The Chicago White Sox finally freed their fall guy on Thursday morning, firing manager Pedro Grifol in what can only be described as one of the worst seasons in MLB history. Grifol was set up for failure, as Chris Getz has been vocal about embracing a rebuild on the south side of Chicago. The young manager didn't do himself any favors -- and surely even Getz didn't think things would get this bad -- but even the best of skippers wouldn't have made much of a difference managing a team this devoid of talent.

Actor Buddy Ebsen, who died at age 95 in 2003, found fame by starring in two of the most popular classic television shows in history: The Beverly Hillbillies (CBS, 1962 to 1971) and Barnaby Jones (CBS, 1973 to 1980). On the Hillbillies, he played former Tennessee country mountain-folk-turned-wealthy Beverly Hills resident Jed Clampett. On Barnaby Jones, he was one of TV's most senior, slyest, health-conscious detectives. Ebsen, however, almost became even more famous for a certain big-screen classic film in which he ultimately did not appear.

Gov. Ron DeSantis has issued a state of emergency in Northeast Florida and across much of the state as a tropical system appears almost certain to develop. The National Hurricane Center said Friday morning that a tropical wave has a 90% chance of developing into at least a tropical depression over the next seven days. Most models show it moving into the Gulf of Mexico and then coming ashore and crossing the state, possibly moving over Northeast Florida.

Lawrence Butler capped a three-run seventh inning with a go-ahead sacrifice fly, All-Star Mason Miller returned from the injured list with a 1-2-3 ninth and the Oakland Athletics earned a 3-2 victory over the visiting Chicago White Sox on Wednesday afternoon. Chicago lost Wednesday's rubber match one day after ending its American League record-tying 21-game losing streak. The White Sox remain winless this season when trailing after seven innings (0-66). Down 2-0 since the second inning, the A's rallied in the seventh against Chicago's bullpen. Brent Rooker opened the frame with a single against Touki Toussaint (0-2) and Abraham Toro drew a one-out walk. Armando Alvarez then singled to score Rooker and get Oakland within 2-1 before Zack Gelof greeted reliever Dominic Leone with a game-tying RBI single. Two batters later, with the bases loaded, Butler lifted his difference-making sacrifice fly to left. Tyler Ferguson preserved the 3-2 lead with a perfect eighth before Miller, wearing a splint on his broken left pinky finger, threw nine of his 13 pitches 100 mph or faster to secure his 16th save of the year. Miller hadn't pitched since July 22 due to the fractured finger. T.J. McFarland (2-1), who pitched a scoreless seventh, was credited with the win. Joey Estes worked the first five innings for the A's, allowing two runs and six hits. He struck out four without issuing a walk. The Oakland rally prevented Chicago starter Davis Martin from recording his first win of the season. He left with a 2-0 lead after shutting out the hosts on two hits over six innings, recording one walk and four strikeouts. Seeking their first winning streak since a three-game run in late June, the White Sox held the upper hand most of the way thanks to a two-run home run by Andrew Benintendi in the second inning. Benintendi's 11th home this season - and second in as many days - also scored Andrew Vaughn, who had doubled. The White Sox outhit the A's 7-6 on a day when Oakland won despite not recording an extra-base hit. --Field Level Media.
