LOS ANGELES -- The outcome of the Cubs-Giants NL playoff wasnt the only thing in doubt when those teams played late into the night on the West Coast.The start time for Game 4 of the Nationals-Dodgers series on Tuesday was also undecided.Still functioning on East Coast time, Nationals manager Dusty Baker went to bed after watching Chicagos Kris Bryant homer to tie the game in the ninth inning Monday night. Dodgers manager Dave Roberts lasted a bit longer, hanging in until the 11th.The Giants rallied to win 6-5 in 13 innings shortly before midnight Pacific time, determining the Nationals-Dodgers game would start at 2:05 p.m. PDT. If the Cubs had clinched the series with a victory, the game in Los Angeles would have started three hours later.In this age of instant communication, Roberts hopped on social media to find out the result.I set my alarm early and if it would have been the other way, I would have gone back to sleep, he said.Roberts 67-year-old counterpart did the same.I woke up in the middle of the night, used the bathroom, looked at ESPN and saw that the Giants had won, Baker said.Rob Segedin was up taking care of his 1+-month-old son. Although the infielder isnt on the Dodgers roster for the NLDS, he still needs to be at the ballpark.I was watching the game and I found out what time our game was today from the TV commentators, he said. Then I started figuring out what time I had to get up.Both teams knew there were two scenarios: either a day or early evening start.I dont know how they found out, Baker said of his players, but Im sure they did. Communication isnt a problem around here.The Nationals and Dodgers are already operating on a compressed schedule in their series. Game 2 was rained out last Saturday in Washington, forcing it to be played Sunday, a scheduled travel day.So instead of getting a day off between Games 2 and 3, the teams will have played three straight days by Tuesday.If Game 5 is necessary, the teams would travel Wednesday to Washington, where the series would conclude Thursday.In this game, only the strong-willed and the strong-minded people do well and survive, Baker said.

ROME -- As far as city leaders are concerned, Romes bid for the 2024 Olympics is finished.The city council voted in favor of scrapping the bid on Thursday, a week after Mayor Virginia Raggi rejected the candidacy, citing concerns over costs.It was irresponsible to say yes to the candidacy, Raggi wrote on Facebook. We wanted to say no to more debts for Rome and for Italy.The anti-bid motion passed easily, as expected, by 30-12 since Raggis anti-establishment 5-Star Movement holds a majority on the city council.The 5-Star Movement holds 29 of the 48 council places, and all 29 voted in support of the mayors rejection. There was also one supporting vote from an opposition party. Six council members were absent.The rejection leaves only Los Angeles, Paris and Budapest, Hungary, in the running for the 2024 Games. The International Olympic Committee will decide on the host city in September 2017.However, Rome bid leaders and the Italian Olympic Committee (CONI) are hanging onto hope that the bid can somehow be revived -- perhaps if Raggi is ousted from office.IOC President Thomas Bach will be in Rome next Tuesday for a sports and faith conference at the Vatican.Well decide what to do after meeting Bach on Tuesday, CONI president Giovanni Malago said.The IOC told Italian media that it was following the events in Rome and was in contact with the bid committee and CONI to make sense of these political circumstances.Its the second time in four years that a Rome Olympic bid has been rejected. In 2012, then-premier Mario Monti scrapped the citys bid for the 2020 Olympics because of financial concerns.Under previous mayor Ignazio Marino, Romes 2024 bid was approved by the city assembly last year with 38 votes iin favor and only six against.dddddddddddd Italian Premier Matteo Renzi was a strong supporter of the bid.Today came the definitive `No on the Olympics, Renzi said. Its legitimate but weve certainly made a bad impression internationally.But whats shocking isnt the decision but rather its saying that you cant have the Olympics because its bad business. Thousands of jobs will be lost for giving up.Raggi, a lawyer who was elected in June as Romes first female mayor, cited worries over costs and budget overruns as reasons for rejecting the bid in a city that can barely collect its trash, and keep up other basic public services.At the same session, another motion was passed by the city council asking the government to provide 4 billion euros ($4.5 billion) for refurbishing sports venues in the city and for general urban improvements.Were continuing to work for the city, Raggi wrote.The latest rejection is another signal that the IOC still has a lot of work to do to convince cities that hosting the games is a boon and not a burden. Earlier Thursday, a city government panel in Tokyo warned that the cost of the 2020 Olympics could exceed $30 billion, more than four times the initial estimates.Voters in Hamburg rejected the German citys 2024 bid in a referendum, and Boston dropped out last year amid a lack of public and political support and was replaced as the U.S. candidate by Los Angeles.Four cities withdrew during the bidding for the 2022 Winter Games, leaving only two candidates in the field. Beijing, hardly known as a winter sports destination, defeated Almaty, Kazakhstan. ' ' '
