and other misconduct.”The Riverside County Sheriff’s Department has already settled a federal lawsuit prompted by deputies barging into the homes of an elderly couple without a warrant.And now, families of some of the many jail inmates wh...
