Where: Climate Pledge Arena, Seattle, WA
How to Watch: ION

Storm: Jewell Loyd (Out)
To be precise, this is the second game in 39 hours, after the Mystics mostly dominated the first game late on Friday night after cruising to a comfortable lead in the first half.

The Hunga TongaHunga Haapai volcano in the area of the Tonga Islands in the South Pacific Ocean blew its top in a massive eruption in January 2022.In addition to an enormous plume of gas and debris, the eruption triggered pressure waves that rippled through the entire planet's atmosphere, set off a sonic boom heard as far away as Alaska and unleashed a tsunami that swept over nearby islands.

Gleyber Torres lined the first pitch of the game into left-center for a single, and that was the closest thing the Yankees had to momentum all night.Luis Severino was dreadful in his third start of the season, and the only New York hitters to make an impact were Josh Donaldson and Giancarlo Stanton, fresh off the IL.

The San Francisco Giants were one of the first teams to name their Opening Day starter for the 2023 season, and in doing so surprised no one, handing Logan Webb that duty.With the Yankees on the schedule for the first series of the year, it's as good a time as any to cover the first pitcher Aaron Judge and company will face in 2023.

My favorite thing to do in the world is backcountry snowboarding journeying into the untamed wilderness of alpine hinterlands and gliding down mountains, far from the manicured slopes, lifts, and crowds of ski resorts.Every trip into the backcountry is an adventure into the splendors of nature.Treks take you through evergreen forests, past flowing creeks and frozen lakes.

AAA Sacramento infielder Tyler Fitzgerald (No. 18 CPL), in just his 2nd week since getting promoted, was named the Pacific Coast League Position Player of the Week, while Low-A San Jose utility player Thomas Gavello took home Player of the Week honors in the California League.

At long, long, long last, baseball is here.The San Francisco Giants, who mysteriously are not listing Arson Judge on their active roster, have packed their lucky underwear, traveled across the country, made their final roster decisions, and are now set to take on the New York Yankees, a team that won 99 games a year ago and then promptly stole the Giants best player.

The two Marvel newcomers praised the "Guardians of the Galaxy" makeup team to IndieWire, touting them for making their characters look so strange without sacrificing mobility.The High Evolutionary is a problematic guy.From his use of corporate loopholes to skirt intergalactic regulations against doing eugenics on carrot people to his interest in child trafficking and his belief that he is the closest thing the universe has to God, Chukwudi Iwuji's new Marvel villain has quite a few flaws.

Our way too early look at the 2024 NFL Draft with a full first-round mock draft headlined by Caleb Williams, Marvin Harrison Jr., Drake Maye and more.As one draft goes, so begins draft season for the following year.The 2023 NFL Draft concluded on Saturday and the immediate look is to the 2024 NFL Draft, one billed with superstar talent at the top, particularly with two quarterbacks like USC Heisman-winner Caleb Williams and North Carolina star Drake Maye at the top of the class.

There has been plenty of discussion this spring about the Red Sox starting rotation, especially as it pertains to veterans like Chris Sale and Corey Kluber.On top of that, everyone wants to know whether Brayan Bello - who dealt with an arm-injury scare to open camp - can take the vaunted "next step" in his first full big league season.

Yesterday, Bill published his updated look at Washington's depth chart, accounting for all the players currently under contract, including those recently re-signed to low end deals - primarily back-of-the-roster guys.With the "legal tampering' process opening up tomorrow, and full-fledged free agency starting on Wednesday, I thought it seemed like a great time to scour through the players currently on the roster, and identify the spots most easily upgraded through free agency and the draft over the next couple of months.

How long does sex last, on average?The answer, unsurprisingly, is it depends.Most surveys suggest that the average expectation for how long sex should last is about 30 minutes, which is a lifetime when one considers Alfred Kinsey's famous finding that the average man orgasms within two minutes of beginning sexual intercourse.

A hidden gem in the age of TikTok sounds like an exaggeration, but Minato in Smyrna might be the closest thing.Located off of Spring Road about a half mile from Truist Park, this sushi restaurant resides on the basement level of a strip mall with scant signage.Minato doesn't face the street, instead, it's around the back next to the Golf Depot.

The Game Developers Conference opens this week at San Francisco's Moscone Center, and the gathering is expected to be the closest thing to normal since the pandemic.The attendance is predicted to be about 24,000, below the 2020 mark, but Stephenie Hawkins, director of event production, points to the number of exhibitors and sessions as a healthier outlook.

Jim Irsay just hired a former Philadelphia Eagles offensive coordinator to replace a former Philadelphia Eagles offensive coordinator... History is repeating itself in the AFC South alright, as Indianapolis Colts owner hired Shane Steichen to be the long-term replacement over Frank Reich.After a long and thorough coaching search, Irsay went back to the Philadelphia Eagles coordinator pool to get an up-and-coming offensive mind who just coached in a Super Bowl.

On Day 2 of the 2023 Senior Bowl, the Stanford Cardinal had a pair of draft hopefuls showcase their talents in receiver Michael Wilson and corner Kyu Blu Kelly.MOBILE, Ala.- On a day when receivers were dominant, Michael Wilson stood out.Wilson, a 6-foot-1, 216-pounder out of Stanford, dazzled during practice with the National Team, catching balls from an underwhelming group of quarterbacks.

Caleb Williams is well on his way to being the No. 1 pick in the 2024 NFL Draft.Teams seeing these Cotton Bowl highlights should be tempted to tank.Caleb Williams is a cheat code on the football field.He's the closest thing to Patrick Mahomes that college football has ever seen and he proved it with more outrageous plays in USC's Cotton Bowl loss to Tulane.

New England Patriots linebacker and wanna be general manager Matthew Judon is at it again.A recent tweet of his suggests that the team acquired wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins from the Arizona Cardinals.While the Patriots trading for Hopkins would make sense under the right conditions, no move has been reported so far.

Much like last week, "Player of the Week" is player of the game for the Boston Bruins, who played just once.The Bruins didn't look terrible in their loss against the Washington Capitals.They were generating offensive opportunities and fighting some difficult officiating, but they also struggled with turnovers and seemed to defer to the pass rather than the shot.

Bleacher Report's Zach Buckley believes the Boston Celtics could improve an already league-best outfit with a trade for three specific trade targets - two of them being at the center position and the other satisfying the backup wing gig Danilo Gallinari is unable to due to his late-summer ACL tear.Two of the three targets are actually from the C's most recent opponent, the Phoenix Suns, who own the second-best record in the Western Conference as of this writing.

New England Patriots fans have a long offseason list of wants.Atop those lists, many have noted the need for 1) a new offensive coordinator and 2) an elite perimeter receiver.In his first season operating the offense, Matt Patricia was simply outmatched, ill-prepared, and overwhelmed.This is not the job for him.

It's some cruel irony that the Lakers have seen two separate big men this year flourish in big ways, yet haven't been able to experience the pair of them excelling next to one another.In the early stages of the season, it was Anthony Davis who was putting together historic performances before going down with an injury.

One of my sporting-related dreams is to someday watch a match at any of the tennis Grand Slams, particularly Wimbledon.But since a trip to London will not be happening anytime soon for me, I'll have to content myself with watching the matches on TV (or rather, on streaming).But the other closest thing I can get to it will probably be one of those upcycled products that use anything that was actually used during the competition, like this Bluetooth speaker from hearO.

Pranay Mishra reached down to the floor of his workplace and scooped a handful of what might be the closest thing on Earth to the feel of Martian soil."This is actually unprocessed garnet," he said, sifting the gray granules in his palm.Tiny ruby-colored flecks caught the light.Mixed with diatomaceous earth, a fine powder of algae fossils often used by gardeners, the coarse gray stuff makes a decent substitute for the density and texture of Mars' dirt.

When Bayern Munich hit their midseason blues, manager Julian Nagelsmann dialed back the complexity - with marvelous results.Asking players to focus on one set role paid dividends for the likes of Sadio Mané and Leroy Sané, even if both were shifted from their usual locations at the start of the season.

Bayern Munich head coach Julian Nagelsmann has a predilection for the half-spaces - there isn't a player in the world that he can see and not think, but what if I made him a number ten? Kingsley Coman - check.Alphonso Davies - double check.Leroy Sané?The original masterclass.And the latest?New hero Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting - Bayern's lone box striker profile on the roster, and the closest thing the team has still to a classic center-forward.

The prime minister, Rishi Sunak, has sent his message loud and clear since entering Downing Street last month: education is going to be right at the top of this government's priorities.I was so proud when the chancellor, Jeremy Hunt, singled out heads, teachers, and teaching assistants for recognition in this week's autumn statement, underlining that commitment.

At any bilateral summit, attention is focused on the two leaders facing off across the negotiating table.But the advisers sitting next to President Biden as he met with Xi Jinping, the Chinese leader, on Monday sent a clear signal about who he listens to.On the U.S. side, two cabinet members were there: Secretary of State Antony J.

But "Something in the Dirt" sets itself apart in both form and context: shot during COVID (and with all the restrictions therein), the film follows Levi (Benson), a down-on-his-luck schlub moving into a Laurel Canyon apartment complex while he plans his eventual escape from LA. There, he meets his neighbor John (Moorhead), a fellow lost soul looking for companionship (or something to do).

Ahead of Israel's fifth general election in less than four years, the closest thing to a safe bet is that there will soon be a sixth.Going into the weekend, opinion polls put the coalition led by former Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu ahead of the one led by caretaker Prime Minister Yair Lapid, but neither will muster the 61 seats required in the 120-seat Knesset to form a government.
