Boop! Boop! Boop!

That's for Kawai Leonard Hurd at the Home Opener for the team that he chose to go to.

Do you think he realized when he signed with the Clippers that on opening night they'd be playing the Lakers and he'd get booed?

Do you think he thought of it when he was asked to address the crowd and got booed again?

Do you think he's going through the game saying, you know what?

It's like a road game. I'm on the wrong team. I should be with LeBron and AD.

Well, the Clippers have a way better team. He's in a way better situation, but he knows very well that the Clippers are and will always be the ugly stepchild to the Los Angeles Lakers.

It is a Lakers town hard stop.

I was watching NBA last night, but in addition, the number one thing that I was watching last night, the number one, of course, is the World Series.

Game one of the World Series, great pitching matchup, Garrett Cole against Justin Verlander.

And I'm thinking to myself obviously back when I was in the World Series in 2003, what was I doing pre-game?

What's going on in the craziness behind the scenes? That's where my head was.

I'm not really watching the warm up. I'm not watching Cole warm up in the bullpen or at all or the players in the batting cage.

I'm running around like crazy. And I was thinking that Houston had such front office distractions last night before the game.

Oy is all I can say. For starters, you had an owner, Jim Crane, who was dealing with statements that he was releasing.

We talked about him yesterday. He's got the commissioner in town. He's got to deal with all of his partners, not only in the team, but also his corporate partners.

Then he's keeping track of the umpires. Believe it or not, the umpires get met with before the game.

You've got Joe Torrey in town who is in charge of on field ground rules, on field discipline, the umpires, all things that are going on.

But as a team president and as a team owner and as the president of baseball operations, you have to deal with all of these things.

Then there's appearances you have to make. I actually got a list before a game. Hey, here's who's at the game.

Here's where they are. Here's the sweet number. You have to stop in.

Home games were always the most stressful in the post season because you feel like a host.
