Loons ‘lucky’ to have new center back Micky Tapias

Published Fri, 15 Nov 2024 07:31:36 GMT

New Minnesota United center back Micky Tapias produced a strong MLS debut in the Loons’ 1-0 win over FC Dallas on Feb. 25, but the first impression wasn’t spotless. What stood out was how the 26-year-old Mexican responded to a rare, and potentially catastrophic mistake.Just after halftime, Tapias lost the ball at midfield and Alan Velasco started a Dallas break. Tapias sprinted back, knowing his error might lead to a scoring chance in a then goal-less match.Seconds later at the top of the box, Tapias won the ball back from Paul Arriola — one of Tapias’ game-high eight clearances in his 90-minute shift. When Dallas kept coming in stoppage time, Tapias was there to deny them.With Tapias in the opener, the Loons produced their first road clean sheet in nearly a calendar year, 16 matches since March 13, 2022. MNUFC conceded only one shot on target against Dallas, and that was on a corner kick easily parried over the crossbar by Dayne St. Clair.The Loons will now look to keep up th...

All five of the Twins’ projected starters seem to be progressing well, and if it remains that way and all five stay healthy, it appears Bailey Ober would be ticketed for Triple-A to start the season.Ober, who threw two scorele...

Latest storm brings rain, flooding risk to Southern California

Published Fri, 15 Nov 2024 07:31:36 GMT

Yet another storm is hitting Southern California on Friday, and though there won't be nearly as much snow as two weeks ago, rain presents its own dangers.Steady rain is expected Friday and Saturday, prompting the National Weather Service to warn of possible "significant road/urban & small stream flooding." Interactive Storm Coverage “It won’t be one of those cold, wintery storms,” said KTLA Meteorologist Kaj Goldberg. “But nonetheless, we will see measurable rainfall.” The issue could be compounded by the relatively warmer rain falling on snow that has already amassed in San Bernardino County and other mountain communities in Southern California. The additional precipitation is likely to melt some of the snow, creating even more runoff, and in some cases, the rain might make the snow atop buildings even heavier, increasing the likelihood of roof collapse.With the ground already saturated from previous storms, the NWS warned the public to protect ...
