Two powerful swings by Ian Happ played a key role. Happ homered from both sides of the plate, and Chicago stopped a five-game slide by routing the Miami Marlins 14-2 on Monday night. The Cubs collected 15 hits after scoring three or fewer runs in 10 of the previous 11 games. Kris Bryant and Javier Baez also connected, and Happ finished with five RBIs. “It was nice to see Happy get going again,” manager Joe Maddon said....
Turns out, the Chicago catcher was just getting warmed up. Contreras threw out runners at home and third during a wild fifth inning, and the Cubs rallied for two runs in the ninth to stun first-place Atlanta 3-2 on Tuesday night. “We’ll take it,” Chicago manager Joe Maddon said. This one really stung for the Braves, who were coming off a 6-1 road trip that propelled them to the best record in the National League....

The role of the half-mad Gould is a gift you’d want to give only to the most worthy actor, and Ian Holm does it extravagant justice. This great English actor makes Gould hilarious, scary, tragic, pitiable and exasperating, sometimes all at once. “Joe Gould’s Secret” is the story of his long relationship with Mitchell (Stanley Tucci), whom he loftily refers to as “my biographer.” We react to Gould with much of the complexity Mitchell does: fondness and awe alternating with distaste....
Two-time NBA MVP Curry played through the pain for most of the Warriors’ 129-110 Game 6 victory over the Clippers to seal a 4-2 triumph, but he left the game for a brief period to get additional strapping. He rolled his right ankle with four minutes, 16 seconds left in the first quarter after chasing Clippers guard Landry Shamet and landing awkwardly. Curry still managed to play 38 minutes and finished the night with 24 points, shooting eight of 14 from the field....
As Curry took the court at Barclays Center with his father, Dell, in the Shooting Stars Challenge, he sported a Hornets themed version of his new Stephen Curry One Under Armour shoe. MORE: N.C. State’s Abu pays tribute, too | Curry’s lob pass to Harden | Wins three-point contest | PHOTOS: ASG shoes and fashion Draped in teal and purple, the toe of the shoes had a few phrases inscribed around the toe....
The former Red Sox ace says he just doesn’t think Buchholz has the mettle to be the current No. 1. MORE: Curt Schilling should be in Hall of Fame “Well, I don’t think he wants to be one,” Schilling told reporters Wednesday, via the Boston Herald. “I think there’s a level of commitment mentally and physically you have to have. You have to have a little bit of a dark side, I think, in the sense that losing has to hurt so bad that you do whatever you can do to make sure it never happens again....
From the point of the view of the World Cup, there were concerns from many, especially well-wishers of Indian cricket, about the adverse effect that the IPL might have on the fitness of the World Cup-bound players. The injury scare to Jasprit Bumrah on the very first day of the IPL was, to the relief of many, not a sign of things to come. In fact, it was the same Bumrah who not only survived the grind of the entire IPL season, but delivered when it mattered the most, in the IPL final, and was instrumental in Mumbai Indians clinching a fourth title....
Players of Cyberpunk 2077 will likely notice that the game offers a wide variety of guns and mods. From submachine guns, shotguns, and melee weapons, gamers can set up their arsenal to fit their specific playstyle in Cyberpunk 2077. RELATED: Cyberpunk 2077: How to Get Comrade’s Hammer Iconic Weapon The amount of guns in Cyberpunk 2077 that the game throws at players can seem overwhelming at first, but narrowing it down to brands can prove helpful....
Johnny Silverhand is clearly an important character in Cyberpunk 2077 for several reasons. Not only does he have the second most dialogue in the whole game, but he’s clearly somehow living in the mind of the game’s protagonist, V. The very fact that Keanu Reeves was hired to play him speak volumes as well, but before players can decide whether or not to trust Johnny Silverhand, they must first know who he is....
By picking one of the three life paths, the prologue and opening of the game will be vastly different. It will also impact V’s conversations later on and add a little flavor to the neon-lit Night City. V can start life as a Corpo, a Nomad, or a Street Kid. RELATED: Cyberpunk 2077: Rogue Romance Guide Corpo The Corpo commands respect and is well-acquainted with accumulating vast amounts of money and power....
Unlike Cyberpunk 2077, which will let players control the cyberpunk V, Afterlife will put players in the role of Fixers, who are agents in-charge of dealing with smuggled goods and information, who then recruits cyberpunks to accomplish their work. The Fixers in Afterlife will be responsible for gathering a group of cyberpunks, equipping them with the necessary tools and weapons, and sending them out on missions. For each successful mission, players would raise their Street Cred, which the developer describes as “the only currency that matters” in the world of Cyberpunk 2077....
Although it’s true that many of the bugs and glitches that once plagued the game have now been addressed, Cyberpunk 2077 remains far from perfect and is yet to return to the PlayStation Store as a result. NPC behavior can still be incredibly buggy at times and the occasional physics engine mishaps continue to be a fairly common sight. Perhaps one of the more notable issues, however, involves decapitation, which, even with the most recent patch installed, can have some unexpected and bizarre side effects, as Reddit user Hollewache recently discovered....
Although it has never been confirmed, many believe that Morgan Blackhand was cut from Cyberpunk 2077 early in development. He was an optional “hero” in Cyberpunk 2077’s original character creator, with the two other options being Johnny Silverhand and Saburo Arasaka. These characters could have been different engrams in V’s head if this is true, but these characters were likely cut when Keanu Reeves agreed to play Silverhand. After all, if Reeves is star power in the game, he needs to be that star power for every character....
For those out of the loop, the GoG Galaxy app, a digital distribution platform for video games, leaked Cyberpunk 2077’s trophy list online. Luckily, the list doesn’t reveal any hidden trophies, so there aren’t any major story spoilers to worry about, which means interested fans can pursue it to their leisure. Some have already, and they’ve discovered that one of the list’s trophies acts as a possible easter egg to both John Wick and The Matrix....
Too much homocysteine is toxic and can lead to numerous complications. Cystadane helps lower homocysteine levels by converting it to a less harmful form. Cystadane comes as a powder that you will need to mix with a liquid, such as water, juice, or milk, or food before taking. What Is Cystadane Used For? Cystadane is used to treat homocystinuria. People with homocystinuria have trouble breaking down certain amino acids (the building blocks of proteins) properly....
Czech Republic’s Tomas Berdych and Lukas Rosol beat Switzerland’s Stanislas Wawrinka and Marco Chiudinelli Saturday in the longest ever Davis Cup match, an exhausting clash which took 7 hours and one minute. The 6-4, 5-7, 6-4, 6-7 (3/7), 24-22 Geneva epic surpassed the previous record of 6 hours 22 minutes which John McEnroe needed to beat Mats Wilander 9-7, 6-2, 15-17, 3-6, 8-6 in a tie between the United States and Sweden in 1982....
Chris Odoi-Atsem and Eric Klenofsky were both considered the best prospects at their positions heading into the draft, but neither was the first player chosen at their position. In fact, Klenofsky wound up being the fourth goalkeeper, slipping into the middle of the second round after initially being considered a first-round prospect. For some teams, standing pat just wasn’t going to do, and teams that were aggressive on draft day wound up being rewarded handsomely....
Mark Scoble took to Reddit to share the math problem he found in the book he was reading to his child at bedtime. While it is not the kind of math problem that is going to lead to any sleepless nights, there was something about it that clearly didn’t add up. The reader is presented with a page full of pictures of buzzing bees. The task laid out at the top is simple: “Count these buzzing bees then follow the arrows to write the number....
Stephan Waddell was driving his wife Emily to the hospital when she realized they weren’t going to make it. Stephan pulled over on the side of Interstate 69 where their daughter Reagan was born weighing 7 pounds and 10 ounces on September 12 at mile marker 12. Labor and Delivery While an increasing number of pregnant individuals are opting to give birth outside of hospitals, an estimated 98.5 percent of births occur in a traditional hospital setting....
