Cardinals second-half opener postponed; fans react after disappointing first half ST. LOUIS - The St. Louis Cardinals are back from the All-Star break, but in a rather unfamiliar spot: Last place in the National League Central with a shrinking chances of postseason. St. Louis Cardinals fans returned to Busch Stadium Friday, hoping the team can turnaround a disappointing season. Some fans had cold towels draped over their necks as they entered the gates to the ballpark. Friday's game is postponed until Saturday afternoon due to severe weather. Mayor’s driveway: Expired plates and dealer tags The Cardinals are currently 11.5 games out of first place in the National League Central Division. Making the playoffs is not impossible, but would be unlikely this season.  “They had rough years in the 70s and this year is no different,” said Cardinals fan Chris Peterman. “Ups and downs are a part of major league sports, and I don’t care what team you are. It happens.” President of Baseball Operations John Mozeliak told FOX 2's Martin Kilcoyne that the team is not giving u...

He mostly shut down the New Yorkers for six innings and quieted their fans, who made up the bulk of the sellout crowd of 47,865 at Coors Field.“He had his four-pitch mix working tonight,” manager Bud Black said. “The change was good, a couple of good sliders, he mixed in some curveballs. He pitched great. He was outstanding.”What’s more, Gomber is pitching with some swagger.“Right now, I have a lot more confidence,” he said. “It’s one thing to kind of fake the confidence. When things aren’t going well, you try to tell yourself positive thoughts.“But when you see success and you have good games and when you start stacking them and have a couple of good ones in a row, and you give up a (bloop) double ...

Por qué cerraron la investigación por la cocaína encontrada en la Casa Blanca

Published Wed, 25 Dec 2024 17:54:31 GMT

Por qué cerraron la investigación por la cocaína encontrada en la Casa Blanca El Servicio Secreto anunció el jueves que había cerrado su investigación sobre quién dejó un pequeño paquete de cocaína en la Casa Blanca sin encontrar al culpable, y un portavoz de la agencia le dijo a NBC News que lo hizo sin realizar entrevistas.La agencia, junto con el FBI, analizó el paquete para determinar que era cocaína y buscó huellas dactilares o evidencia de ADN. Pero las pruebas no arrojaron evidencia forense utilizable. Las imágenes de video del área donde se encontró la bolsita tampoco proporcionaron evidencia para reducir a los posibles sospechosos más allá de una lista de aproximadamente 500 miembros del personal y visitantes que pasaron durante un fin de semana a principios de este mes.El portavoz del Servicio Secreto, Anthony Gugliemi, dijo que la agencia determinó que entrevistar a las 500 personas podría ser una carga para los recursos, podría infringir las libertades civiles y probablemente sería infructuoso sin la evidencia física correspondiente que vincule a ...
