McIlroy eyes redemption in Sunday showdown at Masters

Rory Mcilroy eyes redemption in Sunday showdown at Masters.AUGUSTA, Ga. - Saturday is a sleepless night in Augusta, Georgia. At least this Saturday. And not just for the golf fans getting in their last licks of liquor before heading home. The players won't sleep much either, especially not the handful near the top of the leaderboard at the Masters, just one round standing between them and a long-cherished dream.

Trevor Bauer goes on a glorious rant about all the things that are wrong with MLB. He specifically takes aim at commissioner Rob Manfred and “all the ridiculous rule changes he keeps proposing.” “In one of your biggest markets, half the fans can’t even watch the damn game because of TV deals.”

Pace of play rules FAQ A pitch clock -- giving the pitcher a certain amount of time to deliver the ball -- had been one of the major proposals considered. MLB decided to defer implementation of a pitch clock, as well as a between-batter timer, in order to give players an opportunity to respond to the new rules

Return of a Cult? 25 Years After the Waco Tragedy, Why Another Ministry Is Rising in the Same Spot

On Feb. 28, 1993, agents with the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms raided the Texas compound of the Branch Davidian religious group after accusations that their self-proclaimed doomsday prophet, David Koresh, had been sexually abusing minors and stockpiling weapons. In an ensuing shoot-out, four federal agents and six Davidians were killed — though their deaths were only the beginning.

Manfred: Shorter MLB schedule would probably mean lower pay for players

Chicago Cubs first baseman Anthony Rizzo made headlines when he suggested he'd sacrifice pay to see the MLB schedule shortened.
