All Aaron Hicks could do Monday night was wear it. He heard the boos, which were reminiscent of the ones that became Joey Gallo’s walk-up and exit music. The Yankees center fielder understands the frustration. He feels it. “I’m out there trying to compete and help this team win, obviously. It’s not nice to hear…

Greg Roman’s playbook, always a subject of intense scrutiny in Baltimore, is always changing, always growing, a living document in a sport of constant upheaval. The Ravens offensive coordinator said early in training camp that there’s “20% new stuff” in his inventory of calls. Then there’s the collection of run-pass-option concepts that coach John Harbaugh…

Made either as appetizers using diagonal slices of French baguette, or as open-faced sandwiches on larger slabs of rustic bread, these delicious treats are packed with flavor. Cherry tomatoes are the star with their alluring acidity and meaty texture. The orbs are broiled in a skillet, a process that collapses them to a just-right texture…

ANAHEIM — The ninth inning of the Angels’ 5-2 loss to the Seattle Mariners on Monday night will go down as one of the ugliest in a season full of ugliness. A collection of Angels errors and misplays led to the Mariners parlaying one walk and two hits into four runs, snapping a tie. With…

Eduardo Escobar is still not 100 percent, and the Mets kept him out of the starting lineup on Tuesday in favor of Deven Marrero. Escobar hurt his oblique in the team’s game on Friday night, was kept out of the starting nine on Saturday and Sunday, and likely wouldn’t have played on Monday if not…

It’s a change up for the Pinstripe Bowl at Yankee Stadium. The Yankees’ annual college football bowl game unveiled a new title sponsor Tuesday in Bad Boy Mowers, announcing a multi-year partnership with the lawnmower tractor company. The game will now be known as the Bad Boy Mowers Pinstripe Bowl. “We’re a bowl on the…

The Yankees were short again Tuesday. They were without DJ LeMahieu for the third straight game as the infielder was seeking a second opinion on how to deal with the inflammation in his right big toe, which was causing him discomfort when he swung a bat. The Bombers gamble that playing shorthanded will be better…

Undrafted wide receiver Shemar Bridges generated some buzz Thursday night with his outstanding performance against the Tennessee Titans in the preseason opener, but it’s just part of his long journey to the NFL. The 6-foot-4, 207-pound rookie out of Division II Fort Valley State finished with four catches for 62 yards, including a leaping 38-yard…

Stephen A. Smith promises he didn’t hold back in a new memoir about his life. The boisterous ESPN personality covers his childhood in New York City, his career as a journalist and issues he’s faced along the way in “Straight Shooter: A Memoir of Second Chances and First Takes,” publisher 13A announced Tuesday. The book…

Q: I’m a bit worried our “run it back” mentality will turn into the year after the Finals, when we got swept by the Bucks. We tried to patch the four spot with an undersized Moe Harkless, the same way it seems we’re going to try the same with Caleb Martin. Even if Caleb is…

The consequences of a series of fights involving teenagers at Knott’s Berry Farm continue to reverberate as the Buena Park theme park has banned unaccompanied minors from Knott’s Scary Farm during the annual Halloween after-hours event. Knott’s has extended a new chaperone policy to all nights of Knott’s Scary Farm, according to the theme park’s…

When children were forced to stay home as the COVID-19 pandemic took the world by storm, numerous voices called out in protest. In contrast to adults, children did not appear to be suffering from either a high burden of infection or a risk of severe complications, and the consequences of school closures were numerous, from…

ATLANTA — Making the All-Star team can be a funny thing. While it’s supposed to signify a great season, it can also just mean a guy enjoyed a very good first half. That was Taijuan Walker’s story last year. In his first go-round with the Mets, he also pitched in his first All-Star Game. At…
