Going into the upcoming season, Beal is focused on winning a championship. The goal is a lofty one for a team that hasn’t made it out of the first round of the playoffs since the 2016-17 season. Despite that, with a productive offseason behind them, where they acquired Delon Wright, the Wizards could make a statement. During a recent interview with NBC Sports Washington, Beal spoke about his goals for the season:...

The incident was first reported on September 30 by a park ranger who notified the Appalachian Bear Rescue care facility of a cub lying on the road, still breathing. “The rangers clapped their hands and the cub got up, staggered to the side of the road, and climbed about five feet up a tree, settling into a crook,” the rescue facility said in an October 1 Facebook post. A ranger also spotted what was assumed to be the cub’s mother and two siblings in the distance on the opposite side of the road....

In many ways, Square Enix started the Bravely Default series to seemingly reboot Final Fantasy. It actually began as a sequel to the DS game Final Fantasy: The 4 Heroes of Light, before it got retooled into its own thing. Now, three games later, Bravely Default is just as beloved by some as some of the earlier games in the Final Fantasy franchise. RELATED: 10 Pro Tips To Know Before Starting Bravely Default 2...

How popular Bravely Default 2 will actually prove to be is still up in the air however. While there are elements players enjoy, many agree there are also just as many frustrating parts, mainly centered around lack of innovation or new features that add more grind. One new feature that has added some confusion among players are the Collectible Resources, so here’s a quick rundown on what they’re used for....

In Bravely Default 2, there is a subset of enemies known as Rare Monsters. There are 14 Rare Monsters scattered across Excillant. Most can be fought without accepting the respective quest, but players want to be at the appropriate level. While the Rare Monsters can drop powerful weapons/armor or useful items, they are considered Rare Drops, thus not 100% guaranteed.

Gonzalez was ejected in the bottom of the ninth for arguing a call that was overturned on replay. After much discussion, the Mets’ Eric Campbell was ruled safe at second on a bunt play when replays showed Braves shortstop Andrelton Simmons came off the bag too soon as he took a throw and relayed to first. “It was one of the worst calls I’ve ever seen,” Gonzalez said. The “neighborhood play,” as it’s known, is not reviewable under instant replay rules....

Craig Kimbrel has unfinished business. More accurately, he has “unstarted” business. The Atlanta Braves’ closer wanted the ball in the eighth inning of Game Four of the National League Division Series, as Atlanta held a one-run lead over the Los Angeles Dodgers. He never got the chance. Yasiel Puig doubled off setup man David Carpenter, Juan Uribe homered and all three Atlanta batters in the ninth inning struck out. It has been a long winter for Atlanta to think about the way the season ended, and wonder how good of a chance slipped away....

Atlanta announced Monday that Acuna, along with five other players, was assigned to minor league camp. Acuna, 20, was slashing .432/.519/.727 with four home runs, 11 RBIs, four stolen bases, and eight runs scored through 16 games in the Grapefruit League, but the Braves will delay his service time clock in order to gain an extra year of contractual control. In an average year, there are 183 service days in a major league season (162 games and 21 off days)....

Point began his offensive onslaught with 2.7 seconds remaining in the first period and the Lightning with a two-man advantage. He rifled the puck past Pittsburgh Penguins goaltender Matt Murray off the post and in to put Tampa Bay on the board. It did not take long for Point to continue his scoring prowess. He netted his second goal 41 seconds into the second period. After getting a quality feed from Steven Stamkos, Point one-timed the puck to tie the game 2-2....

Point has been dealing with a lower-body injury. It was a non-contact injury that he suffered when trying to stop and pivot against the Leafs. He fell down to the ice, immediately grabbing at his right hip. He attempted to play another shift, but he was clearly in pain and unable to put much weight on the leg. We have not seen him skate with the team since. Despite the loss of their top-line center, the Lightning’s hopes of a three-peat are very much still alive....

England captain Kane suffered an ankle injury during the closing stages of Spurs’ 1-0 defeat at home to Manchester United in January.
