The Los Angeles faithful booed Roberts excessively in Game 5 of the Nationals League Championship Series after a string of pitching decisions came up rotten. First, Roberts left starter Clayton Kershaw in for the top of the eighth inning with a two-run lead and the former Cy Young winner gave up home runs on consecutive pitches to tie the game. Then, after Joe Kelly delivered a perfect ninth inning and extra innings were forced in a 3-3 tie, Roberts left the righty in for the 10th....
One of the outcomes of this gravitational struggle could see NGC 7752 ripped apart and its stars dispersed into the larger spiral galaxy, a form of cosmic cannibalization that links these galaxies to our own. The larger spiral galaxy is NGC 7753, and its smaller galactic companion, known as NGC 7752, both lie in the constellation of Pegasus. The fact that the smaller galaxy appears to be attached to the larger galaxy led to the two being added to the Atlas of Peculiar Galaxies compiled by the astronomer Halton Arp in 1966, with the designation Arp 86....

The gathering is an annual event organized by the World Economic Forum (WEF), a non-governmental organization that says it is dedicated to promoting “dialogue and collaboration between business, government, and civil society.” This year’s Davos is taking place from 16 to 20 of January, with political attendees including U.S. climate envoy John Kerry, European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen, and Chinese Vice Premier Liu He.

The Blues put a deal in place for the Belgian midfielder back in 2012, but would offer him just nine first-team appearances before he was offloaded to Wolfsburg two years later.
