His absence likely means that rookie Kevin Gausman – known as the “Gas Man” around the Fantasy Source offices – will stick in the rotation for the foreseeable future. The righthander is currently working in Triple-A, waiting to be recalled for his start during Friday’s doubleheader against the Rays. With Norris missing time, though, Gausman should get an extended look in the Orioles’ rotation....

Last November, McCready lost to Republican challenger Mark Harris but Harris was never sworn into office. That’s because he found himself at the center of a ballot-harvesting scandal that forced him to give up the seat he had just won. Now we’re back, with McCready still in the race facing a new Republican challenger. It’s a very close race, and a very expensive one, too. The candidates are polling within a margin of error of each other, and nearly $20 million has been spent to date....

But journalists will be relieved to find out that his animosity to the microphone is nothing personal — he just does not like questions! Chelsea hit form with Conte’s back three Costa’s teammate Eden Hazard took over reporting duties following the Blues’ 2-0 win over Hull, and grabbed a nice dedication from Willian for his mother. But when he asked the Spain international about his goal he was met with a simple “no comprende,” confirmation it was a “golazo” and a rather troubling noise....

The structures that chief executive Ivan Gazidis has put in place over the past 12 months – such as hiring Raul Sanllehi as head of football relations, Huss Fahmy as contract negotiator and Sven Mislintat as head of recruitment – are designed to insure against a repeat of Friday’s eventuality. Wenger was never going to last forever and Arsenal knew that a new framework had to be put in place before he left....

Each time a man comes to her hotel asking for someone as clever as she is willing, Xun’s boss calls out for a “Number One.” On a scale of four, it’s the highest ranking, reserved for college girls.

My Little Pony: A New Generation, according to Fox News, features magical ponies who join together with others in a “pack of young progressives wanting to make change,” and The New York Times’ review of the film mentions “surprisingly unsubtle references to American politics.” However, the Netflix feature is just the latest example of kid-friendly fare that’s been criticized in recent years for being overtly political. Much of the attention being paid to the latest My Little Pony iteration centers around a central character who is said to resemble a certain political figure....

For years the MTV generation was dismissed as the American electorate’s most politically apathetic.

Polls find that nearly 75 percent say they will vote in November, compared with just 40 percent in 1988..,While their expected involvement partly mirrors an apparent yearning for change by the entire population, the role of MTV can t be ignored....

“I hope it’s great,” Kelly said at his Monday news conference. “I hope it’s a great atmosphere. We thrive on our home field. We’ve had a good run going at home.
