O campeão voltou? Botafogo domina o Fluminense, volta a vencer após quatro partidas e alivia pressão sobre Paiva

O Botafogo reencontrou-se consigo mesmo e voltou a vencer depois de quatro partidas irreconhecíveis. A vítima foi o Fluminense, que mesmo preservando os titulares no meio de semana, foi presa fácil para o atual campeão brasileiro. Apesar do 2 a 0, o domínio foi incontestável e o placar poderia muito bem ser mais elástico no estádio Nilton Santos. A vitória alvinegra faz a equipe subir várias posições e pegar o elevador na tabela de classificação, ocupando agora a primeira página, na sétima posição. O triunfo no clássico diante da sua torcida também alivia a pressão sobre o técnico Renato Paiva. Vitinho foi o autor do primeiro gol, em noite de subida de produção de várias peças de ataque, como Igor Jesus, Matheus Martins, que foi titular, e Savarino, que deu números finais ao marcador. Do lado do Fluminense, a derrota […]

Giants celebrate Brandon Crawford, walk off in the ninth

SAN FRANCISCO — On Saturday afternoon, Brandon Crawford stood behind a podium in front of the pitcher’s mound at Oracle Park and gave the longest speech of his life. It was the longest bit of public speaking he’d done since he was in school, by his own reckoning, and the speech made him “more nervous than Game 7 in Kansas City,” but he handled it with aplomb. A weekend day game with Bruce Bochy and the Rangers in town was already one of the easiest games on the calendar to circle, but the pregame ceremony made it even easier for the die-hards and Crawford fanatics. (Although we have questions for the gentleman in the powder-blue “CRAWFORD 35” Cardinals jersey in section 119. A lot of questions.)AdvertisementThe loudest cheers of the day weren’t for Crawford, though. They weren’t for the introductions […]
