We live in a weird world, kids. And, I suppose, this tame blog is part of it. All blogs are. Random stuff, almost impossible to verify, that should be taken with a boulder of salt whenever “real issues” are being preached. A few lives ago, when I was still sports editor of the San Bernardino […]

A Familiar … Backside? … in Hong Kong
October 29th, 2008 · 1 Comment · Hong Kong, The Sun
I could almost swear it was Steve Dilbeck. Well, no, there was no reason Steve Dilbeck should be striding along as I caught up to him on the track at Victoria Park. I don’t think he’s been to Hong Kong, or intends to go. But it could have been him. Instead, it was his Asian […]

San Bernardino Loses John Murphy to Press-Enterprise
October 17th, 2008 · 14 Comments · Sports Journalism, The Sun
Another blow to the San Bernardino Sun, and specifically to its sports section: John Murphy is leaving the paper to join its arch-rival, the Riverside-based Press-Enterprise. And there just went one of the last reasons to buy The Sun instead of the PE.

Seasons in The Sun: 1998, Nate Ryan
September 18th, 2008 · 7 Comments · Seasons in The Sun, Sports Journalism, The Sun
It’s hard to be a good guy and a good reporter. I’ve known more than a few good people, in journalism. But they tended not to be rise-to-the-top reporters or editors, and they often got stepped on during the career scramble. Because “good” held them back. I’ve known some very good journalists. But I don’t […]

‘Lyman Bostock Has Been Shot!’
September 18th, 2008 · 1 Comment · Angels, Baseball, Sports Journalism, The Sun
I was about to suggest that it’s interesting, what moments you remember in a three-decade career. Then I considered that we’re talking about a middle-of-the-lineup Angels hitter being shot dead on the streets of Gary, Indiana, and, yes, that probably ought to make for a memorable moment. Doesn’t happen every day. Anyway, that quote came […]

Worthy of a Sun Season: Lisa Renfro
September 10th, 2008 · 4 Comments · Seasons in The Sun, Sports Journalism, The Sun
Remember this? The Seasons in The Sun series … in which I’m trying to write about one former sports co-worker for the 33 years (or parts of years) I spent at the San Bernardino Sun? By no means do all the interesting folks get in. There were too many. Especially during the periods when the […]

Band Names from Paris
July 22nd, 2008 · 2 Comments · Sports Journalism, The Sun
Sort of a running joke, during The Sun sports reunion in Las Vegas, were expressions that seemed to strike someone as a good name for a band. They were coming about one-an-hour, there for a while. Some of those I remember … and feel free, homeboys and girls, to add more:

Sun Reunion: We’ll Always Have Paris
July 22nd, 2008 · 2 Comments · Sports Journalism, The Sun
Let’s see … “hitting on a soft 20” probably will be the line that sticks in people’s heads. Though “goat on a staircase” … “yes, I sit to pee” … “lucky goiter” … and “Black Death Tour” have a chance to live in infamy, as well. Ah, yes, The Sun sports department reunion weekend, July […]

Meanwhile, in Las Vegas …
July 21st, 2008 · No Comments · Sports Journalism, The Sun
May not get much posted today. I’m in Las Vegas for the Sun sports reunion. We’ve got something like 14 former Sun sports staffers here on The Strip, and it’s a little wilder than I expected, frankly. Not that I’m contributing a whole lot to it. Might be able to catch up tomorrow or the […]
