Tigers first baseman Miguel Cabrera was displeased at seeing a “Fire Ausmus” sign, so he gave the fan a baseball in exchange for the sign. In what was a cordial barter, Cabrera spotted the sign during batting practice prior to Detroit’s game Tuesday at Wrigley Field. Though it’s been a tough season for the Tigers, who are 58-61, Cabrera did not want to see anyone calling for manager Brad Ausmus’ job....

The goal for Detroit in the event of a sell-off should be and will be to return to the top of the American League Central after this year snaps a four-year reign as division champions (Detroit is 9.5 games out heading into Tuesday’s games). Miguel Cabrera’s eight-year, $248-million extension kicks in next year, and while the 2013 Triple Crown winner is hurt now, he remains a player who can be at the center of a championship-caliber lineup....

Notably, though, Nintendo didn’t announce that the full trilogy of Mother games would join NSO just yet. EarthBound Beginnings and EarthBound, known as Mother and Mother 2 in Japan, won’t be reunited with Mother 3 on the Nintendo Switch just yet. This is in spite of Mother fans spending years demanding an official English localization of Mother 3. Nintendo has missed a major opportunity to curry favor with the Mother community by leaving Mother 3 out of the conversation once again, rather than giving it the acknowledgement it deserves....

In a recent live stream, Asmongold was once again greeted by thousands of players when he logged in, this time to welcome him to the new Heavensward expansion.

THQ Nordic didn’t go so far as to reveal the names of the games that will be making an appearance, though there are a few hints as to what they might wind up being. The first game appears to be a remake of what THQ Nordic describes as a “galactically beloved game/franchise”, which may hint at a sci-fi game potentially being remade. It’s unlikely that this would be a massive IP like Star Wars, though THQ Nordic did publish the remaster of Red Faction: Guerrilla, and it’s possible that another game from that franchise could be making a comeback....

Here are a few big issues Americans—and especially working parents—should ask about before jumping on the bandwagon in support of Biden’s plan. Childcare Spending: Biden’s plan promises to spend $1 trillion, $225 billion of which is tagged for “child care.” But what does this mean exactly? Is that spending just going to be layered on top of existing grants to states in support of their existing child care programs?...

“It’s ludicrous to assert that we would trade Kevin,” Presti told The Oklahoman. “There’s no way to measure what he represents to our organization on and off the floor. He has helped build this organization from the ground up and personifies the Thunder: past, present and future. When he’s done playing there will be streets named after him throughout the state and younger generations of Oklahomans will learn about the role Kevin has played in elevating this community in ways beyond basketball....
