Los Angeles Angels outfielder Mike Trout suffered a broken wrist on Monday night, and whether he'll need surgery along with his timetable for return remains up in the air. The three-time AL MVP and 11-time All-Star fouled off a pitch from San Diego’s Nick Martinez in the eighth inning of Monday’s 10-3 loss to the Padres.

He is set to miss his third straight All-Star Game as a result of an injury. “I was really looking forward to it,” he told AP. “It’s frustrating...it’s nothing crazy serious, so obviously I’m going to miss a bit of time, but it’s not season-ending.”  3 Dodgers, 3 Angels elected to All-Star Game Nevin said that the team will get one more medical opinion on Trout’s wrist, but he is being cautious about...

Tom Cruise’s Mission Impossible Run Begins its Reckoning

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 10:24:29 GMT

Tom Cruise runs! Tom Cruise jumps! Tom Cruise drives a motorcycle off a cliff and then opens his parachute! It’s the Tom Cruise show again this summer, which means it’s time for Ethan Hunt to sprint his way through another ballet of bombast, symphony of spectacle and gamut of endearing greatness. Mission Impossible: Dead Reckoning (Part One) is the seventh installment in the franchise and as expected, the movie decides to go big instead of going home as the superstar reportedly plans to say goodbye in Part Two.Written and directed by Christopher MacQarrie, the film brings back numerous characters from the previous entries–including Ving Rhames’ expert, Simon Pegg’s comedic relief and Rebecca Furgeson’s hit women. More significantly, he brings back an emphasis on action. The entire reason we go to these movies is to see Cruise pull off death-defying acts that get crazier as the series goes on. The actor himself partakes in many of these stunts, which is ...

Scott Wiener.BART: Bay Area Rapid Transit; do you see the word “police” there? Yet current and future police expense is one of the largest BART budget line items, and it’s only guaranteed to increase. Keep the police rolling; the trains? Not as important. Transit is essential; BART police are not. When BART opened, it contracted with the cities and counties through which it passed for police services. When BART established its own police department, your property tax didn’t drop.That’s the hook politicians don’t want you to see. The proposed bridge toll hike, scheduled to end in five years, will never end. Never. Politicians’ greed is insatiable. To them, it’s your p...

SAN FRANCISCO — Not even the fireworks could wake up the San Francisco Giants offense this week.The Giants were blanked by Seattle Mariners ace Logan Gilbert on Tuesday afternoon, when the M’s stomped all over the Giants in a 6-0 win in front of 37,395 for an Independence Day celebration at Oracle Park.It marked the fourth straight loss for the skidding Giants.

It’s bound to happen.”They were hoping to see more greatness from Keaton Winn, the 25-year-old rookie right-hander who was making his second career big league start. His first was a beauty: six innings of two-run ball against a tough Toronto Blue Jays lineup. His splitter was electric.Tuesday, Winn’s signature pitch must’ve looked li...

It is unconscionable.There is little accountability with government workers thanks to powerful worker unions that compensate and fire workers on the basis of seniority rather than performance. Rather than do more with less, it’s just easier to ask for more taxpayer money.

HOUSTON (AP) — Rookie Grae Kessinger hit his first career home run and fellow rookie Corey Julks had a career-high four hits to lead the Houston Astros to a 4-1 win over the Colorado Rockies on Tuesday.Julks had a double and RBI after being inserted into the lineup at designated hitter after Jose Altuve was scratched about 90 minutes before the game with discomfort in his left oblique.Manager Dusty Baker said after the game that Altuve was injured during batting practice, but that he didn’t have any more information on his injury. Although Baker didn’t know the extent of Altuve’s injury, he was disheartened to be dealing with another injury in a season that has already been filled with them.“It’s tough to take, but you’ve got to move on,” he said. “You have no choice. You feel terrible, especially for the injured player and for the team, but, you just … say, hey, next man up.”Baker talked about the offense his young players provided Tuesday for a team t...
