  1. Something may be brewing in Milwaukee tonight... a double no-hitter going through the 6th. No walks, either, though each starter has hit a batter. Corbin Burnes of Milwaukee has 11 strikeouts in 6 innings. Jose Berrios of Minnesota has 12 strikeouts in 6 innings. Later... Byron Buxton homered off of Burnes with one out in the top of the 7th, knocking him out of the game. 1 hit, one run, one loss. Later... 2-0 Minnesota victory. Brewers got their first hit after 7 1/3. Berrios came out after 6 hitless.

  3. And you tell this story so I'll hate your late grandmother? ? ?
  4. Somebody recently was aghast when I told him I spend all my time at home in my underwear. He mentioned how people might be shocked if they found me that way. I told him not if they'd already seen my dirty bathroom. exactly! probably why most coroners take the job in the first place ?
  5. Angels reliever Ty Buttrey explains his decision to walk away from MLB:

  7. Couple accidentally paints over $500,000 artwork A South Korean couple mistakenly tarnished a half-million dollar American artwork when they painted over it, as seen in a cringeworthy clip. “They thought they were allowed to do that as participatory art and made a mistake,” said Kang Wook, head of the exhibition at Seoul’s Lotte World Mall, where the accidental vandalism took place, Reuters reported. The damaged 95-by-275-inch untitled piece was painted by Paris-based artist JonOne, a k a Harlem-born John Andrew Perello, before a live audience in 2016 — and is valued at a whopping $500,000. Arranged in front of the abstract opus were the paint cans and brushes used in its creation. They’re considered part of the piece, which may have given the aforementioned pair the wrong impression. Indeed, CCTV footage shows the impromptu impressionists picking up the tools and adding their own dashes of paint to the work à la the Joker’s museum makeover in 1989’s “Batman.” The clip concludes with a closeup of the “reimagined” artwork, which now sports three ugly black splotches. After reviewing the clip, authorities apprehended the Van-dal Goghs at the mall. However, they subsequently turned them loose when the gallery decided not to press charges, as the graffiti job appeared to be an innocent mistake. “We are currently in discussions with the artist about whether to restore it,” said Kang of the damaged display. The artist didn’t return a request for comment from The Post. In the meantime, they’ve cordoned off the exhibit with wire fencing and put up a “Do Not Touch” sign to deter others from adding their own “tag”-lines. On the bright side, the incident has reportedly prompted a surge in inquiries about the display. Paint marks added by the inadvertent artists.
  8. Just pay no attention to their eldest son: The father is Hollywood’s consummate nice guy — Tom Hanks — who has played everyone from Mr. Rogers to Walt Disney. The son is a tattooed aspiring rapper who declared in an Instagram video that 2021 will be “white boy summer.” Meet Chester Marlon Hanks, 30, a k a Chet, first son of Tom and Rita Wilson, who has been doing his best to break from his family’s clean-cut reputation — with domestic violence accusations, a bloody head wound and backlash for cultural appropriation. The black sheep of the Hanks clan first burst onto the scene in 2011, as rapper “Chet Haze.” While studying theater at Northwestern, he released the song “White and Purple” — a remix of Wiz Khalifa’s hit, “Black and Yellow,” referencing his school’s colors. The general reception was a collective head scratch. In 2014, he was admitted to rehab for cocaine addiction, saying he had struggled with substance abuse since he was a teen. In 2016, his then-girlfriend Tiffany Miles gave birth to daughter Michaiah. He later had a small role on Showtime’s “Shameless” and played a rapper in “Empire” in 2018. But he continues to be best known for his bizarre social-media posts — and a large script tattoo across his chest that declares “I Am Who I Am.” In January 2020, he posted a viral video of himself speaking in a Jamaican accent while attending the Golden Globes, where his father was accepting the Cecil B. DeMille lifetime achievement award. His more recent take on Megan Thee Stallion’s “Hot Girl Summer” has confused even more people. “I just got this feeling man, that this summer is, it’s about to be a white boy summer,” he said in an Instagram video. “Take it how you want.” “I’m not talking about Trump, NASCAR-type white,” he continued, “I’m talking about, you know, me, [R&B artist] Jon B, [rapper] Jack Harlow-type white boy summer. Let me know if you guys can vibe with that and get ready, ‘cuz I am.” Then a video emerged of him with a gushing head wound after a January altercation with his ex, Kiana Parker. The disturbing footage obtained by TMZ showed him with a bleeding forehead — the result of Parker swinging a pot at him. It kicked off a flurry of nasty accusations between the pair. He accused her of stealing his money and subsequently sued for assault. She said he had been violent against her and had obtained a restraining order against him. Luckily for the general public, the current wave of bad press hasn’t affected Chet’s productivity. Page Six reported “White Boy Summer” was not a music video, but a full-length feature film. “We’re gonna get to edit it and come out with it real quick,” he told photographers. Will Tom come to the premiere?
  9. Giannis Antetokounmpo scored 47 points Friday, making all 18 of his shots inside the 3-point arc, tying Chamberlain for the most 2-point field goals made without a miss, according to ESPN's Stats and Information. The Bucks dominated in the paint all night, and no one more so than the two-time MVP. Antetokounmpo outscored the Trail Blazers 47-46 from two-point range and the free-throw line, the first player ever to accomplish that feat.

  11. This six-floor castle in Yonkers is on the market for just $1.3M If you’ve ever dreamed of owning a castle, this is your chance. This $1.3 million castle with 31 rooms has all the romantic features, including a six-floor spire, a Catholic chapel and 360-degree views of Manhattan and the Hudson River. The low price — Westchester County properties aren’t even considered “luxury” until they hit the $2 million mark — is likely due in part to its location in Yonkers, which is still a commutable distance from Manhattan, as proven by the past two owners, commuting since 1929. Another possible factor: updates needed in the nine-bedroom, six-and-a-half bathroom property (more on that below). “At that price, it will attract a lot of interested parties and allow us to maximize turnout [at the open house on April 10 and 11] and give everybody a chance at viewing the property,” listing broker Bryan Dale of Exp Realty told The Post. The 6,000-square-foot American shingle Victorian mansion has eight fireplaces, 100 windows, cathedral ceilings, hardwood floors, gothic peaked windows and exposed wooden ceiling beams, according to Realtor.com. A massive two-story, 150-foot wraparound porch has a main level and an additional 80-foot lower level beneath fortress-like stone walls with open-air semicircular window cut-outs. Before the pandemic, it hosted parties of up to 80 guests, said Dale. “The porch has a lower level which includes large granite arches holding up the property as if it were a medieval castle,” Dale added. Inside the foyer, every room on the first floor has a fireplace. The living room fireplace is inscribed “Lisieux,” a region in France, and above it, a display is inscribed “God is our peace.” The tiled stone floor has several Persian area rugs, and gilded antique furniture pairs with eclectic knick-knacks, which define the character of the house. Through pocket doors, the dining room has a huge semicircular window and a floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace with a round firebox. The room has wood floors, built-in bookshelves and a floor-to-ceiling mirror. A second dining room has an identical semicircular window but offers a white, tiled fireplace with Roman columns — plus a built-in alcove for displaying sculptures. Through a hallway, an expansive family room has been extended into the spire, giving the room a partial circular shape. It offers a brick fireplace, wood floors and a grand piano. After you climb a wooden staircase and pass a church pew bench and Tiffany stained-glass windows, potential buyers will find eight bedrooms and four bathrooms on the third and fourth floors, many with their own fireplace. The third floor has a sitting room with a reading nook. The fourth floor has a chapel, which once held over 200 Masses on Fifth Avenue in Manhattan before Dr. Paluel Flagg, the former owner of the house, had it moved and reassembled in the castle. Dr. Flagg was the founder of the Catholic Medical Mission Board in 1912, which was later led by Emmy-winning preacher Bishop Fulton J. Sheen, who held Masses in the chapel, said Dale. (The Post was not able to independently confirm the source of the chapel.) The tower extends to the fifth and sixth floors, which serve as a gym and an observatory with 360-degree views, though it has an unfinished ceiling. “The observation deck has a panoramic view. You can see the Hudson River and the New Jersey Palisades … It allows you to step outdoors at the very top of the property,” said Dale. The basement has a laundry room, a workshop and a one-bedroom apartment with a bathroom and a kitchen. The home was built in 1892 for the president of the American Real Estate Company, E.K. Martin, who developed the neighborhood of Park Hill. The sellers are a three-generation family who bought the 0.84-acre property in 1983 for $140,000. Carl and Colette Tiktin, an author and a teacher respectively, along with their daughter found the house advertised in a newspaper soon after their old home had been destroyed in a gas explosion. They purchased the house with Colette’s sister, Michele Shapiro, and her husband, as well as the sisters’ parents (who had the surname Lafond), according to a 1985 article. The sellers repaired the house to its current state, but it is now in need of more love. It doesn’t have central air conditioning or heat, and the small kitchen is an investment opportunity, with old appliances and outdated wooden cabinets. The bathrooms could be outfitted with more luxurious appliances, photos show. “When they initially purchased it, the house was in disrepair. They completely restored and renovated it to its original condition. Since then, they have maintained the property,” said Dale. https://nypost.com/2021/04/02/this-castle-in-yonkers-ny-is-on-the-market-for-just-1-3m/

  13. Durant has been fined $50,000 for using offensive and derogatory language on social media, the league announced in a press release today. The release added that Durant has since acknowledged his actions were inappropriate. “I receive threats and disgusting messages DAILY, but never in my wildest dreams did I think [Kevin Durant] would be among them,” Rapaport wrote in his post. “The [snake] himself is now threatening me, bringing up my wife and wants to fight. This is supposed to be America’s sweetheart right?” Durant has since apologized for his words. The 32-year-old has only appeared in 19 games for the Nets this season, averaging 29 points, 7.3 rebounds and 5.3 assists per contest. Brooklyn is hoping he could return soon from a hamstring injury suffered in February.

  15. Major League Baseball Moves All-Star Game Out Of Atlanta Major League Baseball Commissioner Rob Manfred announced Friday that the league will relocate the All-Star Game and 2021 Amateur Draft, which had been set to take place in Atlanta, Ga. “Over the last week, we have engaged in thoughtful conversations with Clubs, former and current players, the Players Association, and The Players Alliance, among others, to listen to their views,” Manfred said in a statement announcing the decision. “I have decided that the best way to demonstrate our values as a sport is by relocating this year’s All-Star Game and MLB Draft. Major League Baseball fundamentally supports voting rights for all Americans and opposes restrictions to the ballot box. In 2020, MLB became the first professional sports league to join the non-partisan Civic Alliance to help build a future in which everyone participates in shaping the United States. We proudly used our platform to encourage baseball fans and communities throughout our country to perform their civic duty and actively participate in the voting process. Fair access to voting continues to have our game’s unwavering support. “We will continue with our plans to celebrate the memory of Hank Aaron during this season’s All-Star festivities. In addition, MLB’s planned investments to support local communities in Atlanta as part of our All-Star Legacy Projects will move forward. We are finalizing a new host city and details about these events will be announced shortly.”

  17. Major League Baseball announced Friday that it is postponing the entire weekend series between the Nationals and the Mets to allow for additional testing and contact tracing in the wake of multiple positive Covid-19 tests among the Nationals’ roster. At least three Nationals players tested positive leading up to Opening Day, and the team is said to be awaiting definitive word on what it believes is a fourth positive test. It would appear, then, that the Mets’ season opener will be pushed back to Monday in Philadelphia. It’s not clear when the Nationals will get underway at this time. The league’s press release indicates only that it will “continue to provide scheduling updates as available.” At the moment, the Nationals are scheduled to host the Braves in a three-game series beginning Monday before traveling to the West Coast to take on the Dodgers next Friday.
  18. Baby born with three penises makes medical history Good things come in threes? An Iraqi boy no doubt etched his name into the phallic hall of fame after he was born with a whopping trio of penises. “To the best of our knowledge, this is the first reported case with three penises or triphallia,” wrote Dr. Shakir Saleem Jabali in a study on the treble-membered tyke published in the International Journal of Surgery Case Reports. The baby boy, a Kurd from Duhok, was originally brought to the hospital by his parents when he was 3 months old due to swelling in the scrotum. However, when he arrived, doctors observed that he had some extras — one 2-centimeter member sprouting near the root of his primary penis, and another 1-centimeter-long schlong situated under his sack. The Hydra-esque anomaly was particularly mysterious as the child hadn’t been exposed to drugs while in the womb and didn’t have a family history of genetic aberrations, study authors reported. Alas, it seems that the boy’s potential future as the world’s first three-pronged porn star was nipped in the bud: As three willy’s additional phalluses didn’t have urethras — the tube that urine passes through — doctors decided to surgically remove those two. Fortunately, the operation went swimmingly and the formerly triphallic tot was deemed problem-free during a follow-up appointment a year later, per the case report. A similar instance of triplet nether regions made headlines in India in 2015, but couldn’t be verified as it wasn’t documented in a medical journal, the Daily Mail reported at the time. However, despite boasting the only recorded case of triphallia, this latest case study isn’t the only multimembered kid out there. First reported in 1609, the condition diphallia — or sporting a pair of penises — reportedly affects one in every five to six million baby boys, with around 100 recorded cases “reported in literature,” according to the new study. And unlike this latest penile patient, some of these akimbo organs can reportedly both ejaculate and urinate, suggesting that two heads indeed might be better than one. In fact, one anonymous soul — dubbed “Double Dick Dude” — went viral in 2015 after it was revealed that he boasted dual, 10-inch-long functioning penises. Doctors have yet to pinpoint the cause of the phallic deformity, however they have linked it to other congenital aberrations such as being born with two scrotums or anuses, according to World Health Organization research. ‘Double D–k Dude’ describes life with two 10-inchers A man with two penises who calls himself “Double D–k Dude” has written a revealing memoir about his wild sexual exploits and painful medical emergencies. The man, who suffers from an extremely rare medical condition called diphallia, rocketed to fame a year ago after answering questions in an infamous “Ask Me Anything” (AMA) Reddit thread. The question-and-answer drew more than 17,000 comments, with the openly bisexual man describing in graphic detail what it’s like to have two 10-inch-long, functioning organs. Now, to commemorate the one-year anniversary of the big reveal, the anonymous man has published an e-memoir, “Double Header: My Life With Two Penises,” about his life. The author, who claims to have slept with more than 1,000 men and women, told Rolling Stone he wrote the memoir because people still had lots of questions. “Before I was ‘Double D–k Dude,’ no one cared about what I had to say,” he said. “Since then, I’ve been able to help people who felt alone or lost. I’ve gotten so many messages from people who need encouragement for one thing or another.” The man, who refused to reveal his identity, said he doesn’t tell all sexual partners about what’s in his pants. He was previously in a polyamorous relationship with a man and woman. “It really depends on the person and how long I’ve been dating them. During the time when I was all about one-night stands, I’d surprise them. The girls were always difficult,” he wrote. “Guys were always game for action, even the guys who identified as straight. I swear if there was a way to document the interaction I’ve had with men who said they were straight, I’m sure the Kinsey Scale would explode.” However, the man’s many hair-raising sexual adventures have taken a toll on his body, including torn skin and broken blood vessels. He said while most of his lovers tend to embrace his body, he has had some hideous experiences. “Two of the funniest reactions were probably when a girl thought it was a prosthetic and went to pull one of them off and realized it was real. She started shrieking with laughter and almost hyperventilated,” he said. “The other one was a guy I met since my AMA, who identifies as straight, that said, ‘I’m going to blow you because I want to piss off all my gay buddies.’ It cracked me up at first but then when he actually started doing the deed I was impressed. “The most upsetting was a girl I actually dated seriously after I got over all the one-night stands. We’d dated for about three months with just kissing and cuddling. She finally was ‘ready’ and I put it off for about another month. When it came down to it, I told her that I was built different than most guys and she said she didn’t care. I revealed them to her and she definitely cared. She told me to get out and ended the relationship. It still stings when I think about it.” In January last year, the double-pronged man answered hundreds of questions on Reddit about his condition. He described how he urinates through both penises, and uses both during sex. Here are some of the questions and answers: 1. What was it like growing up, and going through puberty? Did you know you were different, and how did that affect your psyche? I guess pretty much like any other guy in puberty. Just had two dicks instead of one. I knew from an early age. But it was not a big deal. My mum said “You just have one extra” and that was it. It wasn’t until I was older that it started to be a hassle. 2. Do they both hang to one side of your pants, or do they split the seam? When I go commando, which is almost always except in winter, they take their own sides. The seam can be a pain sometimes because the skin between them is a little delicate and sensitive. 3. What kind of comments do you get from your guy friends? My friends are so much like me that they don’t bring it up often. One or two wise guys will make comments like “She wants the D’s” as a joke when a girl smiles at me. But other than that they’re so chill about it because they know I don’t want the attention. 4. You’ve said that having two penises used to be a thing of shame, and now is a thing of pride. How did that happen, was there a certain event or experience that changed your mindset? Honestly, it was the jerks I was around that made life hell. Once I was done with school, I realized it was something to be proud of … It’s one thing to be KNOWN as the guy with two c–ks and another thing to BE the guy with two c–ks. And being bisexual meant my d–ks were in constant demand. So it got to be kind of a curse for a while. 5. Did you have any nicknames in high school? A buddy nicknamed me Double D. 6. Do you shower at the Y or wait until you get home? I generally avoid public bathrooms and if I do use one I try to use the stall and not a wall urinal.
  19. A past Roseanne-era feud is getting resurrected in present-day The Conners. Also, Brian Austin Green is Lanford-bound. ABC announced Tuesday that Danielle Harris will reprise her Season 5 Roseanne role as Molly Tilden, AKA Darlene’s high school rival for David’s affection, in the April 7 episode of The Conners. Although Darlene and Molly were enemies back in the day, they find themselves 30 years later having had similar lives and become close. Meanwhile, Green has booked a two-episode arc on the ABC spinoff as Jeff, a quirky, free spirit traveler who lives out of his van. The network has not revealed when his first episode will air. Wait — there’s more Conners casting news. Candice Bergen — who guest-starred earlier this season as Ben’s mom, Barb — will return for two more episodes. Her next airdate is also TBA.
  20. MMA fighter loses finger during fight — and there was a massive search to find it In combat sports, gnarly injuries happen. But the one suffered by middleweight Khetag Pliev at a Cage Fury Fighting Championships (CFFC) event on Thursday night in Philadelphia is about as gruesome as it gets. Pliev’s left ring finger was severed (Graphic image) during his co-main event bout against Devin Goodale, with broadcast cameras picking up what happened between the second and third rounds. “In the second round, he caught my glove with one hand and held it,” Pliev told ESPN’s Marc Raimondi. “I felt my finger snapped. He kept pulling my glove and my finger snapped. We kept fighting. When the second round was finished, I see my [bone] was out in the open. I wanted to keep fighting, because I felt like I had this guy. But the doctor saw that and stopped the fight. “ Confusion reigned as it was not immediately clear where the disconnected portion of Pliev’s digit had gone or when the injury took place. There was a search to track down the finger and even an announcement asking for help. CFFC president Rob Haydek later said on the broadcast, available on UFC Fight Pass, that the finger was located inside Pliev’s glove. Pliev later told ESPN that he was in the hospital emergency room where his finger was successfully reattached. The bout was halted between rounds because of the injury, with Goodale earning a win via TKO.
  21. From burner accounts to Twitter beefs with random unverified trolls, Kevin Durant has never seen a social media fight he didn’t love. But his latest has forced the Nets to have a long talk with their superstar player, and could even land him in hot water with the NBA. After actor Michael Rapaport made public a number of social media private messages that Durant had sent him — some of which were misogynistic, homophobic and threatening — the league is aware of the situation and assessing the next move. It’s unclear whether Durant will face any fines. Meanwhile, a team source told The Post that the Nets reached out and spoke to the All-Star forward. The source declined to say who specifically spoke with Durant, and said the tenor of the conversation would be kept “in-house.” Durant wishes his comments to Rapaport had stayed that way, too. “Me and mike talk CRAZIER than this on the regular and today he’s pissed,” Durant tweeted. “My bad mike, damn!!” The two have clearly known each other for years, with Durant even providing the New York native with tickets to the NBA Finals while he was playing with Golden State. Rapoport actually shared a video in which he complains to Durant about the location of his seats. But their recent feud appeared to start in December when Rapaport weighed in on an interview that the Nets forward did with Charles Barkley and the “NBA on TNT” crew, in the wake of Barkley’s criticism of Durant. “KD seemed deeply in his feelings with the [NBA on TNT] crew after the game,” Rapoport tweeted. “DAMNIT he’s super sensitive about everything. Don’t do the interview.” That seems to have set Durant off, and the two proceeded to have a months-long argument in which he calls Rapaport a “b—h” and a “d—head.” The actor pushed back, telling the Brooklyn star to “go help the kids in Brownsville, Brooklyn and stop being a f—ing p—-.” In the messages, Durant also mentioned he eventually told Rapaport “all u do is c— suck other men for attention,” referred to him as a “piece of s–t,” and told him to “suck a d–k.” He also mocked Rapaport’s unsuccessful attempt to sue Barstool founder David Portnoy— which prompted Portnoy to praise Durant for going after Rapaport — and even suggested the actor’s wife didn’t respect him and threatened to “spit in your face.” He challenged Rapoport to meet him on West 17th Street at 10 a.m., or provide his own address. Now Durant — who hasn’t played since Feb. 13, sidelined by a hamstring strain — has to worry about more than just his rehab, explaining himself to his team.
