“A miserable start,” manager A.J. Hinch called it on Tuesday. That .273 winning percentage was worse than the 2019 squad’s .292 winning percentage, when they lost a soul-crushing 115 games. But a funny thing happened on the way to yet another lost season disguised with a “rebuilding year” label. “We figured out how to win,” veteran second baseman Jonathan Schoop told Sporting News on Tuesday afternoon, smiling as he wiped sweat from his brow while sitting in a sauna-esque visitors dugout on a 96 degree day in St....

Pep Guardiola’s side have been in imperious form since the international break, sweeping aside all before them. City 7/1 to beat Shakhtar 3-0 In five fixtures across Premier League, Champions League and Carabao Cup competition, City have plundered 22 goals. They are, however, only top of the domestic standings on goal difference, with Neville of the opinion that Jose Mourinho’s experience will keep United in the hunt until a potentially crucial derby clash at Old Trafford on December 9....

[HTML1] E3 2015 is less than a week away, with gamers primed in anticipation of all the big announcements, trailers, and surprises this time of year inevitably holds. As is typical, however, major news has already been breaking before the event has even begun. Last week saw Bethesda’s official announcement of the long-awaited Fallout 4. Earlier today DICE and EA confirmed the title for the upcoming Mirror’s Edge sequel, Catalyst....

Black Africa’s boycott of Pretoria also never had as much impact as its participants initially claimed. It was Europe and the United States, which never severed official ties to South Africa, that made sanctions work. A cutoff of Western credit was instrumental in launching de Klerk on his reform path. Today Pretoria still has full diplomatic relations with only one African country, Malawi; but it maintains some sort of official presence in 13 more, from the consulate in the Comoro Islands to an interest office in Namibia....

Guerrero Jr. took Major League Baseball by storm with his epic 2021 MLB season. The Toronto Blue Jays first baseman placed second in the American League MVP voting, hitting .311 with an OPS of over 1.000. He also led all of baseball in home runs with 48 and runs scored with 123.

The Senior National Championships also ended earlier on Friday, with fans now awaiting the next big tournament where they can watch their favourite kabaddi stars in action again. E Prasad Rao, the technical director of the International Kabaddi Federation and Pro Kabaddi League, spoke to Sportskeeda on the sidelines of the Nationals and stated that the sixth edition of the PKL might just be around the corner. When quizzed about whether we will witness another Pro Kabaddi League or World Cup in 2018, he ruled out the possibility of the latter taking place anytime soon but was confident that we may get to witness Season 6 of the highly popular PKL soon....

Now, almost a month after the release of the game, a team of twelve creative minds has delivered a seven level story campaign titled Hansel and Gretelbot that features the lovable Sackboy and the new Sackbot. Loosely based on the Grimm fairy tale, this LittleBigPlanet variation tasks the player with surviving the many dangers of the Dark Western Woods in order to get Sackboy and his sister home. With nothing but the same tools that any player of LittleBigPlanet 2 has access to, this team of twelve was the first to answer a call that will hopefully prove that this sequel is truly a “platform for games....

In case you didn’t know… Reports of Salah’s departure from Liverpool has been consistent in the rumor mill, with clubs like Real Madrid reportedly showing interest in his services. In recent weeks, however, the 26-year-old forward has been heavily linked with a move to Turin-based outfit Juventus. Cristiano Ronaldo has reportedly also sanctioned a summer move for the forward, with a potential transfer costing around £175 million. Having risen through the ranks in the Premier League, the Egyptian went from being a reject at Stamford Bridge to a Premier League Golden Boot winner in his debut season with Liverpool and ultimately a Ballon d’Or nominee....

Wenger warns Arsenal over Chelsea The Reds’ 3-1 defeat at Leicester City on Monday came as a huge frustration to Thompson, formerly an Anfield player as well as assistant and caretaker manager. He believes manager Klopp has a huge task on his hands to reshape the Liverpool squad, which he feels has a poor attitude and needs a presence comparable to former Manchester United captain Roy Keane. “Liverpool need to spend big in the summer and replace the spine of the team, which is a top goalkeeper, a top defender, a central midfielder with some bite and a quality striker,” Thompson said to Sky Sports....

Dual-screen roles are nearly as old as film itself. The first is believed to be in 1922 film Lady of the Night, which features Norma Shearer playing two dancers. In this film, the effect was achieved by layering two film strips on top of each other, with the actor filming the scene twice and a stand-in used for scenes when you can only see the back of one of the characters (fun trivia: Shearer’s stand-in in Lady of the Night was a then-unknown Joan Crawford)....

For those who want to watch the reenactment, it can be watched in full on Hillary Duff’s Instagram. The actor posted the 40-minute video on May 11, with the caption: “LIZZIE MCGUIRE retro table read! “Some fun for you this Monday! Hope you guys have fun watching this! We could not stop laughing reading lines from tween us…this is the first time we were all “together-ish” in almost 18 years!...

The drama started when One Direction fans thought Lizzo, whose real name is Melissa Viviane Jefferson, made a slight against Harry Styles. In an old TikTok video, Lizzo suggestively sucks a chocolate popsicle while watching perform Styles onstage—the humorous video is laden with innuendo and is a nod to the playful and well-documented relationship between Styles and Lizzo. However, some fans have deemed the joke “offensive,” hence the calls to “cancel” Lizzo making their way around Twitter, some veering into offensive territory themselves....

The poster, who goes by the username “savkyrie,” published a photo of the “personal hygiene items” allegedly suggested by her former employer, Moore’s, which she said is a heating and air conditioning-related company based out of Virginia. “This was sent out to all the women employees,” said the post, which has been upvoted over 16,400 times in the “AntiWork” forum. “Just the women.” The memo includes two points of emphasis: keeping clothing “clean and neat” and personal hygiene....

‘Til death do us part takes on a deeper meaning in war-torn Ukraine, where some 5,767 people have died in the bloody war with Russia, masterminded by Russian President Vladimir Putin, with thousands more injured. But amid the shelling, air raids and rubble, a familiar sight graced the streets, a wedding at the Church of the Holy Eucharist in Lviv. The city is located just 43 miles from the Polish border, where millions have fled since the conflict began in February....

When Love Island started, it was just five girls and five guys, who coupled up quickly to try and find their love connection. Very soon, more men and women were brought onto the island, muscling in on other people’s turf to secure their spots. The second week in the Love Island villa was, in many ways, much the same as the first, with new arrivals threatening to turn heads and others being forced to depart after days on Friendship Island....

Despite fans being super excited for the latest installment in the romantic comedy series, they should be prepared for some big changes. The biggest alteration of all is that the narrative shifts away from Darby and focuses on a brand new lead. Newsweek has everything you need to know about Love Life Season 2. Why Anna Kendrick is no longer the lead of Love Life Anna Kendrick starred in the first season of Love Life as New Yorker Darby Carter, navigating her love life throughout her twenties....

EA Sports announced Thursday that gamers can dive into the next-gen versions of Madden 21 starting December 3, ahead of its official release on Friday, if you already own the previous generation version of the game. The “dual entitlement” upgrade is available to those who own the digital or disc versions of the game....
