Nick Madrigal’s self assurance is again. “I feel as ready as ever right now,” he mentioned. It looks as if his sport is, too. After a lackluster efficiency all over spring coaching in February and March, the White Sox’ anointed 2d baseman of the longer term has achieved extra to differentiate himself all over summer time camp, taking part in just like the alert heart infielder with outstanding touch charges on the plate the Sox concept they have been getting once they drafted him fourth total in 2018. While missing energy in an age when virtually everyone seems to be knocking the ball over the wall, Madrigal has been slapping most commonly singles in Sox intrasquad video games, despite the

Tuukka Rask Comes Up Huge For Bruins In Overtime Victory Over Wild
Brad Marchand was the hero for the Boston Bruins on Sunday, but Tuukka Rask certainly deserves his own share of praise. Rask was stellar in the Bruins’ 2-1 overtime victory over the Minnesota Wild at Xcel Energy Center, stopping 24 of 25 shots. Boston’s goaltender has been on quite the run of late, posting an 8-1-1 record in his last 10 games. After the win over the Wild, NESN’s Andy Brickley and Alex Kraemer broke down Rask’s performance, as well as Patrice Bergeron’s. To hear what they had to say, check out the video above from “NESN Sports Today,” presented by People’s United Bank.
How brilliant is Juventus and Italy’s Gianluigi Buffon?
Gianluigi Buffon once joked that he could play until he is 65; as he turns 40, still at the peak of his powers, UEFA.com celebrates the 'Superman' of goalkeepers. What they say "I am amazed he has never won the Ballon d'Or. He certainly deserves it for everything he has done. For me, he is the best goalkeeper in the history of the game. He is a footballing icon – a true legend."Leonardo Bonucci, ex-Juventus and Italy team-mate"The fact Gigi Buffon started his career so young helped me a lot. If you see a young goalkeeper with the profile he had
Jim Hackett Replaces Mark Fields As Ford CEO Amid Management Overhaul
Share this: Ford started its week off with sweeping changes. The American automaker announced Monday that Mark Fields is resigning as CEO, ending a 28-year tenure with the company, according to a press release. He will be succeeded by former Steelcase CEO Jim Hackett. Fields reportedly stepped down amid pressure from investors, though company chairman Bill Ford praised the now former executive for helping Ford survive the recession. “Mark Fields has been an outstanding leader and deserves a lot of credit for all he has accomplished in his many roles around the globe at Ford,” Bill Ford said in a statement. “His strong leadership was critical to our North American restructuring, our turnaround at the end of the last decade, and our record profits in
Dybala in dreamland after Juventus stun Barcelona
Gianluigi Buffon knows a thing or two about football and when he talks about Paulo Dybala, he does not have many doubts. "He is good enough to be in the top five players in the world and wouldn't be out of place in the top three," Juventus's 39-year-old goalkeeper said of his team-mate, who shone brightest in Tuesday's 3-0 win against Barcelona.The 23-year-old struck twice with his lethal left foot inside the first 22 minutes of the UEFA Champions League quarter-final first leg in Turin. "He has come on enormously over the last two years," Buffon continued. "But now he needs to prove his class
Italy run deserves to be remembered
"Everything we have done will be forgotten in a few years. Nobody will remember this national team which gave absolutely everything."Listening to Andrea Barzagli's tearful words after Italy's penalty shoot-out defeat by Germany on Saturday night felt like a punch in the stomach. It hurt especially because the veteran centre-back is probably right. Simone Zaza and Graziano Pellè's spot-kick mishaps will likely obscure what was otherwise a wonderful campaign from the Azzurri. That would be wrong, though, because Italy had a great tournament despite coming up one penalty short of the world champions in Bordeaux....
UFC 189: Chad Mendes Wants, Deserves Another Shot At Conor McGregor
For a few minutes, Chad Mendes shocked the world. Mendes, a last-minute replacement for UFC featherweight champion Jose Aldo, more than held his own against Conor McGregor at UFC 189, before ultimately giving way to a technical knock out and losing the interim featherweight belt in the second round. McGregor, the current face of UFC, came out firing. The moment the fight began, the Irishman pounced at Mendes, launching punches like rockets blasting off to Mars. Mendes was slow, if not steady, and strategically made his moves. But with every Mendes strike landed, McGregor — eventually bloodied by a gash over his right eye — raised his arms and...
