CHICAGO — Pete Alonso blasted his 19th home run of the season Thursday night at Wrigley Field to keep his 60-homer pace alive, but the Mets had won the game long before that.The losing streak wouldn’t be prolonged this time as the club salvaged a three-game series by routing the Chicago Cubs, 10-1.The Mets (26-25) hit the Chicago bullpen hard. They spoiled the season debut for Kyle Hendricks and got a strong performance from Carlos Carrasco.The veteran right-hander needed a performance like this as bad as the Mets did. The right-hander was hit hard to start the season and bone spurs in his elbow landed him on the injured list. His first outing after coming off the IL against his former Cleveland team left many questioning whether or not the Mets could keep him in the rotation.But the pitcher they call Cookie held the Cubs (22-27) to just one run over 6 and 2/3 innings, marking his longest outing of the season. Carrasco allowed just five hits, walked two and struck out fo...Celtics storm to dominant Game 5 victory over Heat, force Game 6 in Miami

It just got interesting.Four nights ago, all hope looked lost for these Celtics. Their flaws were exposed in humiliating fashion, haunting them into a seemingly insurmountable 3-0 series deficit in the Eastern Conference Finals. They were stuck staring at what could have been a painfully long summer.But as slim as their chances looked, the Celtics still believed. They still believed they were the better team than the eighth-seeded Heat. They believed they could come back. They warned not to let them have one.Now they have two. And now there’s real hope again.The Celtics finally put everything together in the second half of Game 4 to keep their season alive. On Thursday night, they carried the momentum. They were locked in from the opening tip. They were relentless on both ends for 48 minutes. They refused to let this season end with a convincing 110-97 victory over the Heat in Game 5.These Celtics just love to play when their backs are against the wall. They forced a Game 6 in Miami...Aaron Boone sounds off on umps, but Orioles silence Yankees’ bats in 3-1 loss

Aaron Boone made plenty of noise near home plate Thursday night, but the Yankees’ bats didn’t in a 3-1 loss to the Orioles.The Yankees manager earned his fourth ejection of the season — and his third in 10 games — in the middle of the third inning after taking issue with home plate umpire Edwin Moscoso’s erratic strike zone. Boone got his money’s worth after getting tossed, as crew chief Chris Guccione had to get in between Moscoso and the fiery skipper.Boone has now been tossed 30 times as a manager. That’s seven more ejections than any other manager since Boone began the job in 2018, per statistician Katie Sharp. Boone also leads his contemporaries in ejections this season.While Boone likely uttered a few four-letter words at Moscoso, the Yankees couldn’t drop any bombs of a different variety on Baltimore’s pitchers. Instead, they totaled just two hits off Kyle Gibson, who twirled seven scoreless innings despite walking four ba...Anniversary of George Floyd’s killing: Changes were made, but short of ‘reckoning’ on racial justice

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — The murder of George Floyd at the hands of Minneapolis police, and the fervent protests that erupted around the world, looked to many observers like the catalyst needed for a nationwide reckoning on racism in policing.For more than nine minutes, a white officer pressed his knee to the neck of Floyd, a Black man, who gasped, “I can’t breathe,” echoing Eric Garner’s last words in 2014. Video footage of Floyd’s May 25, 2020, murder was so agonizing to watch that demands for change came from across the country.But in the midst of the deadly coronavirus pandemic, economic uncertainty and a divisive U.S. presidential election, 2020 ended without the kind of major police reforms that many hoped, and others feared, would come. Then, 2021 and 2022 also failed to yield much progress.Now, three years since Floyd’s murder, proponents of federal actions — such as banning chokeholds and changing the so-called qualified immunity protections for law enforcement — stil...Police search for suspect in Lawrence Heights stabbing

Cinema is a unique art because it combines many other forms of art. The staging of theater, the sound of music, and the special effects that can only be dreamed up by the dreamer. These are all important parts of cinema but a film can live without one of them if need be. The most important aspect of cinema, the one that cannot be forgotten, the one that must be utilized well in order for a film to work is lighting. Cinema is a visual art, we need to see it. And an optic nerve, just like a camera, needs light to see.Halle Bailey and Jonah Hauer-King in the Little Mermaid, courtesy of Disney.The Little Mermaid is not a film that forgot about its lighting. It’s a film that is very specific with the limited lighting it uses. Part of the reason is that a good chunk of this film takes place underwater. Ariel (played by Halle Bailey from Grown-ish) is a mermaid who yearns to connect with humans. She wants to go where they are, where the lighting is. Where she lives under the sea, the...Evergreen Park church cancels carnival set for June due to safety concerns
