Oliver Marmol wanted a bagel on Saturday morning.This is New York, so it should have been easy to get one.But this is also 2023, and Marmol manages the St. Louis Cardinals.Nothing comes easily.It didn't work out, Marmol said.The line was outrageous.The door guy at the hotel said to just skip the line and walk in.

Road House: The Play! is funny.It's the sort of funny that makes you repeatedly punch the arm of the person next to you.Did they see that slow motion motorcycle scene played out on an office chair?Did they hear the narrator say, "open palm wiener slap?"The spoof adaption-co-written by Siren Theater owner Shelley McLendon and author Courtenay Hameister-ofa similarly-named Patrick Swayze film, Road House: The Play! tells the story of Dalton, a professional bouncer hired to clean up the fighting-est little club outside Kansas City.

Red Sox COMMENTARYThese sorts of weekends are the ones that get the conversation flowing.When Red Sox manager Alex Cora yanked Kiké Hernández from the starting shortstop slot earlier in the week, he offered the sort of disorganized quote befitting a team still trying to prove itself something more than mediocre.

The goal of All aTwitter is to give readers a handy spot to check the Washington Commanders beat writers & bloggers, national sports journalists, and football fans in order to keep up on the latest news and opinions about Washington, the NFL, and sports in general, along with a smattering of other things.

Washington Commanders offensive coordinator Eric Bieniemy observes wide receiver Terry McLaurin during an OTA session on May 31.(John McDonnell/The Washington Post)During offseason workouts, as the Washington Commanders have installed their offense, a few things have become clear.Assistant head coach/offensive coordinator Eric Bieniemy demands pace and precision, the staff is all-in on quarterback Sam Howell, and the playbook seems full of strategies designed to unlock the team's formidable group of skill players.

... One thing I want him and not just him, but all of us is we're in this together.The Washington Commanders completed their 6th day of OTAs practices today, and new Assistant Head Coach/Offensive Coordinator Eric Bieniemy got the chance to talk about it with the media.Sam Howell is a very competitive kid, but he is steady, and knows how to autocorrect himself.

If you came here in search of speed, you are very much in luck.Kansas City just introduced an elite base-stealer to the fantasy conversation...Under normal circumstances, we probably wouldn't mention a 30-year-old outfielder getting called up to join a struggling team, but Blanco is different.First of all, he was hitting .347

The Dodgers have gotten out of the gates cold in June.After a week that saw them finish 2-5 with series losses to the Reds and Phillies - and fall firmly behind the Arizona Diamondbacks in the NL West race - the verdict for LA couldn't be good.It wasn't.The Dodgers fell to No. 6 in MLB.com's latest Power Rankings and sit one spot behind the surging Diamondbacks, who jumped Los Angeles to No. 5.

Getty Images Conditions for first-time home buyers looked different in the first quarter of 2023 compared with one year before, but they hadn't necessarily improved.Across the country, while active listings in the first quarter fell from the previous quarter, they remained significantly higher than a year ago, and asking prices held relatively steady.

The 2023 James Beard Awards took place Monday night in Chicago, and gave high regards to chefs and restaurants around the country.The organization said about 1,500 people attended the ceremony, hosted by chefs Eric Adjepong, Esther Choi, Andrew Zimmern and Top Chef judge Gail Simmons.The James Beard Foundation has recently outlined a new ethics code for nominees.

Chris Unger/Getty Images / Realtor.comTwo-time Super Bowl winner Patrick Mahomes recently listed one of his Kansas City, MO, homes for $2.9 million.The superstar quarterback signed a 10-year, $450 million contract with the Kansas City Chiefs in 2020.Thanks to those riches and his endorsement deals, Mahomes has built a mini real estate empire, which includes a few properties in Missouri and a mansion in Texas.

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Ja'Marr Chase continues the team's feud with the Kansas City Chiefs by throwing shade at quarterback Patrick Mahomes.There is a new heated rivalry in the NFL, and it's between two AFC powerhouses, the Kansas City Chiefs and Cincinnati Bengals.From the Bengals calling Arrowhead Stadium "Burrowhead Stadium," to the Cincinnati mayor Aftab Pureval throwing multiple shots at the Chiefs, to tight end Travis Kelce calling Pureval a "jabroni" after their AFC Championship Game win.

We can probably cross off two teams from the DeAndre Hopkins sweepstakes at this time.With former Arizona Cardinals wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins still a free agent, don't expect for contending teams like the Dallas Cowboys and the New York Giants to drop whatever they are doing and sign the former All-Pro.

Matt Nagy knows how important it is for the Kansas City Chiefs to have Patrick Mahomes and Kadarius Toney further develop their rapport this offseason.One of the better mid-season acquisitions made last year was the Kansas City Chiefs adding former Florida standout Kadarius Toney to their robust receiving corps.

Patrick Mahomes does stuff like this all the time for the Kansas City Chiefs, so it was only a matter of time before he showed off his ridiculous throwing motion in front of Kansas City Royals fans.For those who don't remember, Patrick Mahomes was an incredible high school baseball player.He was a middle infielder and had a promising MLB career.

The Angels have an unmistakable resiliency, proven by their three recent road wins over the first-place Rangers and wins in nine of their last 11 games.Yet, as the Angels close in on the midway point of the season, their depth is being tested again by injuries.They lost Zach Neto to an oblique strain and then watched Anthony Rendon and Gio Urshela get banged up during Thursday's 5-3 win over Texas.

Zach Neto has continued to impress in his first season in the major leagues.The Angels shortstop logged his first career multi-home run game Sunday in a 9-4 win over the Seattle Mariners at Angel Stadium.Both of his home runs were solo shots that made their way well over the left-field wall.

Matt Zinchuk was worried.In three decades, his mom rarely missed a piano lesson.And yet, on that Monday evening in May, with students waiting at the family's Champaign home, Amy Zinchuk and her husband Michael were nowhere to be found.He called his sister, Elizabeth, in suburban St. Louis."Hey, did mom and dad leave yet?"
Elizabeth started to panic.

After falling, 6-5, to the Miami Marlins Sunday, June 11 at Guaranteed Rate Field, the host Chicago White Sox record dropped to 29-38 in the American League Central.The three-game series with the Marlins, which started on a positive note, a 2-1 Sox victory, ended with two Sox late-game collapses, a bad send off to West Coast games this week against the Los Angeles Dodgers and Seattle.

White Sox closer Liam Hendriks has been sidelined by elbow inflammation after he missed the start of the season while he recovered from non-Hodgkin lymphoma.Hendriks was placed on the 15-day injured list before Sunday's 6-5 loss to the Miami Marlins.Left-hander Tanner Banks was recalled from Triple-A Charlotte.

The Sox snapped a five-game win streak late in the Bronx last night, and traveled home to meet the Marlins of Miami, one of baseball's forgettable franchises.Harsh?Possibly.But in another life, the Sox could have been transported to somewhere in Florida, toiling away under a blistering sun next to a rising sea, and only us old-heads would think sadly of them.

The Yankees played a weekend's worth of tight games against the archrivals, and frustratingly came out on the wrong end, with the offense looking like it desperately needed its captain back.They would look to the scoreboard to see it they'd get any help, as the rest of their rivals were also busy Sunday.

Earlier this week, Yankees ace Gerrit Cole became the 87th pitcher in Major League history to record 2,000 strikeouts after fanning Jorge Mateo to end the second inning, and just the eighth to achieve that milestone in a Yankee uniform.Let's dive into the history books - and, for more recent pitchers, take a trip down memory lane - and see how those previous seven came to be a part of this exclusive club.

Is there a drink more associated with time in the sun than the Piña Colada?If someone utters the word " frozen drink ", chances are a poco grande glass containing the pineapple, coconut, and rum concoction is the first thing that springs to mind.Sweet, rich, and very refreshing, its earned its place in the hierarchy.

With the first five months of the year already behind us - alarming, we know - the Bay Area has already welcomed a slew of exciting new places to eat and drink.Chef Srijith Gopinathan and partner Ayesha Thapar debuted Corpa, a tropical oasis with a menu that pays homage to the food Gopinathan grew up eating in southwestern India.

The DeAndre Hopkins free agency saga continues and his first visit is with an unexpected team.The Arizona Cardinals cut DeAndre Hopkins last month, instantly making him the most sought-after receiver on the market.Hopkins has dealt with injuries the last couple years, but he remains a dynamic pass-catcher who can infuse any offense with big-play ability.

Liam Hendriks is one of the most formidable mental athletes in baseball.A closer by trade, he thrives on pitching the ball with vigor and anger.Partner that mentality with an absurd amount of caffeine, and you get Hendriks -- one of the most dominant closers in baseball.Before the days of Hendriks striking out batters with intensity, using abruptly colorful language on the mound and fist-pumping his way off the bump after a save, he thought of himself as lesser, according to a story done by The Athletic.

All 12 Federal Reserve districts have seen issues with a lack of housing inventory, which is largely due to existing homeowners holding back on listing their homes after previously locking in low mortgage rates.Demand from the buyer side has remained steady or increased, however, and new home builders have responded to inventory shortages by increasing speculative inventory production, according to the Federal Reserve Beige Book, released Wednesday.

Alek Manoah's season went from bad to worse on Monday night.The Blue Jays right-hander gave up six earned runs and lasted just one-third of an inning as the Houston Astros dumped Toronto 11-4 at Rogers Centre."[I] understand this game is hard," Manoah said."It's going to kick you in the butt.

The James Beard Foundation presented its coveted culinary awards for 2023 in Chicago on Monday night, with the top awards going to Rob Rubba of Oyster Oyster in Washington, D.C., as outstanding chef and to Friday Saturday Sunday in Philadelphia as outstanding restaurant.Reflecting the awards' growing clout, Mayor Brandon Johnson of Chicago and Gov. J.B. Pritzker of Illinois appeared live onstage, and Secretary of State Antony Blinken, in a video, praised the soft power of culinary diplomacy, citing the Beard-award-winning chef Edward Lee's Maryland crab cakes with gochujang vinaigrette, which were served at a recent state dinner.

Patrick Mahomes saw Travis Kelce attempt to speak into the White House microphone and immediately stopped him.Never leave an open microphone in front of Travis Kelce because if Patrick Mahomes isn't there to stop him, who knows what he'll say?The White House got that lesson out of the way quickly.President Joe Biden welcomed the Super Bowl Champions for the first time as their last visit was canceled due to COVID.

Ranking MLB's 10 Biggest Disappointments So Far in 2023

8. Carlos Correa, SS, Minnesota Twins

There were four shortstops who combined to make nearly $1 billion this offseason in free agency, and none of the four is faring very well thus far.Of the Xander Bogaerts, Carlos Correa, Dansby Swanson and Trea Turner quartet, though, only Correa agreed to deals with three different franchises before finally landing back with the one he played for in 2022-this after also turning down a $35.1 million to return to that team for 2023 in the first place.

The Kansas City Chiefs reportedly made progress toward a deal for wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins, but it fell apart due to this reason.Last week, the Arizona Cardinals made the expected move to part ways with wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins.But it wasn't via trade, rather it was a pre-June 1 release.That was the shock, that the Cardinals were eating money for the upcoming season and didn't get anything in return for the five-time Pro Bowl wide receiver.

Whether Chiefs head coach Andy Reid meant to or not, he sent one NFL position group into football extinction with a roster decision.Back in the days of ground-and-pound, the fullback was a valued position group.In fact, sometimes there was more than one fullback on a roster, if you can believe it.The Pittsburgh Steelers of the 1970's, for example, often used Franco Harris as a fullback option, along with Frenchy Fuqua, who oh so often would be Harris' lead blocker when Pittsburgh needed him most.

The Dodgers wrapped up their (likely) toughest road trip of the season.They lost three of four and barely had a pitching rotation in St. Louis, took two of three in Atlanta and dropped two of three in Tampa Bay.They bounced back from another rough Gavin Stone outing in an extremely normal non-juiced-baseball finale yesterday, as Chris Taylor and Trayce Thompson nearly led the Dodgers to a wild win.

Keep an eye on DeAndre Hopkins possibly reuniting with Deshaun Watson on the Cleveland Browns.It wouldn't be the strangest thing in the world to see DeAndre Hopkins catching passes from Deshaun Watson again.Not that long ago, Hopkins was Watson's go-to receiving target with the Houston Texans.So much has happened since 2019, for better or worse.

CHICAGO - Liam Hendriks is ready to rejoin the Chicago White Sox after recovering from non-Hodgkin lymphoma.The White Sox posted a video on Twitter on Sunday welcoming Hendriks back to the team, and the eccentric closer confirmed his return in an Instagram post that read, "See you soon Southside," along with Monday's date.

The Nationals' Alex Call is forced out at second base by Royals shortstop Bobby Witt Jr. on Sunday afternoon.(Reed Hoffmann/AP)KANSAS CITY, Mo. - Before the walk-off hit found grass in front of Lane Thomas, and before the Kansas City Royals celebrated their 3-2 win Sunday afternoon, Thomas, the Washington Nationals' right fielder, had to quickly run through the possibilities in his head.

The Washington Nationals are set to play an unfamiliar opponent as they prepare to face-off with the Kansas City Royals for three games.Washington last visited Kaufman Stadium seven years ago, as these teams barely play.It was another gut-wrenching series in Washington this past week when the Nats hosted the Padres for three contests.

The Washington Nationals notched another come-from-behind win last night in Kansas City.This team is playing exciting baseball, and tomorrow they will reach the one-third mark in the season.Since that trip to l'étoile du nord, "the star of the north", in Minnesota, the Nats are 18-16 in that 34-game stretch, and while that sounds good for a rebuilding team - fact is that is the fourth best record in that span for NL teams.

The Nationals' Jeimer Candelario slides home after a double from Corey Dickerson, part of a four-run sixth inning for Washington in a 4-2 win.(Charlie Riedel/AP)KANSAS CITY, Mo. - If every inning were the sixth inning at Kauffman Stadium for the Washington Nationals, their hitters might grow tired of running around the bases.

KANSAS CITY, Mo (AP) - Lane Thomas opened the game with a home run, Corey Dickerson's three-run shot highlighted an eight-run sixth inning and Luis Garcia had six hits as the Washington Nationals outslugged the Kansas City Royals 12-10 on Friday night.The eight-run inning was the largest scoring inning in Nationals' history and came against Kansas City's Jordan Lyles and Josh Staumont.

The Nationals' Luis García lashes one of his two sixth-inning doubles in a 12-10 win at Kansas City.García became the player in team history to double twice in the same inning.(Ed Zurga/Getty Images)KANSAS CITY, Mo. - After the Washington Nationals scored a season-high eight runs in the sixth inning Friday night, almost lost their massive lead, then scored three more in the eighth to widen it again, the bullpen phone rang to request the services of ... Chad Kuhl, who only recently became a reliever after posting a 9.41 ERA in five starts.

The Washington Nationals are back on the road, and woke up today in Kansas City, Missouri for a weekend series against the Royals.Tonight, it is Patrick Corbin on the mound with the hopes of getting back in the win column.There is no telling how manager Dave Martinez will set up his bullpen for tonight.

The Kansas City Chiefs had a leg-up on the race to acquire DeAndre Hopkins, but that all changes now.Much like with Odell Beckham Jr., the Kansas City Chiefs found themselves in the mix in regards to DeAndre Hopkins's availability when it looked as though the Arizona Cardinals would trade him earlier this offseason.

All Times EDT Sunday, May 28 MLB L.A. Dodgers at Tampa Bay, 11:35 a.m.San Diego at N.Y.Yankees, 1:35 p.m.Texas at Baltimore, 1:35 p.m. Chicago White Sox at Detroit, 1:40 p.m.St. Louis at Cleveland, 1:40 p.m. San Francisco at Milwaukee, 2:10 p.m. Toronto at Minnesota, 2:10 p.m. Washington at Kansas City, 2:10 p.m. Cincinnati at Chicago Cubs, 2:20 p.m. N.Y.

The Chiefs and DeAndre Hopkins have reportedly already been in contact but the devil is in the details if the Pro Bowler wants to play in Kansas City.The Chiefs ' interest in DeAndre Hopkins before the draft was apparently serious enough to contact the wide receiver.What about now that he has been released by the Cardinals?

The Kansas City Chiefs and Patrick Mahomes have no immediate plans to restructure the QB's historic contract.Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs are on top of the NFL world.The reigning Super Bowl champ, now with two rings to his name at 27 years old, Patrick Mahomes could easily demand the biggest contract in league history.

It was announced this week that the Athletics, at long last, had come to an agreement with a group of politicians to build a new stadium for the club, which has been stuck in an outdated facility for years.If that sounds familiar, it is because the same situation, with the same reasoning, has been playing out for more than 100 years.
