Jon SooHoo/Los Angeles Dodgers

By Jon Weisman

It was a brutal, bloody game of King of the Mountain, a struggle, a scrambling boulder climb between two foes, toe-to-toe, claw to claw, slipping and soaring.

The clock ticked, baseball’s clock of outs counting down in its own unique measure. And when the final one drained away, one team stood.

The New York Mets will advance to play the Chicago Cubs in the National League Championship Series, having beaten back the Dodgers to win the deciding Game 5 of the National League Division Series, 3-2.

St.Louis Cardinals vs Los Angeles Dodgers

By Jon Weisman

Clayton Kershaw has earned a piece of National League Player of the Week honors, the sixth time the Dodger lefty has won or shared the honor.

Kershaw allowed two runs on 10 baserunners in 15 innings (1.20 ERA) while striking out 18 across two starts, one in Colorado, the other at home against St. Louis.

Kershaw shares this week’s award with New York Mets pitcher Jacob deGrom, who — believe it or not — also allowed exactly two earned runs on 10 baserunners in 15 innings (1.20 ERA) while striking out 18 across two starts. So that’s a fairly well-earned tie.

What happens when three old friends in crisis fall into an unexpected love triangle? In The Catch, Maya, Henry and Daniel embark upon an emotional journey that forces them to confront unresolved pain, present-day traumas and powerful desires, leading them to question the very meaning of love and fulfillment. The Catch tells a tale of ordinary people seeking the extraordinary – or, if that’s asking too much, some damn peace of mind.
