How to Go to a Yankee Game -- 2016 Edition and other top stories.

  • How to Go to a Yankee Game -- 2016 Edition

    Hard to believe, but the 2016 Major League Baseball season is upon us. Opening Day for the Yankees is Monday, April 4. First pitch, against the Houston Astros -- still strange to see them in the American League, and the Milwaukee Brewers in the National League -- is scheduled for 1:05 PM. Every year, I do a series: "How to Be a Yankee Fan in (city name goes here)." For National League cities that the Mets go to, but not the Yankees, it becomes "How to Be a Met Fan in... " For NL cities in wh..

    Why the Caviar-Producing American Paddlefish Is a Symbol of ...
    Ever since relations between the United States and Iran grew strained after the Iranian revolution in 1979, as a nation, we have had limited access to the Caspian Sea, the sturgeon fish that reside there, and the roe contained in the bellies of female sturgeon. This roe of course constitutes the epitome of all luxury foodstuffs —€” caviar. Lore traces caviar's invention to the table of Batu Khan (grandson of Genghis) who returned home to a feast featuring the ovum after ravaging Moscow and Kiev..

    'Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.' Recap 3×14: Watchdogs and Mini ...
    Remember how everyone associated with the Marvel Cinematic Universe made a huge, unambiguous deal about how the movies were absolutely not tying in with Agents of S.H.I.E.LD.? (“Fish oil pills? Say whaaaaaat?”) Yeah, seems like AoS maybe hasn’t gotten that memo. Given the most recent batch of episodes, including this week’s “Watchdogs,” they’re clearly setting the stage for a small-scale civil war within the group of agents—just in time for this May’s Captain America: Civil War! Oh, hey. How co..

    Report: Hoyer, Texans will split
    APThe Texans and quarterback Brian Hoyer plan to part ways, NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reported Tuesday night. That’s no surprise given the way last season ended and that the Texans spent big money on Brock Osweiler to become their starting quarterback earlier this month. Rapoport’s report didn’t specify if a release was imminent or if the Texans would try to trade Hoyer. Hoyer is due to make $4 million in 2016 and be a free agent in 2017. Hoyer made nine starts for the Texans in 2015 after si..
