Yankees turning attention to 2024 in the midst of `a disaster’ season

Published Wed, 25 Dec 2024 05:08:58 GMT

NEW YORK (AP) — “How We Do” blared from the clubhouse speakers as disco lights flashed to the rap. Aaron Judge took over the wrestling championship belt that Anthony Volpe had held since the rookie’s three-run homer sparked a win at Miami on Aug. 11.“He’s never going to get the belt back again if it’s going to lead to eight, nine losses in a row,” Judge said with a playful smile.Despite a feel-good 9-1 victory over Washington on Wednesday night that ended the Yankees’ first nine-game losing streak in 41 years, New York (61-65) is 9 1/2 games back of a playoff berth and on track to end its streak of winning seasons at 30.“That ain’t going to hit a 95 mph fastball worrying about the standings,” Judge said. “We’ve got to focus on what we can control here on the field and show up every single day.”Before the first three-homer game of Judge’s major league career, general manager Brian Cashman said the team was “really obviously disappointed, frustrated, angered.”“I don’t think anyb...

Spirit Aerosystems aware of quality issue on some fuselage units for 737

Published Wed, 25 Dec 2024 05:08:58 GMT

Airline supplier Spirit Aerosystems says it’s aware of a quality issue involving elongated fastener holes on the aft pressure bulkhead on certain models of the 737 fuselage it produces.The Wichita, Kansas-based company said because it uses multiple suppliers, only some units are impacted and it will continue to make unit deliveries to Boeing.“Boeing has determined that there is no immediate safety of flight concern associated with this issue for the 737 fleet and that the in-service fleet may continue to operate,” Spirit Aerosystems said in a statement.Aircraft manufacturers have wrestled with supply issues in recent years. Spirit Aerosystems builds the fuselage for Boeing’s 737 Max narrowbody jet and substantial sections of aircraft bodies in other of its models. The company builds components for Airbus aircraft as well. In April Boeing cautioned that production and delivery of a “significant number” of its 737 Max planes could be delayed because of questions about Spirit Aer...

Yevgeny Prigozhin — hot dog tycoon, warlord and mutineer — dead at 62

Published Wed, 25 Dec 2024 05:08:58 GMT

Yevgeny Prigozhin’s days seemed numbered the moment he had the audacity — some would say recklessness — to raise a mutiny two months ago and start his march on Moscow.The paramilitary boss’s demise hardly comes as a surprise to anyone who closely follows Vladimir Putin’s Kremlin — opponents of all types have met mysterious and untimely deaths, with a thud or a crash, poisoned, shot or tumbled out of windows. A neat suicide in a dacha is probably the best an adversary can hope for — and you only get that when a mess isn’t warranted. This time a mess would seem to have been officially authorized as a graphic warning to others — as a signal that Putin calls the shots. “A gangster killed by another gangster gangsta style,” was the laconic take of Adrian Karatnycky of the Atlantic Council when news broke Wednesday that a private jet with Prigozhin on board crashed near Moscow, killing him and another nine people, including one of his top paramilitary field commanders, Dmit...

Leaders of the BRICS group have decided to invite six more countries to join their alliance.Argentina, Egypt, Ethiopia, Iran, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates have all been invited to become members of BRICS, said South African President Cyril Ramaphosa, who hosted a three-day summit of the emerging markets group in Johannesburg this week.Their membership will take effect January 1, 2024.“We value the interest of other countries in building a partnership with BRICS,” Ramaphosa said. “We have tasked our Foreign Ministers to further develop the BRICS partner country model and a list of prospective partner countries and report by the next Summit.”The decision to broaden the grouping reflects a lack of progress in deepening the existing BRICS alliance, which despite representing a third of global GDP has diverging interests — ranging from China’s rise as a global superpower, to India’s nonalignment, to Brazil’s status as a farm exporter. Some of the new m...
