Acosta Danza: Carlos Acosta’s Carmen review – never quite reaches boiling point | Dance
vinegarI’ve seen three versions this year. Carmen (2 ballet and 1 opera) I’m seriously beginning to question whether she’s the right role model for women. Brave, feisty, confident, but a tragic heroine? I’d rather she focus on her career rather than an unreliable man. At least in Carlos Acosta’s version, her fate is taken out […]

Carlos Rodon flops again as Yankees lose fourth straight
TORONTO — Carlos Rodon’s ERA has risen from 2.93 to 4.42 in three starts, and it’s not just because of the Canadian exchange rate. The Yankees didn’t just go from 49-21 to 52-31 in just over two weeks. But one of the main reasons for the team’s recent slump has been the poor performance of […]

The Mets and Yankees played each other three times in spring training, so the excitement of calling the opposing New York team “them” has worn off for Carlos Mendoza.

New York Yankees pitcher Carlos Rodon was looking to bounce back against the Atlanta Braves after giving up five runs in his last appearance in Boston.

Yankees bashed by Braves as Carlos Rodon gets rocked
The disgust that bubbled up over the first three innings didn’t explode until the fourth inning. Carlos Rodon, who was battered all night, was also a victim of bad luck. Sean Murphy’s routine grounder slid down the third base line to the sound of 45,226 groans. Pinch-hitting left fielder Jamai Jones gave chase and misplayed […]
Carlos Mendoza praises ‘contagious’ hustle of Jose Iglesias in four-hit day
CHICAGO — Jose Iglesias didn’t get a hit in his ninth at-bat, but it got just as much attention from his manager as his four previous at-bats in which he did get a hit. The Mets’ veteran infielder hit a grounder that could have easily turned into an inning-ending double play. But despite the one-sided […]
