Hernández: Roki Sasaki's bond with Rikuzentakata endures, long after 2011 tsunami Rather than distance himself from his painful memories in Rikuzentakata, Roki Sasaki has taken a proactive approach to preserve his more pleasant recollections of his upbringing.

I visited the neighborhood in which Roki Sasaki lived before it was swept away by a tsunami.

I spoke to people who knew him as a boy. I spoke to people who knew his late father.

The last time they enjoyed home-court advantage in a postseason series was when Kobe Bryant was still playing for them.

Hernández: USC coach Lincoln Riley has imprisoned the Trojans in a cycle of mediocrity USC's loss to Notre Dame confirmed coach Lincoln Riley is short on playmakers and has blocked Trojans fans from even dreaming of championships.

Tarheeb Still's second interception, a 61-yard pick-six, lifts Chargers over Falcons Tarheeb Still's second interception, returned 61 yards for a touchdown, is the difference as the Chargers intercept four passes in a road win over the Falcons.

Huge win for the Chargers. In our podcast last week (see bio for link), @timkawakami.bsky.social and I speculated about how the Chargers would respond to their loss to the Ravens, and they proved us right. Here’s @thucnhi.bsky.social’s story from Atlanta: www.latimes.com/sports/charg...

Dodgers agree to sign two-time Cy Young Award winner Blake Snell The Dodgers made a major move Tuesday night, agreeing to a five-year, $182-million contract with two-time Cy Young Award winning pitcher Blake Snell.

A $52 million bonus. About $60 million in deferrals. Jack Harris with the details of Blake Snell’s 5-year, $182-million deal with the Dodgers, which is pending a physical examination: www.latimes.com/sports/dodge...

Column: Dodgers' pursuit of Blake Snell shows how Shohei Ohtani is a change agent The financial considerations that previously kept the Dodgers from pushing all-in on an annual basis suddenly feel as if they’re behind them.

The “golden era of Dodgers baseball,” as Andrew Friedman called it, might have just only started.
