When Ferrara insists that “the film is as much about Shia as it is about Padre Pio”, he has a point. And if I’m gonna have sex, it would be a different combination again.

Maybe they will wind up being the surprise team to jump in on someone like Montgomery or Blake Snell.

"We expect Thursday's ECB press conference to again highlight the exceptionally low possibility of a rate cut before the summer," agreed Unicredit in an analyst note. The 20-nation eurozone economy, feeling the pain from higher interest rates and weaker exports, shrank by 0.1 percent in the third quarter of 2023.
