Yankees’ Aaron Boone suspended 1 game by MLB for conduct toward umpires

Published Mon, 16 Dec 2024 19:03:36 GMT

NEW YORK (AP) — Yankees manager Aaron Boone was handed a one-game suspension following his latest ejection and admitted his arguments may have created an image in the minds of umpires.“Well, I think I’ve earned that reputation,” he said Friday before Major League Baseball suspended him for one game and fined him.Michael Hill, MLB’s senior vice president for on-field operations, made the announcement. MLB said the discipline was “for his recent conduct toward major league umpires, including the actions following his ejection from Thursday night’s game against the Baltimore Orioles.”Boone was forced to sit out Friday night’s series opener against San Diego.He was ejected for the major league-high fourth time this season, the most among big league managers, when he became angry with Edwin Moscoso’s strike zone during a 3-1 loss. Boone held up four fingers while arguing in the middle of the third inning, signaling Boone thought the plate umpire missed four pitches. Boo...

Debt ceiling deadline now days June 5, scrambling Biden-McCarthy talks on deal

Published Mon, 16 Dec 2024 19:03:36 GMT

WASHINGTON (AP) — Upending debt-ceiling talks with time running short, the government announced a new June 5 default deadline late Friday, dragging the White House and Republicans toward another week of cliff-edge negotiations over cutting spending and raising the nation’s legal debt limit.The new date, set out in a letter from Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen, came with Americans and the world already highly concerned about U.S. brinkmanship.In a blunt warning, Yellen said failure to act by the new date would “cause severe hardship to American families, harm our global leadership position and raise questions about our ability to defend our national security interests.” Anxious retirees were already making contingency plans for missed checks, with the next Social Security payments due next week.The new deadline, a week from Monday, is four days later than earlier expected. Yellen said all “extraordinary measures” Treasury has resorted to would be exhausted.The sudden announceme...

La celebración del gol de Cristiano Ronaldo contra el Al-Shabab se vuelve viral

Published Mon, 16 Dec 2024 19:03:36 GMT

(CNN) — El célebre futbolista portugués Cristiano Ronaldo, que ha marcado cientos de goles en su carrera, los celebra siempre corriendo hacia el banderín de la esquina para realizar su icónica celebración “Siu”, haciendo piruetas en el aire antes de aterrizar en posición de fuerza.Pero después de marcar un gol decisivo para su club saudí, el Al Nassr, en la victoria por 3-2 contra el Al-Shabab, Ronaldo lo celebró con un gesto similar al que se suele hacer en el país árabe que lo acoge: una “Sajdah”, la inclinación o postración baja que suelen hacer los futbolistas musulmanes después de marcar.Tras el gol de la victoria —al que los medios de comunicación saudíes calificaron como “su mejor gol desde que llegó a Arabia Saudí”—, Ronaldo se inclinó hacia el suelo rodeado de sus compañeros del Al Nassr, que vestían camiseta amarilla y que lo animaron junto a los aficionados presentes en el estadio.Su gesto se hizo viral en las redes sociales, provocando...

Idle Nuggets hold light practice, waiting for Celts and Heat to decide NBA Finals foe

Published Mon, 16 Dec 2024 19:03:36 GMT

DENVER (AP) — Denver Nuggets guard Bruce Brown has been using the long layoff before the start of the NBA Finals to work on his game — his golf game.“First day of golf I played pretty well,” Brown recounted. “The second day was terrible.”On Friday, it was back to the business of Brown hitting the shots he hits the best — jumpers — as the Nuggets returned to the court for a light practice. Game 1 of the franchise’s first appearance in an NBA Finals is still nearly a week away and their opponent has yet to be determined, with Boston and Miami heading into Game 6 of its Eastern Conference finals series. The rest has certainly been welcome. The rust, though, does become a concern. “It’s impossible to keep your rhythm if you’re not playing games,” Nuggets coach Michael Malone said. “You can do whatever you want in practice, but there’s no way you can replicate playing in an NBA playoff game.”The Nuggets celebrated sweeping the Los Angeles Lakers on the plane ride ...

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. (AP) — Los Angeles Dodgers ace Clayton Kershaw was set to start Saturday against the Tampa Bay Rays after being activated from the bereavement list Friday.Kershaw went on the list Monday following the death of his mother, Marianne Tombaugh. The left-hander took the loss Sunday at St. Louis to fall to 6-4, allowing four runs over 3 2/3 innings.“I talked to Clayton a little bit today,” Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said. “He certainly feels much better than he did the last couple starts. There is some kind of overall body fatigue, the ball wasn’t coming out well, so he’s in a considerably better spot going into tomorrow.”Also, Julio Urías, the Los Angeles left-hander who left his start May 18 after three innings because of a strained left hamstring, was scheduled to throw off a mound Saturday.“Everything I’ve heard, he’s trending in the right direction,” Roberts said. “He’s going to throw a bullpen tomorrow, and so after that then we&#...
