Democrats are hoping Bevin’s defeat is a sign that the unpopularity of President Donald Trump will terminally damage Republican candidates in states such as Kentucky. But it is not clear that Bevin’s loss is an omen for McConnell or that his association with Trump damaged him. Trump had said at a rally in Kentucky on Monday that Bevin losing would send “a really bad message to the rest of the country” and “you can’t let that happen to me....
He is one of the few Republicans to openly speak against the freshman congresswoman, even as Democrats move to get Greene removed from her recent assignments to the House Committee on Education and Labor and the House Budget Committee as well as preventing her from getting placed on any other influential congressional committees in the future. “Somebody who’s suggested that perhaps no airplane hit the Pentagon on 9/11, that horrifying school shootings were pre-staged, and that the Clintons crashed JFK Jr....
Speaking at a hospital in Mount Sterling, Kentucky, the Republican senator offered his most pessimistic assessment of a possible deal since negotiations began a few months ago. “We have been in a challenging period. Regretfully, I can’t tell you today we’re going to get there,” he said. “I wish I could tell you we were going to get another package, but it doesn’t look that good right now.” McConnell’s remark comes after Senate Republicans’ recent proposal of a scaled-down $500 billion stimulus was defeated on Thursday....
On some table saws, the angle of the blade can also be adjusted to change the angle of the cut. Since table saws are affixed to a table, they’re typically less portable. That said, some table saws are built on movable carts or smaller, more portable tables. With the addition of a miter gauge and other accessories, a table saw can also competently execute more intricate cuts, though they’re generally less precise than a miter saw....
MLB announced the winners on Sunday and there were several first-time winners, including Milwaukee’s Lorenzo Cain and LA’s Cody Bellinger. The list of winners features St. Louis’ Kolten Wong, Cleveland’s Francisco Lindor, Philadelphia’s JT Realmuto and Chicago’s Anthony Rizzo. Cleveland and Oakland lead the Amerian League with two winners each while Arizona boasts three winners in the National League. Houston’s Zack Greinke and Arizona’s Mike Leake each won the award at their respective positions despite being traded to the AL and NL respectively at the deadline in July....
Weeks of negotiations reached another standstill on Monday when the players’ union voted down the latest league proposal of a 60-game regular season with expanded playoffs. “In view of this rejection, the MLB Clubs have unanimously voted to proceed with the 2020 season under the terms of the March 26th Agreement,” the league said in a statement. For the regular season to begin, the MLB has asked players whether they can report for training by July 1 and “whether the Players Association will agree on the Operating Manual which contains the health and safety protocols necessary to give us the best opportunity to conduct and complete our regular season and Postseason....
This wasn’t surprising, of course, but it is disheartening. Commissioner Rob Manfred promised during his post-owners meetings news conference on Thursday, “It’s a good proposal.” Apparently even the definition of the word “good” is disputed by the two sides. Pitchers and catchers are scheduled to officially report later this week, but with the clubhouse doors still locked — literally, not just figuratively — and the sides far, far apart on a potential agreement on a new Collective Bargaining Agreement, that’s not going to happen....
Rios, 33, played for the Rangers last season and batted .280/.311/.398 in 521 plate appearances with four home runs. MORE: Top 10 FA outfielders Rios presumably would take over for Nori Aoki in right field, with Lorenzo Cain staying in center and Jarrod Dyson remaining the fourth outfielder. Dyson played some in center, with Cain moving to right, during the postseason. Aoki is a free agent. Rios is the second significant signing for the American League champions this offseason....
Here at Sporting News, we put together our list of the top 101 free agents shortly after the World Series ended, and not a single one of those original top 10 players have actually signed a deal yet (at the time, Shohei Ohtani wasn’t a lock to jump to MLB for 2018, so he wasn’t included). That’s kind of hard to believe, considering Christmas is only a couple days away....
Sho Darvish was arrested in October after being accused by authorities of taking bets on American and Japanese sports. He and seven others were accused of taking 18.5 million yen, or $150,000, worth of bets based on the scores of 16 MLB games and 28 Japanese professional baseball games from May 12-18. It’s not known if any of the games involved the Rangers. MORE: Eight former players still getting paid by MLB teams...
MLB executive Joe Torre sent a memo Friday to clubs informing them that confronting umpires is “highly inappropriate conduct [that is] detrimental to the game and must stop immediately.” MORE: Indians ask Jobu for help, forgetting that he never helped anyone The memo, obtained Saturday by The Associated Press, explains that while “disagreements over ball and strike calls are natural, the prevalence of manager ejections simply cannot continue” as it undermines the integrity of the umpires on the field....

So far in 13 meetings this season, it’s been the Tigers with a 9-4 edge. The teams last met in July at Kansas City with Detroit taking three of four. The Tigers are a -155 favorite to win the series, but the key variable is what happens in today’s game, since you never know what you’re going to get out of starters Justin Verlander and Jeremy Guthrie. Because of an impressive playoffs last season after he get beat up in the regular season, many of us are under the impression that Verlander (12-12, 4....
The Cardinals (7-3) have feasted on the Reds (5-6) in April over the past five seasons, going 16-6, including 4-1 this season, which is part of the reason the Cardinals are big -180 favorites tonight. But the major reason for the high number rests with Wainwright facing Reds’ right-hander Mike Leake. MLB odds: Current lines from Las Vegas The Reds avoided Wainwright’s turn in the rotation during last weekend’s series at Cincinnati, but when he takes the mound today, he’ll be riding a 17-inning shutout streak against the Reds dating back to 2013....
It’s been a rough time for Oakland as they’ve gone 14-28 since having a four-game lead in the AL West on Aug. 9, and while Texas should be a team the A’s can use as a slump-buster, it’s been Texas that has turned things around by winning 11 of its last 12 games, including a sweep over the A’s in Oakland last week. In that series, Oakland was outscored 19-6....
