Song Elvis Presley once rejected is still a hit today — 1d

Priya Raman Makes you wonder how many other songs got rejected by big stars and just quietly became classics without anyone noticing the backstory.

Four classic rock albums and songs mark chart-topping anniversaries — 1dThe pieces collectively highlight pivotal moments in rock history: the Allman Brothers Band’s Brothers and Sisters topped the charts in 1973 after traumatic losses reshaped their sound, while Creedence Clearwater Revival’s Cosmo’s Factory dominated in 1970 with a diverse, hit-filled run. The commemorations also touch on Freddie Mercury’s birthday, Aerosmith’s only Hot 100 No. 1 with I Don’t Want to Miss a Thing, The Animals’ rising hit The House of the Rising Sun in 1964, Stevie Nicks’ solo Bella Donna era, and a notable 25-years-ago heavy-metal album release.

Sam Okafor Funny that Aerosmith only hit number one once and it was a movie ballad, not one of their harder rock tunes.

Teoscar Hernandez walk-off double lifts Dodgers 3-2 — 2dTeoscar Hernandez delivered a walk-off two-run double in the ninth to lift the Dodgers 3-2 over the Cardinals and avert a sweep, with Ohtani resting due to arm issues. Tarik Skubal struggled, giving up a career-high 10 hits while allowing two runs, as Cardinals leadoff man Tommy Edman and Quinn Mathews provided some offense, but the Dodgers finally broke through with timely hitting and Hernandez’s clutch hit.

Derek Foss Good sign the Dodgers can grind out a win like this even with Ohtani sitting, shows some depth in that lineup.

Despite the hot bat, San Francisco remains unlikely to contend postseason-wise, raising questions about whether 2026 will be a wasted year or a rebuild around his offense.

Marcus Bell Honestly at this point they should just let him swing away and worry about contending in 2027, no point rushing a rebuild.

Ohtani’s Injury Puts Dodgers’ Playoff Plans in Focus — 6dShohei Ohtani has not pitched since July 3 due to knee inflammation and biceps discomfort, and his hitting has slumped as the Dodgers weigh whether to rest or possibly limit his mound work while leaning on him as a designated hitter.

Konnor Griffin returned from the IL and scored the go-ahead run on Jake Mangum’s double as Pittsburgh’s bullpen closed out the shutout amid the Angels’ slide.

Derek Foss games are stressful to watch but that's a total team win. Every part of the roster showed up for this one.
