After back-to-back blowout losses, Chicago Cubs must regroup before facing the World Series champion Houston Astros

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 10:28:40 GMT

Chicago Cubs manager David Ross chalked up a blowout loss Saturday to the Minnesota Twins as a clunker, the type that occasionally happens over the course of 162 games.And then Sunday arrived, an even uglier performance in a 16-3 trouncing by the Twins, whose 29 total runs scored against the Cubs set a record for a three-game series at Target Field — a ballpark that opened in 2010.The Cubs needed infielder Miles Mastrobuoni to finish the game on the mound, entering with two outs in the eighth. Just as they walloped the Cubs pitching staff, the locked-in Twins teed off on Mastrobuoni, who allowed four runs on four hits, including a home run, before he recorded the elusive third out.Any hope the Cubs’ series-opening victory Friday would set them up for a strong start to their three-city, nine-game trip was quickly erased over the weekend.Now the Cubs head to Houston, where they must regroup and get back on track against the defending World Series champion Astros.“We ...

Celtics, Al Horford make late adjustments

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 10:28:40 GMT

To get back to the Eastern Conference Finals, the Celtics had to get past the league’s MVP. It was never a sure thing against Joel Embiid.The Celtics let an opportunity slip when they dropped Game 1 to the 76ers, who didn’t have Embiid as he nursed an injury. Embiid returned for Game 2, and though the Celtics still beat him to take a 2-1 series lead, he was still a problem. His dominance propelled the Sixers to a 3-2 lead. Joe Mazzulla had to make an adjustment to limit him, inserting Robert Williams into the starting lineup as the Celtics went big to combat Embiid.It worked. And the Celtics ultimately outlasted Embiid. They wore him down and sent the MVP packing for the summer. While Jayson Tatum received MVP chants all afternoon inside a raucous TD Garden, the actual MVP had his worst game of the series. He was a complete non-factor, finishing with 15 points on 5-for-18 shooting, and committing four turnovers.For the entirety of the series, Al Horford took the challenge. Though he...

He married Elizabeth Brown Jones, who owned the land. Although she legally needed a man to represent her, it was Jones who ensured the house's existence. Thomson was in competition to build the largest house in Glasgow, which he achieved. "There was a competitor, but that house is no longer standing due to a later house fire," said Reckner. "So, I say JST won because he is still standing today."The mansion boasts o...
