How to be perfect by mike schur6/24/2023 “I made two very bad pitches in that inning and they’re good hitters. “I can’t say what I was thinking there,” Mayers said with a chuckle. Willson Contreras followed with a single to center that stopped an 0 for 29 slide. “He did a great job today,” Arenado said. He retired 18 consecutive batters before Arenado lined a 1-0 slider to left on his 72nd pitch. Mayers, a 31-year-old left-hander who pitched for the Cardinals from 2016-19, made his third appearance for the Royals this season after eight starts at Triple-A Omaha. “For him to set the tone like that was unbelievable.” “That was one of the most exciting moments for me of the year,” Royals manager Matt Quatraro said. He made his first major league start in his 167th appearance and struck out two in a 1-2-3 inning, throwing 14 pitches. Staumont, a 29-year-old right-hander, served as the opener in a planned bullpen game for the Royals. The goal was to throw up as many zeroes as you possibly can and that’s the mindset I stayed in.” “You’re definitely aware of it,” Mayers said of a perfect game.

Hearts in Atlantis by Stephen King6/23/2023 Sometimes the stories feel like experiments, even exercises, and they can wear their craft on their sleeves-in the way the game of hearts symbolizes the quagmire of Vietnam, for instance, or in how each narrative employs a different prose style, from the loose-limbed third-person of ""Low Men"" to the tighter first-person of ""Hearts,"" and so on. ""Blind Willie,"" set in 1983, details the penance paid by a Vietnam vet for a wartime sin, as does ""Why We're in Vietnam."" The concluding tale, ""Heavenly Shades of Night Falling,"" revives Bobby and provides closure. The novella-length title entry, set in 1966 and distinguished by a bevy of finely etched characters, concerns a college dorm whose inhabitants grow dangerously addicted to hearts. A potent coming-of-age tale, the story connects to King's Dark Tower saga. The first, the novel-length ""Low Men in Yellow Coats,"" is the most traditionally King: an alienated youth, Bobby Garfield, is befriended by a new neighbor, the elderly Ted Brautigan, who introduces him to literature and turns out to be on the run from villainous creatures from another time/dimension. The stories proceed chronologically, from 1960 to 1999. By ""hearts,"" he means not just the seat of love but the card game, which figures prominently in the second of the five scarcely linked narratives in this full-bodied but disjointed omnibus, King's third (after Different Seasons and Four Past Midnight). By ""Atlantis,"" King means the 1960s, that otherworldly decade that, like the fabled continent, has sunk into myth.

When Diablo 3 launched in 2012 it even featured a secret level filled with rainbows and unicorns, named Whimsyshire, as a way to poke fun at its detractors. But, despite the protest, Blizzard refused to shift its design goals. The studio’s two fantasy settings began to look like companions rather than distinct universes. The two games undeniably spoke a similar visual language, and fans lamented that Blizzard’s colossally popular MMO behemoth was apparently eroding away the gothic menace of its stablemate. Or, to be specific, it was too World of Warcraft. And that was Diablo 3’s problem – it was too Blizzard. “It's a stylized feel and in that sense, it's very sort of a Blizzard philosophy”, said lead producer Keith Lee in an interview with MTV back at the time.

Quentin roosevelt ii6/22/2023 In one famous incident, Archie was sick in bed and Quentin coaxed the pony onto the White House elevator and up to Archie’s sickroom to cheer him up. 3 The Roosevelt boys’ pony, Algonquin, was often featured in their stories as well. The gang’s exploits ranged from carving a baseball diamond on the White House lawn to allegedly shooting spitballs at President Andrew Jackson’s portrait. He quickly became infamous for his adventures with the “White House Gang,” a group of boys that included his brother Archibald (Archie) and their friends from the Force School. Quentin was three years old when his father assumed the presidency after the assassination of William McKinley. Much of the public remembrance of Quentin in the days that followed reminisced about his boyhood in the White House. At only twenty years old, Quentin Roosevelt was dead. 2 Several days later, the worst was confirmed. Some held out hope that he had made a successful emergency landing and ended up as a prisoner of war. President Theodore Roosevelt’s youngest son had been a media favorite since his childhood in the White House, and Americans waited anxiously for news of his fate. On July 14th, 1918, less than four months before the end of World War I, Lieutenant Quentin Roosevelt’s plane was shot down behind German lines near Chamery, France. “Quentin’s mother and I are very glad that he got to the front and had the chance to render some service to his country and to show the stuff there was in him before his fate befell him” – Former President Theodore Roosevelt, J1 After we fell book pages6/21/2023 Revelations about her family, and then Hardin's, throw everything they knew before into doubt and make their hard-won future together more difficult to claim.
