That was the case Saturday night as Padres third baseman Manny Machado was seen arguing in the dugout with shortstop Fernando Tatis Jr. after Tatis struck out looking in the fifth inning. Tatis had argued with home plate umpire Phil Cuzzi about the call, leading Machado to tell him in the dugout, “It’s not about you” and encouraging him to “go play baseball.” MORE: Phillies, Mets face off in ‘what might have been’ series...
It is looking increasingly likely that Johor Darul Ta’zim (JDT) could be Malaysia’s only representative in the 2018 AFC Cup competition. After Kedah was denied a AFC Club Licence that is required to compete in the competition, the spot was given to Pahang, who themselves have declined the chance to participate in the second tier Asia-level cup competition. In a statement released on Tuesday afternoon, Pahang Football Association said that while they acknowledged receipt of the invitation, they would decline the offer to pour their entire focus in domestic matters....

The hosts wrapped up a series-clinching victory with a game to spare in the three-match rubber after Nathan Lyon (4-81) and James Pattinson (3-35) impressed with the ball to dismiss the Black Caps for 240 in their second innings – makeshift opener Tom Blundell’s superb 121 sounding the lone note of day-four defiance. By contrast, Australia’s first-innings centurion and man of the match Travis Head was backed up by fifties from Steve Smith, Marnus Labuschagne and Paine....
Tomatoes, perfectly shaped and blemish-free, have skins like carapaces. Apples with bite and beans with snap have almost disappeared. Pretty but bland bloomers have replaced sweet-smelling flowers. But now, something else is sprouting. More and more gardeners are discovering the pleasures of “heirloom” fruits, vegetables and flowers - old varieties that had been nearly plowed under by the exigencies of agribusiness. For years, small groups of gardeners kept endangered varieties alive by collecting and swapping their seeds....
For centuries Christians were the majority people in the Moluccas. They fought alongside the Dutch during the 19th- and 20th-century colonial wars. In those days the pictureseque atoll was known as the Spice Islands because of its lucrative exports of clove and nutmeg. But starting about 30 years ago, the islands’ religious mix began to change–ominously. The Indonesian government encouraged hundreds of thousands of Muslims to leave the populous islands of Java and Sulawesi and move to the Moluccas....
Three years in the north of London, donning the No. 7 jersey, but still waiting to win the league. Personally, I feel that is a huge letdown for a player of your calibre, a player gifted with exceptional abilities such as yours, a player who has that fighting spirit embedded deep within that provides the drive to go and grab that win. Unfortunately, it’s a sorry state of affairs Arsenal FC find themselves in....
At Porto, he lifted the holy grail: the UEFA Champions League trophy. At Chelsea, he won the Premier League for the second consecutive season, shattering records in the process. At Inter Milan the story was, even more, extraordinary – he did a historic treble winning the Serie A, the Coppa Italia and the UEFA Champions League in 2009-10. At Real Madrid, he won the La Liga in 2011-12 and then he came back to Chelsea and won the Premier League again in 2014-15 – all in his second seasons with the clubs....

The Catan coach headed for the Premier League and Manchester City last summer, leaving Ancelotti to pick up the managerial baton at the Allianz Arena. The Italian feels it is an easy task to motivate Bayern’s squad - even though they have won the Bundesliga in four consecutive seasons - and sees no need to shake things up. Lewy picks perfect position for Muller He told ESPN: “When you speak about a professional player, it means to speak about a player that all the time has the game to be back now every single day, to be focused every single training, to try to win every single year....

Venus of Willendorf (10,000 B.C.): What’s more offensive: a naked black woman, or a naked, obese paleolithic woman with droopy breasts? This one’ll never sneak by Lady Liberty. Veronese’s “Feast in the House of Levi” (1573): Dwarfs and drunkards dining with Jesus? Didn’t pass muster with an earlier “decency commission,” either. When Veronese called it “The Last Supper,” the Inquisition inquired about a new name. Bosch’s Garden of Earthly Delights (1515): More fit for the Spice Channel than a museum....
That is almost accurate, but it is not the entire truth. If last week is anything to go by, then it takes more than the aforementioned qualities to succeed in this arduous world of football. Tottenham Hotspur and Liverpool were beaten and bruised by clubs with exceptional and technically-gifted players in the first legs. But when they both shockingly knocked out Barcelona and Ajax, it once again proved to the world that football isn’t only about ability, philosophy, and gifted footballers....

After getting fouled by Orlando’s Evan Fournier in the second quarter, Roberson went to the line. His first free throw attempt looked pretty normal and the result was a crystal-clear swish.

“I prefer the Clasico to be a normal game, not like it was during the three years Mourinho coached Madrid,” he said. “We all prefer to talk about football. All the controversy off the pitch did not benefit anyone. Those were important moments, but the important thing is that it is something from the past now.” Clasico win will be a perfect tribute for Johan Cruyff – Iniesta Dutch legend Johan Cruyff had a huge impact on Barcelona both as a player and a manager....
LaFleur and quarterback Rodgers were seen arguing on the sidelines late in the first half of Green Bay’s 21-16 win over the Minnesota Vikings on Sunday. But, LaFleur said after the game he was not concerned about the incident. “That’s just two competitive guys, and I’m sure it’s not going to be the last one we have,” LaFleur said, via ESPN. “But you know, just competitors, heat of the moment and it is what it is....
Detroit had lined up for a 48-yard field goal attempt with two seconds remaining in the half, but a boneheaded penalty by the Packers moved them 15 yards closer. So, what happened? Well, just before the Lions were preparing to attempt the 48-yarder, Packers coach Matt LaFleur called a timeout.
