Washington will return to the American capital with a 2-0 lead thanks to Saturday’s victory in St Louis. Max Scherzer did not give up a hit until the seventh inning, while Adam Eaton plated two with a double in the top of the eighth to all but put the game away. Now, the Nationals send another ace to the mound in Stephen Strasburg – who is coming off two great starts against the Los Angeles Dodgers in the NL Division Series....
Nationals shortstop Ian Desmond spotted a fan with a disability in the stands prior to his team’s game against the Reds on Tuesday and decided to play a quick game of catch during warmups. It was a small gesture but we’re pretty sure it made the fan’s night. MORE: Historic baseball photos | Bryce Harper pulls out special bat for Independence Day
The UEFA Nations League might not have been welcomed by some clubs across the continent — Liverpool manager Juergen Klopp called it “the most senseless competition in the world of football” — but it has generated plenty of intriguing story lines to pique interest in its inaugural year. The competition has reached its final set of qualifying matches, and results over the next week will determine which teams will feature in a Final Four mini-tournament in June — when the first Nations League champion will be crowned....
In the alliance’s condemnation of China, it called on Beijing to “act responsibly in the international system, including in cyberspace” and said it is determined to “actively deter, defend against and counter the full spectrum of cyber threats.” Beijing was also accused by the Biden administration and Western allies of working with criminal hackers by using ransomware and performing other illicit cyber activities. Though sanctions have not been imposed against the Chinese government, a senior Biden administration official said the announcements on Monday were part of a forceful condemnation against a “pattern of irresponsible behavior in cyberspace....
The plan’s collapse could deepen Ukrainian animosity towards NATO and encourage Russian aggression, the officials said, with the alliance unwilling to risk open confrontation with Moscow even at the cost of mounting Ukrainian casualties. President Volodymyr Zelensky said this week he has “cooled” on the idea of NATO membership, given the hesitance of alliance members to admit Ukraine or help close its skies to Russian jets wreaking havoc on its troops and civilians....
He likely won’t be catching up on that missed sleep Monday. Paul DeJong handed the Nationals their second straight walk-off loss, capping a back-and-forth finish with a game-ending solo homer in the ninth inning of the St. Cardinals’ 7-6 victory Monday night. DeJong took Koda Glover (0-1) deep leading off the ninth on a 3-1 pitch. A night earlier, Ryan Madson allowed a game-ending ninth-inning grand slam to the Chicago Cubs’ David Bote in a 4-3 defeat....
Causes Sciatica occurs when its namesake bundle of five spinal nerve roots – the longest in your body, which run from your spinal cord to your hip area and down the back of your legs – are damaged or compressed. It typically results from conditions such as a herniated disk, degenerative disc disease, spinal tumors, or spinal stenosis, as well as from accident-related trauma. Symptoms Often worsened by prolonged sitting (or by sneezing, coughing, or laughing), sciatica pain can range from a mild ache to a piercing sensation marked by burning and tingling....
That’s good, since President Bush, who chided American automakers earlier this year for not making “relevant products,” has shown little desire to ride to Detroit’s rescue. Indeed, after the White House meeting Tuesday, Bush expressed confidence that the shrinking Big Three can make the “tough choices” necessary to heal their companies on their own (read: lots of layoffs and factory closings). And the only clear commitment from the White House was to have more meetings....
Speaking after the poll was announced, he stated that Ico and GTA III have had more impact on Sony’s console. Citing that these games have “both influenced the industry tremendously,” Wells also went on to explain Ico’s specific influence on his current team. Keep in mind that the game they’re likely “making right now” is Uncharted 3. It’s best to assume that the Ico influence will be more broad and figurative, since although there are similarities these games have many big differences....
The Golden State Warriors were on a two-game winning streak and visited Milwaukee for their final matchup of the five-game road trip. The Eastern Conference powerhouse was coming off a blowout win against the Detroit Pistons and hosted the Warriors. The Warriors dominated the Bucks throughout the game as the hosts struggled from the field. Stephen Curry and Thompson were the high-scorers for the Warriors with 20 points. Giannis Antetokounmpo put together a double-double with 22 points and 15 rebounds....
The Raptors came into this contest, with the Clippers, having lost three of their last four games. The Raptors playing without Kawhi Leonard raced out to a 70-57 halftime lead. They got 13 first-half points, from Pascal Siakam, on 6/8 shooting. Serge Ibaka had 14 points, in the first half. Kyle Lowry had 7 points. The Clippers used a 22-12 run, with back up point guard, Milos Teodoscic going 3/3, from behind the arc, and recording two assists....
The franchise also enjoyed a terrific 2018 offseason, as they pulled off one of the biggest deals of the summer by signing DeMarcus Cousins to a one year deal. The acquisition of the 28-year-old centre means that the Warriors now have a starting five consisting entirely of All-Stars. Cousins is yet to play, as he is still recovering from a serious Achilles injury, although the former Pelicans man looks set to return in January....
Russell Westbrook won the award in 2016-17 after averaging a ridiculous triple-double over the entire season. He also became the first player to have played for a team that failed to win at least 50 regular-season games since 1982-83. James Harden is the defending MVP and has won it after finishing his side finished top of the Western Conference last season. We look at 5 players who have a realistic shot at winning this highly coveted award in the upcoming campaign....
So why should this draft class be any different? For starters, it features players with impressive physical and professional feats. Luka Dončić, MVP of the second-best basketball league on earth, Mo Bamba and his ridiculous 7-10 (239 cm) wingspan, one of the biggest in NBA history, Trae Young’s unlimited shooting range, DeAndre Ayton’s raw size and athleticism and more. Additionally, players like Miles Bridges and Robert Williams, who were considered top lottery picks in 2017, fell short of their earlier predictions against these guys....
After pushing the LeBron James-led Cleveland Cavaliers to a 7 game Eastern Conference Series in 2018, without their two main stars Kyrie Irving and Gordon Hayward, everyone believed the Celtics were to be the class of the NBA’s Eastern Conference in 2019. This has not been the case. Kyrie Irving has been great in returning to the team after knee surgery that kept him out of the 2018 playoffs. While Gordon Hayward has played and stayed healthy this season, Hayward’s actual play has been below his usual standards and his presence in the Celtic’s line-up may be stunting the growth of Jayson Tatum....

But are there any new entrant onto our power rankings? Read on to find out! #5 Philadelphia 76ers The Sixers are slowly but surely succeeding in their attempt to integrate Markelle Fultz into their starting lineup, as evidenced by their 100-94 win over the Pacers....
For some, though, this campaign could be pivotal in shaping their careers. Winning games may not even be enough to secure a future with your current employers, considering the ever-changing landscape of the league. A year ago, LeBron James was still at home in Cleveland, Kawhi Leonard was the San Antonio Spurs’ focal point to build around for the long term, Carmelo Anthony had joined the Oklahoma City Thunder with the idea of mounting a title push and DeMarcus Cousins was part of a fearsome front-court combination with Anthony Davis at the New Orleans Pelicans....
Just a day after defeating the 2nd placed Denver Nuggets, the Wizards defeated the 2nd placed Boston Celtics in the Eastern Conference. While they were without star Kemba Walker, the Wizards are in a much worse situation than the Celtics. They lost rookie Garrison Mathews in between the game, which hurt the bench even more. But, it didn’t affect them as much, as they went on to defeat one of the top teams in the league....

Jet packs were last part of the NBA 2K series as part of NBA 2K17, and allowed players to zoom around in the sky in the MyPlayer game mode.
