But now, as demand for information grows and competition among sites intensifies, the offerings are exploding. You can go to the Web for a diagnosis or a prescription....
Ethier, who played sparingly in the NLDS due to an ankle injury, was in the lineup for Game 1 of the NLCS. He played until being removed as part a double switch in the 13th inning. After the game, he was sore in the ankle and the rest of his body, leading manager Don Mattingly to leave him out of the starting lineup for Game 2. He pinch-hit in the ninth inning, striking out against St....
Baseball’s weird, man. Any way you slice it, there’s always some form of hijinx happening, somewhere, in some way. Just a few days ago, the Cubs turned their dugout into an IHOP, with Joc Pederson celebrating a home run with a waffle maker. Nicholas Castellanos got suspended for flexing. Noah Syndergaard can’t watch the Mets. Seriously, weird. So it’s no surprise that it didn’t take long for baseball to, once again, get weird Friday....

That reflects how the mainstream news media has characterized the year, and it is likely the way they will continue to characterize it, at least through the November election—when results might encourage them to abruptly change their tune. This is the theme that “Sleepy Joe Biden” hopes will carry him to victory in November. If enough people in the country have the sense that things are simply out of control and if enough people feel we are on the brink of a horrific collapse, the corrupt and confused former vice president might just be able to present his campaign as a “return to normalcy....

But does it matter?

Great original scores are hard to come by in today’s blockbuster landscape. Back in the ‘70s and ‘80s, composers like John Williams were penning extraordinary orchestral pieces that audiences still remember today to underscore the on-screen action in hits like Jaws and Raiders of the Lost Ark.
