Harper’s 8th-inning double breaks tie, Phillies rally past Gomber, Rockies 6-3

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 16:33:34 GMT

DENVER (AP) — Bryce Harper broke an eighth-inning tie with a two-run double, Kyle Schwarber hit a two-run homer and the Philadelphia Phillies rallied to beat the Colorado Rockies 6-3 on Friday night for their fourth straight win. Alec Bohm added a solo shot and the Phillies reached .500 despite catcher J.T. Realmuto exiting in the seventh with a sprained right pinkie. Rockies starter Austin Gomber used a dominant knuckle-curve to retire his first 14 batters and faced the minimum 19 until Bohm’s 433-foot solo shot to left field. Three batters later, Schwarber hit a towering 430-foot fly to center on a knuckle-curve to put Philadelphia ahead 3-1. But then Phillies starter Taijuan Walker put the first two batters on in the bottom of the seventh, the first on his wild pitch after striking out Ryan McMahon. Matt Strahm relieved and gave up Ezequiel Tovar’s RBI single and Charlie Blackmon’s sacrifice fly to tie it. C.J. Cron had a sacrifice fly in the sixth off Walker, w...

Por qué el Día de la Madre es el más odiado entre los restaurantes

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 16:33:34 GMT

(CNN) — El Día de la Madre es una de las fechas más ajetreadas para los restaurantes en Estados Unidos. También tiene fama entre los camareros y el personal de los restaurantes de ser uno de los días más agotadores.“Todos los camareros saben que trabajar el Día de la Madre es un infierno. De hecho, si muero y voy al infierno, totalmente imagino que sería como el Día de la Madre. Los 365 días del año”, escribió Darron Cardosa en su libro “The Bitchy Waiter: I’m Really Good at Pretending to Care”.¿Cuándo se celebra el Día de la Madre en Colombia en 2023 y por qué?¿Qué tiene de malo? Desde los grandes grupos que acuden en oleadas (“¡la mayoría estamos aquí!”), pasando por los niños y abuelas quisquillosos con la comida, hasta los dramas por repartirse la cuenta y los que se quedan horas con una sola taza de café, los restaurantes odian estas festividades. Este año se prevé especialmente difícil, ya que la alta inflación y el aumento de los prec...

Severe weather floods basement in Parker

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 16:33:34 GMT

PARKER, Colo. (KDVR) -- Homeowners are dealing with the aftermath of the severe weather that wiped through much of the state.A family in Parker is now struggling to clear water from their basement, now completely flooded. Thursday night, Debbie Osborne said they noticed water pouring in through the basement baseboards in her son’s room. “We’ve seen crazy rain, but it’s never come in the house like this,” Osborne said. “Next thing you know it’s in the hallway, it’s in the other room, it’s coming down the hall, it’s coming from the bathroom. It’s coming in everywhere there was a wall that met the ground. We couldn’t keep up with it.” 2 Eastern Plains drivers rescued from fast-moving floodwater Osborne said they worked through the night trying to keep it from pooling up, using three wet-dry vacuums, tons of towels, buckets and anything they could find.  “We couldn’t make any headway. We hadn’t eaten, we hadn’t taken breaks. We were in socks and our shoes were soaked, so we were cold,...

Smith: More Americans identifying as independent

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 16:33:34 GMT

Since 2004, the number of Americans who identify as political independents has skyrocketed. In the first decade of the 21st century, nearly two-thirds of American voters affiliated with one of the two major parties. Now, this figure is less than half, and there are slightly more political “independents” than either Democrats or Republicans.“It was never unusual for younger adults to have higher percentages of independents than older adults,” Jeff Jones, an analyst with Gallup Polls, told Axios in April. “What is unusual is that as Gen X and millennials get older, they are staying independent rather than picking a party, as older generations tended to do.”The rise in political independents is part of a larger trend. Jones argues that it’s due to a broad “disillusionment with the political system, U.S. institutions and the two parties, which are seen as ineffectual, too political and too extreme.”Axios proposed that antsy, unsatisfied independent voters were the reason that control of...

Simmons: Is ‘Empty the Tanks Day’ in animals’ best interest?

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 16:33:34 GMT

On May 13 and 14, animal rights activists are supporting the release of sea creatures from aquariums into the wild in honor of “Empty the Tanks Day.” While I sympathize with the desire to reenact “Free Willy,” as a former whale and dolphin trainer I know firsthand that releasing them from their current habitats doesn’t usually have a Hollywood ending.While we often imagine an uplifting image of a whale or dolphin swimming off into the sunset and freedom, the truth is much uglier. Marine mammals that have lived long periods, or their entire lives, in professional zoological care are simply not suited to thrive in the wild. Skills that wild animals learn from infancy simply don’t exist for ones from aquariums and zoos. They have never had to hunt, navigate the ocean, or evade predators before.Animals’ lives under human care are comfortable, even pampered, and very different from that in the wild. If returned to the wild their lives may come to an untimely end.Take the stor...

Chasten Buttigieg, who is in Somerville May 17 for his new book “I Have Something to Tell You – For Young Adults” (Atheneum, $18.99), never pursued celebrity.It happened when he married Pete Buttigieg back in 2018 and his husband, now Biden’s Transportation Secretary, ran for president in the 2020 Democratic primaries.“I definitely didn’t see any of this coming,” Buttigieg, 33, said in a Herald phone interview.  “But the thing that I learned when my husband was running was that telling my story was very relatable to other people.”That story, the New York Times bestselling memoir “I Have Something to Tell You,” has now been reformatted “For Young Adults,” basically 7th and 8th graders.“The first book was an incredible process and journey and one of the things that I really wanted to do was to make sure that this story meant something for young people, especially someone like a young Chasten.“I’m rewriting the story for a whole generation of young people who are watching LGBTQ r...
