World Series matchup exemplifies Orioles’ ideal offseason checklist | ANALYSIS

Published Mon, 23 Dec 2024 17:17:50 GMT

In 2021, three major league teams lost at least 102 games. Two years later, two of them — the Arizona Diamondbacks and the Texas Rangers — will meet in the World Series.The Orioles complete that trio of past losers, and although an American League Division Series sweep at the hands of the Rangers prevented them from reaching that same stage, their regular season featured more accomplishments than either club. After going 52-110 in 2021, Baltimore won 101 games and the AL East in 2023, enjoying what was comfortably MLB’s largest two-year improvement over the past century.If Texas claims its first championship, it will have only two more victories across the regular season and postseason than the Orioles managed, while it’s not possible for Arizona to catch Baltimore in that regard. Yet, the Rangers and Diamondbacks are in the World Series, and the Orioles are at home.Both teams, though, offer templates for Baltimore heading into the offseason. At his end-of-th...

Audi goes all electric with the ’23 Q8 e-tron

Published Mon, 23 Dec 2024 17:17:50 GMT

As Audi appears in the driveway this week with their EV flagship, the 2024 Audi Q8 E-tron, it’s not necessarily all the hype here. The Q8, RSQ8, Q5 and other recent Audi SUVs that we have tested seem to all have the same great features, excellent safety and security accouterments, sporty exteriors, and but what Audi has recently shown us, is that comfort is not the priority. As Volkswagen owns Audi and other brands like Lamborghini, Bentley and Porsche, we notice that Audi is the “Sporty Family” brand that consumers have come to enjoy in the company. But there is one big problem that is plaguing the brand… lack of comfort.Similar to VW’s Atlas and other Atlas-like take-offs, their SUVs have a very rough ride, rough for the driver, passenger and all rows of seating, the suspension demands an overhaul. As other brands have accepted that comfort is priority and have swallowed the pill, Audi seems to have run out of water. Wrapped in Plasma Blue Metallic, the color is superb. A 28...

WARSAW, Poland (AP) — Poland’s president said Thursday that he is calling the first session of the country’s newly elected parliament for Nov. 13.President Andrzej Duda’s announcement launches a timetable that will lead to the formation of a new government after Poland’s national election on Oct. 15. He must also announce a candidate for prime minister but said that decision would come later.Duda said there were two serious candidates for the post, the current prime minister, Mateusz Morawiecki, and Donald Tusk, a former prime minister who is the head of an opposition bloc that collectively won a majority of seats in the new parliament.Morawiecki belongs to the ruling conservative Law and Justice party. It won more votes than any other single party in the election but lost its majority in parliament and will not hold enough seats to govern the country. The party has said it considers itself the winner of the election and should be given the first chance to try to f...

Rajakovic era off to successful start as Raptors hold off Timberwolves

Published Mon, 23 Dec 2024 17:17:50 GMT

How to define success. Hmm.In professional sports, it should be easy: Winning. That’s why they keep score, that’s why the people who can contribute to winning get paid more — in theory — than those that don’t.But since only one team can win the last game of the season, get the trophy and call themselves champions, the definition of what is successful inevitably gets broadened depending on circumstance.No one around the Toronto Raptors has been talking about championships or trophies. They’re not that team, or don’t figure to be. They won 41 games last year and haven’t won a playoff round in four seasons.So as the curtain was finally lifted on the 2023-24 season and the start of the Darko Rajakovic era, the stated goals were less about specifics, and more about process as the new head coach gets a feel for his team and his role after taking over from Nick Nurse, who helped bring Toronto its first and only championship back in 2019.“A successful season for me, it’s really ...

As rainforests worldwide disappear, burn and degrade, a summit to protect them opens in Brazzaville

Published Mon, 23 Dec 2024 17:17:50 GMT

Leaders from countries with the largest tropical forest basins are meeting in the Republic of Congo on Thursday to work together to protect the forests from deforestation and destruction.Delegates from Brazil, Indonesia, Republic of Congo and dozens of other countries at the Three Basins Summit in Brazzaville are hoping to form a coalition of leaders from the basins of the Amazon, the Congo and Borneo-Mekong in Southeast Asia to discuss how to finance the protection of their wildlife-rich regions, which are also major sites for storing planet-warming carbon dioxide.The countries in the three basins have 80% of the world’s tropical forests and two-thirds of the Earth’s biodiversity, according to the World Wildlife Fund. But logging, forest degradation, loss of native species and extreme weather events fueled by climate change have the forests under enormous pressure that’s putting local economies and food security at risk. Despite pledges by governments and businesses to stop forest ...

European Union to press the leaders of Serbia and Kosovo to set decades of enmity behind them

Published Mon, 23 Dec 2024 17:17:50 GMT

BRUSSELS (AP) — The European Union is set to ramp up pressure on Serbia and Kosovo to normalize their relations by enlisting the leaders of three heavyweight member countries and senior officials to make a major push to get the former war foes to set aside decades of differences.Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic and Prime Minister Albin Kurti distrust each other and are not likely to meet face to face. But they are due to hold talks separately with the leaders of France, Germany and Italy, plus the two EU officials supervising a stuttering “dialogue” between them.The meetings in Brussels come on the sidelines of an EU summit. Fears are high of a resumption of the violence that characterized their ties during a 1998-99 war and since Kosovo unilaterally broke away from Serbia in 2008. Belgrade still considers Kosovo a Serbian province and has never recognized its independence. Both Kosovo and Serbia want to join the EU, but they’ve been warned that they must sort out their difference...
