WASHINGTON — The energy and outrage of the Democratic resistance faced off against the brute strength of President Trump’s GOP on Tuesday as voters across America decided whether Democrats should control at least one chamber of Congress for the first time in the Trump era. Fundraising, polls and history were not on the president’s side. But two years after an election that proved polls and prognosticators wrong, an air of uncertainty — and stormy weather across parts of the country — clouded the... Читать дальше...

It’s only a matter of days before we gain clarity on the Giants’ great unknown. The faces in charge of baseball operations will be entirely new, with Brian Sabean retreating into the background, and there isn’t likely to be much sentiment toward mainstays of the team’s glory years. Whoever the new honchos might be, let’s hope they make an exception for Madison Bumgarner. If I’m a Giants fan, I don’t want him going anywhere. In picking up Bumgarner’s club option for the coming season, the Giants set themselves up for a Bumgarner trade. Читать дальше...

ATLANTA (AP) — Voters in one of the nation's most closely watched governor's races cast ballots Tuesday amid an ongoing dispute about one of the candidates' management of Georgia's elections system, leaving open the possibility that supporters on the losing side may not accept the outcome. Republican Brian Kemp and Democrat Stacey Abrams are meeting in one of the signature contests of the 2018 midterm elections, with potential outcomes ranging from the election of America's first black female governor to another four weeks of bitter...

The feel-good story of Nick Mullens will continue playing in prime time. On Tuesday, the 49ers’ recently anonymous third-string quarterback said head coach Kyle Shanahan told him he would remain the starter when the 49ers host the Giants on Monday night. Mullens, 23, earned a second career start based on his impressive debut before a national audience in a 34-3 romp over the Raiders on Thursday night. He completed 16 of 22 passes for 262 yards with three touchdowns and no interceptions. His passer... Читать дальше...

Houston right-hander Lance McCullers Jr. will miss all of next season following Tommy John surgery. The Astros announced McCullers had the ulnar-collateral ligament in his right elbow repaired Tuesday. The 25-year-old was 10-6 with a 3.86 ERA in 22 starts and three relief appearances this year, striking out 142 in 1281/3 innings. He was 10-4 before the All-Star break, then went on the disabled list from Aug. 5 to Sept. 24 because of elbow discomfort. McCullers returned for the final week of the... Читать дальше...

LAS VEGAS (AP) — A neck-and-neck race in Nevada could be the Democrats' best chance of taking the majority in the U.S. Senate, but for their slight path to victory to run through this battleground state, Republican Dean Heller would have to lose his first election in three decades. Heller is the only GOP senator seeking another term in a state Hillary Clinton won. He was once a critic of President Donald Trump but is now banking on the president's political power to carry him across the finish line. Читать дальше...

With voting for the 2018 Ballon d’Or closing this week, Antoine Griezmann boosted his chances of lifting the most prestigious individual trophy in soccer with an inspired display and a goal in his 50th Champions League game Tuesday. Griezmann helped Atlético Madrid bounce back from a heavy loss to Borussia Dortmund with a 2-0 win over the German club, a result that sent last year’s semifinalist Monaco crashing out. Liverpool was handed a stunning 2-0 loss at Red Star Belgrade. Barcelona, without Lionel Messi... Читать дальше...

Maryland interim head coach Matt Canada faces an uncertain future, despite keeping the team together and forging a winning record amid the chaos surrounding the program. When this season ends, Maryland will be looking for a head coach to replace DJ Durkin, who was fired last week. Canada might be asked to apply, given that he has juggled the jobs of interim head coach, offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach well enough to keep the Terrapins (5-4, 3-3 Big Ten) in the hunt for a bowl bid entering Saturday’s game at Indiana (4-5, 1-5).

Pittsburgh quarterback Ben Roethlisberger sat out practice on Tuesday to give his broken left index finger a rest but he is expected to play Thursday night when Carolina visits Heinz Field. Roethlisberger said the finger was “fine” after he threw the ball 47 times in Sunday’s victory over Baltimore. He did leave the game briefly in the third quarter after getting the wind knocked out of him, but he returned after missing just one snap. The 36-year-old is on pace to top 5,000 yards passing for the first time in his career. Читать дальше...

Nick Mullens and Eli Manning are both quarterbacks who played college football in Mississippi. And that’s about where the similarities end. Mullens, 23, is an undrafted free agent with one career start. Manning, 37, is a former No. 1 overall pick with two Super Bowl rings. Put it this way: Mullens has thrown 22 career passes and Manning once made 222 consecutive starts. Still, Monday night, when Mullens and the 49ers host the Giants and Manning, won’t mark the first time the disparate QBs have shared the same field. Читать дальше...

Joel Quenneville knew the deal. After three Stanley Cup titles and nine playoff appearances with Chicago, the longtime head coach figured this was a big season for him. “I only think we’re in the winning business and we better win,” Quenneville said on the first day of training camp. Two months later, it was over. The Blackhawks fired Quenneville on Tuesday, ending a wildly successful run that returned the franchise to the top of the NHL after years of heartache. “This is certainly a very difficult...

CARLSBAD, San Diego County -- Not often does an executive of the A’s or Giants go on record discussing the team across the bay, but A’s general manager David Forst made an exception Tuesday when suggesting Farhan Zaidi would be a perfect fit to run the Giants’ front office. “He’s a great candidate for that job,” Forst said at the GM meetings. “It’s a great job. It’s a great organization.” The Giants offered Zaidi the opportunity to take over their baseball operations department, it was learned, and the figurative ball is in his court.

With his team winless after six games and 1-7 after eight, St. Ignatius head coach John Regalia wasn’t remotely contemplating the postseason. Not until he was informed Sunday that the Wildcats (3-7) had been seeded seventh in the Central Coast Section Open Division 3 playoffs did it finally sink in. “The entire focus every week was simply getting better,” Regalia said. With wins by a combined score of 69-0 the past two weeks, the Wildcats got much better and now are probably the one team in D3 nobody wants to play. Читать дальше...

ATLANTA (AP) — The Latest on voting problems in the midterm election (all times local): 7:13 p.m. Georgia Republican gubernatorial candidate Brian Kemp — who is also in charge of the state's election — had problems voting. The Georgia governor's race is one of the most closely-watched in the country, due in part to an ongoing dispute over Kemp's management of the election system. Kemp had an issue with his voter card when he went to cast his ballot, but it was fixed quickly. He walked by reporters and said... Читать дальше...

WASHINGTON (AP) — Polls were closing across the East Tuesday evening as the energy and outrage of the Democratic resistance faced off against the brute strength of President Donald Trump's GOP in a fight for control of Congress and statehouses across the nation. Fundraising, polls and history were not on the president's side. But two years after an election that proved polls and prognosticators wrong, an air of uncertainty — and stormy weather across parts of the country — clouded the outcome of... Читать дальше...

As if losing four of its past five games wasn’t trying enough, Stanford will be without its best receiver, JJ Arcega-Whiteside, for Saturday night’s game against Oregon State. He sustained an apparent injury to his right ankle when he was tackled by Washington’s Byron Murphy after an 11-yard reception in the second quarter of the 27-23 loss to the Huskies on Saturday night in Seattle. He left the field on a golf cart. “Barring a miracle,” he’ll be sidelined this week, head coach David Shaw said Tuesday. Читать дальше...

WASHINGTON — The Supreme Court in its first decision of the new term ruled Tuesday that the federal ban on age discrimination applies broadly to state and local governments, even to a small fire department that has only few employees. The unanimous decision clears the way for two laid-off firefighters in Mount Lemmon, Ariz., to sue the fire department for age discrimination. They were the two oldest full-time firefighters, but the city’s lawyers argued the federal law did not cover them. At issue... Читать дальше...

The Vikings, Broncos, Texans and Ravens being off in Week 10 means there are plenty of bye-week players to replace in lineups. You’ll be without the likes of Adam Thielen, Kirk Cousins, Phillip Lindsay, Emmanuel Sanders, DeAndre Hopkins and Deshaun Watson this week. Work the waiver wire aggressively and with a forward-looking focus. Running backs Duke Johnson Jr., Browns: Johnson caught nine passes for 78 yards Sunday, and with Cleveland lacking a quality second wideout, he should remain in the flow. Читать дальше...

Facebook said it blocked 115 accounts for suspected “coordinated inauthentic behavior” linked to foreign groups attempting to interfere in Tuesday’s midterm elections. The social media company shut down 30 Facebook accounts and 85 Instagram accounts and is investigating them in more detail, it said in a blog post late Monday. Facebook acted after being tipped off Sunday by federal law enforcement officials. Authorities notified the company about recently discovered online activity “they believe may... Читать дальше...
