SF Giants’ late comebacks built on bullpen, big at-bats: ‘It’s those little things that lead to these bigger moments’

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 01:58:35 GMT

SAN FRANCISCO — Stretching their winning streak to nine games, the Giants are seemingly finding new and exciting ways to eke out ballgames on a nightly basis. With five comebacks in the seventh inning or later, the late heroics are getting well-deserved attention.But the less-appreciated plays and performances that put them in position to set the stage for the late drama shouldn’t go overlooked.“It’s those little things that lead to these bigger moments that we talk about,” manager Gabe Kapler said. “The big moments will always tell the story of a season, but it’s kind of the little things that are leading to those big moments.”Before J.D. Davis hit his pinch-hit grand slam in Los Angeles, LaMonte Wade Jr. had to work a walk against a tough lefty to bring him to the plate. Smart baserunning by Mike Yastrzemski, tagging up from second and then from third on two flyballs, forced extras to set up his walk-off homer Monday night. The Giants also...

Former 49ers, Raiders linebacker Bill Romanowski owes $15 million in unpaid taxes, court filing says

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 01:58:35 GMT

Former NFL star Bill Romanowski and his wife dodged more than $15 million in overdue tax payments by siphoning money from their nutrition supplement company and using it to pay for plastic surgery, spa appointments and other personal living expenses, according to a civil complaint filed this week in federal court.The claims against the former linebacker and his wife, Julie Romanowski, come as the Internal Revenue Service seeks to finally collect on a ballooning tax bill for the East Bay couple dating back 25 years — one that has grown by millions of dollars since authorities first won a court decision a decade ago, authorities say.Most recently, federal prosecutors say the couple used a Solano County-based company they founded, Nutrition 53, to pay for their living expenses while avoiding payment on their outstanding taxes. On Wednesday, the Department of Justice asked a judge to foreclose a lien on the company — which hawked protein shakes from headquarters in Fairfield...

Aaron Rodgers talks about mental heath at a psychedelics conference

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 01:58:35 GMT

DENVER (AP) — An eclectic crowd of thousands — podcasters, vendors, startups, seekers — swarmed a psychedelics conference in Denver this week to experience everything from a dimly lit hall packed with kaleidoscope art and a wide-ranging lineup of speakers from a former Republican governor to NFL star quarterback Aaron Rodgers.The conference, put on by a psychedelic advocacy group, took place months after Colorado’s voters decided to join Oregon in decriminalizing psychedelic mushrooms. While it’s a sign of growing cultural acceptance for substances that proponents say may offer benefits for things like post-traumatic stress disorder and alcoholism, medical experts caution that more research is needed on the drugs’ efficacy and the extent of the risks of psychedelics, which can cause hallucinations.Rodgers, who’ll soon debut with the New York Jets after years with the Green Bay Packers, spoke Wednesday night with podcaster Aubrey Marcus. Rodgers described taking ayahuasca with his te...

ANAHEIM, Calif. (AP) — Los Angeles Angels infielder Gio Urshela is likely to miss the rest of the season with a broken pelvis.Angels manager Phil Nevin provided the update Wednesday on Urshela, who was enjoying a solid debut season for Los Angeles before he fell awkwardly at first base while trying to beat out his grounder June 15 at Texas.Urshela fractured his left pelvis in the fall. The Colombian veteran has seen two specialists to determine he won’t need surgery, but the rest and recovery time necessary to heal are likely to prevent him from playing again in 2023, Nevin said.Urshela is batting .299 with two homers and 24 RBIs for the Angels, who acquired the former Yankees infielder from Minnesota last November and signed him to an $8.4 million, one-year contract. He has filled all four infield positions for Los Angeles, playing primarily at third base and first base.His absence is a blow to the playoff hopes of the Angels, who are trying to end their eight-year playoff dr...
