COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — An Ohio online charter school that was one of the nation's largest before it suspended operations amid a legal fight with the state is filing another appeal with the Ohio Supreme Court.

Tonight, at the ungodly hour of 10:07PM Eastern, the Red Sox and Los Angeles Angels Of Anaheim (the two best teams in baseball right now) will square-off for the first time in 2018.

After an abysmal Spring Training, Ohtani has been on a tear—in both of his capacities. As a starting pitcher, he is 2-0 with a 2.08 ERA. Читать дальше...
