10-pound pooch saves brother-pup, chases off coyote in Mission Viejo (video)

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 21:25:39 GMT

Backyard surveillance cameras captured the tense moments when a small Maltese dog saved his little brother by chasing off a coyote that had gotten the younger dog in its mouth.  The owners of the pooches, David and Erin Mascaluso, say the incident happened earlier this month after a coyote jumped in their backyard one evening. Their hero dog, 11-year-old Vinny, who weighs all of 10 pounds and has three teeth, was up for the challenge, they said.  “He’s always been a scrapper, oh yeah,” David told KTLA. “The first day we brought him home, I went and I pet him and he started growling at me.”  In video of the incident, the coyote can be seen jumping the fence and chasing Vinny’s brother, Harley, into a corner. After Harley is heard yelping, Vinny springs into action from the other side of the yard and chases the coyote off as Harley runs the other direction.  “You know, a little 10 pound, three tooth dog...and 11 years old chased off a 60-pound coyote,” David said. ...

Patrick Bailey has birthday to remember in Giants win over Pirates

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 21:25:39 GMT

SAN FRANCISCO — Anthony DeSclafani raised his eyebrows. He knew Monday was Patrick Bailey’s birthday, but he had no idea what age the rookie catcher had turned.“He’s 24? Really?” DeSclafani said. “Jeez.”Bailey is young, but in many ways this birthday showed how he plays beyond his rookie status in the Giants’ 14-4 trouncing of the Pittsburgh Pirates in front of a robust Memorial Day crowd at Oracle Park.First, the highlight plays. Bailey was one of six Giants to record a multi-hit game against Rich Hill and the Pirates bullpen. He was one of two to hit a homer.His second career home run in 10 big league games was his first at Oracle Park and his first as a left-handed hitter.His three-hit day also included a key two-run double (reaching third on an error) in the Giants’ five-run second inning that took some disciplined approach from a less-familiar right side of the plate, shortening his swing to slap Hill’s curveball the o...

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 21:25:39 GMT

(KRON) -- The Houston Astros' official Twitter account has deleted a tweet sent Sunday poking fun at the skimpy Oakland A's crowds over the weekend. "10 runs in front of tens of fans," the tweet read. It racked up more than 4,600 retweets, 17,000 likes and seven million views before it was deleted.The team sent out the tweet after Yordan Alvarez smashed his second home run of the day to give Houston a 10-1 lead, putting the finishing touches on a three-game sweep at the Coliseum. Public weighs in on Oakland Athletics’ Las Vegas stadium financing As it has been for much of the season, the Coliseum was mostly empty for the Sunday matinee. There was a reported attendance of 8,809, which makes up 19% of the stadium's capacity. The A's are last in MLB in attendance, drawing an average of 8,886 fans per game. Their pending move to Las Vegas has hurt their numbers -- they have drawn more than 10,000 fans just three times since news broke of the potential move on April 20. Houston got bl...

Chennai wins Indian Premier League in stunning finish against Gujarat

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 21:25:39 GMT

AHMEDABAD, India (AP) — The Chennai Super Kings have won the Indian Premier League for a record-equaling fifth time with a last-ball, five-wicket victory over the defending champion Gujarat Titans. Ravindra Jadeja plundered a six and a four from the last two deliveries against Mohit Sharma to help the Super Kings chase down a revised target of 171 runs in 15 overs. The IPL needed three days to complete the final. It was washed out on Sunday, started late Monday and finished after 1:30 a.m. local time on Tuesday. But it was worth it.Chennai was squeezed by medium-pacer Sharma in the last over and the equation got to 10 runs required off two balls. Sharma got his length wrong and Jadeja hit a straight six. Sharma then got his line wrong and Jadeja hit a four to fine leg to complete a stunning win.“I was just thinking I need to swing hard, as much as I can,” Jadeja said. “Where the ball will go, I was not thinking about that. I was backing myself and looking to hit straight, beca...
