The Astros’ manager saw his team even up the World Series in Game 2 behind a 7-2 victory, and now the series turns to Atlanta for three games. It will be a homecoming, of sorts, for the 72-year-old manager. Baker got his start in Major League Baseball in 1967 when he was drafted by the Braves, and starting in 1968, he spent the first eight years of his 19-year career in Atlanta....
With Pressly’s scoreless eighth inning in Friday’s 3-1 win over the Boston Red Sox, he has now gone 39 successive appearances without allowing a run in the regular season. It eclipses former Red Sox reliever Craig Kimbrel’s previous record of 38 consecutive games. The Astros saw something in Pressly many other teams did not see when they signed the 30-year-old from the Minnesota Twins in 2018. Pressly posts some of the highest spin rates in MLB which Houston covet....
“Total positive tests reported for Sept. 3, 2020, are 1,092, and the seven-day trailing average of total positive tests is 544.9,” the university said. As of September 2, at least 957 known positive cases were reported among the school’s 74,500 students (excluding those online), while 26 known positive cases were confirmed among the university’s 12,400 total faculty and staff. This follows an allegation that an ASU professor asked students to sit in the first two rows of a classroom, reportedly going against the school’s social distancing guidelines, according to a thread on Reddit....
Nonetheless, this laptop isn’t without its faults – which considering the premium price tag is a little frustrating. Price and availability This is quite a big investment, so you’ll want to be certain that you’ll get use out of all the features that this device boasts. Other 2-in-1 laptops that sit in the same price range include the HP Spectre Folio and the Dell XPS 13 2-in-1 (7390). If all you’re looking for is a 2-in-1 without the need of a powerful processor or a 4K screen – and would like to save a few quid – take a look at the other laptops that made our list of the best 2-in-1s out there....
The ZenFone 8 Flip may look familiar, and that’s because it’s near-identical in design (and most other areas) to its predecessor, the ZenFone 7. That may be a disappointment for some but given the smartphone’s limited release in 2020, it makes sense for Asus to upgrade the internals and put it in front of a wider audience. The question is whether the flip camera system is worth the premium compared to its more capable and cheaper sibling?...
The man’s behavior may well be a product of paranoia, but such is daily life in this and other municipalities across Burma, where people have grown accustomed to watching what they say—and to whom. For the approximately 150,000 residents in Tachilek, staying out of trouble—and out of jail—is all about being cautious. And that prudence is very much in evidence as events unfold in Rangoon, the country’s main city. As the ruling junta clamps down on monks and citizens who dared to take to the streets to demand food and democracy, there aren’t many people talking about it here in Tachilek....
Less than a decade after Joel Garreau proclaimed the triumph of the “edge city”–a cluster of office parks, malls and subdivisions plunked down at the intersection of two interstates–the hottest new neighborhoods in many cities are the places that were settled first. A study last fall by the Brookings Institution and the Fannie Mae Foundation looked at 24 cities around the country and found that all of them expect downtown populations to grow over the next decade–even cities whose populations have been shrinking for decades, like Philadelphia and Detroit; even cities whose names are bywords for sprawl, like Atlanta and Los Angeles....
Saturday, after the U.S. fell by a 3-1 score to the Netherlands in the Round of 16 at the 2022 World Cup in Qatar, there were American fans calling the USMNT performance a failure, which was odd, because they ought to have had a clear picture of what failure looks like.

Costa was finally able to make his return for Atleti following their transfer ban in September, with the Liga club having re-signed the striker from Chelsea. The Brazil-born Spain international made an immediate impact in his first match for Atletico since 2014, scoring the club’s third goal in the opening leg within four minutes of his introduction as Diego Simeone’s men edged closer to the quarter-finals. However, Costa suffered a knock in the process after his knee was accidently stood on in the process of scoring and Atleti confirmed via a statement that he will be assessed again....
For those unaware, there have been numerous leaks and hints that Ubisoft will be releasing it next Assassin’s Creed game, Assassin’s Creed Ragnarok, sometime this year. Very little is known about the game as of yet given that it hasn’t even been officially announced, but that doesn’t stop avid gamers from speculating about the future of the series and sharing their own wants. Although the fanbase is certainly divided on whether Assassin’s Creed should maintain its action-RPG style, it seems safe to say that most would be satisfied either way....

However, both of them do seem relatively mild compared to the adventures AC Odyssey’s Kassandra/Alexios went on with the Greek gods. It may be that they build up to a big third arc, as many stories and even Assassin’s Creed often do, and the recent leak of a third DLC may just point at that.

Assassin’s Creed Valhalla will put players in the boots of a Viking as a fight for land in Europe. In Assassin’s Creed Odyssey, players also choose the main character’s gender. However, in Odyssey, the other gender is made into an NPC in the same story. In Valhalla, many wonder if the unpicked gender becomes an NPC as well. Based on both protagonists being referred to as Eivor, it seems like only one will exist in the events of Valhalla....
Assassin’s Creed Valhalla will follow the Viking leader, Eivor, in a journey to England for better land and safety. During this journey, players will see the difference in nature between the cold, unforgiving landscape of Norway and England’s lush green hills.
