Streaky Rangers suddenly headed wrong way again with Game 4 loss as Astros even ALCS

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 07:42:45 GMT

ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) — The streaky Texas Rangers are suddenly headed the wrong way again.The 10-3 loss to the Houston Astros in Game 4 on Thursday night that evened the AL Championship Series at 2-all was the second defeat in a row for Texas — both at home — after a 7-0 postseason start.Now Texas has to stop the Astros’ seven-game winning streak at Globe Life Field in Game 5 on Friday, or the defending champs would go home needing one win for a third consecutive World Series trip.Not that going home is much of a comfort for Houston, just 40-45 at Minute Maid Park, postseason included. Neither home team has taken a lead in the first four games of the first postseason meeting between the instate AL West rivals. Texas fell behind 3-0 as Andrew Heaney got just two outs in the shortest start of the 32-year-old left-hander’s big league career. After Corey Seager’s third-inning solo homer got Texas even, the Astros immediately scored four more, capped by José Abreu’...

Jim Jordan's speakership bid.On NBC News Thursday, the congressman said, "I’ve been evicted from my office in Colorado.

Adam Frisch raises 4 times more than Lauren Boebert in recent months

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 07:42:45 GMT

DENVER (KDVR) — New numbers from Colorado’s 3rd Congressional District show Democrat Adam Frisch is outraising incumbent Lauren Boebert.In recent months, Frisch has brought in nearly $3.4 million compared to Boebert, who raised $850,000 in the same three-month timeframe. FOX31 political analysts disagree on whether the gap in fundraising could lead to a gap in the polls, or even election results, this week on “Colorado Point of View.”Democratic strategist Andy Boian highlighted the 554-vote differential in the November 2022 race that saw Boebert keep her seat."The reality is Adam (Frisch) is raising so much more money than the incumbent that it really poses the question … does she really want the seat? Obviously, really bad press in the last quarter for Lauren Boebert," Boian said. Crow bashes Republicans over lack of leadership in speaker debate Republican strategist Michael Fields argues there won’t be a noticeable difference.“For example, you're going to have tens of millions o...

Crow bashes Republicans over lack of leadership in speaker debate

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 07:42:45 GMT

DENVER (KDVR) — It’s been more than two weeks without a speaker of the House, and the lack of leadership is preventing Congress from passing crucial measures.Top of mind for a lot of lawmakers is humanitarian aid for victims of the Israel-Hamas war, aid for Ukraine and passing a long-term government funding measure. Buck says he’s being evicted from Windsor office after voting against Jordan But House Republicans can’t agree on who should lead the party. That includes Colorado Republicans, who are split on supporting U.S. Rep. Jim Jordan for the spot. An option to allow Speaker Pro Tempore Patrick McHenry to oversee the House until January was denied by House Republicans on Thursday. That move would have likely gotten some Democratic support.U.S. Rep. Jason Crow discussed the speakership debate this week on "Colorado Point of View."“(Democrats) are looking seriously at an agreement to empower Patrick McHenry … and give him very limited powers between now and the end of the year to...

Miss Crispy Rice inside Oasis in Wynwood serves up affordable omakase experience

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 07:42:45 GMT

Omakase experiences can be a lot of fun but a bit on the pricey side. At a new spot in Wynwood’s Oasis, you can expect delicious food that won’t break the bank.Amy Poehler: “There’s a whole section here about how to buy expensive things using money you save.”Forget about saving up for an omakase experience, because at Miss Crispy Rice, omakase won’t come with a big tab.Andrew Mayer: “Most places charge $250 per person in Miami, going all the way up to $550, not including drinks, but our omakase, we have a $35 one for lunch, which is 10 courses, then we have a 12-course $60 for dinner.”Omakase is when the chef picks the type of sushi you eat, and while it sticks to following traditional styles of sushi, they do the opposite here at this sushi bar.Andrew Mayer: “Most of the courses are nigiri. If you have a 15-course menu, you might have 10 nigiri or 11 nigiri and four other items. We really like to mix it up, so instead of 10 nigi...

No cure for what ails lackluster ‘Sick Girl’

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 07:42:45 GMT

What has happened to the American film comedy? Has COVID killed it? I would say that the current entry “Sick Girl,” a comedy wannabe about a young woman so desperate for her friends’ company and attention that she pretends to have cancer, is like a TV sitcom on a big screen. But “Sick Girl” is not good enough to be a TV sitcom. Written and directed by former casting director Jennifer Cram, making her feature debut, and executive produced by its talented lead Nina Dobrev (TV’s “Fam”), “Sick Girl” is a clever title for this tale.But the goodness ends there. Cue the “Friends”-sounding opening theme music. Dobrev plays Wren Pepper, a low-achieving, thirty-ish singleton who works in a gift shop in an unidentified city and yearns for more time with her beloved friends from high school (there is no mention of college). The tall, self-centered blonde Jill (Hayley Magnus, TV’s “The Mapleworth Murders”), who is also a mother, has become some sort of girl boss. Redhead Cece (...
