With Chicago’s 11-1 loss to the Phillies on Wednesday, the Cubs are now 0-10-2 in their last 12 road series. They have only been swept once in that time for what it’s worth, but still, it’s not what you want. With their loss Wednesday, Chicago is now 23-37 on the road in 2019. That is the worst of any team currently in a playoff spot and better than just seven teams in all of MLB....
In an October interview with Elle Magazine, Harris told the story of being a toddler at a civil rights protest. While attempting to stop Harris from being fussy, her parents asked her what she wanted. “Fweedom,” Harris allegedly said. Social media users quickly pointed out that Harris’s story bore a strong resemblance to an incident described by Martin Luther King, Jr. in a 1965 interview in Playboy. Alveda King told Fox Business host Lou Dobbs on Tuesday that Harris was making a “big stretch” by referring back to her uncle’s remarks....

Atlanta United manager Frank de Boer said he does not believe in equal pay for men and women in soccer, or even any other sport like tennis, because women don’t bring in as much revenue to warrant it. “I think for me, it’s ridiculous,” de Boer told The Guardian. “It’s the same like tennis. If there are watching, for the World Cup final, 500 million people or something like that, and 100 million for a women’s final, that’s a difference....
Last season’s MVP Giovinco scored a hat trick in Sunday’s second leg to lead Toronto to a devastating 7-0 aggregate win and a step closer to the MLS Cup. Leading 2-0 heading into the return fixture of the semifinal in the Big Apple, Toronto wasted no time ending NYCFC’s hopes of a comeback at Yankee Stadium. Giovinco broke the deadlock in the sixth minute with an exquisite turn and powerful low shot before the Italy international doubled the lead on the night from the penalty spot 13 minutes later....
Torrent, who took over from Patrick Vieira earlier this month after the Frenchman’s move to Nice, led his side to a hard-fought win at Yankee Stadium. After David Villa came off injured for City approaching the half-hour mark, Victor Vazquez opened the scoring for Toronto. Vazquez got on the end of a long pass from Auro before lobbing onrushing goalkeeper Sean Johnson. Berget equalised six minutes after half-time with a neat back flick, before the Norwegian scored the winner....
David Villa opened the scoring for City, but his effort was cancelled out by a tremendous Carlos Carmona strike at Yankee Stadium. However, goals from Rodney Wallace and Maximiliano Moralez on the hour-mark secured a second straight win for Patrick Vieira’s men. Villa struck in the 17th minute with a fine finish off the post to complete a flowing team move and give City a 1-0 lead. But a stunning volley from Carmona had the visitors level six minutes before halftime, only for City to grab control on the hour-mark....
Justin Morrow scored a hat trick as Toronto sealed the Shield in style with two regular-season matches remaining, accounting for the Red Bulls 4-2 on Saturday. After clinching the Shield for the best record during the regular season thanks to 19 wins and 65 points so far, Toronto is one victory away from tying the record for the most victories in a season set by the Seattle Sounders in 2014, while the club only needs three points to equal the LA Galaxy’s highest-ever points total in 1998....
Remember when you thought the Seattle Sounders were toast? It might have come this summer, when they were in the midst of a run of eight losses in nine matches.

While what information was taken from Bezos’ phone is unclear, it is possible that Bezos was targeted in an attempt to control the newspaper’s coverage of the murder of Washington Post reporter Jamal Khashoggi, which the CIA concluded was ordered by bin Salman. Khashoggi’s articles had often been critical of Saudi Arabia, particularly the oppressive atmosphere found in the kingdom and bin Salman’s treatment of “extremists,” which included clerics and journalists....
