Days later, while I was away on a well-earned respite, the caregiver I hired to stay with my wife (a woman we’ve known for nearly 20 years) spent her time with my wife reading from the Bible, praying over her, and assuring her that Jesus would make her whole if she believed hard enough.
Sunisa Lee, who won three medals at the 2019 world championships, came off both bars — her signature event — and beam. Riley McCusker, a world championship team member in 2018, appeared to injure her left leg on her vault and is being evaluated. McKayla Skinner, an Olympic alternate in 2016 and three-time world championship team member, came off the beam but drilled two vaults in her first meet since a number of health issues, including battles with COVID-19 and pneumonia.
The Cubs took a quick lead in the first on a run-scoring single by Javier Báez off Miles Mikolas, was making his first start since the 2019 postseason after rehabbing from arm surgery last year. The Cardinals tied it on Lane Thomas’ two-out, RBI single in the fifth before Molina’s solo homer gave them the lead for good.
“We had some tough times growing up, and Verndell was real quiet as a result of that, and he basically was trying to find a way to express himself, and he found that through dance,” his sister LaToya Smith, 39, said. “Once he realized that he can affect the life of children by doing his passion, that just motivated him even more to go further with it.”
Mickelson broke away quickly with four birdies in seven holes, and he even managed to avoid losing his focus. One distraction came from the fourth fairway, when Mickelson saw a drone in the air left of the green and said to a CBS spotter, “Can you radio to the TV guys to get the drone out of the flight of my shot?” He saved par from a back bunker.
Pederson, the former Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder who signed a one-year, $7 million deal to replace Kyle Schwarber in left field, pummeled Cactus League pitching but hit the off switch when the season opened April 1. He batted .137 in his first 16 games with a .498 OPS, coinciding with an overall slump by most of the the Cubs regulars.
Boyd-Peoples said “2020 was horrible.” She lost her brother and aunt due to health reasons unrelated to the coronavirus, and she also had back surgery, which was difficult because she couldn’t have anyone at the hospital with her due to the coronavirus-related restrictions. She is on disability leave from her job at Walmart but is looking forward to going back. She received her second dose of the Moderna vaccine Monday, and “now, I’m feeling fantastic, and I’m just glad to be back out in society again.”
But an hour later, the fully COVID-19-vaccinated 59-year-old from Jefferson Park was barefaced and merrily strolling through the crowd of about 70 other fully inoculated people as her favorite music genre — house — blared from the speakers. Hardly a mask was in sight among the audience, which was mostly seated or waiting for beverages. Some, though, got up and shuffled side-to-side in front of the white stage.
“When a guy (like Cole) makes a pitch and it has movement on your pull (side), you’re going to hit it in the ground,” La Russa said. “If he gets it up, you’re going to hit it in the air. But we made the contact. Two different kind of pitchers. The guy (Friday, Jordan Montgomery) was in command of all his pitches, with all his off-speed stuff, kept us off balance.
The memo, sent Saturday morning just a few hours before the postseason opener between Miami and Milwaukee and obtained by The Associated Press, also said that head coaches will have to wear masks during halftime, during warmups and shootaround before the start of the third quarter and postgame. If opposing coaches choose to meet briefly on the court after a game, masks are encouraged.
