Baseball needed the Dodgers to win this game Thursday night and Friday morning, not for the reason of getting Los Angeles and Chicago as a boffo TV matchup for the NLCS, but to take what people supposedly know about the sport and take a sledgehammer to it. The save in Dodgers 4, Nationals 3 went to Clayton Kershaw in Game 5 of the division series, as Los Angeles advanced to the NL Championship Series....
The Dodgers — who won 106 games this year, the most in the history of the hallowed franchise — grabbed a 1-0 lead in Game 4 and a 3-0 lead in Game 5, but couldn’t hold onto either advantage. And so the offseason has arrived, much earlier than pretty much anyone expected for a team that had represented the National League in the World Series each of the past two years....

Over the past few decades, phones have become a big and important aspect of many scary movies, and every time, audiences want to scream at the characters to not pick up.

Aaron Rodgers and Joe Flacco face off, so to speak, on Sunday in Baltimore when the 2-2 Packers meet the 3-2 Ravens. The two Super Bowl MVPs are not in an Eli Manning- or Matt Ryan-like crater by any means, but they are not off to stellar starts, either. Yet putting too much blame on them would be shortsighted. Give both of them more help on offense, and you’d see, respectively, more touchdown drives and fewer sideline confrontations from Rodgers, and fewer interceptions and more time to operate for Flacco....
New Delhi – Inderjit Singh Bindra, former president of the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has taken exception to the board imposing severe restrictions on players and by inference blaming them for all the ills in Indian cricket. Bindra is livid with the present board dispensation and accused it of distorting even minutes of Monday’s working committee meeting here. Bindra, who made one of his rare appearances at the last two working committee meetings after three years, is particularly unhappy with the way his friend Jagmohan Dalmiya tried to find fault with only the players for all the untoward happenings in the Indian Premier League (IPL)....
None of these embarrassments compare, however, with the current assault on Churchill’s reputation. The former prime minister’s statue in London’s Parliament Square has been boxed up, and his bust has been removed from the Oval Office. A recent academic conference held, ironically, at Churchill College at Cambridge University illustrates the extent of the attack. At the conference, scholars sought to smash Churchill’s exalted status to smithereens. Participants denounced Churchill as a racist murderer and decried him as “the perfect embodiment of white supremacy....
Crews, a sports psychologist who studies putting–even the minimal agitation of a chip shot can upset her experimental apparatus–has found that a key difference between amateurs and pros lies in the left hemisphere. This is the seat of logic, analysis, verbal reasoning and the kinds of thoughts–Maybe I should just kind of squinch over a little more to the left–that you never imagine crossing Tiger Woods’s mind. Professionals, once they’ve determined how to make a shot, follow an invariable routine that renders conscious thought unnecessary....
“The only thing I have heard is that the writ has been dismissed and no relief has been granted. I don’t want to say anything more,” Srinivasan told reporters. Bombay High Court’s order was a major setback to the BCCI. The court also asked the board to form a new panel. The court also questioned the appointment of the two-member panel comprising retired Tamil Nadu High Court judges T. Jayaram Chouta and R....
“Any Jewish people that vote for a Democrat — I think it shows either a total lack of knowledge or great disloyalty,” Trump told reporters at the White House as he discussed a Monday press conference by Democratic Congresswomen Rashida Tlaib of Michigan and Ilhan Omar of Minnesota, in which they criticized Israeli leaders for barring them from entering the Mediterranean nation. The congresswomen were joined by Jewish-American supporters during that press conference, during which they suggested that the U....
