Hi there 🤖 👋

Turns out, Sale was just as dominant as ever — maybe even more so. Sale celebrated his return by striking out 12 in five shutout innings of one-hit ball, and the Red Sox moved 50 games over .500 by completing a sweep of the lowly Baltimore Orioles with a 4-1 victory on Sunday. Sale (12-4) was placed on the DL on July 28 with left shoulder inflammation. Judging by his performance, the injury is no longer an issue....

Samkova beat British rider Charlotte Bankes on Friday in the women’s final, with Michela Moioli of Italy taking third. A five-time winner in the event at worlds, Jacobellis of Stratton Mountain, Vermont, didn’t make it out of the semifinals. She won the small final to take fifth. The 25-year-old Samkova earned Olympic snowboardcross gold at the 2014 Sochi Games and bronze last February in South Korea when Moioli took first....

Samper’s departure from Barca was announced on Monday with the leaders of LaLiga agreeing to cancel his contract. The midfielder’s career has been wrecked by injuries and he has made just a single appearance across all competitions for Barca this season. And Samper feels a switch to J1 League where he will reunite with Barca icon Iniesta could be the kickstart he needs. “Andres was key, he told me several times that it was a good place,” Samper told a farewell Barca news conference....

Salt and Sacrifice: Varren Ovrin Farm Location Players that are attempting to farm the Venomancer in Salt and Sacrifice should begin at the preliminary spawn point in Ashbourne Village.

Not since the “Donny & Marie” show will Mormon values be on such public display. For a religion so devoted to missionary work, the Olympics would seem a dream come true: the world is coming to Zion. In a July speech to church members, Mormon President Gordon B. Hinckley spoke of the Winter Games in theological terms–the realization of Brigham Young’s prophecy that “kings and emperors and the noble and wise of the earth” would one day visit his city....

Berns, a Foxborough, Mass., high schooler who become the public face of progeria, died Friday in Boston. He was 17. Progeria is a genetic disorder that results in rapid premature aging. Only a few hundred people have the disease, which leads to hair loss, stunted growth, joint deterioration and cardiac problems. Those who suffer from it rarely live past 13. Berns' parents are doctors, and started the Progeria Research Foundation after his diagnosis in 1999....

“I think that’s pretty easy to say,” the 35-year-old added. Considering the USWNT has been the best national team in the world for some time now, winning the last two World Cup titles, it’s no small compliment to be called its best player. Manchester City fans would not disagree with Rapinoe, either. Since arriving in England in the summer, Mewis has scored six goals and generally dominated in midfield. One of those goals was a bullet header in November’s Women’s FA Cup final, which was significant in her collecting her first piece of silverware with the club....

Woods doesn't take winning for granted, even if others don't appreciate how difficult it is....

Zayn is a great wrestler with over the top moves and his rivalry with Kevin Owens who also has a similar background was a treat to watch. Zayn started the year by defending his NXT Championship against Neville. He lost the title after 62 days to Kevin Owens. Zayn made a brilliant main roster debut after answering John Cena’s US Championship Open Challenge and came mighty close to winning the belt from Cena....

The Canadian sensation, during the early days of the Attitude Era, was a hero in his home country. However, after adding an anti-American stance to his character, The Hitman was showered with boos whenever he was in the States. Sportsnet recently released a feature on the WWE Hall of Famer entitled “Oral History: How Bret ‘The Hitman’ Hart became the Excellence of Execution”. They interviewed Sami Zayn for the feature where he expressed his desire to modernize Hart’s popular WWE storyline in 1997....

The loss means reigning champions Bayern Munich can move level on points with Dortmund at the league summit if they beat Borussia Monchengladbach on Saturday. Lucien Favre’s side have now won just once in their last five games and Sammer has warned Dortmund’s players that they need to change their mentality swiftly if they are to win a first Bundesliga title since 2012. “Because they have already been German champions, there are expectations on Dortmund,” the 51-year-old told Eurosport....

In a recent announcement, Samsung said it will be shaving $250 from the original price, bringing the Galaxy Z Flip down to $1,199.99. While the price drop does look quite generous, it’s still quite a bit more expensive than the new Apple iPhones which were selling for just under $1,000 when they were launched late last year. It’s also much more expensive than Samsung’s own Galaxy S20 FE 5G, which is priced at just $700....

CES is an annual event where many of the coming year’s most exciting products are showcased, although the convention in 2021 was online only due to the coronavirus. But many major announcements came out of CES last year, including new 8K TVs, smaller screen OLED smart TVs, mobile processors, graphics cards, and more affordable 5G smartphones. RELATED: Intel’s Upscaling Technology Demonstrated in Hitman 3 Like many companies, Samsung has gotten a head start on the official launch day of CES by releasing a press release to announce some of the new tech that consumers can expect to see at the convention this year....

Nevertheless, the Spurs are once again facing an uphill battle to qualify for the playoffs in a crowded Western Conference, and the roster has scarcely improved after another quiet offseason.

So, as the 2019-20 season quickly approaches, here are three free agents that San Antonio could consider signing....

By Ryan Rodriguez I took a break from the NBA playoffs last night to take in the nearly four-hour NFL draft extravaganza, hoping to see the Niners trade up for my favourite player in the draft, Odell Beckham, Jr., or possibly Darquez Dennard or Kyle Fuller. We all know now that no trade took place for the Niners, but in drafting Jimmie Ward, they didn’t drop the ball on a head scratching pick either....

The wedding took place at San Francisco’s SS Peter and Paul Church in early July, according to a San Francisco Chronicle report published Monday.
