“I mean, I’ve done this before, so it’s not new territory,” Sampson said. “It is hard, though, at the same time just routine-wise. But they gave me enough time to prep, and after my last (relief) outing, they gave me a little heads up that this could be a possibility of starting today. And so I just shifted to starter mentality and got my stuff done in between my outings and I kept it normal.”
“I felt more appreciated because I was really down in Arizona,” Jiménez said. “I was frustrated a little bit, and every time some of the guys reached me, it motivated me to come back sooner than later. It felt nice to have that support from your teammates, and that was for me and (Luis) Robert. That’s why we’re here today.”

“If I hear one person talk to me with ‘W-w-w-w-what’s in the vaccine,’ I swear, I might slap them with my phone. I can’t take it. Here’s the reason why, guys. Oh, so the flu shot, chicken pox, all these shots you’ve been taking all of these years. Excuse me, people take supplements and vitamins. Oh, now what we’re trying to say — we’re trying to front. ‘What we do is, we look at the bottle, we dissect every ingredient in the supplement, in the vitamin, and then we Google it, and we look it up’” Smith said mockingly.

Head coaches are evaluated in one area: their record. Nagy got off to a terrific start with a 12-4 season in 2018, when he was named NFL coach of the year. It has been a .500 roller coaster since, and now he has the unenviable task of needing to produce victories while also developing his handpicked quarterback in Justin Fields. If the Bears win while Fields sits, Nagy will be headed down the right path. If the Bears lose, no matter who is at quarterback, Nagy could be in for a bumpy ride. The extra factor in evaluating the coach this year, at least for Chairman George McCaskey, will be the development of Fields. As with all head coaches, the most important factor is how things shape up in the win/loss column. Nagy is signed through 2022, so that makes this a critical season.
That let Djokovic, above all, and everyone else, too, know that Brooksby — a 20-year-old wild-card entry from California who is ranked 99th and never before had been on this sort of stage — belonged. And then, not surprisingly, Djokovic showed why he is who he is and how he’s managed to move within three victories of the first calendar-year Grand Slam in men’s tennis in 52 years.
“He’s one of those guys that can put the barrel on the ball wherever it’s thrown,” Green said. “So you see him (Sunday) where it’s down below the zone and he puts the barrel on it, hits it out of the ballpark. You see 92 mph cutters or 98 mph fastballs up, in, out, down — if you’ve got a hole at this level, they’re going to find it out and everybody’s got some place where they’re not as good as other places.
Even as her teammates chanted “MVP!” during the giddy aftermath, the reserved Maguire did her best to disappear into the background. An Irish flag draped over her shoulders, Maguire truly relaxed only when reunited with identical twin Lisa, one of the few blue-and-white clad supporters on the grounds.
