Now they're looking to make another leap, and that process is already underway. Get the latest, news, weather, sports and community events delivered right to your inbox! The Saints are currently holding their summer workouts. They have 10 of their 15 players, with the other five currently playing internationally. The Saints are looking to bridge their success from last season to the upcoming season with this summer work. "We want to build on last year," said head coach Jim Jabir. "We had a lot of success. We set up a lot of good habits and I think the kids have grown a lot. Last year we wanted to teach them how to play, not necessarily give them a bunch of plays. Now we're starting to see some payoff on that so it's just a matter of building on that and continuing to grow, while incorporating the new kids."Junior guard and Guilderland...

BRONX, N.Y. (NEWS10) -- At the midway point of the Major League Baseball season, the New York Yankees boast the second-best bullpen earned-run average in the big's (3.11). And the return of Tommy Kahnle to staff has been a huge part of their success. Get the latest, news, weather, sports and community events delivered right to your inbox! The Shaker High School graduate has yet to allow a run in the 16 games he's appeared in since making his season debut on June 2 after starting the year on the injured list with bicep tendinitis. Not only has Kahnle held opponents scoreless, his 0.717 WHIP is the lowest on the team (Jonathan Loaisiga has a .600 WHIP, but has only pitched 3.1 innings.) But Kahnle - a seasoned veteran in his age 33 season - doesn't pay too much attention to the numbers. He's more pleased with how his role progressed in the first half of the season; seeing more late-game opportunities similar to when he first burst onto the scene for the Bombers in 2017."I don't wan...

I feel like I am waking up from a profound disability.I would like to explain all of this to my brother in hopes of reconciling. However, my doctors tell me to stay away from them, as being around their judgmental and self-righteous attitude could trigger a relapse.Should I let my close relationship with a sibling (and even closer relation...
