It took a few extra innings, but the Astros walked off the Yankees 3-2 in Game 2 of the ALCS on Sunday in Houston, courtesy of a no-doubt Carlos Correa home run in the 11th. It was deja vu all over again for New York; Correa hit a walkoff double in Game 2 of the 2017 ALCS, before the series moved back to New York. The Yankees went on to win all three games at Yankee Stadium before dropping the last two in the series to Houston at Minute Maid Park....

An MLB investigation revealed that Houston engaged in systematic electronic sign-stealing through trash can banging communication and other means in 2017 and 2018, and reporting suggested that methods were first plotted in 2016. Astros manager AJ Hinch and general manager Jeff Luhnow lost their jobs as a result of the findings, as did since-departed coaches Alex Cora and Carlos Beltran with their new organizations, but active players were not punished....

Reagan’s speech at the Washington Hilton was an uninspired appeal for support of his budget proposals. He got just enough applause to satisfy him, and left the hotel at 2:25 p.m., stepping through a side door into gray, damp afternoon light. The usual retinue accompanied him: his doctor, a senior aide (Michael Deaver), three or four Secret Service agents, and James Brady, Press Secretary to the President, a fuzzy bear of a man loping a yard or two behind....

Beijing’s efforts backfired, with the incumbent President winning with over 57 percent of the vote. The will of the Taiwanese people was clear and all freedom-loving democracies should defend its citizens’ democratically chosen path. Beijing’s response to the Hong Kong protests has hardened the viewpoint in Taiwan that China is incompatible with democracy. The “one country, two systems” model, where Hong Kong was promised the retention of its more fundamental rights, lies in tatters....

“Our testing system is failing,” Keisha Lance Bottoms said during an appearance on CBS This Morning. “This is the reason this virus is continuing to spread.

While speaking to demonstrators who called for justice and policy change in light of numerous deaths reported under similar circumstances—Breonna Taylor and Ahmaud Arbery, recently—at the end of May, Shields acknowledged a “recurring” pattern of violence against black individuals by white officers and said reform was in order. “We keep having this over and over,” she said at the time. “The key is training and weeding out bad cops, especially when you see a pattern of bad behavior....

The club had already set a high mark for single game attendance earlier in the season, and tied the league mark for largest margin of victory. Now Atlanta can count an MLS record for season attendance among the club’s many achievements in its first year of existence. Sunday’s match against Toronto FC drew 71,874 fans to the Mercedes-Benz Stadium, a new standalone single match record in Major League Soccer, topping the 70,425 drawn for the club’s match against Orlando City earlier in the season....

Former Real head coach Schuster, who also represented Atletico in his playing days, has a feeling the two Madrid sides will be drawn to face each other in the semis. But if they are kept apart when the last-four draw takes place in Nyon on Friday, he thinks supporters of Diego Simeone’s side would be dreading the prospect of progressing to face Real, who beat them in both the 2014 final and last season’s showpiece....

The duo met in the round of 16 last season, with Atletico Madrid winning the first leg 2-0 only for Juventus to come roaring back in the second leg and qualify for the quarterfinals by virtue of a 3-2 aggregate win. The Italian giants, however, came unstuck against Ajax in the quarterfinals as their wait for a Champions League crown extended to 23 years. Both clubs have undergone major overhauls in the summer, with Juventus spending $84 million on Ajax prodigy Matthijs de Ligt and signed Adrien Rabiot and Aaron Ramsey on free transfers from Paris Saint-Germain and Arsenal, respectively....

… thought the “under siege” angle was such an illogical, short-sighted booking that I’d have sworn Vince Russo was back writing for WWE? With babyfaces and heels from “SmackDown Live” banding together in a surprise attack on various members of the “Raw” roster, I think WWE was going for a memorable “Oh my god, they don’t even work here!” moment ala The Nexus in 2010. But the hotshot angle made such little sense that it came off more like Goldberg randomly turning heel and joining Russo and Eric Bischoff in the New Blood in 2000....

According to a Fox News report published Thursday, former Trump officials claimed the e-commerce giant never extended such assistance during the Trump administration. The senator added that he believed drug companies had the vaccine before the November presidential election and waited until after the election to announce it. “I think, if there had been a Democratic president, they would have announced it before the election,” said Graham. “We met with Trump’s Operation Warp Speed to offer assistance on vaccine logistics and we were redirected to the states....

America is God’s Crucible, the great Melting-Pot where all the races of Europe are melting and re-forming….Germans and Frenchmen, Irishmen and Englishmen, Jews and Russians–into the Crucible with you all! God is making the American! The imagery comes from steelmaking, which was state-of-the-art technology then. The play is “The Melting-Pot,” a phrase that has lived ever since.

This cartel’s not from Sinaloa; it’s on our side of the border. This cartel doesn’t have control of Tamaulipas; it’s trying to control states like Georgia, Texas and others. This cartel is made up of left-wing activists, and instead of threatening businesses and citizens with violence, it’s threatening them with boycotts and economic losses if they dare to support election integrity reform measures. And this new woke cartel is growing, too—most recently, it’s recruiting powerful CEOs to carry out hits against the Texas economy....
