There’s a possibility that before this month is through, Congress could repeal most of Obamacare. But don’t confuse possible with likely. A proposal picking up steam right now among Republican senators has just as many — if not more — hurdles to get over as did all the other failed attempts to repeal Obamacare this year. Here’s what you need to know about the renewed attempt to repeal Obamacare and what must…

A spokesman for Mr. Mueller declined to comment. Lawyers and a spokesman for Mr. Manafort also declined to comment. Few people can upend Washington like a federal prosecutor rooting around a presidential administration, and Mr. Mueller, a former F.B.I. director, is known to dislike meandering investigations that languish for years. At the same time, he appears to be taking a broad view of his mandate: examining not just the Russian…

Putting postseason baseball on par with a midlevel college football bowl game, a stadium in Orlando, Fla., and NASCAR’s truck series, Major League Baseball said Monday it has signed Camping World to be presenting sponsor of the National League and American League championship series.

The focus of the baseball world over the previous two months of the season has been on two teams: the Dodgers, first as the second coming of the 1927 Yankees and then as the reincarnation of the 2003 Tigers; and the Indians, who spent three weeks laying waste to the league around them amid their 22-game win streak. Lost in the shuffle was the team that first laid claim to…

The Nationals couldn’t seem to get on third base during the early innings of Sunday’s ballgame. It was 1-0 Dodgers in the sixth inning when the Nationals put two runners on base. Jayson Werth stepped up to the plate and laced an 0-2 pitch down the line into left field. It was close and called foul by the third base umpire, Gary Cederstrom. If that ball is fair, and it…

Former Los Angeles Dodgers catcher, Steve Yeager, visited with some baseball fans on Sunday at the Congregation Beth Shalom in Canyon Country. Over 50 fans were welcome to a meet and greet with the world champion, taking photos and asking very specific baseball questions about the Dodger’s during Yeager’s time. “We asked if we could do something to help the kids in the neighborhood….

For Major League Baseball, 2017 has been a season of extremes. The Los Angeles Dodgers went on an extraordinary tear, winning 84 percent of the time during one 67-game stretch. Then they pulled a U-ie and lost all but one of their next 17 games. The Cleveland Indians entered the weekend Friday night having triumphed in 22 straight games, an American League record. Much of the baseball world’s attention, though,…

With a loss on Friday night, the San Diego Padres were simultaneously eliminated from postseason contention and ensured a losing record. Neither development registers as surprising. The only people who picked the Padres to make the playoffs were those unaware most prognosticators regarded San Diego as the majors’ worst team entering the season. The Padres’ distance from that indignity (they’re tied for the eighth-worst record in baseball) is a credit…

If the standings hold, the Dodgers…

DETROIT (AP) The record-setting Cleveland Indians have earned the admiration of an old rival – former Detroit manager Jim Leyland. ”Not at the Tigers’ expense, obviously, but I’m enjoying that Cleveland run,” Leyland said Friday. ”I think it’s exciting. It’s great for the city of Cleveland. It’s great for baseball. I wish it was the Tigers and not the Indians, but hey, it’s great what’s going on.” Cleveland had its…
