Craig is nursing a foot injury and has not been on the active roster since Sept. 4. "Doesn't look like Allen's going to be on this," Cardinals manager Mike Matheny told reporters Thursday of his roster. "I know he's progressing, and I know he's doing a lot of work. We look forward to watching him progress. You just never know. "It looks like our roster is going to be the same....
That’s Caitlin McGinty from “Beach Blanket Bablyon,” which is in its 40th year and is apparently America’s longest-running musical revue. Her performance actually was pretty much on point, but Fox Sports 1 almost comically shied away from showing her and her costume during the song. In any case, if there’s anything I love about playoff baseball it’s the weird hats. Keep ’em coming, Giants.
The Duke star’s old comments from a Home Team Hoops documentary resurfaced after New Orleans won the 2019 NBA Draft lottery — and caused quite a stir. Multiple outlets reported Williamson, who was 16 years old at the time, saying that Pelicans forward Anthony Davis and Wizards guard John Wall turned him down when he asked for autographs. Not a great look for either guy. NBA MOCK DRAFT 2019:Pelicans, Knicks, Hawks snag Duke stars; Lakers pick sharpshooter...
Visitors to Fort Monroe, the historic site where the first Africans arrived on the shores of Virginia in 1619, will no longer see the name of Jefferson Davis, president of the Confederacy, displayed across its famous archway. Removing Davis’ name is an important rejection of the manipulation of history. The individuals behind the archway sought to fulfill their political agenda by honoring a secessionist government, promoting white supremacy and denying the realities of slavery in the United States....
Anti-gay threats and slurs are hardly new–in Denver or anywhere else. But in Colorado the voices of hate have taken on a new edge. On Nov. 3, state voters approved–by a margin of 53 to 47 percent–a measure designed to strip away legal protections for gays. The amendment to the state constitution bars local governments from prohibiting discrimination in jobs and housing based on sexual orientation. The measure also repealed existing gay-rights ordinances in Aspen, Boulder and Denver....
“BREAKING: ‘Judge In Ghislaine Maxwell Trial Issues Media-Wide Gag Order: All Press & Spectators Barred From Courtroom.’ We know who they are protecting and we can’t allow it!,” stated one post from UFC fighter Tim Kennedy, shared thousands of times on Twitter so far. Others have questioned why Maxwell’s trial will not be streamed live, comparing the British socialite’s case to the trial of teenager Kyle Rittenhouse, who was acquitted by a jury of murder charges on November 19....
In a narrow sense, the chattering classes were right–nothing changed over the course of those 90 minutes. Mitt Romney didn’t short-circuit; Mike Huckabee didn’t levitate. But what we got instead what just as interesting–and probably more informative. After a one-two primary punch in Iowa and New Hampshire that only muddled an already confusing contest, the Republican race now looks more like a Rubik’s Cube than a chessboard–a cluster of regional competitions with different contestants who each have different objectives, all moving at once....
Bryant, 37, sat out the Lakers’ 118-78 loss Saturday to the Thunder because of discomfort in his right shoulder. He said the setback is only temporary. MORE: The 15 most overpaid players in the league | Rockets might just be the contenders we thought they were “It’s just something that needs a couple days,” Bryant said via the Los Angeles Times, adding that he hopes to be ready for Tuesday’s game in Denver....
An embarrassing League Cup exit to Bristol City followed by successive 2-2 draws against Leicester City and Burnley had made the visit of Mauricio Pellegrino’s side a must-win for the sake of the players’ confidence and the supporters’ belief that something – anything – can be rescued from this campaign. Lukaku had headed over an early chance from six yards out after Juan Mata’s cross from the right and appeared set for an evening of heavy involvement against a slapdash Saints backline....
He veered from mildly involved but menacing to, well, holographic, all in the span of a week, and it remains to be seen which Auba will turn out for the Gunners in their Carabao Cup final against Manchester City in Sunday. On his debut against Everton, the former Dortmund man whet the appetite for the North London derby, but his vaunted duel with Spurs hitman Harry Kane never threatened to take off, bar a very brief moment in the first half....
Just two out and out strikers feature in the list announced by Jorge Sampaoli on Monday. Sergio Aguero starts in pole position to lead the Argentina attack, a logical move after yet another brilliant season for the all-conquering Manchester City. His deputy will be Gonzalo Higuain, uneven in form for Juventus over the course of the year and fiercely questioned for his recent Albiceleste performances. Alongside that pair, Lionel Messi and a relieved Paulo Dybala add creative thrust, while Boca starlet Cristian Pavon and Independiente winger Maxi Meza, one of the few players to come out of that 6-1 defeat to Spain with any credit, offer pace and trickery out wide to compensate their inexperience at the top level....
The dot-com downturn is loosening up the tech world’s notoriously tight labor market. Twenty-two thousand employees have been canned from Internet start-ups this year alone, according to outplacement firm Challenger, Gray and Christmas. With most of those folks out looking for new kinds of occupational punishment, surviving start-ups are having an easier time filling new slots. In the old days (i.e., six months ago), the tech industry was a seller’s job market....
Actually, he waved the white flag just a couple of days later. What choice did he have? No one knows exactly what was said in a tense phone conversation between Vladimir Putin and Lukashenka, but it was clear that Putin was playing for keeps. The Kremlin’s key threat: to slap tariffs on Belarussian goods exported to Russia. Since well above half of Belarus’s trade is with its larger neighbor–and onetime best geopolitical friend–that would have destroyed the country’s economy....
Without this year’s installment of “The Game” — which was canceled Tuesday because of the Wolverines’ ongoing issues with COVID-19 — that talking is going to be the worst part of it. Even in a year where the Buckeyes opened as 30-point favorites, you still need to see it. For all the advances in modern technology, the Michigan-Ohio State rivalry still relies on the word of mouth — the storytelling that passes down like its own language from generation to generation — in those short affirmations of Rust Belt pride....
Christi A. Grimm was confirmed Friday to be the new inspector general of the Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS), thanks in part to no Republicans objecting to her appointment. She will oversee the $1.6 billion department that has about 1,600 employees. When discussing her potential in the role of inspector general, Grimm seemingly impressed both Democrats and Republicans on the Senate Finance Committee with her stance on the post’s responsibilities....
Yet Brown’s staff downplays Shrum’s role, pointing out that he’s only one of several key political advisers. Their fear is that exposing it will spotlight an unwelcome American influence over British politics and the return of “spin” to 10 Downing Street. Some prominent Labour Party figures are also grumbling over what has become known in the United States as the “Shrum curse”: none of his clients ever made it to the White House....
The 26-year-old has scored 17 goals for the Reds this term as they have pushed their way to third in the Premier League and into the Champions League semi-finals, where they will face Roma over two legs. However, the exploits of Mohamed Salah have pushed the Senegal international star into the shade, though Ings, who has missed much of the season injured, has hailed the contribution of the ex-Southampton and Metz attacker....
