Jeff Samardzija is an easy target for criticism because of his record and the home runs he has surrendered. They’re easy on-the-surface stats with which to condemn him because neither is pretty. Samardzija’s season goes well beyond those numbers, however, and there’s extreme value in that he leads Giants pitchers in innings, by far, usually providing the bullpen somewhat of a break. There was nothing but praise for Samardzija on Tuesday night. He didn’t get a win or give up a homer... Читать дальше...

She has a job at a local store but wants things she can’t afford, so she sleeps with men for money. Her dad seems fine with it. They seem to have a closeness that he doesn’t share with me.

Backing up Khalil Mack is no picnic. Often, after the reigning NFL Defensive Player of the Year does something remarkable at practice, Raiders coaches will look at the next man in line, second-year pass rusher James Cowser. “They’ll say, ‘Hey, did you see how Khalil did that?’ and I will be like, ‘Yeah, I saw it … “‘I don’t know if that’s in my skill set necessarily, but I will try,’” Cowser tells them, laughing at the memory. “I try to emulate it.
