WASHINGTON -- Something told me to get me over to East Potomac Park before Donald Trump destroyed it. Sure enough, I did, on a rainy Sunday morning, for a rally to protect the waterfront parkland from his axe. On the next weekend, he cut down 430 trees -- for a fancy golf course, of course.

Brewers complete sweep, end Dodgers’ 3-peat bid

LOS ANGELES (AP) — After 44 years, the Milwaukee Brewers are finally going back to the World Series. Propelled by a lockdown bullpen and repeated comebacks, the young and fearless Brewers swept the two-time defending champion Los Angeles Dodgers out of the playoffs Thursday with a 6-4 victory in Game 4 of the National League Championship Series. "We weren't coming in to play patty-cake," manager Pat Murphy said. "We were hungry, and as long as it's an even playing field, we're going to come in and give it our best shot to win. That's exactly what we did." Garrett Mitchell hit a ...

We have no seniors. They are willing to learn, willing to put in the work, and that's going to be a big thing for this season and next season, hopefully, as well.” Junior Kaleb Cochran ...
