MIAMI (AP) — NL Cy Young Award winner Sandy Alcantara’s recent rehab setback has ended his season and raised concern about his availability to pitch for the Miami Marlins next year.The Marlins’ ace experienced forearm tightness following his outing with Triple-A Jacksonville Thursday. Alcantara was rehabilitating from a forearm flexor strain that sent him to the injured list Sept. 6. He had hoped to rejoin the club as it contends for an NL wild card spot.“Very frustrating for me, a guy who likes to compete,” Alcantara told reporters before the Marlins played the Milwaukee Brewers Saturday. “I feel sorry for the fans, my family, my son, my friends because I’m not going to be out there this year. Just try to be ready for next year, I don’t know. Stay positive.”Alcantara plans to meet meet with Marlins general manager Kim Ng, manager Skip Schumaker and his agent in the coming days to determine the next steps.“We’ll have a conversation on the decisions we have to make,” Alcantara said. ...

“Kitchen Nightmares” has been off the air for 10 years, and now Chef Gordon Ramsay is bringing back one of his most popular shows to Fox. We caught up with him to talk about the return of the reality show, and Chef promises a season full of exciting revamps and reveals.It would be a dream to have celebrity Chef Gordon Ramsay visit your restaurant. Unless…Chef Gordon Ramsay (on “Kitchen Nightmares”): “This place is a death trap.”That dream turns into a nightmare.Chef Gordon Ramsay: “I launched ‘Kitchen Nightmares’ with Fox in 2007, and then we had seven amazing seasons, and so, to bring it back after a hiatus of 10 years, it’s one of the most popular demanded return shows on the planet. We don’t have many shows on Fox, so, I thought “Kitchen Nightmares” may be a nice edition, but all jokes apart, I think the devastation of what’s gone on in the industry over the last three years has been horrific, so ...

Robert hits 311-foot homer in 9th to snap scoreless tie and give White Sox 1-0 win over Red Sox

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 07:45:35 GMT

BOSTON (AP) — There’s no other ballpark in the majors where Luis Robert Jr.’s 311-foot line drive would have been a home run.Heck, it might not have even gotten high enough to clear Fenway Park’s 37-foot Green Monster in left.But the White Sox slugger’s curving liner found the front row of the right field seats beyond Fenway’s Pesky Pole in the ninth inning of a scoreless game on Saturday to give Chicago a 1-0 victory over the Boston Red Sox.“It was hilarious because he’s got (38) home runs and all that, and then he hits one 311,” said Dylan Cease, who struck out 11 in seven scoreless innings to surpass 200 strikeouts for the third straight season. “Baseball is funny like that sometimes.”Playing in a cold rain, with the wind blowing in at a steady 10 mph, Cease and Boston starter Nick Pivetta matched scoreless innings before both departed after seven. Aaron Bummer (5-5) pitched the eighth for Chicago, walking the first two batters before retiring the he...

Red Sox waste Pivetta’s 7 shutout innings in 1-0 loss

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 07:45:35 GMT

On Saturday, two original American League franchises with losing records played a meaningless ballgame at Major League Baseball’s oldest ballpark, the Chicago White Sox beating the Boston Red Sox 1-0.Indeed, it was a mediocre pair of Sox that faced off at Fenway Park on a rainy first day of fall.The pitchers’ duel, however, was anything but. For seven innings, Nick Pivetta and Dylan Cease shut out one another’s offense. Cease notched his 200th strikeout early on, and finished the evening with 11 punchouts and zero walks. Of course, he had some help from a Red Sox lineup that continues leaving men (10) on base as if they’re allergic to driving in runs; Boston was 0-for-10 with runners in scoring position, stranding six during Cease’s portion of the game, and finished the day with eight hits and nothing to show for them.As the Boston bats took and quickly gave back their chances, Pivetta held down the fort. He needed just 92 pitches to mow down the White Sox, striking out seven and al...

State Police located and arrested a man with a history of driving under the influence they say dragged one of their own during a traffic stop gone haywire.“Twice in a matter of about a week is twice too many.

BC fell to 1-3 and 0-2 and will host Virginia next Saturday at Alumni Stadium.“The lack of execution and loss of one-on-ones and we were uncharacteristic on defense, I’ve never seen us play like that since we’ve been here,” said BC coach Jeff Hafley.“I did not see that coming, we had a great week, upbeat, and I thought we had a very good plan and we just came out flat and didn’t execute. This won’t happen next week, I am very confident in that.”Louisville senior transfer quarterback Jack Plummer shredded the BC secondary by completing 18-of-28 passes for 388 yards and five touch...

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 07:45:35 GMT

There’s a brand-new face on the Massachusetts girls’ cross country and she’s quickly becoming a harrier the rest of the state will have to take notice of.Apponequet senior Hailey Desmarais quietly won her first two dual meets of the season and Saturday ran away from the varsity field in a steady, chilly rain for the win at the Franklin Park Invitational. Desmarais, who took up running last April and already has a 3:17 marathon under her belt, sailed across the finish line in 20 minutes, 42.9 seconds for the challenging 3.1-mile course. That time put her well ahead of Andover’s Rose Kiley (20:31.7) and third-place finisher Julia Davis of Bishop Fenwick (20:31.7).Late to the show in cross country, Desmarais has a number of road race victories under her belt and said she regularly ran 100-mile weeks during the summer.
