Then the San Francisco Giants ace and three-time world series champion added another for good measure. In the fifth inning of Sunday’s opener, Bumgarner took Arizona Diamondbacks starter Zack Greinke deep to left centre field on a fourth-pitch fastball in his second at-bat, the 15th home run of his career. In the seventh inning, Bumgarner became the first pitcher ever to hit two home runs on opening day. The history-setting shot was a 395-blast to left field off reliever Andrew Chafin....

There is this terrible rumor going around that most people want to do something really stimulating, really generous or really entrepreneurial once they leave their jobs. Supposedly no one wants to retire to sit around and do nothing. Except me, that is. The absence of any ambition on my part is unfortunate since I will not be rich when I retire, which will probably be in a few years. I’ve worked for the City of New York all my adult life, teaching, writing grants for schools and now, heading up the city’s grants office....

Destiny is currently celebrating its holiday event, The Dawning, which has shown to be a major improvement over the game’s lackluster Halloween event. It appears that Bungie is merely doing the same, enjoying the holidays. “We’ll get back to business as usual once the eggnog leaves our blood,” Bungie wrote. As for what’s coming around the bend, Bungie assures fans that the company will continue to chug along. The company promises to bring new content to players as soon as its available....

The studio announced that it has banned Destiny 2 players using aim-bots to give themselves an advantage. Bungie wrote on Twitter, “Our security team has taken action today [October 3] and issued a wave of bans targeted at players attempting to use aiming cheat tools.” This should make engaging in PvP much more satisfying and fair. While Bungie is doing what it can to clean up the game, players are still encouraged to report those who may be in violation of the rules....

Bungie took to Twitter to announce a special Destiny 2 Showcase event taking place on Tuesday, August 24. Bungie made the announcement with an image that shows The Witch Queen logo along with the phrase “Survive the truth” with no additional context. Bungie didn’t even reveal what time the Destiny 2 Showcase event will take place, so it seems fans will need to hang tight to find out exactly when they should be tuning in come August 24....

It’s no secret that Destiny 2 has hit its stride once more with the big Witch Queen expansion pack, but now that Bungie is backed by Sony’s multimedia powerhouse, it’s interested in doing non-game Destiny projects as well. Specifically, the company is now looking for a Senior Linear Media producer: a specialist that would work on non-interactive Destiny media and drive it forward.

Many will be interested to see what new franchises Bungie presents, particularly after the somewhat mixed reception of the Destiny games. The series had a difficult time partly because of the shadow that the Halo series cast and also because of the issues that surround games as a service. For players who would like the developer to leave this business model, they may be disappointed despite what looks set to be a change in style for the company....

Lightfall is the next major expansion for Destiny 2 and will see guardians venture to Neptune to explore Neomuna, a hidden metropolis that has remained untouched by the previous conflicts engulfing the rest of the Sol System. However, its discovery by The Witness and his newest disciple, Calus, will prompt players to join Neomuna’s defenders, the Cloudstriders, in pushing back the invasion and keeping The Witness from its goals. Players will also be able to unleash Strand, a new Darkness power at their disposal in the battle to save Neomuna and the Sol System....

This much was revealed in a new Bungie blog post, with the developer stating that its “long-term goal is to become an entertainment company that sustains many worlds simultaneously,” with NetEase’s “industry expertise” helping such a dream become a reality. The developer didn’t provide specific details about the new project to come, but it did state that the Chinese Internet tech firm will assist in the “support [of] separate teams inside Bungie to bring our newest ambitions to life....

Manchester United (4th, 38 points) travels to Turf Moor to take on Burnley (20th, 13 points) looking to strengthen its hold on fourth place in the Premier League table. It won’t be easy, matching up against one of the league’s most stout defenses, a side which is fighting for its Premier League life. While United is looking over its shoulder, knowing any slip could allow one or more of the four teams behind it to overtake the Red Devils, Burnley is looking ahead, safe in the knowledge that three points would move it not just off the bottom but out of the relegation zone altogether....

Gernot Rohr included the Bursaspor defender in his 28-man squad that will face the European sides in World Cup 2018 tune-up games slated for March. The three-time African Champions will trade tackles with Adam Nawalka’s side at the Stadion Miejski in Poland on March 23, and four days later, they slug it out with Serbia at the Hive, London. The former Anorthosis player has made 18 appearances for the Super Eagles since his debut against Mali....

Barca were crowned champions for the seventh time in the past 10 campaigns as Lionel Messi scored a hat-trick to inspire a thrilling 4-2 win at Deportivo La Coruna on Sunday. It is a triumph that has, for the most part, had a certain inevitability about it, but Atleti could have closed the gap to within two points had they won last month’s meeting at Camp Nou. Messi was again the hero on that occasion, though, and Busquets believes the 1-0 win was crucial to Barca’s 25th LaLiga title....

The Timberwolves slipped to 4-9 on Friday with a 121-110 defeat to the Sacramento Kings, bringing an end to a five-game winless road trip. Butler’s trade request amid a falling out with members of the team meant Minnesota started the season under a cloud, and Derrick Rose suggested a change in attitude towards feedback is needed after their latest setback. “It’s about understanding one another and having that chemistry where you could give someone good or bad criticism,” Rose said....

Butler is an NCAA Tournament team. The Bulldogs aren’t there yet. They misspent too much of the season trying to solidify an identity, a formula, but committing to Jones as the primary point guard has helped to stabilize a defense that had been too pliable. MORE: Field of 68 projections Butler’s resume still has some minor issues: only a single top-25 win, that over Purdue back in December. Seton Hall is only ranked in the 30s, so the season sweep gives the Bulldogs a total of four top-50 wins....

McLaren has been struggling to keep up since the beginning of the year, with both their cars falling short of the points in Canada. Button has scored all of 25 points, which is the same amount that he acquired after just one race last season, and is distressingly stuck in the tenth position in the driver’s championship. But in spite of his unfavorable situation, he is still optimistic about his chances of winning later this year....

It was announced on Tuesday that the four-time F1 world champion will not remain with the Scuderia beyond this year. Vettel denied money was the reason for his departure, stating the two parties had “no common desire to stay together.” Button clearly thought Vettel might sign a new deal with the Italian team he joined from Red Bull in 2015. Brit Button, the 2009 F1 champion, believes the 32-year-old would be a big loss to the sport if he quits....

It was very evident the eccentric American had not been putting his feet up when the PGA Tour resumed in June following a three-month hiatus because of the coronavirus pandemic.
