Cowboy Joe is headed for No. 1, closing in on the top spot on the chart. Joe West is poised to break baseball’s umpiring record when the St. Louis Cardinals visit the Chicago White Sox on Tuesday night. West is set to work home plate for his 5,376th regular-season game, snapping a tie with Hall of Famer Bill Klem. The colorful West, who turns 69 on Oct. 31, is perhaps the most famous umpire in major league history, known for his memorable run-ins with several players and managers over the… Source link

Damian Lillard certainly came to play early on Monday night at Ball Arena. His hot start, however, didn’t carry over into the second half — and the Portland Trail Blazers paid the price. The Denver Nuggets, behind a 38 point night from Nikola Jokic, powered past the Trail Blazers to grab a 128-109 win in Game 2 and even up their opening-round playoff series 1-1. “That right there was a playoff game, for both teams,” Nuggets coach Michael Malone said, . “The intensity, you had two… Source link

The Phoenix Suns are playing playoff basketball again and a big part of that success is Chris Paul.  So when Paul went down with what looked at first to be a devastating shoulder injury in the second quarter against the Los Angeles Lakers, it took the air out of Phoenix Suns Arena. He quickly returned despite the official diagnosis of a right shoulder contusion and heard the love from fans both in the arena and sitting around TVs.  Chris Paul leaves Suns-Lakers in first half Paul fell to the… Source link

Perhaps the Los Angeles Clippers should burn sage all across the Staples Center, in their locker room, and extend it to homes and even cars.

Dallas predictably stole home-court advantage with a 113-103 win Saturday,… Source link

As Canelo Alvarez was receiving plaudits from the record crowd at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas, previously unbeaten WBO super middleweight champion Billy Joe Saunders, his vanquished opponent, staggered into the back of an ambulance waiting to take him to a local hospital for an X-ray. “I think I broke his face,” Alvarez said, matter-of-factly. Indeed he did. Alvarez stopped Saunders after eight thudding, crunching, powerful rounds. He landed a counter right uppercut, dropping low and… Source link

BGR This nationwide food brand just recalled every single one of its products When a company has to recall a product it is often pretty serious. That’s especially true when the product is a food item that may contain a harmful pathogen. Typically, just one type of food is affected; a produce company might recall lettuce but still sell tomatoes that are perfectly safe, for example. Unfortunately for Jule’s Foods, a California-based food producer that sells its goods across the country, it has… Source link

The program, known as “Project Bernanke,” wasn’t disclosed to publishers who sold ads through Google’s ad-buying systems.

Major League Baseball (MLB) announced it will host its 2021 All-Star game in Denver this summer, just days after pulling the game out of Atlanta to protest Georgia’s new voting rights bill. “Major League Baseball is grateful to the Rockies, the City of Denver and the State of Colorado for their support of this summer’s All-Star Game,” MLB Commissioner Rob Manfred said in a statement. “We appreciate their flexibility and enthusiasm to deliver a first-class event for our game and the… Source link
