“It’s concerning enough that we’ll take new images of that area and try to figure out what is going on,” manager Scott Servais told reporters (via the Seattle Times). “It wasn’t one pitch. After the second inning, he said this doesn’t feel right and he shut it down.” The right-hander was scheduled to throw 50-60 pitches Friday, but left the minor-league start after only 31 with what was described initially as shoulder fatigue....

However, not even the CEO of the Red Sox can control the weather. Lucchino told the Boston Herald the ballpark will be ready on April 13 for its opener “Unless we get another month of snow.” However, Fenway Park grounds chief Dave Mellor has this to deal with: The photo, snapped two weeks ago by The Weather Channel’s Jim Cantore, shows the stadium buried under at least three feet of snow....

Though the final report won’t be available until November of this year, the preliminary findings reveal a downward pattern that worries many sportsmen: over the last 15 years or so, millions fewer people have been hunting and fishing in a country with a rapidly expanding population. There are countless reasons for the trend, chief among them urbanization and changes in America’s rural culture. Video games and cable television vie for the attention of young kids, and their parents can’t find the time or gain access as readily to the nation’s rapidly disappearing hunting fields and fishing holes....

Problem is, I kept reminding myself, there’s no such thing as a static “at-large worthy resume.” What might have been worthy last year has zero bearing on what’s worthy this year. The task the selection committee has is to find the best 36 at-large resumes each year, whether it “feels” like there are just 30 or whether it “feels” like there are 45 worthy resumes. MORE: Which bubble teams have the most to prove?...

Refrigerate the marinated salmon for at least 2 hours, and no more than 4. Turn occasionally to mix things up. For a charcoal grill, heap the coals to the side so you have a hot area and a warm area.

Never interrupt because it can appear as though you do not value what is being said....

This hardware will make your picture more sturdy, and it will be much easier to hang this way. You can also knock on the wall to find a stud. If you knock and it sounds hollow, there’s no stud there.

A flag displayed with the union on the bottom is a sign of distress. It’s acceptable to hang other flags at the same height as the American flag as long as they’re on the correct side. If you don’t want to keep a room’s overhead light on, you can set up a spotlight to illuminate the flag. Don’t pierce the flag itself with nails. They would damage and disrespect the flag....

Trainor, a devout Catholic and an appointee of President Donald Trump, made the comments in two recent interviews with Religion News Service (RNS) and Church Militant, a right-wing Catholic news outlet. “What we see going on around the country is complete anarchy in places where the rule of law has been completely abrogated,” Trainor told RNS. “So it is a spiritual war in that it is striking at the underlying foundations of our constitutional republic....

Federer looked to be easing towards the last four after taking the opening two sets against the eighth seed, and even had match point at one stage in the third. But Anderson survived the scare before incredibly turning the match around, eventually emerging victorious from an absorbing battle of wills as he prevailed 2-6 6-7 (5-7) 7-5 6-4 13-11. The victory saw him become only the third man to come from two sets down to beat Federer, following in the footsteps of Jo-Wilfried Tsonga and Novak Djokovic, leaving the Swiss to ponder how he allowed the defence of his title to come to an end....

The Swiss great proved to be in a class of his own on Centre Court yet again, becoming the first man to be crowned champion at the All England Club eight times with a 6-3 6-1 6-4 victory on Sunday. Federer eased to his 19th major title without dropping a set – the first man to achieve that feat since Bjorn Borg 41 years ago – and goes down as the oldest male to win Wimbledon just a few weeks before he turns 36....
