DETROIT — When the Rangers signed Patrick Corbin in the final week of spring training, it was more desperation than anything else. After a spate of injuries, they latched onto Corbin, despite the highest ERA in baseball over the previous five seasons.They didn’t ask for much. Just some innings. But thanks to growing confidence in a cutter he alone cultivated last year, Corbin has given them both innings and performance.Though he took the loss Friday while facing Detroit’s Cy Young winner Tarik Skubal, he largely matched him pitch for pitch, albeit with completely different stuff. Corbin went a season-high seven…

Paul Simon has built his entire career on defying expectations. So it was fitting that his compelling “A Quiet Celebration” concert Wednesday at the Winspear Opera House wasn’t particularly quiet or celebratory.Before launching the tour, Simon said he’d be adjusting his shows to adapt to his hearing loss. And sure enough, there was no raucous horn section. No “You Can Call Me Al.” No “Late in the Evening” with its fiery Latin jam. This was the first Simon tour where a gentle flute player stole the spotlight on several songs.But the show rocked and swung in its own subdued way.…

So perhaps I was mistaken about life after Mikko. Seemed like the Stars had shown plenty of positive signs of being able to produce on their own, once he stopped delivering nightly hat tricks or four-point games. Instead, the entire squad was blanked in Winnipeg Friday night, making this a very compelling 1-1 series that continues with a 3:30 puck drop on Sunday at the AAC.Dallas remains in prime position to keep advancing in this marathon affair called the Stanley Cup playoffs. Just by gaining a split in Winnipeg, the Stars secured the slight edge that is home-ice advantage, although…

Last summer, a legal settlement resulted in new rules that were supposed to revolutionize the housing market in favor of sellers and buyers. The traditional 6% commission split between the buyer’s and seller’s agents was dead, and now the buyer and seller would negotiate lower fees with their own agents.The headlines were plentiful. This was going to shake up the industry, and we were among the people who voiced optimism about the prospect of lower housing prices for everyday Texans.Our optimism was premature. Nothing seems to have changed in any meaningful way.Recent reporting by The New York Times revealed that…

WASHINGTON — White House deputy chief of staff Stephen Miller says President Donald Trump is looking for ways to expand its legal power to deport migrants who are in the United States illegally. To achieve that, he says the administration is “actively looking at” suspending habeas corpus, the constitutional right for people to legally challenge their detention by the government.Such a move would be aimed at migrants as part of the Republican president’s broader crackdown at the U.S.-Mexico border.Related:Trump ‘looking at’ suspending habeas corpus, migrants’ path to challenge detention“The Constitution is clear, and that of course is the supreme law…

The wait for Miro Heiskanen continues.Even after a lopsided Game 2 loss, the Dallas Stars won’t have their top defenseman against the Winnipeg Jets on Sunday.

A sea of flashing camera lights and raucous cheers greeted Grapevine-born artist Post Malone, as he took the stage Friday night for a sold-out concert at Arlington’s AT&T Stadium. The rapper-turned-country darling strutted down an elongated runway, repping his hometown in a snug Brandon Aubrey Cowboys jersey. At his back, a neon-cut out reading “Posty Co.” flashed like the entrance to a honkytonk. Flames billowed into the air – bringing a shock of heat into sections far from the stage – as Malone performed “Texas Tea” and “Wow.” Grapevine treasure and musician Post Malone performs at AT&T Stadium, Friday, May…

The public event, running from 5 p.m. through sunset, will feature food, surprise acoustic performances and “nuggets of nostalgia” drawing from Penn’s past.
