Published Tue, 24 Dec 2024 18:37:59 GMT

Nolan Arenado was just a bit player at Coors Field Tuesday night. Until he swung his magic bat in the seventh inning, made the Rockies pay for Ryan McMahon’s costly error, and helped propel the Cardinals to a 9-6 comeback win over the Rockies.Arenado, the former Rockies star third baseman, hit a three-run double off Dinelson Lamet in the Cardinals’ four-run seventh, tying the game 6-6 and turning Coors into Busch Stadium West as the red-clad fans went into a frenzy.St. Louis won the game in the ninth against Pierce Johnson on a leadoff homer by Nolan Gorman, followed by a walk by Brendan Donovan, a sacrifice bunt by Tommy Edman and an RBI single by Paul Goldschmidt. Tyler O’Neill’s single scored Goldschmidt to give St. Louis its three-run cushion.Truthfully, Arenado should never have had the chance to play the hero.

Dog sickened after ingesting discarded drugs at Studio City park

Published Tue, 24 Dec 2024 18:37:59 GMT

A routine walk at a Studio Park last week turned into a medical emergency for one pet owner after his dog was sickened by drugs it had found on the ground.  Andrew Epstein told KTLA that he and his dog, Nova, walk in Woodbridge Park nearly every day, but that after one walk last week, his 4-year-old hound wasn’t herself when the pair returned home.  “Having trouble walking, wobbling, her eyes started getting glassy,” Epstein said of Nova’s condition at home.  After a visit to a 24-hour animal hospital, the vet informed Epstein that Nova had somehow ingested THC and cocaine.  “And that's when we were absolutely shocked, just stunned and the vet was asking, ‘Do you know what she ate, how much she ate,’ and we said, ‘We have no idea,’” he said.  It’s not the first time something like this has happened. In August, a 15-year-old rescue dog was permanently blinded after eating something containing oxycodone that it found while on a walk in Santa Monica.  Epst...

Published Tue, 24 Dec 2024 18:37:59 GMT

NEW YORK (AP) — An attorney for Donald Trump is seeking a one-month delay in the trial regarding a columnist’s claims that Trump raped her in a department store dressing room in the 1990s, contending that his client’s right to a fair trial depends on a “cooling off” period following the former president’s indictment and arraignment.The trial was set for April 25.
