Dodgers’ starter Walker Buehler — and everyone at Dodger Stadium and everyone watching from home — thought he had strike three against Braves outfielder Joc Pederson with a perfectly placed cutter on the low-inside corner. Instead, the pitch was called a ball to make it a 1-2 count. It unraveled from there. As it seems to always happen in baseball, Pederson took advantage of his second chance, singling to drive in the runner from third and put runners on the corners, cutting the Dodgers’ lead down to just 2-1....

Many expect Seager to be the Dodgers’ regular shortstop next season, but he also has played some third base in the minors this season.

Seager entered the season as Baseball America’s No. 5 overall prospect but ascended to No. 1 by midseason after an early wave of promotions to the big leagues....
After arriving in Los Angeles four seasons ago amidst carnivalesque excitement, the outfielder struggled to consistently deliver on the promise that seemed so tangibly displayed on his cartoonishly muscular body. By August 2016, he was banished to Triple-A Oklahoma City and catching flak for partying with his minor-league teammates. The show looked over. MORE: Three takeaways from Dodgers’ pennant-clinching win Puig is an easy guy to misunderstand or misinterpret. But while he might seem overly cocky and focused on playing to the camera — with bat licks and bat flips, even on foul balls — his presence and production in the 2017 postseason is the product of a personal maturation that probably saved his career from flaming out....
Depending on how the 2020 and 2021 seasons go, though, that’s a reality that could be coming. Houston certainly has bounceback potential once it gets its head-coaching situation finalized, because having a quarterback as good as Deshaun Watson solves a lot of ills. But Watt has also spoken recently about the clock-ticking nature of his NFL career. The defensive end will want to see the Texans in contention to stay in town long-term....
Though Carlson only mentioned the president’s alleged “hair plugs” in passing as part of a larger segment, there have long been questions about Biden’s hairline and there appears to be no formal confirmation that he received a transplant.

When he was a senator in the 1970s, Biden appeared to be visibly balding before his hairline seemed to improve....

Historically, there have been various myths which claim to have the answer to this equation. One of these suggests that to find out a dog’s age, you simply multiply it by seven to reveal its human equivalent. But, how accurate is this really? When asked about the effectiveness of this method, Director of Veterinary Medicine for the Animal Medical Center of Mid-America (AMCMA), Dr. Travis Arndt told Newsweek: “There isn’t really a one-size-fits-all answer....
Redstone’s move shocked investors. But perhaps it shouldn’t have. Just days before the firing, the Wall Street rumor mill had Biondi heading for another job–to replace Time Warner chief Gerald Levin, believe it or not. Instead, Biondi got the boot from Redstone, who controls Viacom. As such things go in showbiz, the move was quite mannerly. In nine years, the two men built Viacom into a powerhouse with such brands as Showtime, Simon & Schuster and Nickelodeon....

Cherry recently sat down with Toronto Sun columnist Joe Warmington to discuss his relationship with his former co-worker and on-air partner, saying he doesn’t believe the two can be friends again. “No I don’t think we’ll ever be friends again … you can’t be friends,” Cherry said. “It’s too bad because we were together, we used to have fun. Coach’s Corner was fun.” The two hosted “Coach’s Corner” together, a segment on CBC’s “Hockey Night in Canada”, from 1986 up until Cherry was fired from the network for his controversial comments regarding Canadian immigrants that did not wear remembrance poppies....
“Ohio is tough,” Lemon said as he and Cuomo discussed the shooting on air on Wednesday night.
