May 26--CORPUS CHRISTI -- All the Hidalgo Pirates needed was one hit. One hit would have changed the game. One hit could have extended their season. One hit would have made a difference.

May 26--Mayoral candidate Oscar Leeser appears to be playing it safe -- or is it chick-chick-chickeeeen -- as his runoff election date with Steve Ortega nears. He's got a lead, a big one, so he's decided to debate Ortega no more. It's the pre-shot clock college basketball strategy of dribbling out the clock.

May 26--For months, Christine Faulhaber had been teaching anyone who would listen about the BRCA gene mutation. That defect in chromosomes led to her mother's diagnosis of ovarian cancer 11 years ago, and it meant Faulhaber herself had a higher risk of the disease.

Think about it: The actor, 29, played the confused coming-of-age nephew of Campbell Scott in Rodger Dodger; a troubled son grappling with his parents' divorce in The Squid and the Whale; and probably, most unforgettably, real-life Facebook founder, petulant tech geek/genius Marc ...
