Sports April 2015, a month to remember
April was a fun month for us sports fans! No matter what sports who follow, there was something going on.
April was the beginning of professional baseball, whether you are a Dodger fan or an Angel fan, it was great just to have the season start again.
However there is still a dark side to the LA Dodgers; close to 70% of the market still is unable to see the Dodgers play and Vin Scully the game due to ‘Time Warner’ not making the games available outside their own customers.
Dodgers fans to remain in the dark as TV deal reportedly falls through!
No matter who or who is not watching them, the Dodgers are off to a good start. In my opinion, several of their new players, such as Pederson, Anderson and Rollins are a real fine. However I do think that the Dodgers still need a great closer, especially with Jansen still out at least until mid-month. It’s not bad and it could be worse!

April was also the end of a very exciting men’s college basketball ‘March Madness’. We saw the end of Kentucky run for a perfect season with their loss to Wisconsin. Then it was on to watching Wisconsin loss to Duke in the finals. It was indeed a thriller!

Just as we got use to the fact that college basketball was done for the season, on comes the NBA playoffs. It was a bit concerning that once again the LA Lakers did not make the playoffs, however, the LA Clippers did. Go Clippers!
Lakers eliminated from playoffs, team’s earliest elimination in 54 years.
You also have the NHL playoffs being played during the month of April. The Anaheim Ducks are in the playoffs, but sadly the LA Kings managed to miss the playoffs.
It was quite a shock for LA King fans when after wining last year’s Stanley Cup, they failed to even make the playoff this year. However, that means that us, the fans that were rooting for the Kings, will now turn our support to the Anaheim Ducks, after all, it would still be a Southern CA team winning the Stanley Cup!

It is a good thing is that Southern California has at least two teams for most sports, your team does make the playoffs, chances are the other team might. Such as, Lakers out, Clippers in, Kings out, Ducks in, Dodgers in, Angels out, (or the other way around, to early to tell yet).
Even USC or UCLA fans will route for the other team if their team doesn’t make it to the playoffs. Still beats an ‘outsider winning’. It’s always better for Southern CA when one of our local teams win!
Too bad the same can’t be said for professional football, LA still has no team! But that’s a whole other topic for another blog.
April is also important for the NFL. Most teams are in the hunt for new players, trading old ones, gaining new ones, even restructuring old contracts and make new ones.
There has even been a few surprises, such as the Washington Redskins deciding to pull the ‘franchise tag’ for RG3, when everyone else thought the owner would use the opportunity to trade him.
The NFL also releases it’s fall schedule in April. LA Fans can start marking their calendars, booking their air flights, hotels and whatever they will need in order to attend either San Diego Charger or the Oakland Raiders games.
This year, some team are really going outside the box in their attempt to gain depth in their rotations, even to the extent of the Eagles hiring Tim Tebow as their 4th Quarterback, A bit of an overkill, having 4 QB, but who knows. . .

April also brings us freaking weather in which baseball players have to deal with, we are all use to a bit of rain, in which we deal with rain delays, but how often do we see snow falling dealing a National Baseball Game, well it happened.
All in All, April was a great month for being a Sports Fan, can’t wait to see what May will bring!
