In fairness to Fizdale, he's in a most unenviable position, with a roster reconstruction that — no matter how much the front office crowed about its Plan B after the snubbing of the most desirable free agents — was comparable to handing out free tickets to passers-by to fill an empty theater minutes before curtain.

Kingdom Hearts III has the unenviable job of wrapping up that story while also trying to please fans whose last experience with a Kingdom Hearts game was in 2005, long before the ensuing decade of prequels and side games, and who have no idea who Terra or Aqua are or what Master Xehanort's villainous plan is.

Athletics 242, Yankees 20 | 33 Innings For much of Tuesday night, as he ranged right and glided left, Didi Gregorius looked so smooth gobbling up whistling grounders that it was easy to forget how tentative and harried he had looked at the start of last season, when he had the unenviable task of replacing Derek Jeter at shortstop for the Yankees.

The ninth-seeded Pirates, who lost in the first round as a No. 6 seed last season, face eighth-seeded Arkansas on Friday in the South Region in Greenville, S.C.

Watching Fifty Shades Darker, a movie that seems to have been sleepwalked through by everyone involved (composer Danny Elfman, who has written some of the most majestically anarchic film scores in recent memory, seems to have simply pressed the "vague eroticism" button on his keyboard and left the room), I came away with a deep sense of respect for Dakota Johnson, who has the incredibly unenviable task of making Ana Steele seem like a real person.
