The winning design features our city’s iconic skyline, Statue of Liberty, Niagara Falls and a Long Island lighthouse. The design finishing a close second, submitted by Stitches, featured construction cones, falling subway debris, our mayor laughing as water buckets are tossed at N.Y.’s Finest and costumed characters in Times Square inappropriately groping passersby.
Christian Who? It appears the Brewers are going to qualify for the postseason, defying the experts who predicted their demise after Christian Yelich’s kneecap shattered. They’ve not only survived, they’ve thrived, going 10-2 since. Milwaukee is in Cincinnati. Jordan Lyles has been cruising, 4-0 in his last seven starts, allowing three runs over his last 15 innings. The Reds’ Tyler Mahle,
2-11 on the year, one-hit the free-falling Cubs. But Mahle was mauled in his previous pair, surrendering nine runs over 7 ²/₃ innings. Play 10 units on the Brew Crew.
Jose Ramirez hit a grand salami in the opening frame, added a 3-run homer later and the Indians trounced the Chisox 11-0. Mike Clevinger went seven for the W. Skid’s over but we’re down -824 colavitos.
