With the Giants losing 6-0 to the Diamondbacks on Saturday, the Red Birds clinched a spot in the postseason for the fifth consecutive season despite falling to the Cubs 5-4. MORE: 10 worst designated hitters of all time The Cardinals, who have used a dominant rotation despite the loss of Adam Wainwright, can still help their cause in October by winning the NL Central. Their magic number to clinch the division, which likely holds three playoff teams, is 11....

Then came the injuries. Murray, Chase Edmonds, DeAndre Hopkins and J.J. Watt all endured lengthy spells on the sideline, slowing the team’s momentum. And despite inspired performances by James Conner, Christian Kirk and Chandler Jones, among others, the Cards couldn’t get back to their early-season success, falling to Los Angeles in a lopsided postseason defeat. With rumors swirling about Murray’s availability in a trade, Arizona could look a lot different in 2022....

Appearing on SiriusXM NFL Radio with co-host Bill Polian and me, Arians said Brown still doesn’t have a definitive course of action to deal with the sickle cell trait that has afflicted the third-year wide receiver for much of the 2016 season. MORE: SN’s Week 13 NFL Power Rankings The problems returned during the Cardinals’ 38-19 loss Sunday in Atlanta, forcing Brown to miss the entire second half. “At halftime, his muscles cramped up and the sickle cell trait, he had an episode with that,” Arians said Tuesday night....

Clifford, a forward for the Los Angeles Kings, clearly interfered with Price before a shot by teammate Alec Martinez. The puck went in, and the whistle didn't blow. Sometimes, referees just miss stuff. That's what happened here. The goal was Martinez's first since February of last season and gave the Kings a 3-0 lead over the Canadiens. Shortly after, Tyler Toffoli added another for Los Angeles, and Price was pulled for Peter Budaj for the first time this season....

But not all of the action will take place on the other side of the white line. That’s because the 2022 UCL final will see esteemed managerial pair Carlo Ancelotti and Jurgen Klopp facing off for the 11th time across their careers, with a fascinating tactical battle once again being expected to ensue on the touchline. With Madrid’s Italian boss holding the upper-hand across previous meetings between the two, can he add another victory to his collection against Klopp that would see Real take a record-breaking 14th Champions League crown?...

A one-out single to left field off Cole Hamels raised Beltran’s average for this season to .297, and nothing appeared to be wrong as he ran to first base. Still, Beltran got a visit from a trainer and left the game, going straight to the clubhouse. Beltran appeared to grab his right hamstring during the visit, but no official word on his injury has been released yet. MORE: Worst in-season trades for every AL franchise...

But their leader, Buster Posey, retired following that magical 2021 regular season, an up-and-down 2022 campaign ended with an unsatisfying 81-81 record. It was not pretty. MORE: MLB hot stove tracker: Latest updates on rumors, signings and trades Aaron Judge felt like the perfect fit for that new identity, the new Posey. He’s a superstar player and he’s an unquestioned leader in the clubhouse. He’s from the area, too. The Giants had the money, and they had the need....

This is the first time in franchise history the team has won the first five games of its season — the previous season-opening win streak was set in 1995-96, when the team played in Hartford as the Whalers. The hot start represents further improvement on the Hurricanes’ late-season success in 2018-19. The team made the playoffs for the first time in a decade and introduced a widely popular postgame celebration....

Reggie Wayne aside, the most interesting name on that hypotethetical yet improbable list was Randy Moss, who has settled in Charlotte, N.C. after assistant coaching his son at a local high school last summer. IYER: How Vikings stole Moss in 1998 draft | Newton falls in fantasy rankings post-Benjamin injury Turns out Moss is only, as famous Charlottean Michael Jordan once said, about 99.9 percent retired. ESPN.com’s Mike Reiss got confrimation from Moss that the future Hall of Fame big-play wideout still hasn’t ruled out the possibility of an NFL comeback, however remote that may be....

Wozniacki, the WTA International tournament’s top seed, cruised past Germany’s Julia Goerges 6-4, 6-4. Williams, runner-up last year, had no problems in a 6-2, 6-4 win over Russian Elena Vesnina. Next up for Wozniacki is Czech fourth seed Barbora Zahlavova Strycova, who beat American Coco Vandeweghe 6-4, 7-5. Vandeweghe, the seventh seed, served for the second set at 5-3, but she lost the final four games to be beaten....

A clip shared by Texan Heather Breland, posting to TikTok as @littlehellion86, revealed a long line of cars, patiently waiting for food in the lashing rain. The video was filmed on the outskirts of Houston, at the 24/7 fast-food restaurant on Spencer Highway, La Porte, around 9pm on September 13. “When there’s a tropical storm coming and only Whataburger has your back! Everything else is closed. Gotta love Texas,” Breland captioned the clip, which was uploaded on Tuesday....

The viral clip shared on TikTok on Sunday by the cat’s owner, under the username Thelifeof_toulouse, shows the cat sneaking one single fry, which her owners allow her to have every time every time they get food from the restaurant. The owners explained that Emely doesn’t really eat the fries, but she just likes to play with them instead. They wrote: “We moved out a few weeks ago and found many old fries covered with dust under [the] furniture....

In theaters this month, her new film, based on Maria Semple’s novel, Where’d You Go, Bernadette, tells the story of an agoraphobic architect—an “absurd, hilarious and negative character”—who has been avoiding her problems for so long the only place left is Antarctica. After one too many lapses in judgment, she must now confront her fears. Migration—of sorts—is a theme for Blanchett. Her upcoming TV series Stateless shows the impact of the world’s current immigration systems....

To explore this little-researched relationship, researchers from the Human-Animal Interaction Lab at Oregon State University invited cat owners and their pets for a series of tests. A total of 70 kittens, who were around 20 weeks old, took part in the study, as well as 38 adult cats aged between one to 13.5-years-old. Some completed the experiments, while others acted as the control. The cats spent two minutes in a new room with their owner, followed by two minutes alone....

The fluid that causes tamponade is usually either a typical pericardial effusion (that is, the accumulation of an abnormal amount of fluid in the pericardial sac) or bleeding into the pericardial sac. Cardiac tamponade can appear acutely, or it may develop rather gradually. In either case, symptoms are usually quite striking, and the resolution of symptoms requires the expeditious removal of the excess fluid from the pericardial sac. How Is Cardiac Tamponade Produced?...

These are just some of the symptoms associated with auditory tube dysfunction (also known as eustachian tube dysfunction). It can be caused by any number of conditions but is most associated with either an accumulation of mucus or an imbalance of air pressure in the middle ear. Auditory Tube Anatomy The auditory tube, sometimes called the eustachian tube, is a tiny channel that runs from the middle ear to the back of the throat (nasopharynx)....

Blatt is 1-1 in his first NBA assignment, with two decidedly different games. In between then, the new guy let his players have it with both barrels. Media reports Saturday were full of tales about Blatt’s team meeting the day before, when the coach told his star-studded roster that their flat, lifeless opening-game loss wouldn’t do. With bark on it. After all, playing poorly at home against the Knicks was unacceptable....

Its primary ingredient, aztreonam, is in a drug class called monobactam antibiotics. Monobactam antibiotics work to treat infections of the urinary tract or lower respiratory tract, gynecologic infections, septicemia (problems that arise from the toxins released by the bacteria into your bloodstream), and cutaneous (skin) infections. This medication works by binding to bacteria and preventing them from growing and spreading, causing cell death. Cayston is available in the form of a solution that is inhaled through a nebulizer (a device that changes a drug from a liquid to a mist) called the Altera nebulizer in brand form only....
