“We know what we have to do, we know we’ve got to take care of business,” Sox shortstop Tim Anderson said. “We’ve just got to keep fighting, keep pushing. We fell a little short today, but we competed. We competed at a high level. Things will get better. It’s good to head back home for sure.”
“If he gets us to the American League championship, I’ll admit I was wrong,” Bridgeport native Jay Gonzalez said before Game 1, which the Sox lost 6-1. “But they made it this far last year, too, so how much credit does he deserve for the team’s performance? Prove me wrong, Tony, and I’ll take it back.”

After Morton (0-1) hit Avisaíl García with a 1-2 pitch to start the inning, Tellez ripped another 1-2 offering from Morton over the center-field wall to break a scoreless tie. The hefty, bearded slugger had gone 1-for-13 against the Braves this season until delivering that 411-foot drive.

“Over the past few months, at the commissioner’s direction,” he added of Roger Goodell, “senior NFL executives reviewed the content of more than 650,000 emails, including this email which was sent to a club employee. Earlier this week, the executives presented a summary of that review to the commissioner and are sharing with Raiders executives emails pertaining to coach Gruden.”
The last time Notre Dame played at Lane Stadium was Oct. 6, 2018, and the sixth-ranked Irish left with a 45-23 victory, disappointing the capacity crowd of 65,632. Among those in the crowd was Tyree, then a junior all-purpose back at Thomas Dale High School in Chester, Virginia.
“You could really see guys who were struggling with whatever it was,” he said. “The grind of the season, not playing in front of fans, the daily testing. College kids don’t always love to get up and get a test at 7:30 a.m. every day. When you do that six days a week, it can take a toll. It made you aware, in some cases, your kids go through a lot of things maybe you can be oblivious to.”
“Paul and I were together six of my seven years there,” Bielema said. “There are some comparisons but there are also a lot of differences. The basic core value of run/play action is very similar to where we were, but there are also a lot of unique, new things that pop out when we watch them on tape.”
The 82-year-old former pitcher added to Showalter’s story by saying, “Get a 40-acre field full of ‘em.” What he was trying to say was that any manager would want their team’s farm system to be stocked with guys like Moncada. What he did say was racist. The slavery implications of Kaat’s comments were shockingly obvious, and like Bob Brenly and Jack Morris before him, Kaat delivered his racist rhetoric with an alarming amount of comfort.
