How SF Giants’ playoff chances evaporated over disastrous 10-game road trip

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 02:10:32 GMT

LOS ANGELES — When the Giants embarked on this trip 10 days ago, they were firmly in the playoff race.Riding high off a 5-1 homestand, their postseason odds, according to FanGraphs, stood at 47.5%. As recently as the last day of August, their chances were as high as 67.1%. Walked off Sunday night by the Dodgers, 3-2, they had fallen to 0.2% by the time they boarded their charter flight home.It was their eighth loss in 10 games on this disastrous trip, and it played out similarly to many of their previous 78. There wasn’t a pitcher who completed five innings, the little offense they produced came on one swing of the bat, and they left the bases loaded twice, including in the top of the ninth when Mitch Haniger went down swinging.“At the end of the day, I’m just trying to work hard, get better and help the team win, and unfortunately I haven’t been able to come through in situations like that,” said Haniger, whose batting average fell to a career-worst .2...

Estudios y escritores de Hollywood llegan a un acuerdo tentativo para poner fin a la huelga

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 02:10:32 GMT

(CNN) — Los principales estudios de cine y televisión y los escritores en huelga llegaron a un acuerdo tentativo el domingo después de días de maratónicas sesiones de negociación, dijo el domingo por la noche el Writers Guild of America (WGA, por sus siglas en inglés), allanando el camino para poner fin al histórico paro laboral que ha congelado la producción y paralizado gran parte de Hollywood.“Lo que hemos ganado en este contrato –en particular, todo lo que hemos ganado desde el 2 de mayo– se debe a la voluntad de estos miembros de ejercer su poder, de demostrar su solidaridad, de caminar lado a lado, de soportar el dolor e incertidumbre de los últimos 146 días”, dijo la WGA en un correo electrónico a los miembros el domingo. “Es la influencia generada por su huelga, junto con el extraordinario apoyo de nuestros hermanos sindicales, lo que finalmente hizo que las empresas volvieran a la mesa para llegar a un acuerdo”.Si bien el acuerdo aún debe ser ratificado po...

With narrow margin for error, winless Panthers hurt themselves with penalties vs. Seahawks

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 02:10:32 GMT

SEATTLE (AP) — Frank Reich has coached long enough to know his rebuilding and injury-depleted Carolina Panthers had a narrow margin for error while playing at Seattle.After Carolina committed 13 penalties, had no running game and couldn’t get stops in the second half, it’s safe to say Reich’s team didn’t follow his formula for victory.“I don’t think anybody feels like we’ve been outmanned in any game,” Reich said. “We just have beat ourselves. Just have to continue to get better.”The Panthers dropped to 0-3 on Sunday, losing 37-27 to the Seahawks while constantly setting themselves back with penalties.Carolina got a big day from veteran backup Andy Dalton, who threw for 367 yards, and held Seattle to field goals early on. But the Seahawks eventually found the end zone and the Panthers were left to lament their mistakes in a frustrated locker room.“It’s tough because you can’t put your finger on it,” said wide receiver DJ Chark Jr., who caught a 47-yard touchd...

Pinch-hitter Mitch Haniger was the designated runner at second to start the inning. After J.D. Davis struck out, Joc Pederson was intentionally walked by Shelby Miller (3-0). Thairo Estrada hit a fly ball to center that Kiké Hernández lost in the gathering dusk. It fell to his left to load the bases.But the Dodgers got out of trouble with an amazing inning-ending double play. Pinch-hitter Patrick Bailey grounded up the middle, with the ball catching Miller’s arm before the shortstop tagged second and threw to fi...

(CNN Español) — Cuando el reconocido músico uruguayo Luciano Supervielle y su pareja, Eloísa Camejo, esperaban su segundo hijo y realizaban los chequeos de rutina, supieron que algo no iba del todo bien.“Había un problema de percentiles. Sabíamos que Nina tenía algo, pero no sabíamos qué era”, explica el artista en su apartamento ubicado en una cooperativa de viviendas de Montevideo, rodeado de muchos juguetes y libros infantiles, instrumentos variopintos y un piano. El hijo mayor de Luciano y Eloísa es Julián, quien había nacido con síndrome de Down dos años antes. “Entonces, en un principio pensamos que Nina probablemente lo tendría también”, cuenta con serenidad. “Y cuando nació fue una sorpresa encontrarnos con que no”.Lo que tenía Nina era acondroplasia, un trastorno del crecimiento de los huesos de las extremidades, que ocasiona el tipo más común de enanismo. Apenas nació en 2014, ambos padres empezaron a averiguarlo todo, a leer, a tratar de entender qué era y cómo conv...

(CNN) — Six people are dead, including three children, after a train struck an SUV as it crossed railroad tracks in Hillsborough County, Florida, Saturday evening, according to the sheriff’s office.Responders had been left shaken by the resulting scene of carnage, which left the Cadillac Escalade SUV looking “like a soft drink can that’s been smashed,” Hillsborough County Sheriff Chad Chronister told a news conference Saturday.The freight train had been traveling at over 55 mph when it hit the SUV, which was taking seven people to a quinceañera party, Chronister said.Video footage taken from a camera on the front of the train appeared to show the SUV’s driver pulling up to the crossing and driving slowly across, without stopping to look both ways, the sheriff said.The conductor of the train did everything he could to slow down as the vehicle approached, as well as sounding long horns and flashing the train’s lights in warning, he said. A witness parked by the tracks said he also hit...

With the EIB race still open, Dombrovskis weighs his chances

BRUSSELS ― EU capitals are still divided over who should lead the European Investment Bank from next year, prompting dark horses to consider late bids, including European Commission Executive Vice President Valdis Dombrovskis.After a decision at last weekend’s gathering of EU finance ministers was postponed because none of the five applicants got the backing of enough countries, a compromise candidate could come forward if there’s a stalemate, according to people with knowledge of the discussions.While the top contenders remain Spain’s Finance Minister Nadia Calviño and Denmark’s Margrethe Vestager, currently on leave from her post as European Commission vice president in charge of competition, Dombrovskis has not ruled out throwing his hat into the ring if no clear outcome is reached.He has already expressed interest in remaining in Brussels after June’s European election, but might face a challenge domestically to serving a third term within the EU executive from Krišjānis K...
