Easy peasy, on to Peavy, right? Not quite. There was a moment when things very nearly turned on the Giants in the Fall Classic opener. Thanks to skill, preparation and a little bit of luck, San Francisco got through a dicey third inning before rolling to the victory. A big part of the skill that boosted the Giants was Bumgarner, who got into a second-and-third, none-out jam, then struck out Alcides Escobar and Nori Aoki....
The Bundesliga season resumes this weekend and will be the first of Europe’s top-five leagues to bring back the 2019-20 season. Of course, this will not be football as we know it. Fans will not be able to attend games, while players and officials will have to follow strict guidelines. There is also added pressure on everyone concerned to make the sure the restart goes to plan: players will be expected to hit the ground running after a two-month pause, ground staff will have to keep surfaces up to scratch as warmer weather sets in, and club admins will be on overdrive to satisfy social media users desperate for a football fix....

The studio released its weekly blog post, This Week at Bungie, earlier than usual this week to accompany the announcement of Beyond Light’s new launch date, November 10. A similar delay had also happened last year with Destiny 2: Shadowkeep, however, it was less severe. RELATED: Destiny 2’s Twitch Prime Rewards Program Gets an Extension Perhaps the biggest effect this delayed launch has on the game is that it extends the current season substantially....
Defending champions Zambia must beat revelatory Burkina Faso on Tuesday to ensure their place in the Africa Cup of Nations quarter-finals. Stalemates against Ethiopia and Nigeria have left Herve Renard’s men on two points in Group C, with Burkina topping the table on four and requiring only a draw to see them into the last eight. If the match ends all square, Zambia’s fate is in the lap of the gods, or more precisely in Rustenburg, where Nigeria and Ethiopia face off simultaneously....
Heaton suffered a dislocated shoulder during Burnley’s recent 1-0 win over Crystal Palace and has been ruled out for about four months, meaning he is unlikely to return before the end of the year.

Little did it know that it was opening up its main offseason storylines to unsavory news that has turned bizarre. Instead of talking about offseason testing going into 2015, those in Charlotte heard plenty about the budgetary woes of the NASCAR Hall of Fame. And then it got worse for NASCAR when the Kurt Busch-Patricia Driscoll saga returned to the courtroom earlier this week. Sadly, what should be a serious situation of alleged domestic assault has turned into a circus, with Busch making strange allegations that his ex-girlfriend is a “trained assassin....
It seemed to come naturally. By day, he worked making bets on the Japanese stock market, and he got better at it as he went along. By night, he and his wife, Lisa, like thousands of other newly affluent Yuppies, flitted along Singapore’s lovely riverfront, partying nightly at places like Harry’s Quayside and the 5 Bar. At 28, half a world away from his working-class neighborhood north of London, Nick Leeson was living the life of the modern-day colonialist, working for the storied British firm that had financed the real thing....

Thibodeau also told reporters at practice Wednesday that the former MVP point guard will not play again this season, something the organization has said several times since he went down.

He sat out last year while recovering from surgery to repair a torn anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee....
Points were hard to come by Thursday in the Bulls’ 83-80 home win against the Clippers. Neither team scored more than 26 points in a quarter and there were long droughts of stale play. Yet, Chicago persevered in a playoff-like game that ended its three-game losing skid, which should give the team confidence.

The Canada teenager won a Bundesliga and DFB-Pokal medal last term, but only made his appearances for Die Roten off the bench. However, Davies converted to a left-back this season to ease a defensive crisis that has seen David Alaba play mainly as a centre-back for Bayern. Davies was excelling in the role prior to the suspension of the Bundesliga due to the coronavirus pandemic and will hope to hit the ground running when play resumes, which is expected to happen later this month....
