Bridge: July 21, 2023

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 13:55:35 GMT

“My husband and I used to let all the little frustrations of our marriage surface at the bridge table,” a club player told me. “I guess many couples are like that. We argued so much we got counselling.”“Did that help?”“We still argue, but now we call it ‘sharing.'”My friend said she and her husband were today’s East-West.“South played at four spades after my husband opened 1NT. He led the king of hearts, and I signaled with the nine. When he continued with the ace and eight, declarer ruffed, drew trumps and led the queen of clubs.”LAST HEART“West played low, but South overtook with the king, ruffed dummy’s last heart and led another club. My hubby won but had to lead a diamond or club, and South made game.“I shared that my husband should lead a low heart at the second trick. On the bidding, I was more likely to have the queen than a doubleton. I’ll shift to a diamond, and we get four tric...

UK by-elections: How the parties are spinning a something-for-everyone night

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 13:55:35 GMT

LONDON — A triple whammy of by-elections in the U.K. has given everyone in Westminster something to cheer — and someone to blame.Rishi Sunak’s Tories took a beating in two out of the three contests for House of Commons seats held Thursday, as Labour and the Liberal Democrats overturned huge majorities in the Yorkshire seat of Selby and Ainsty and in Somerset’s Somerton and Frome respectively.But an unexpected, if narrow, hold for the Conservatives in Uxbridge and South Ruislip — Boris Johnson’s old seat — complicates the narrative. And poses big questions for Labour’s own operation.Here’s how last night’s, er, three winners — Labour, Tories and Lib Dems — all tried to spin the by-elections as the dust settled Friday.Keir Starmer’s LabourThe thumping win in Selby has been put front and center by an opposition party eyeing a general election victory in 2024.It’s little wonder, since the new 25-year-old MP Keir Mather overturned a 20,000-plus majority in what was seen as a safe seat fo...

Column: Pat Hughes, longtime Chicago Cubs radio voice, is ready for his day in the sun — receiving the Frick Award

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 13:55:35 GMT

Pat Hughes considers himself one lucky guy.“When I was in college, if anyone would’ve said you’re going to have a long career and be in the big leagues for five years, I would’ve said, ‘Great, sign me up,’” Hughes said. “Now 41 years, it’s almost ridiculous. It’s so sublime it’s incomprehensible. How did I get here?”The answer to that question seems obvious to anyone who has followed his career. Hughes worked hard at his craft, was dedicated to learning everything he could about the game and its players, became a respected and beloved voice of the Chicago Cubs and performed his job long enough and well enough to earn the Ford C. Frick Award for excellence in broadcasting. Saturday afternoon at Doubleday Field in Cooperstown, N.Y., a day before the National Baseball Hall of Fame inductions of Scott Rolen and Fred McGriff, Hughes will be honored by the Hall and receive his plaque, putting him in the company of Cub...

Inconsistent Chicago Cubs suffer a sloppy 7-2 loss to the St. Louis Cardinals in the opener of a 4-game series

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 13:55:35 GMT

The Chicago Cubs’ season has been mired in mediocrity.Consistency and positive momentum continues to elude a team needing to make up ground in their effort to get to .500 and climb back into the division race. Closing out their series win against the Washington Nationals with two victories and 25 runs scored didn’t carry over into their series opener Thursday versus the St. Louis Cardinals.The Cubs couldn’t get much going offensively with left-hander Steven Matz on the mound. They finished with six hits in a 7-2 loss to a Cardinals team that has won six straight and quickly pulled within 1 1/2 games of the third-place Cubs (45-51).Marcus Stroman struggled to get in a groove, and the infield defense didn’t help him. Third baseman Patrick Wisdom’s two-out fielding error in the first extended the inning, which set up Willson Contreras to put the Cardinals ahead 1-0 on a double. Stroman was able to work around a Wisdom throwing error in the second, getting ...

As Orioles exceed expectations, trade deadline gives front office the chance to do the same | ANALYSIS

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 13:55:35 GMT

If it were up to Kyle Gibson, the Orioles would be all-in on 2023.The 35-year-old starting pitcher reached the World Series last year with the Philadelphia Phillies and would love a repeat with Baltimore after signing a one-year, $10 million deal this offseason. But Gibson also understands the front office will approach the Aug. 1 trade deadline with more than the following three months in mind.“They’re working with a vision that’s not just this year, but it’s this year and five years, right?” Gibson said. “They have a lot different job. For me, it’s like, yeah, I would worry about this year and that’s it, and then when you hit the next year, worry about next year. But obviously, that’s not how a Major League Baseball team is able to operate.”Fueled by executive vice president and general manager Mike Elias’ “liftoff from here” comment in the wake of last year’s deadline — in which the Orioles ...
