But to a child–who knows? Even supermodel Paulina Porizkova’s fashionably biodiverse (and thoroughly disagreeable) The Adventures of Ralphie the Roach (Doubleday....

And when you look at the team’s record with and without the captain, that clamor was hardly surprising. Argentina dug deep to take a 2-2 draw against Venezuela last Tuesday, with Messi back in Barcelona recovering from an injury. Then, on Wednesday, the Albiceleste fell to a 1-0 defeat at home to Paraguay. It was the sixth match in which he has played no part during the 2018 World Cup qualifying campaign, and his absence has often been sorely felt by the nation....

Turner hammered two home runs and drove in five runs — all against Strasburg, whose only run support came on a Bryce Harper sacrifice fly in the first inning....

Miguel Veloso got the ball rolling with a spectacular strike from outside the box in the 20th minute, moments after his team failed to convert a penalty.
