  The baseball off-season has begun. So has a practice that’s become a rite of autumn: MLB owners tempering their fans’ expectations through the media.
  Just this week, reports out of Chicago and St. Louis suggested the Cubs and Cardinals won’t use the coming months to out-bid each other for star free agents Anthony Rendon or Gerrit Cole. By now, such headlines barely register as news. Baseball rivalries aren’t often measured in raw dollars and cents.

  After seeing one of their steadiest efforts of the season go to waste in Toronto, the Kings ramble on to Ottawa to face the rebuilding Senators on Thursday.
  The Kings (5-10-0) stumbled versus the Maple Leafs after standing their ground against the high-octane Leafs for more than 50 minutes of action Tuesday. Two goals in 30 seconds late in the third period signaled the Kings’ undoing in a game where they generally played with poise and structure.

  1. In autumn, tomatoes often grow beautifully but stop producing. To be sure you get at least one more crop from them this season – first, stop watering the tomatoes and trim back the tops of the plants a few inches (not much). Then “root-prune” them by inserting a shovel its full length down one side of each plant near the trunk. This shock treatment will stimulate them to form more fruit. Water only if and when the plants wilt; and if frost comes before they ripen completely,
