Marcus Stroman continues to show he’s one of the best pitchers in MLB. Soon, the Chicago Cubs will face a tough decision.

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 03:29:55 GMT

Every start Marcus Stroman makes further complicates a tough decision that awaits the Chicago Cubs next month.The Cubs ended their four-game losing streak Friday night against the San Francisco Giants with a 3-2 victory behind Stroman’s major-league best 12th quality start and Nico Hoerner’s clutch two-run single off the bench in the seventh.“He knows what he wants to do, doesn’t give in, stubborn to what he does well,” manager David Ross said of Stroman. "Every time he takes the bump, and even in the big moments when he knows we need a ‘W,’ he’s really calm out there and continues to perform.”Stroman’s consistency goes back to last season. In his last 21 starts, dating to Aug. 30, the right-hander has allowed two runs or fewer in 17 of his those outings, owning a 2.33 ERA for the lowest ERA in the majors in that span (min. 20 starts).He went 22 consecutive innings without allowing an earned run, which ended in the thi...

Jersey harness racing legend talks Nuggets star Nikola Jokic’s passion for horse racing

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 03:29:55 GMT

It was late April, toward the end of a season that could easily end in a Nuggets championship, and Denver just completed a back-to-back set against the Knicks and Nets. The next game was in Washington D.C., but apparently Nikola Jokic first needed to scratch an itch.So according to a friend and fellow horse-racing enthusiast, Jokic called a superstar audible on the team’s travel plans.“They were taking the train to Washington and he made them wait three more hours so he could work with horses,” Tim Tetrick told the Daily News. “I joked to him, ‘So you’re like Dennis Rodman. You got to get your fix.’”As Tetrick understands well, Jokic’s cravings aren’t nearly as destructive as Rodman’s famous Vegas escapades involving booze and Carmen Electra. Jokic, increasingly recognized as the best basketball player on the planet, is hooked on horses. Specifically, race horses.The passion led to a connection with Tetrick, 41, a Hal...

One of 2 giant ducks in Hong Kong’s Victoria Harbor deflates

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 03:29:55 GMT

HONG KONG (AP) — One of the two giant inflatable ducks floating in Hong Kong’s Victoria Harbor deflated on Saturday, just a day after they were unveiled to revelers. Crowds of residents and tourists flocked in the scorching heat to the promenade near the government headquarters in Admiralty to snap photos of the ducks by Dutch artist Florentijn Hofman. But many who arrived in the afternoon only found one duck intact, with the other reduced to a puddle of yellow plastic. Organizers said their staff found one of the ducks was overstretched due to the hot weather and rising air pressure. “It was decided that the air needed to be immediately released by loosening the seams to avoid any potential risk,” they wrote in a post on social media. They said the duck would be transferred back to the shipyard for repair. The two 18-meter (59-feet) -tall yellow ducks resemble the bath toys. In 2013, one of Hofman’s ducks was displayed in the city and sparked a frenzy. But that duck was...

Sainted & Tainted: A lot of Saints on that rainy day in May

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 03:29:55 GMT

SaintedThere were a lot of Saints at the St. Paul Saints baseball game on Friday, May 5.After a few innings, the skies opened up and it started to rain heavily. I hurriedly paid for my beer, got my rain poncho on and scrambled for cover. The game was eventually called for rain. Just as I got home, my cell phone rang and it was Gina with the Saints. She said that two Saintly boys approximately 12 years old had found my soaking wet coin purse with my driver’s license, debit card, and cash and turned it in. Because I’m a season ticket holder, Gina immediately recognized my name, found my phone number, and called.Saintly Gina waited for me at the gate while I drove to CHS Field to retrieve my purse. Unfortunately, I don’t know the identity of the Saintly boys but, hopefully, they (or their parents) will see this Sainted column and my big THANK YOU to them and Gina! I love the Saints and my Saintly community.Anne Hunt, St. Paul SaintedLast month I was out shopping at the Turns...

Here are the 10 bills Gov. Jared Polis vetoed this year

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 03:29:55 GMT

Gov. Jared Polis vetoed 10 bills this year, more than year of his governorship. They covered a wide range of policy topics, from gambling to driver’s licenses.Some were contentious. Others were relative minnows that passed the legislature with little acknowledgement. None will become law.Here are those 10 bills and why Polis rejected them.WolvesBrought by a group of Western Slope legislators, SB23-256 would’ve delayed the reintroduction of gray wolves until the state receives a specific federal authorization. That process is already underway, and critics worried that the bill, if signed into law, would further delay it.Polis agreed and said the bill risked undermining the will of the voters, who approved wolf reintroduction in 2020.ClemencyThe sponsors of HB23-1214 hoped to standardize the process for inmates who apply for executive clemency. The bill would’ve put specific processes into statute and required more transparency to those awaiting updates on their case...
