The longtime Mets voice took to the airways before the Sunday night Dodgers-Mets prime-time matchup on ESPN to complain about the network holding up the game past its scheduled 8:05 p.m. ET start time. MORE: Darvish dominates in Dodger debut The “network stooge” counter stops at two. The “seven hours” comment is pretty telling of Rose’s stance on Sunday night games in general; he’s among those who feel Sundays should be for afternoon games for all teams across the sport....

According to The New York Times, the Mets front office plans to announce the hire of Carlos Beltran sometime next week. Beltran will replace former manager Mickey Callaway, who was fired by the team on October 22. Beltran played for the Mets from 2005 to 2011, and was a five-time All-Star pick and was awarded three Gold Gloves while playing with the team. Despite Beltran’s history with the organization, his alleged hire was not met with enthusiasm by some Mets fans as some believed the team would sign a bigger name like Joe Girardi, Buck Showalter or Joe Maddon....

It’s going to be all-marquee all weekend, with Jacob deGrom and Max Fried starting on Friday. The lights are going to be shining just a little brighter at Truist Park, as both of these teams have been jockeying all year. With just six games left on the year for both these teams, this series will be pivotal in determining the outcome. The Mets have a bit less work to do than the Braves do....

World Peace has only played in 29 games this season, averaging 13.4 minutes with 4.8 points and a .397 shooting percentage. His 2014 salary is $1.59 million. In addition to World Peace, ESPN reports the Knicks are also looking to buyout Beno Udrih's contract. 

“Truthfully, my head spins,” said Herrera Tuesday in an event to launch the Panini World Cup sticker collection in Mexico. Herrera also gave another hint that the players he already knows from Club America and the ones that he has seen adapt to his 5-3-2 during Mexico’s three friendlies so far in 2014 have an advantage. “(People) tell me that one (player) is better than another, and yes, but for what I want to do on the pitch, as coach, I have to decide who adapts quickest because there isn’t a lot of time,” stated the former Atlante manager....

OPINION: Fortune favors bold Mexico Hector Moreno’s late header secured a 2-2 draw in Kazan on Saturday in the teams’ opening Group A encounter at the Confederations Cup. Mexico started the better side but were undone when Cristiano Ronaldo set up Ricardo Quaresma to break the deadlock, and it looked as though Javier Hernandez’s header would not be enough for a point as Cedric Soares’ deflected strike restored Portugal’s advantage....

This game was a chance for Mexico to make a statement of intent, for a young group to show it’s ready not only to make a charge at the Gold Cup title but also for the top Mexico team. The only message the 11 starters sent in a 2-0 win over Curacao is that they’re going to need something more to win the Gold Cup. The good & bad for Mexico vs....

The best-known policy bid to build a border wall along the entire southern border—and to have Mexico pay for it—has failed. Former White House chief strategist Steve Bannon is even facing fraud charges over a private fundraising campaign to support the divisive project. But Mexico is also party to Trump’s re-negotiated version of NAFTA—the United States–Mexico–Canada Agreement—which the White House claimed as a victory for American workers and a reversal of long-term globalization trends that saw corporations shift manufacturing outside America in search of cheaper labor....

Lozano moved to PSV from Pachuca last summer and has been a success in the Eredivisie, leading the Dutch league with 14 goals. Lozano scored in a 3-0 victory over VVV Venlo last weekend, marking his return from a three-match suspension for his second red card in as many meetings with Heerenveen, and Osorio said one of the player’s next challenges is to become less emotional on the field....

It was a disappointing outing for Mexico, which stumbled to a 2-1 win over lowly New Zealand and lost Salcedo to an AC joint injury on Wednesday. Osorio lucky to lead El Tri to win Salcedo was forced to leave the field on a stretcher after landing on his shoulder during the first half of the Group A clash in Sochi. Mexico are unable to call in a replacement for the injured 23-year-old, who has joined Eintracht Frankfurt on loan from Guadalajara....

While appearing via video feed at his morning press briefing he usually holds at Mexico City’s National Palace, the president indicated that he had contracted the Omicron variant, the Associated Press reported. He said that “fortunately, this variant does not have the degree of danger that Delta did, and I am experiencing that.” López Obrador, who is fully vaccinated and received a booster shot, said that his symptoms were mild and felt “like a cold....

Mexico was right back to its group-stage ways Wednesday, thumping El Salvador 6-1 and likely qualifying for the U-20 World Cup in the process. This was what coach Marco Ruiz wanted to see, and had seen earlier in the tournament. El Tri moved the ball well in the midfield and smothered the Salvadorans, running out to a 3-0 lead after just 17 minutes. Liga MX not serious about change...

Juan Carlos Osorio has made four changes to his team overall, bringing Torres, Moises Munoz, Oribe Peralta and Jesus Molina into the starting side, while dropping Jesus Corona, Angel Sepulveda, Jorge Hernandez and Luis Reyes to the bench. Galaxy tight-lipped on Ibra Mexico opened the Gold Cup with a 3-1 win over El Salvador, taking a narrow edge in Group C over Jamaica, which opened with a 2-0 win of its own, on goals scored....

In a Tuesday interview with Fox Business anchor Neil Cavuto, Gelber said that DeSantis reopened the state’s business and vacation spots without clearly stating the COVID-19 prevention measures that visitors should observe. “I don’t think we’ve done a great job statewide,” Gelber told Cavuto. “What I think we didn’t do well enough was really preach to people with one voice that they need to wear a mask and be smart…....

The Miami Hurricanes took their player photos over the weekend, and decided to use some rather unconventional poses.

The Hurricanes open their season against Bethune-Cookman on Sept. 5.

The Miami newspaper’s Sunday editorial called “We’re looking like ‘Flori-duh’ again, Gov. DeSantis. Any idea how that happened?” said that for each positive step the Republican governor has taken, he’s managed to take two steps back. The publication is currently embroiled in a legal battle with DeSantis’ lawyers to release the names of all senior care facilities that have reported a positive COVID-19 test. On Sunday, the Miami Herald Editorial Board criticized the governor’s pandemic leadership as being “to the detriment of the rest of us....

The school said the retro uniforms were designed as a nod to the legacy and domination of the teams from the 1980s and ’90s; the Hurricanes won four national championships during that period.

Changes in the facial expressions of mice can be hard for the human observer to make out, so researchers at the Max Planck Institute of Neurobiology used machine learning. The algorithm was fed images of mice reacting to different stimuli—including quinine to provoke disgust, sucrose for pleasure, lithium chloride for malaise, escape to spark active fear and freezing for passive fear. “With our automated face recognition system, we can now measure the intensity and nature of an emotion on a timescale of milliseconds and compare it to the neuronal activity in relevant brain areas,” Nejc Dolense, who co-led the study, said in a statement....

Avenatti, who was once considered a potential presidential candidate himself, filed lawsuits on behalf of Daniels, seeking to invalidate a non-disclosure agreement over an alleged affair she had with Trump in 2006. Trump denies any affair occurred. The attorney suffered a mighty fall from grace after he was given a 30-month sentence in July 2021 for trying to extort up to $25 million from Nike. Judge Paul Gardephe said he had become “drunk on the power of his platform....

Conforto and Mets second baseman Robinson Cano were chasing a pop fly in shallow right in the fifth inning when they collided. Conforto fell to the ground and appeared to be out for a few seconds before getting unsteadily to his feet. MORE: Watch ‘ChangeUp,’ a new MLB live whiparound show on DAZN After manager Mickey Callaway and a trainer checked on him, he left the game and was replaced by Keon Broxton....
