Alexander: Another championship, sort of, for Los Angeles (opens the original)
Read excerpt
• All hail the Los Angeles Queens, the city’s latest champion after winning Game 5 of the inaugural Women’s Professional Baseball League championship series Tuesday. Let’s say they earned a place in L.A. sports lore if for no other reason than beating San Francisco in the best-of-five championship series, albeit after letting a 2-0 series lead get away, and two days after getting shelled by the Firebells 17-4. Legends have been formed around here for far less. And yes, the Queens have their own
Alexander: Wouldn’t another Dodgers-Padres playoff series be fun? (opens the original)

LOS ANGELES — If there are any messages being sent this week, they’re subtle ones. The Dodgers and Padres have become quite the rivalry in recent years. The Padres’ stars, particularly Fernando Tatis Jr. and Manny Machado, get on the nerves of Dodger fans. San Diegans, with their tendency to dislike all things associated with the metropolis to the north – except for that segment of folks who still can’t totally let go of the Chargers – relish the opportunity to, well, beat L.A.

• Would it drive fans in other cities even further out of their minds if the Dodgers wound up three-peating despite minimal contributions from their two big free-agent signings of last winter? … • Kyle Tucker (four years, $240 million all told, $55 million in 2026 including a $54 million signing bonus according to Cot’s Contracts), might be starting to wake up at the plate after struggling to justify that contract for the first six-plus months. In the past eight games going into Friday night’s s

• Major league umpire Doug Eddings was back in the news this week, someplace where game officials in any sport really shouldn’t want to be. This time, Eddings upbraided young St. Louis Cardinals pitcher Hancel Rincon, insisting that he straighten his cap because no one was going to wear it at an angle on “my field.” (This was, incidentally, Rincon’s first big league appearance. And kudos to the other Cardinals who came out the next night all wearing their hats off-center in protest.) But Eddings
Alexander: Rams and Dodgers top the Expectation Index (opens the original)

Here is a reminder, and maybe this applies more to those who live elsewhere and love to take potshots at Southern California and its sports fans: There are 18 major league and power conference college teams (football and men’s and women’s basketball) in this market, representing the 18.3 million residents of Los Angeles, Orange, Riverside, San Bernardino and Ventura counties. And as we’ve noted here often, standards are high in the most diverse sports market on the planet. You want to fill more
