“I’m not an impartial juror,” McConnell said. “This is a political process. There’s not anything judicial about it. Impeachment is a political decision.” “The House made a partisan political decision to impeach.” McConnell continued. “I would anticipate we will have a largely partisan outcome in the Senate. I’m not impartial about this at all.” “I think it’s pretty safe to say in a partisan exercise like this people sort of sign up with their own side,” McConnell said....

“What I’ve been hearing since then is encouraging, that they’re prepared to take steps before an incursion, not afterwards,” McConnell said about Biden’s response to the growing tensions in Ukraine. “It appears to me that the administration is moving in the right direction,” the Kentucky Republican said. McConnell’s remarks come a day after Biden held a video call with European officials over the threat of a Russian invasion. The White House said the president spoke with leaders from the European Commission, the European Council, NATO, France, Germany, Italy, Poland and the United Kingdom about their concerns over the situation on Ukraine’s border and their “preparations to impose massive consequences and severe economic costs on Russia for such actions....

Diagnosis If a suspicious lesion or mole is found during your skin exam, your primary care healthcare provider or dermatologist will take a biopsy specimen for the pathologist (a practitioner who examines tissues and fluids to diagnose disease in order to assist in making treatment decisions) to examine under a microscope. If the pathologist finds malignant (cancerous) cells in the biopsy, your primary care healthcare provider may order other tests—lymph node, blood, urine, and imaging tests—to find out whether or not the cancer has spread....

Characteristics Mixed cellularity Hodgkin can occur at any age, although it is most common in adults between the ages of 55 and 74, as well as children under the age of 14. It is equally common in men and women. The rate of this type of lymphoma appears to have decreased in incidence between 1992 and 2011, but this may be due to the way that lymphomas are classified instead of a true decrease in incidence....

The Red Devils’ enigmatic Swedish striker has never been shy of billing himself as the spiritual leader of football. He has earned such a standing through his achievements on the pitch, with his legendary status stretching well beyond the borders of his homeland. Mkhitaryan is, however, a performer who enjoys similar acclaim, as a national hero in Armenia, and was able to prove that point to Ibrahimovic during a Europa League meeting with FC Rostov in March....

The Armenia international endured a testing start to his spell at Old Trafford following a £30 million transfer from Borussia Dortmund. He initially struggled to convince Jose Mourinho of his worth, but flourished after being welcomed into the first-team. Mourinho: We need winning mentality Mkhitaryan ended the season with 11 goals in 41 appearances, with many of those proving to be memorable efforts. A scorpion-kick against Sunderland on Boxing Day saw the 28-year-old set the tone for what was to follow, as his contribution was first acknowledged by United supporters....

For years, MLB schedules have been slanted toward divisional opposition. The stronger the division, the tougher the schedule. That’s all about to change. The 2023 schedule will offer more variety. For the first time in modern MLB history, all 30 teams will face each other at some point during the season and should pave the way for more even scheduling amongst teams. Teams playing in difficult divisions like the AL East, for example, should get a bit of a reprieve from their daunting divisional slate, while sides in weaker divisions like the NL Central will get a step up in competition....

Ted Williams was thought of as one of the best in baseball but his legend began to take shape when he hit a walk-off three-run homer as a 22-year-old off of Claude Passeau in 1941 to win the All-Star Game. To this day it is the only walk-off homer in the history of the Midsummer Classic. So, why did reigning American League MVP Mookie Betts never step to the plate Tuesday in the AL’s 4-3 win over the NL at Progressive Field in Cleveland, Ohio?...

You know the story, so we won’t rehash it in great detail. The quick recap: Fresh off the “embarrassment” of the 2002 All-Star Game ending in a tie when the teams ran out of pitchers, commissioner Bud Selig decided that the game had to mean something, so he gave home-field advantage in the World Series to the league that won the All-Star Game. But he didn’t fundamentally change the way the rosters were selected (fan votes still determined the starters and every team still had to have a representative) or fundamentally change the way the game was actually played (pitchers still only went an inning or two and position players were only in the game a couple of innings, too)....

One of the more disappointing teams of the young baseball season has been the Diamondbacks, not only on the field but also the road uniforms that everyone seems to be up in arms about (I like them, though). While they’ve gone 1-3 when top off-season acquisitions Zack Greinke and Shelby Miller have started, all hasn’t been bad despite the 3-6 record that has landed them in the cellar with San Diego....

On Monday, in a tweet captioned “Clayton Kershaw is speaking up”, the MLB official Twitter account shared an excerpt of an interview Kershaw gave The Athletic’s Andy McCullough earlier this week in which the Los Angeles Dodgers star discussed his support for the Black Lives Matter movement. “It was eye opening for me what was going—what has been going on,” the quote shared by the MLB reads. “Silence was probably part of the problem to begin with....

SNY reported that there will be several obstacles for New York to land the right-hander as it’s unknown what the team’s luxury tax guidelines will be. It’s also been the “assumption in the industry that Cole, a California native, will favor a West Coast team,” according to the report. However, the West Coast theory may prove to be incorrect assumption, SNY notes, as Cole, represented by Scott Boras, likely won’t want to limit his options....

What does that mean? The bidding probably will get intense for the handful of elite All-Stars on the market (good for those stars’ bank accounts), and teams might be more willing to take a chance (as in, offer multiyear deals) to guys coming off injury-plagued seasons. MORE: The 15 worst MLB free-agent signings of all time Here, we’re going to take a look at the 13 best hitters — regardless of position — on this year’s free-agent market....

Shortly after the end of the World Series, we ranked the top 101 free agents. At the time, there was much to be worked out with the agreement between MLB and Nippon Professional Baseball in Japan, so we didn’t include Shohei Ohtani in our rankings. As you know, that issue was settled and Ohtani will be playing baseball in the USA for the 2018 season (UPDATE: He chose the Angels!...

Officials are looking into controversial comments made by Adam Jones of the Baltimore Orioles, according to CBS Baltimore . During the Orioles 15-4 shellacking of the New York Yankees on Tuesday, a pair of fans ran on to the field. After the game, the O's center fielder said: “I let them know how I felt, obviously a lot of choice words because I think it’s idiotic for people to run on the field and I think the punishment needs to be a lot harsher....
