DALLAS -- Texas Rangers slugger Josh Hamilton freely bent his left leg back and forth without feeling any pain seven weeks after extensive surgery on his knee.While still a long time from getting back on the field, Hamilton said Thursday that he expects to be fully healthy and ready when the Rangers get to spring training in Arizona before next season.Im just really excited that I feel likes it better, I feel like its fixed, Hamilton said. Now the only thing is taking my time, strengthen it up and be ready for next year.During surgery June 8 in Houston, Hamiltons anterior cruciate ligament was reconstructed. Dr. Walt Lowe also repaired meniscus and lateral cartilage in the knee.That was Hamiltons third surgery on the knee since September, along with cortisone shots and a stem cell and a platelet-rich plasma injection during spring training that may have actually led to more damage.When Hamilton went for a recent checkup, he told the doctor he felt good and then asked how the knee looked. The doctors response was unusually good, and when Hamilton asked what that meant, the doctor told him that at five weeks he was already at the point it took most patients 3 1/2 months to get to in recovery. But that also came with a reminder.He said the most important thing ... I know it feels good but at the same time youve still got some healing to do, so we really need to focus on that and going through the process of rehabilitation in the right matter, said Hamilton, who could start jogging again in about a week. Ive got plenty of time to not have to speed it up.In his first appearance for the Rangers since his surgery, Hamilton took part in a ceremony at the Texas Rangers MLB Urban Academy in West Dallas where a field has been named in his honor after contributing to the project.Rangers third baseman Adrian Beltre was also there after making a contribution toward a major league-size turf field for an indoor facility that will be built on the 17-acre site. Beltres No. 29 will be inscribed in the turf.Hamilton was a five-time All-Star and the 2010 AL MVP in his five seasons with the Rangers from 2008-12. He left in free agency and signed a $125 million, five-year contract with the AL West rival Los Angeles Angels.The Angels traded Hamilton back to Texas last year when he was coming back from shoulder surgery, and agreed to pay the Rangers for all of his $24 million salary this season and $22 million of the $24 million the outfielder is due in 2017, the last year of that contract. Hamilton played only 50 games last season, hitting .253 with eight homers and 25 RBI.When Hamilton is removed from the 60-day disabled list after this season, he knows it is possible that Texas could use his roster spot for another player. That would mean the 35-year-old outfielder would have to report to spring training with the Rangers on a non-roster deal.I feel confident that when Im healthy, really healthy, Im just as good as anybody in the game, and I still believe that, Hamilton said. I dont expect anything as far as like `Oh yeah, here you go, heres your spot, or anything like that. I expect to go out there and play. If I have to win a spot, wherever that is, thats fine with me. Ill just be happy to be back out there and be pain free and playing again.

LOS ANGELES -- Stars filed into Staples Center to watch Game 4 of the WNBA Finals. Cedric the Entertainer, Magic Johnson and the Mamba himself sat courtside Sunday, hoping to see the Sparks clinch the WNBA championship for the first time since 2002.The proverbial stars, however, did not align for the Sparks. Maya Moore scored 31 points and Minnesota won 85-79 to force the WNBA Finals to a decisive Game 5 on Thursday (ESPN2, 8 p.m. ET).I think we fought today, Sparks forward Nneka Ogwumike said. When it comes to the focus and awareness, we can sharpen up there, and I think thats what we have to do.Minnesotas game plan was to make someone other than Ogwumike and Candace Parker beat the Lynx. The duo finished with 25 total points, well below their combined playoffs average of 36.9 points per game.Chelsea Gray almost became that player, turning in a performance of 20 points while shooting 4 of 5 from beyond the arc. In the end, however, even her herculean performance wasnt enough to lift the Sparks over the top.Obviously Im disappointed that we didnt win and close it out, but Im not thinking its over, said an emotional Parker, slumped in a chair. I think our team has done things the hard way all year, so this is another test for us.Nothing came easy for Parker on Sunday. She fought and scraped for 14 points, and managed only three rebounds. Even with Lynx forward Rebekkah Brunson on the bench for much of the second quarter in foul trouble, Parker struggled to take advantage.Still, the Sparks kept the game close. They had plenty of chances to take control -- and even win -- but they kept getting in their own way.We have to play with a little bit more poise down the stretch, Sparks guard Kristi Toliver said. We have to be aggressive, assertive, decisive, and I think that in those last 1:30, we werent that, and thats going to be the difference.Game 5 demands that the Sparks march into Minneapolis to get a win, something theyve done twice this season. With a championship on the line, it will surely be an intense game, but the Sparks know what needs to be done to leave the Twin Cities victorious, even if they dont know from experience what it takes to win a championship.Weve got to fight, Alana Beard said. We need to do the little things, go back to fundamentals, keep Sylvia [Fowles] out of the lane, and everyone making it a point to box out. Its obvious that when they outrebound us on the offensive end, they win the game.Los Angeles also will need to find an answer for Maya Moore. The veteran torched the Sparks defense for 31 points. And Fowles helped the Lynx outrebound The Sparks 41-25.The definite takeaway from Game 4 is that the Sparks arent going down without a fight, and theyre going to Minnesota with their eyes on the prize.Game 5 is going to be exactly like Game 4. Its going to be a dogfight. Its going to be up-and-down. Its going to be physical, Toliver said. Hopefully well learn from this experience [Sunday] of knowing how to close out a series. Zapatillas Yeezy Falsas . He just needed to be his best twisting, turning acrobatic self. "I didnt need to be anybody else, I just needed to be myself and be aggressive," said Burks, who scored a career-high 34 points to spark the Utah Jazz to a 118-103 victory over the Denver Nuggets on Monday night. Air Max Falsas . -- Mike Smith never saw his first NHL goal go in. https://www.zapatillasbaratasspain.es/zapatillas-baratas-spain-outlet-online-d2288.html . Self was acquired from the Buffalo Bandits in a trade for Alex Hill midway through last season, and made his debut in Rochester on March 16, 2013. Zapatillas Yeezy Spain . Luis Suarezs double powered Liverpool to a 4-0 victory over Fulham, and Southampton easily overcame Hull 4-1 to continue the south coast clubs impressive start to the season. Liverpool and Southampton sent Chelsea down to fourth place as the west London club was held to 2-2 at home. Zapatillas Jordan Falsas . -- Claudio Bieler hadnt scored since early September, and not from the run of play since mid-July. BALTIMORE -- The New York Yankees are experiencing a terrible hitting slump at the worst possible time.If they dont break out of it right now, their flickering playoff hopes could be extinguished for good.New York managed only four hits in a 2-0 loss to the Baltimore Orioles on Saturday night. One night earlier, the Yankees got a pair of singles in an 8-0 defeat.Its only the first week of September, but New York finds itself in a must-win situation entering the series finale.You dont ever want to go through this during the course of the season, manager Joe Girardi said. So (Sundays) game is probably the most important game of the year.New York already went through one seemingly must-win stretch leading up to the Aug. 1 trade deadline. After going into sell mode but continuing to compete, Girardis club again finds itself playing for the season with weeks still to go.Yeah, I think you do feel it more, just because youre running out of time, Girardi said. Thats why I think (Sunday) is extremely important. Weve got to find a way to score some runs.Kevin Gausman outpitched CC Sabathia for the second time in seven days and Adam Jones homered for the Orioles, who have blanked the Yankees three straight times dating to the series finale in New York on Aug. 28.Gausman (7-10) allowed two hits and two walks over six innings to win his fourth straight start. He struck out eight and permitted only one runner past second base.The right-hander threw seven shutout innings in New York last Sunday and is 2-1 with an 0.80 ERA in five starts against the Yankees this season.Just trying to mx in all my pitches and keep them off balance, Gausman said.Zach Britton, the third Baltimore reliever, worked a perfect ninth for his 40th save in 40 opportunities.The victory moved the third-place Orioles within two games of the top spot in the AL East.Sabathia (8-12) gave up two runs, one earned, in six innings. All it got him was another loss against the Orioles, the third in a row since mid-July.I didnt have much, Sabathia acknowledged. Just trying to make pitches when I had to, and I was able to do that for the most part.dddddddddddd. But it was a struggle today.The Yankees came to town with a season-high four straight series wins, but they will leave with their ninth consecutive series loss in Baltimore.Its tough, especially when CC goes out there and pitches his butt off, right fielder Aaron Judge said. If we win tomorrow, we forget about today.Gausman struck out six of the first eight batters and experienced only one difficult inning, the fourth. New York loaded the bases with one out before Starlin Castro struck out and Brian McCann hit a fly ball to left.A double and an error by Judge provided Baltimore with an unearned run in the bottom half, and Jones hit his 25th home run in the fifth.The suddenly punchless New York offense had no answer. The Yankees totaled 27 runs against Baltimore over two games last weekend before Gausman stepped to the mound.FAREWELL TO TEXMaryland native Mark Teixeira will play his final game at Camden Yards on Sunday.Teixeira was cheered as a visiting player in Baltimore until he signed as a free agent with New York in 2009. From that point, the hometown kid heard only boos.When you play a long time, it really doesnt bother you at all, Teixeira said.Besides, its not like he spurned the Orioles in 2009. They didnt have any intention of signing me. They made an offer just to say they made an offer, he said.TRAINERS ROOMYankees: RHP Chad Green (2-4, 4.73) has a sprained elbow and is likely done for the season. Green will see a doctor in New York on Monday.Orioles: RHP Chris Tillman (right shoulder) will have a bullpen session Sunday after throwing three times from flat ground during the week. Tillman (15-5, 3.76) last pitched on Aug. 20.UP NEXTYankees: RHP Michael Pineda (6-11, 5.12) starts the series finale Sunday. Hes winless in his last four starts.Orioles: LHP Wade Miley (8-11, 5.43) returns to the mound coming off his longest start (seven innings, three earned runs) since joining Baltimore at the trade deadline.

AFC Wimbledon manager Neal Ardley paid tribute to the fans after his side won the League Two play-off final with a 2-0 Wembley victory over Plymouth. Lyle Taylor broke the deadlock on 78 minutes before a stoppage-time penalty from substitute Adebayo Akinfenwa sealed promotion to League One for a club which was only formed by supporters in 2002.AFC fans were furious after the football authorities allowed Wimbledon to relocate to Milton Keynes, a club which is now called MK Dons. Barry Fuller of Wimbledon lifts the trophy with his teammates Having started life as AFC Wimbledon in the ninth tier Combined Counties League 14 years ago, they will now be taking on MK Dons next year as equals.And that achievement had an emotional Ardley beaming with pride on the Wembley pitch in the immediate aftermath of todays triumph.He told Sky Sports: Its wonderful. The occasion for our fans was good enough in the first place from where weve come from. Adebayo Akinfenwa sealed Wimbledons promotion to League 1 with a penalty in stoppage time But the boys went out and I had a feeling today we had too much experience, so much know-how and I had a feeling that these boys were going to deliver. In that second half I think there was only one team going to win that. We were outstanding.Of course [Im proud]. Its emotional. To win a game at Wembley and get promotion is wonderful but they (the fans) deserve it.They had their club taken away from them 14 years ago - now look at them.The introduction of Akinfenwa from the bench ultimately proved the decisive moment in a tense encounter, as the Dons broke the deadlock moments later through Lyle Taylor.He needs a cuddle, he needs a bit of love but he gets it from us, said Ardley about the much-travelled Taylor. AFC Wimbledons Lyle Taylor celebrates scoring his sides first goal of the game Only a superb late stop by Luke McCormick prevented Akinfenwa from heading home a second Dons goal.However, the Pilgrims stopper could do nothing to keep out Akinfenwas penalty deep into stoppage time following a foul by Jordan Forster on Adebayo Azeez.And for the Beast [Akinfenwa] to get the winner for the second goal is amazing, added the Dons boss. AFC Wimbledons Akinfenwa (left) celebrates with team-mate John Meades after scoring Despite the late drama, Ardley felt his side were always in control and ultimately got exactly what they deserved.He explained: To be honest with you I dont think they looked like scoring.You always have the nerves that they might but our defence were immense, our goalie was immense and the rest of the team, we always carried a threat.The longer the game went on, the more likely we looked like we were going to win.Plymouth finished two places and six points ahead of the Dons but seemed to be overawed by the occasion in front of a 30,000-strong Green Army.We didnt perform well enough, admitted manager Derek Adams. Credit to Wimbledon, but we are disappointed not to have won.It wasnt an exciting game and we probably played into Wimbledons hands a bit, we didnt trouble their goalkeeper enough.Its a huge disappointment to come here and not show people what we can do. We are disappointed but weve come a long way with a threadbare squad and its testament to the players to have even got here today.

Fake Vans Website .C. - The Carolina Hurricanes have placed backup goalie Anton Khudobin on injured reserve with an unspecified lower-body injury. Chloe Esposito has a million-dollar smile that outshines even the gold medal she won at the 2016 Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro; a medal that, incidentally, cost her country less than any other Australian gold won in Brazil.The much maligned Winning Edge program, set up after the 2012 Olympic Games in London, pumped funding into sports deemed most likely to garner a gold rush in Rio. It missed a trick with Esposito, whose sport of Modern Pentathlon was viewed as too niche for investment.Which begs the question: If golden glory is the holy grail of sports funding, shouldnt there be some allowance for individual achievement in less fashionable disciplines?Gold medals from the Rio games are 85mm in diameter and weigh 500 gram; they are 92 percent silver with just 6g of actual gold and the rest a copper filler; they are worth in real market terms about $Aus260 for the gold component, and maybe $Aus500-700 for the whole disc combined.To hold one in your hand, though, fills you with wonderment. You can literally feel the hours of training, the sacrifices made, the tears and the joy that went into claiming it.There are a few scratches on Chloe Espositos medal; its been handled by many people -- all keen to bask, if just for a few seconds, in the golden glow that engulfed the modern pentathlete on Aug. 20, 2016. And some of those scratches, perhaps, best reflect the journey of the effervescent young woman who became the first modern pentathlon competitor from outside Europe to stand atop the Olympic podium in 100 years.There is no denying Modern Pentathlon is a niche sport; in fact its five sports, and participation does not come cheaply. Funding is scarce. Chloes father, Daniel, who is also her coach and an Olympian in his own right, estimates keeping Chloe and her brother and fellow Rio Olympian Max at a competitive level, costs around $Aus500,000 per year.The majority of that money has to come out of the Esposito pockets.There is no elite training base for modern pentathletes in Australia. When ESPN asks Esposito where the headquarters in Australia are, her fiancé jokingly chips in with her home address; ironically its probably true.Daniel Esposito, who walks a tightrope between his professional role and just being dad, is an expert in his field having competed at the 1984 Olympics in Los Angeles. He knows what it takes to beat the world, and that means seeking out training environments that regularly pit you against the best competitors on the planet.?For the Espositos, that meant a move to Italy, then Hungary, in their quest to give their talented children the opportunity to fulfill their potential.For mum, Suzanne, the balance has been equally challenging as she juggles the responsibilities of the familys swimming school back home in Sydney while supporting a family all over the globe. That family also includes daughter Emily, a talented shooter who was based in Melbourne at the time, finessing a successful sporting career between two jobs and a university degree in Speech Therapy as well as qualification tournaments held in far flung countries such as Azerbaijan.Despite the lions share of the responsibility falling on the shoulders of the family, the Espositos have an influential champion in their corner. Australias 2016 Chef de Mission, Kitty Chiller, is an Olympian in modern pentathlon (Sydney 2000), and her delight in Chloe and Maxs success in Rio was palpable among myriad other issues her role demanded of her.Not just a former competitor, Chiller is President of Modern Pentathlon Austraalia, and her intensive lobbying for the sport saw some much needed funding go to the Esposito quest for excellence.ddddddddddddReports list the investment in modern pentathlon for this most recent Olympic cycle at around $Aus190,000, compared with the cost of the bronze medal in Archery at just over $Aus2.6 million, and that of swimming ($Aus4 million per medal) and cycling ($Aus16.3 million per medal). One can quite confidently assume that Kitty Chiller will be advocating strongly that modern pentathlon is worth a whole lot more in dollar value over the next four years.You dont need to be a genius to see that, statistically, the Winning Edge program has a greater likelihood of return on investment in sports with a larger number of participants, ergo possible champions. However, with medals in Tokyo 2020 the next target, is there room to think outside the box?Max Esposito finished seventh at the Rio Olympic Games, the same place sister Chloe finished in London on her debut. He also started the final stage with a 45-second handicap -- exactly the same as his gold medal-winning sister -- and he finished just 6 seconds from a bronze medal.Max Esposito may have played a crucial role as training partner for his sister in the past, but the individual achievements of the 19 year-old have not gone unnoticed.The portents are all there: Max Esposito was the youngest competitor in the mens modern pentathlon field in Rio, he has years of competition ahead of him, and his older sister has proved there might be gold in them thar hills.In four years time, could there be two Espositos on the podium for modern pentathlon?Surely a little lateral thinking could see an opportunity here.How about a Wild Card system? A funding pool that sits separately within the Winning Edge Program to be allocated to an individual or individuals with proven potential to win Olympic medals, world titles, and so on?A selection committee could interview eligible applicants who do not qualify under the usual scheme. The relevant sporting body could present their unique situation, and funding could be awarded on a case-by-case basis offering an athlete with a good chance of a podium finish in a more obscure sport, such as modern pentathlon, a one-off chance for support through a single Olympic cycle.This would both reward the athlete for their achievements and alleviate financial pressure on those who excel in sports that are not beneficiaries of investment on a large scale, while absolving the ASC/AIS of the responsibility of overexposing themselves for the long term in areas that could generate a public backlash.When modern pentathlon was introduced to the Olympic Games in Stockholm in 1912, it was founder of the Modern Olympics Baron Pierre de Coubertins belief that it would be this event, above all others, that tested a mans moral qualities as much as his physical resources and skills, producing thereby the ideal, complete athlete.Im sure in current times he would have agreed a woman was equally capable.The true value of an Olympic gold medal can in no way be measured by the market price of the metal from which it is made. The worth most certainly lies in the value of the neck it is placed around at an Olympiad.And Chloe Espositos medal definitely found a home around the neck of a rare jewel -- an unaffected, delightful embodiment of the spirit of Olympic competition.That has to be worth something?

Pakistan captain Azhar Ali was finally able to crack a smile at the post-match presentations after his side finished the series with a morale-boosting victory to prevent a 5-0 sweep by England. Sarfraz Ahmed and Shoaib Malik laid the foundation during a fourth-wicket stand of 163, after both walked to the crease in the 14th over, as Pakistan pulled off their highest successful ODI chase outside of Asia.The victory was only Pakistans second in ODI cricket this year and ended a run of seven consecutive defeats to England in the format. Azhar admitted that there was still work to do, with the side ranked No. 9 in the world - they have slipped to their lowest-ever points tally since the ICC rankings were introduced - and facing a struggle to qualify automatically for the World Cup, but hoped the building blocks were in place to achieve better results in future.Its a very happy camp right now because it has been a very tough tour for us in ODIs, getting a victory at the end and finishing on a high is really good, especially chasing 300 is really satisfying, Azhar said. The series was gone but credit should be given to the boys for the way they played todays game.Its a very good feeling right now. The way Sarfraz and Shoaib batted, we lost two wickets in one over and that could have been a turning point of the game but the way they built up the partnership was brilliant.Series was gone, losing 4-1 is not a result you want, but the way things were as a team we wanted to finish on a good note and thats what we achieved. There are a lot of things need to be improved, as a team we have to gel together and keep working on it.Despite a 4-1 defeat, there were areas in which Pakistan could point to improvement. Azhar had praise for Hasan Ali, who made his debut in Ireland and picked up a career-best 4 for 60 in Cardiff, as well as the spinning allrounders, Imad Wasim and Mohammad Nawaz, who could help with Pakistans balance in one-day cricket. Imad scored 153 runs without being dismissed in the series while Sarfraz, who made 90 to go with a century at Lords, was the leading run-scorer on either side with 300 runs.A few guys we have seen on this tour have really stepped up, they are young guys and if they can play good consistent cricket we are looking at a bright future, Azhar said. These are very good signs and especially the way Sarfraz batted, this whole tour hes been exceptional. Hes been positive and scoring good runs at No. 5, so weve got some good performances but we just need to bind it together and start playing consistent cricket.Another positive was Azhar ending his own run of poor form, finishing fourth on the run-scorers list with 208 runs after making 82 at the Ageas Bowl and 80 at Headingley. Its important to score runs, Im in the team as a batsman. I was missing runs, I got a few 80s so that will really help my confidence, he said. Leading by example is very important I will try and keep that form in coming series so that will help the team.Despite a first limited-overs defeat of the summer, England captain Eoin Morgan was pleased with the teams progress. With a fourth series win out of six secured after three games, England held off a Pakistan fightback at Headingley to win by four wickets after being 72 for 4 but could not go on to claim only their second 5-0 whitewash in ODIs.Weve been outstanding, Morgan said. One of the things we identified before the Pakistan tour was we want to strive to be as consistent as we can. We dont want to be the best one day and the worst another. Every game throughout the series, weve come out with a hunger and determination to perform at our best.Even after winning the series 3-0 and being pushed back chasing 250, I thought we showed a huge amount of character at Leeds. We have shown a lot of strength throughout this series, and more to build on.England looked set to score more than the 302 for 9 that they managed in Cardiff, having been 219 for 4 with more than 12 overs to go, but lost 5 for 64 to limp through to the finish. That was consistent with their recent philosophy of going as hard as possible with the bat and Morgan was happy with the way they went about the innings after being inserted.We lost a lot of momentum by losing wickets in the fashion we did, Morgan said. We dont really worry about the consequences. We just want to be better at executing the shots we want to play so we can post 350. The fact we fell short and only got 300 isnt a bad thing.I thought Jason Roy played well, and Ben Stokes backed up his innings from Leeds again. Were disappointed to lose, but I dont think it was that bad a performance. Wholesale Penguins Jerseys .

Rob Smedley says the resurfaced Spielberg circuit was a factor in Williams pretty mediocre showing at the Austrian Grand Prix.?Austria had been one of Williams strongest venues over the past two seasons, with Felipe Massa taking pole position in 2014 and back-to-back podium finishes. Despite high expectations going into the weekend the team had to settle for ninth position with Valtteri Bottas, while Massa retired with a brake issue with ten laps remaining.The Red Bull Ring had been resurfaced in the weeks leading up to the race and Smedley, the teams head of performance, thinks this was a major reason the team struggled to match its previous form.It was not where we need to be, Smedley said. It was just pretty mediocre throughout, we didnt have the pace in the car itself. Valtteri wasnt able to make the tyres last, which is a little bit strange for him, but even without that, the pace in the car just wasnt there.With the asphalt changes they have made here, I think its a different circuit. We need to try and understand it, we need more expertise in that area and to improve our knowledge of tyre science.Williams race hopes had not been helped by Massa needing to start from the pit lane ahead of the race after the team found damage on the updated front wing the Brazilian had been running.We noticed that there was some structural damage to it, on the mainplane. We may have been able to do some of the race on it, but we werent prepared to take that risk.The safety of our drivers and our people is paramount so we took the decision we would change that front wing and upon doing that, we rolled back to the old spec. Even though we had a downgrade in performance, we had broken the parc ferme rules and we had to start from the pitlane.Smedley believes the damage was a fatigue issue caused by the kerbs at Turn 2. Austrias kerbs had been a controversial subject throughout the weekend after causing a number of suspension failures in practice.One positive for the team is that it continued its incredible run of lightning fast pit stops, topping the charts for the ninth race in a row with Massas 2.2s stop. Pit stops were an area the team struggled with in previous seasons.? NMD Replica .C. at the helm of the top team in the Eastern Conference. His tenure as the GM in Vancouver was all too brief. Though he led the Canucks to what was then a franchise record-shattering campaign in just his second season, Nonis was gone and replaced one year later. NMD For Sale . -- Jimmy Walkers first PGA Tour trophy came with a special gift tucked inside. https://www.cheapnmdoutlet.com/ . 24 Baylor in a Big 12 clash between teams trending in opposite directions. Andrew Wiggins made 10-of-12 from the foul line and scored 17 for Kansas (14-4, 5-0 Big 12), which capped a stretch of four straight games against ranked opponents unscathed. NMD Clearance . That left plenty of energy for pitching books and swatting away free agency questions. Anthony had 24 points and nine rebounds, and the Knicks avenged an embarrassing home loss with a rout of their own, beating the Boston Celtics 114-88 on Wednesday night for their third straight victory. NMD Online .com) - Christian Ponder will get another chance to prove himself for the Minnesota Vikings, with head coach Leslie Frazier announcing Wednesday that the struggling quarterback will start this weekends game against the Green Bay Packers. SYRACUSE, N.Y. -- Its been a month since Syracuse coach Dino Babers delivered a stirring postgame locker room speech that went viral on social media after the most important victory of his first year with the Orange.But since that upset win over then-No. 17 Virginia Tech, Our house! has become Their house. Syracuse lost its next home game -- 35-20 last week to North Carolina State to fall to 2/3 in the Carrier Dome. Now, the Orange have a chance to reclaim their house and send their seniors out with a victory when they close their home schedule on Saturday against No. 17 Florida State (7-3, 4-3 ACC, No. 17 CFP).Its an important game for both teams.The Seminoles have won four of five and are striving to keep the momentum going to reach an upper-tier bowl game, while the Orange (4-6, 2-4 ACC) are simply trying to qualify for the postseason with only two games left in the regular season.I dont settle for anything. Im not going to settle, Babers said. So, there is no bone in my body that says, hey, Im looking forward to next year. My whole task is finding ... a way to win now. And if we cant, then at least we know we did everything we can possibly do.Syracuse has been hit hard by injuries, and starting quarterback Eric Dungey tops the list. Sidelined by a hard shoulder-head hit two weeks ago in a 54-0 loss at Clemson, he was listed as questionable against N.C. State, did not play, and was still awaiting results of a second battery of tests. Hes listed as doubtful for Florida State.The Seminoles arent taking any chances.Weve got to anticipate Dungey will play, Florida State coach Jimbo Fisher said. You have to anticipate for Dungey to play, and you have to look at the other guys and prepare for them. It makes it difficult.Other things to know when No. 17 Florida State plays at Syracuse on Saturday:COOKS CORNER: FSU tailback Dalvin Cook needs just 19 yards to eclipse Warrick Dunns 20-year-old record (3,959 yards) and become the schools career leading rusher. He also needs 59 yard to reach 4,000, which would make him the sixth back in ACC history to accomplish the feat and the first as a junior.Ive been thinking about it all week. Theyve been reminding me in the locker room, Cook said. HHopefully, we get it over with fast.ddddddddddddCook has 19 career 100-yard games, and the first came two years ago in the Carrier Dome against the Orange. He rushed for 122 yards and one TD on 23 carries and still calls it his coming-out game.SUPER SUB: Last year Syracuse walk-on QB Zack Mahoney started four games in place of Dungey, who suffered at least one concussion and was hit hard several times. Mahoney played so well, especially against LSU and Clemson, that he was awarded a scholarship for this season. He did OK against the Wolfpack, finishing 13 of 24 for 190 yards and one touchdown with an interception.I think Zack played extremely well, Babers said. Its not about what Zack does for our football team. Its what the other 21 guys have to do. Anytime you lose a person of Erics caliber, you dont expect the back-up guy to come up and play at that same level.DEFENSE RULES: FSU is coming off a dominant defensive performance in a 45-7 win over Boston College . The starters held BC scoreless and allowed just 86 total yards (57 rushing, 29 passing), and three first downs while forcing nine straight 3-and-outs.I think we have a high ceiling, LB Matthew Thomas said. We go out there, play how we want to play. Syracuse, they shouldnt score on us if we do what we want to do, so its all on us.RECEIVERS EMERGING: Auden Tate (101 yards vs. Boston College) and Nyqwan Murray (153 yards vs. N.C. State) have started to emerge as viable passing options in the Seminoles offense. With Jesus Wilson out for the remainder of the season, both sophomores have seen their snaps increase and could have big games against a Syracuse secondary that is 13th in passing defense in the ACC. Florida State has had four players with 100-yard receiving games this season.RED ZONE SUCCESS: Florida State has converted its last 19 opportunities in the red zone, including 15 touchdowns.---AP Sports Writer Joe Reedy in Florida contributed to this report.---More AP college football: www.collegefootball.ap.org and https://twitter.com/AP-Top25---Follow Kekis on Twitter: www.twitter.com/Greek1947 ' ' '

All members of the Pakistan cricket team are safe in Nelson after an earthquake of high intensity hit New Zealand, their manager Wasim Bari has confirmed. Pakistan were in Nelson to play a three-day tour game before the first Test, scheduled to begin in Christchurch on November 17. The epicentre of the quake was 200km away, also on the South Island, but it was so strong - 7.5 on Richter Scale - that tremors were felt across the country.The Pakistan womens team, who are also touring New Zealand, was even closer, staying on the 13th floor of a hotel in Christchurch. Basit Ali, their manager, told Geo News that they were all safe but still scared.The earthquake struck late on Sunday evening. We felt the first tremors around 11.30pm, Bari, the former Pakistan wicketkeeper, told ESPNcricinfo. Some of the boys were in prayer, some were watching the India-England Test on TV when we felt the windows shake. The whole room began to shake. We were on the sixth and seventh floor, and evacuated immediately. The hotel staff was very helpful. We are all safe.By around 1am on Monday morning, having walked around outdoors for a bit, the team moved back to the reception. They had not yet got the clearance to go back up to the higher floors. There have been aftershocks too, Bari said.The east coast of New Zealands South Island is on a tsunami alert with people being asked to move either inland or to higher buildings if they cant travel inland. Nelson is at the northern tip of the South Island, but the Pakistan team remains aware of the tsunami risk.Pakistan were supposed to travel to Christchurch on Monday, but their plans are now uncertain. This being the middle of the night, there had been no communication between the Pakistan team and the NZC, but NZCs liaison officer has been with the team through the ordeal, Bari said.The epicentre of the earthquake was at a depth of about 5km, about 40km from the town of Amberley, which in turn is only about 90km north-north-east of Christchurch, which was devastated by an earthquake in 2011. Whether the city will be able to host the Test beginning on Thursday will only be known once the damage is assessed properly on Monday morning. Kd Basket Italia . -- Matt Ryan needed one of the best games of his career to lead the Falcons and their depleted offence out of their three-game losing streak last week. Air Max 720 Italia . The 18th player to shoot 60 on the tour, Jamieson settled for par on the final hole when his 15-foot birdie chip grazed the edge of the hole and stayed out. After opening with rounds of 66 and 73 to make the cut by a stroke, he had 11 birdies in the bogey-free round. http://www.airmaxshoponlineitalia.it/scontate-max-95-outlet.html . Carey Price didnt, but he still came out on top against one of his rivals for the No. 1 job at the Sochi Games. The Anahim Lake, B.C., native was stellar in making 39 saves in his home province and Lars Eller got credit for a bizarre short-handed winner as the Canadiens defeated the Canucks 4-1. Vapormax Prezzo Basso . It was hard for Luck to pull off another comeback, or even get into the end zone, while standing on the sideline. Rivers threw a 22-yard touchdown pass to rookie Keenan Allen and Nick Novak kicked four field goals to give the Chargers a 19-9 victory against the Colts on Monday night. Scarpe Lebron James 2019 . The next step is a better finish. Bae played bogey-free Friday on another gorgeous day at Riviera for a 5-under 66, giving him a one-shot lead over Aaron Baddeley and Robert Garrigus going into the weekend.England were restricted to just 142-7 by Afghanistan at the World Twenty20 to leave their tournament hopes hanging in the balance. England were in serious trouble on 85-7 - and in danger of a major embarrassment against the tournament minnows - but late hitting from Moeen Ali (41no) and David Willey (20no) gave them a total to defend.Englands bowlers now need to bail the batsmen out or Eoin Morgans men will almost certainly be out of the tournament. Captain Morgan won the toss and decided to bat first in the Group One match at the Feroz Shah Kotla Stadium in Delhi, but the top and middle order were humbled by Afghanistans collection of four unsung spinners.Jason Roy was first to go, bowled after dancing down the pitch to left-arm spinner Amir Hamza, swinging and missing.James Vince (22) - in for the injured Alex Hales - and Joe Root (12) steadied the ship, but England then lost three wickets in the space of four balls.First Hampshire batsman Vince offered a return catch to off-spinner Mohammad Nabi (2-17) - 42-2. Off the very next ball Morgan offered no shot to Nabi, and the ball hit his off stump - 42-3.Ben Stokes survived the hat-trick ball but then ran out Englands key batsman Root off the very next delivery in disastrous fashion. Joe Root is run out by Mohammad Nabi of Afghanistan Stokes turned the ball away, and RRoot charged up the wicket going for a single, only to be sent back by his partner, and the fuming Yorkshire star was run out by Nabi by a mile.ddddddddddddJos Buttler (seven) was then brilliantly caught by all-action Nabi off Samiullah Shenwari, diving forward at short extra cover.Stokes (seven) failed to redeem himself for running Root out, falling in comical fashion. He aimed to pull a googly from 17-year-old leg-spinner Rashid Khan (2-17) but was too early on it, inside edging onto his stumps and falling on to his backside in the process - 57-6. Afghanistan celebrate the run out of Root Chris Jordan (15) patiently rebuilt with Ali but then chipped a mistimed shot straight to Khan to leave England 85-7.Ali and Willey nudged and nurdled their team past the 100 mark, to ensure England would at least have something to bowl at.And some big hits in the last few overs - Willey smacking two big sixes - made the total much more respectable than it promised to be half an hour earlier.Watch Afghanistans chase live on Sky Sports 2 now or follow over-by-over commentary on our blog.

DETROIT LIONS (7-9)OPEN CAMP: July 28, Allen Park, MichiganLAST YEAR: Lost first five games and seven of eight, leading to team president Tom Lewand, general manager Martin Mayhew and offensive coordinator Joe Lombardi getting fired. Won seven of last nine games, helping coach Jim Caldwell retain job for third season, under first-year general manager Bob Quinn.IMPORTANT ADDITIONS: WRs Marvin Jones and Jeremy Kerley, rookie OT Taylor Decker, rookie DT AShawn Robinson, OG Geoff Schwartz.IMPORTANT LOSSES: WR Calvin Johnson, RB Joique Bell, DE Jason Jones, LB Stephen Tulloch, CB Rashean Mathis, SS James Ihedigbo.CAMP NEEDS: QB Matthew Stafford has to work on chemistry with receiving corps without Johnson, especially veteran newcomers Jones and Kerley. Detroit must figure out how to protect Stafford better and to open more holes for running game with reshaped line that includes Decker as highly touted, first-round pick. Defensively, coaches are hoping any DE -- perhaps Devin Taylor -- emerges to start opposite rising star Ezekiel Ansah. Lions also need DT -- ideally, Robinson -- can be paired with veteran Haloti Ngata.EXPECTATIONS: Lions had losing record in seven of Johnsons nine years. They will be projected to have another sub-.500 season without retired superstar drawing double-coverage on almost every snap. Quinn, first-time GM, will not be under pressure to win right away.

Nico Rosberg eased Mercedes fears about its pace in Singapore by topping second practice, though teammate Lewis Hamiltons disjointed session ended prematurely with a hydraulics issue.It was in FP2 last year where Mercedes struggles first became apparent in a weekend which saw the team qualify nearly 1.5s off the pole and finish off the podium for the first time in the V6 era. The team came into the weekend hoping to have solved those issues and the evening session under the lights suggested progress has been made, with Rosbergs 1:44.152 a full 0.3s quicker than Kimi Raikkonen in the quickest Ferrari.Mercedes optimism will be tempered by Hamiltons session, however, with the reigning world champion aborting his first qualifying simulation and then enduring a messy series of laps of the ultra-soft tyres afterwards. He then returned to the pits, where the cover was taken off his engine, something Mercedes later confirmed was to investigate a hydraulic alert while on the circuit. The team decided the issue could not be resolved in the final 15 minutes and he did not return to the circuit. It means the world champion missed out on the long runs at the end of the session -- a significant blow in Singapore as FP2 is the only practice session which is considered relevant to the rest of the weekend as the full session takes place under floodlights.?Max Verstappen finished third as Red Bull struggled to live up to its favourites tag, though he and teammate Daniel Ricciardo both appeared to struggle to get the most out of their cars in the final sector. Sebastian Vettel could only manage fifth, though he clearly did not nail a perfect lap and finished 0.7s off teammate Raikkonen. Force Indias Nico Hulkenberg finished an impressive sixth for Force India, suggesting once again the team has made huge strides in development in recent months. Hamilton finished seventh and only completed 20 laps.Carlos Sainz finished eighth for Toro Rosso at a circuit which could be the last chance for a strong result in 2016. Fernando Alonso finished ninth, two positions down on where McLaren expects to qualify tomorrow, though Friday practice is rarely an accurate predictor of every position on the grid. However, the Spaniard pulled up at Turn 16 at the end of the session with what he reported to be a gearbox issue, which could have ramifications for the Spaniard later in the weekend. Daniil Kvyat rounded off the top ten on a weekend he will hope ends his long and painful wait for points.Sergio Perez, who was complaining about issues during the session, had to settle for 11th ahead of Jenson Button and Esteban Gutierrez. Felipe Massa and Valtteri Bottas took the next two spaces and, though Williams often makes a big step forward on Saturday it seems to have a lot of work to do to catch Force India overnight. Kevin Magnussen and Valtteri Bottas finished 16th and 17th, ahead of Felipe Nasr, who earned the wrath of Ricciardo late in the session for holding him up after exiting the pit lane.Romain Grosjean finished 19th but lost his rear wing early in the session, spinning out of the last corner and tapping the barrier. He finished ahead of Marcus Ericsson and Pascal Wehrlein. Manors Esteban Ocon rounded off the timing screens a full three seconds down, though he was lucky to return his car to the garage in one piece after clouting the wall on two occasions at the end of his ultra-soft qualifying simulation. Vans Shoes Clearance Outlet . As the crowd erupted, Davis knocked the ball off the glass and back into his hands. With 1:14 to go in overtime, Davis sixth block also became his 17th rebound.

CINCINNATI -- When the Bengals need a big play, they crumble.Thats been their offenses theme all season, and its left them in tenuous position for a sixth straight playoff berth.The fourth quarter has been their undoing.The Bengals (3-5-1) had another late meltdown on Monday night, falling to the New York Giants 21-20 .They entered the fourth quarter with a lead and wasted chances to put the game away, something thats happened repeatedly during their season.Youve got to be at your best in the fourth quarter, and we havent put it together, Andy Dalton said on Wednesday. Weve been close.Its been the most puzzling part of an offense that piles up the yards but not the points, especially when it matters most.Dalton ranks 21st in fourth-quarter passer rating at 85.2. Hes thrown only three touchdown passes in the fourth quarter, all of them when the opponents went soft on defense while finishing off a game with a lead. One came in Pittsburgh, the other two in Dallas.Cincinnati has scored 40 points in the fourth quarter -- its fewest in any quarter -- and has been held to three points or fewer in six of its nine games.Against the Giants, the Bengals had the ball five times after pulling ahead 20-14 midway through the third quarter and managed only 47 yards and three first downs -- one by penalty -- the rest of the way.The reality is weve been in games at the end and just havent been able to find plays, left tackle Andrew Whitworth said.I think it can go one of two ways: You start to develop into a team that doesnt seem to find an answer, or you can turn it around and make it swing in the other direction.Theres not much time left to get it figured out. The defending AFC North champions trail Baltimore (5-4) and Pittsburgh (4-5) heading into the final stretch of the season.Theyve got two games with Baltimore and they host the Steelers, so theres still a chance to catch up, but only if they figure out how to do a better job of protecting Dalton.He was sacked twice on the final series, when the Bengals line got overwhelmed . Dalton has been sacked 28 times, third-most in the NFL behind Indianapolis and Cleveland quarterbacks. The Bengals are on pace to allow 50 sacks for only the seventh time in franchise history.The Bengals are one of the healthiest teams in the league, so thats not been a factor in the diminished pass protection.Its hard to say whats the big difference for this team, Dalton said. The core is together.On Sunday, they host Buffalo (4-5), which leads the league with 30 sacks. A veteran line knows that it has to do better at giving Dalton time against the Bills .As youve been in this league longer, I think more of our guys are going to find that out that (opponents) start to figure you out, how you block and how you do things, and youd better have an answer for it, Whitworth said.Game notes Dalton was limited in practice on Wednesday with a sore throwing shoulder, but is expected to play against the Bills. The Bengals held a light workout coming off the Monday night game. ... G Clint Boling (shoulder), TE Tyler Eifert (knee) and WR Bandon LaFell (knee) also were limited in the offenses workouts. LB Rey Maualuga, who was inactive against the Giants because of an injured fibula, practiced on a limited basis. ... DE Wallace Gilberry had a sore calf and didnt fully practice following his first game since re-signing with Cincinnati.---AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and http://twitter.com/AP-NFL Charles Johnson Jersey .

Edgar Renteria Jersey . -- Ken Appleby made 32 saves for his first shutout of the season to lead the Oshawa Generals to a 2-0 win over the Belleville Bulls on Wednesday in Ontario Hockey League action. Luis Castillo Jersey . -- Tony Stewart is 20 pounds lighter and has a titanium rod in his surgically repaired right leg. RICHMOND, Va. -- Ahmad Caver had 13 points, seven rebounds and five assists, Zoran Talley scored 12 points and OId Dominion beat Richmond 64-61 on Monday night.ODU (2-0) snapped a 10-game road losing streak against the Spiders.Caver made a layup and then, after his steal from Jones, fed Brandan Stith for a dunk that put Old Dominion up 60-59 with 3:49 to play. Neither team made a field goal the rest of the way, combining to go 0-for-7 -- with Richmond missing its last five shots including a half-court heave by ShawnDre Jones as time expired.The Monarchs made 4 of 6 foul shots, including 3 of 4 by Talley in the final 1:44, to seal it.dddddddddddd.A 3-pointer by Jordan Baker capped a 16-0 Old Dominion run to open the game and the Monarchs led 22-4 with 9:44 left in the half.

The Golden State Warriors are asking for $15 million to $20 million per year for the rights for a company to put its logo on their jersey starting in the 2017-18 season, sources told ESPN.It is believed that the Warriors, who won the NBA title in 2015 but lost in the Finals to the Cleveland Cavaliers in seven games this year, are asking for more money than any other team.The NBA recently approved a three-year pilot program to allow teams to sell 2?-inch by 2?-inch patches on the upper left of jerseys, opposite what will be a swoosh from Nike, which will begin its deal as the leagues official apparel-maker after the 2016-17 season.Only one club has consummated a deal since the league allowed teams to start doing business in mid-May. The Philadelphia 76ers three-year deal with StubHub is worth $5 million a year, according to sources.The Warriors are making a case to companies that star power -- which now includes Kevin Durant -- combined with their huge market and local television ratings make the high cost of doing business worth it.What companies will ultimately pay is said to be based on how much is included in the package beyond the logo on the jersey, such as whether they get sponsor category exclusivity, arena signage inventory and breadth of use to a teams logos for marketing.Category competitiveness will also play a part, as a company in the tech sector with hundreds of competitors would likely pay more than a soft drink company, which features a main battle of Coca-Cola versus Pepsi.Officials with the Warriors declined comment.Eric Smallwood of Apex Marketing Group, a sponsorship evaluation company that has been hired by some teams to help maximize their logo patch deals, said the greatest value is based on how many national television broadcasts a team will have, which is largely based on how good the team is.Smallwood said the concern from sponsors would be if a three-year deal is signed and key players leave.Sponsors have to have a player contingency put in these deals, Smallwood said.In the 2013-14 season, for example, Miami had 25 national television games and Cleveland had four. LeBron James then went back to Cleveland, and the next season, the Cavaliers were featured in 21 games while Miami had 16.Smallwood said that -- based on his calculations of total exposure that includes TV broadcasts, social media and internet exposure -- the Warriors would have a patch worth $12.9 million to $19.3 million if they had at least 30 national TV games. That doesnt include playoffs, Smallwood said.A three-year Warriors deal could present some challenges. Stephen Curry?and Durant could be gone by the time the patch deal would start in 2017-18. A patch deal could also tie in to a new arena for the 2018-19 season, which isnt on a definite timetable yet.While many elements are included in a patch deal, teams have to declare what the value of just the patch itself is. Thats because the value of the deal must be divided into two -- 50 percent to the teams and 50 percent to the players. Of the 50 percent that the teams keep, half of that goes to the team that did the deal with the other half going to a revenue-sharing pool.The corporate logos will not be on jerseys at retail nationwide. Teams can elect to sell the jersey with the corporate logo in their team stores. The 76ers said they would offer that option to fans.

TORONTO -- The Baltimore Orioles were enraged after a fan threw a beer can onto the field as outfielder Hyun Soo Kim caught the final out in the seventh inning of the?Blue Jays?5-2 win in the American League wild-card game at Rogers Centre on Tuesday.As Kim settled under a fly ball off the bat of Melvin Upton Jr., the can sailed past him and landed on the turf. Baltimore center fielder Adam Jones angrily pointed into the stands and yelled into the crowd.Baltimore manager Buck Showalter emerged from the dugout and walked all the way to left field to register his displeasure with the umpiring crew before returning to the dugout.?Said Jones: Someone threw a beer down at my player. Thats about as pathetic as it gets between the lines. You dont do that. I dont care how passionate you think you are. Yell, cuss, scream, tell us were horrible. We get that. Were the opposition.

[Kim] wasnt looking, and you can hit him in the back of the head and you never know what could happen.dddddddddddd Thats a full beer being thrown. Thats not part of the sport.

Do something like that.Jones also appeared to confirm a report that racial and ethnic slurs were hurled at him and Kim from the Rogers Centre stands, but he said he wasnt concerned about verbal assaults.Ive heard that so much while playing baseball, I dont even care, Jones said.

Its not part of any sport.Orioles catcher Matt Wieters watched the incident play out from behind the plate and agreed with Jones that the fan in question should be punished for his actions.Its a shame some idiot would decide to do that, Wieters said.
