"Approximately a week to 10 days ago Brandon was evaluated thoroughly by our medical staff and also did a voluntary workout for our Head Therapist Rodney Sassi. He was impressive and showed that he is determined to return to the playing field and stay an Alouette."

Cheap Real Adidas Nmd . -- Teemu Selanne scored the first goal of his 22nd NHL season, and the Anaheim Ducks extended the best start in franchise history with their fifth straight victory, 3-2 over the Calgary Flames on Wednesday night. CHICAGO -- Carlos Rodon was so disgusted with a start earlier in the season he tossed his glove into the stands. It got worse when he sprained his left wrist slipping on the dugout steps as he rushed out for the national anthem.After missing nearly a month, Rodon is starting to show why he was the third overall pick in the 2014 draft with hopes of joining fellow lefty starters Chris Sale and Jose Quintana atop the White Sox rotation.Rodon threw 6 2/3 scoreless innings, Jose Abreu homered for a third straight game and Chicago beat the slumping Philadelphia Phillies 9-1 on Tuesday night.Its building up trying to get to Q and Sale, Rodon said. Those guys are very good, top-line starters. Of the left-handers in the game, theyre probably the two best. Id love to be like that.Rodon (4-8) allowed three hits and has a 1.46 ERA in his past four starts after missing most of July. His fastball was consistently at 96 mph and he even worked on a new backdoor slider.Everything he does has effort, and its strength, White Sox manager Robin Ventura said. When he has it going on it looks really good. He doesnt need to get away from his strength and physicality is one of them. When he picks around and throws soft stuff hes not as effective.Abreu hit a two-run home run and Justin Morneau followed with a solo shot in the fifth off Jake Thompson (1-3), who gave up seven runs and eight hits in five innings.Adam Eaton tripled, singled and scored twice and Tim Anderson tripled, reached base three times and drove in a run as Chicago built a 9-0 lead in its third straight win.Freddy Galvis hit his 13th home run off Chris Beck in the seventh to end a 17-inning scoreless streak for the Phillies, who have dropped five of seven.Abreu hit 36 homers while winning AL Rookie of the Year in 2014 and 30 last year. Hes up to 17 as he heats up after struggling much of the season. Abreu has five homers and 11 RBI in his past 16 games despite a sore hamstring.This is as good as hes looked all year as far as nnot chasing stuff, Ventura said.ddddddddddddThe Phillies, playing on Chicagos South Side for the first time since 2004, managed five hits while Thompson allowed five extra-base hits and four walks in his fourth big league start.The right-hander has yet to pitch past the fifth inning and saw his ERA swell to 9.78. Thompson has walked 13 in 19 1/3 innings.He relies a lot on command, and he hasnt shown that, Phillies manager Pete Mackanin said. I attribute a lot of that to his youth and inexperience.TRAINERS ROOMPhillies: SS prospect J.P. Crawford (oblique) is back playing for Triple-A Lehigh Valley and is a September call-up candidate.White Sox: RF Avisail Garcia (knee) was activated off the 15-day DL and went 1 for 4 with a double. OF Jason Coats was optioned to Triple-A Charlotte, leaving nine players on the DL. . 2B Brett Lawrie (left hamstring) returned from his rehab assignment because of a setback and was scheduled for tests. . 2B Tyler Saladino (back) was available off the bench.NO HOWARDPhillies 1B Ryan Howard, hitting .107 vs. lefties, was out of the lineup. U.S. Cellular Field is the lone active major league park the former NL MVP hasnt played in.ASHER RETURNSPhillies RHP Alec Asher, serving an 80-game suspension for a positive drug test, gave up one run in one inning Tuesday in the start of a rehab assignment with the Class-A affiliate in the Gulf Coast League.TEBOWINGThe Phillies confirmed they will have a scout at Tim Tebows workout next Tuesday in Los Angeles.ROTATION CHANGE?Ventura said rookie RHP Carson Fulmer, sent to the minors to be stretched into a starter, could join the rotation soon. He allowed one run in four innings Tuesday night for Charlotte.UP NEXTWhite Sox RHP James Shields (5-15, 5.98 ERA) faces RHP Jerad Eickhoff (8-12, 3.91) to close the series Wednesday night.

Baylors blackout turned into a wipeout on Saturday.The No. 17 Bears wore black uniforms for their rivalry game against TCU at McLane Stadium, but it was far from enjoyable. The Horned Frogs blasted the Bears 62-22, handing Baylor its worst home loss since 2005.After winning its first six games under acting coach Jim Grobe, Baylor has now dropped consecutive games, and its season is suddenly spinning out of control. Tailback Shock Linwood reportedly shoved assistant coach Tate Wallis on the sideline Saturday and didnt play again.The Bears were one of four teams eliminated from consideration for the College Football Playoff by The Eliminator this week. After 10 weeks of the 2016 season, weve eliminated 113 of the 128 FBS teams from consideration, leaving 15 teams in contention for the four playoff spots with four weeks to play.Heres where the FBS stands after Week 10:Jump to sections: Whos in??| Still in contention | On the fence | Better luck next season | Previously eliminatedWhos in?The CFP selection committee threw us a nasty curveball in its initial rankings last week by putting Texas A&M in the No. 4 spot, ahead of undefeated Washington. That probably wont last long after the Aggies fell hard in a 35-28 loss at unranked Mississippi State on Saturday. No. 1 Alabama should maintain the top spot after shutting out LSU 10-0 on the road for its 21st consecutive victory. Clemson and Michigan also seem safe just below the Crimson Tide after winning by 54 and 56 points, respectively. Washington seems to be the most likely team to jump into the top four after routing California 66-27 on Saturday night. Unless, of course, the committee favors No. 6 Ohio States or No. 7 Louisvilles overall bodies of work.Still in contentionAlabama Crimson TideTrending: UPCome on, LSU. Dont you think its time to erect a statue of Nick Saban somewhere outside Tiger Stadium?Clemson TigersTrending: UPAfter demolishing Syracuse 54-0 at Death Valley on Saturday, the Tigers became the latest FBS team to celebrate with the Mannequin Challenge. In other words, they stood around like Texas Techs defense.Louisville CardinalsTrending: UPLouisville coach Bobby Petrino was so upset that the Cardinals were only No. 7 in the initial CFP rankings, he suggested they should have scored 80 points in an early-season rout over Florida State. Or maybe the Cardinals shouldnt have given up 42 against Clemson.Michigan WolverinesTrending: UPThe Wolverines have three 50-point victories over Hawaii, Rutgers and Maryland this season, which is as many as Michigan had in seven seasons combined under former coaches Rich Rodriguez and Brady Hoke.Ohio State BuckeyesTrending: UPIt could be worse, Cornhuskers. At least you didnt lose to the Buckeyes by 59 points when they were starting their No. 3 quarterback.Washington HuskiesTrending: UPThe selection committee will probably flip a coin to decide whether Ohio State or Louisville will be ranked ahead of the Huskies for the No. 4 spot this week.On the fenceAuburn TigersTrending: EVENQuarterback Sean White never looked so good, right?North Carolina Tar HeelsTrending: UPHows this for halftime adjustments? After the Tar Heels allowed only three points in the second half of a 48-20 win over Georgia Tech, UNC coach Larry Fedora said, Didnt change a thing, we told em to go out and play pissed off.Oklahoma SoonersTrending: UPMaybe its time to change Dede Westbrooks name to Dede TD. He had a 65-yard touchdown catch in Oklahomas 34-24 win at Iowa State on Thursday night, giving him 12 in six Big 12 games. He had 233 all-purpose yards on only nine touches.Texas A&M AggiesTrending: DOWNEven though you were in the top four for only four days, Aggies, look on the bright side: It was four more days than any other FBS team in Texas.?Utah UtesTrending: EVENThe Utes had the weekend off before playing at Arizona State on Thursday night. Leading rusher Joe Williams kept busy by completing arts and crafts and playing bingo.Virginia Tech HokiesTrending: EVENThe Hokies have had a few problems on the road, losing at Syracuse and narrowly winning at Pittsburgh and Duke. The good news: Their final two ACC games against Georgia Tech and Virginia are at home. ESPNs Football Power Index gives Tech an 80 percent chance to win the ACC Coastal.West Virginia MountaineersTrending: UPThe Mountaineers rebounded from their lone loss at Oklahoma State by crushing Kansas 48-21 at home Saturday. It was the Jayhawks 35th consecutive road loss against Big 12 foes and 40th in a row overall. Theyre now 5-56 against ranked Big 12 opponents.Western Michigan BroncosTrending: UPWords I never thought Id write: The second-best FBS team in Michigan resides in Kalamazoo. The Broncos are 9-0 after blasting Ball State 52-20 on Tuesday night.Wisconsin BadgersTrending: UPAfter Nebraska fell badly at Ohio State, the Badgers might be in line to play in the Big Ten championship game. ESPNs FPI gives Wisconsin an 88 percent chance to win its last three games against Illinois, Purdue and Minnesota and clinch the Big Ten West.Better luck next seasonBaylor BearsTrending: DOWNNo comment.Florida GatorsTrending: DOWNMaybe Floridas sports ambassador can fix the Gators reeling offense.LSU TigersTrending: DOWNCome on, Tigers. You couldnt come up with a better way to honor Les Miles than by not scoring points against Alabama?Nebraska CornhuskersTrending: DOWNSure, the outcome wasnt good. But there wasnt a better sight Saturday night than Nebraska quarterback Tommy Armstrong Jr. running back to the sideline after what appeared to be a scary injury.Previously eliminatedEliminated in Week 9: Boise State Broncos, Pittsburgh Panthers, Tennessee VolunteersEliminated in Week 8:?Houston Cougars,?Miami HurricanesEliminated in Week 7: Arizona State Sun Devils, Maryland Terrapins, Ole Miss Rebels, Wake Forest Demon DeaconsEliminated in Week 6:?Air Force Falcons,?Arkansas Razorbacks,?Colorado Buffaloes,?Indiana Hoosiers,?Minnesota Gophers,?Stanford Cardinal,?Texas Tech Red Raiders,?UCLA BruinsEliminated in Week 5:?Arizona Wildcats, Cincinnati Bearcats, Florida State Seminoles, Georgia Bulldogs, Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets, Iowa Hawkeyes, Kansas State Wildcats, Memphis Tigers, Michigan State Spartans, Navy Midshipmen, Oregon Ducks, San Diego State Aztecs, TCU Horned Frogs, Texas Longhorns, Toledo RocketsEliminated in Week 4: Army Black Knights, Central Michigan Chippewas, East Carolina Pirates, Georgia Southern Eagles, Oklahoma State Cowboys, Oregon State Beavers, Penn State Nittany Lions, Rutgers Scarlet Knights, South Carolina Gamecocks, South Florida Bulls, USC TrojansEliminated in Week 3: Boston College Eagles, Duke Blue Devils, Illinois Fighting Illini, Marshall Thundering Herd,?Missouri Tigers, Notre Dame Fighting Irish, Southern Mississippi Golden Eagles, Syracuse Orange, Texas State Bobcats, Vanderbilt CommodoresEliminated in Week 2: Akron Zips, Ball State Cardinals, BYU Cougars, California Bears, Connecticut Huskies, Eastern Michigan Eagles, Florida Atlantic Owls, Idaho Vandals, Kansas Jayhawks, Louisiana Monroe Warhawks, Middle Tennessee Blue Raiders, Nevada Wolf Pack, New Mexico Lobos, NC State Wolfpack, Old Dominion Monarchs, Purdue Boilermakers, SMU Mustangs, South Alabama Jaguars, Texas San Antonio Roadrunners, Troy Trojans, Tulsa Golden Hurricane, UCF Knights, UNLV Rebels, Utah State Aggies, UTEP Miners, Western Kentucky Hilltoppers, Wyoming CowboysEliminated in Week 1: Appalachian State Mountaineers, Arkansas State Red Wolves, Bowling Green Falcons, Buffalo Bulls, Charlotte 49ers, Colorado State Rams, Florida International Golden Panthers, Fresno State Bulldogs, Georgia State Panthers, Hawaii Rainbow Warriors, Iowa State Cyclones, Kent State Golden Flashes, Kentucky Wildcats, Louisiana Lafayette Ragin Cajuns, Louisiana Tech Bulldogs, Massachusetts Minutemen, Miami (Ohio) RedHawks, Mississippi State Bulldogs, New Mexico State Aggies, North Texas Mean Green, Northern Illinois Huskies, Northwestern Wildcats, Ohio Bobcats, Rice Owls, San Jose State Spartans, Temple Owls, Tulane Green Wave, Virginia Cavaliers, Washington State Cougars http://www.jetsrookiestore.com/Jets-Keyshawn-Johnson-Jersey/ .ca NHL Power Rankings for the second straight week, ahead of the Pittsburgh Penguins and Colorado Avalanche. http://www.jetsrookiestore.com/Jets-Demario-Davis-Jersey/ . There are some early surprises in the race for the Hart Trophy, but two of the contenders are the leagues biggest stars over the past decade. There are many more players in contention for the awards than just the three that Ive named, and a good or bad week can easily alter the landscape, but through the first 20 or so games of the NHL season, this is how the awards races look to me. http://www.jetsrookiestore.com/Jets-Wesley-Johnson-Jersey/ . The deal is pending a physical, assistant general manager Bobby Evans said. Traded from Seattle to Baltimore on Aug. 30, Morse also can play first base and right field to give manager Bruce Bochy some flexibility in writing his lineup. http://www.jetsrookiestore.com/Jets-Jermaine-Kearse-Jersey/ . Two pressure cooker bombs exploded near the finish line of the April 15 race in an area packed with fans cheering the passing runners.

Fred Couples, captain of the U.S. side, put it all into perspective. "We know whos in charge," he said. CHICAGO -- The Chicago Cubs youthful energy is rubbing off on Alfonso Soriano. The 37-year-old outfielder hit two of the Cubs season high five home runs and Travis Wood earned his first win in nearly six weeks in Chicagos 7-2 victory over the Los Angeles Angels on Tuesday night. "We have so much talent in this clubhouse," Soriano said. "Its a long season and they have to believe in themselves because they have the talent." Anthony Rizzo, Starlin Castro and Darwin Barney also homered for Chicago in the interleague game, the Cubs fourth straight win. "Obviously a lot of power -- the Sori show continues," Cubs manager Dale Sveum said. "Barneys home run was huge and Castro put a great swing on that ball and hammered it as well." Its Soriano who seems rejuvenated while playing with so many youngsters. He is hitting .400 with eight home runs and 17 RBIs in his last 11 games. "Thirty-seven years old, to do what hes doing again, and carrying a ballclub at a time when we really needed it offensively with the way our guys have been pitching, is tremendous," Sveum said. "Its like hes a rookie out there." Wood (6-6) allowed four hits over 6 2-3 innings, with two walks and five strikeouts, to earn his first victory since May 30. Wood, who was named to the National League All-Star team, retired 14 straight Angels from the start of the second inning until allowing a two-out single in the sixth. He gave up Albert Pujols two-run homer in the seventh and left with two runners on and two out. "Its a very stout lineup," Wood said of the Angels. "Theyre pretty solid through and through. For us to go out there and have the game that we did is pretty outstanding." Joe Blanton (2-11) went five innings, giving up eight hits, including four homers, and six runs with three walks and three strikeouts. He leads the majors in losses. Rizzo and Soriano hit back-to-back home runs in the first inning with two outs, the second time this season theyve done it. Castro gave Chicago a 3-0 lead with his fifth homer in the third. Barneys fifth homer of the season came in the sixth after Dioner Navarro doubled and Nate Schierholtz was hit by a pitch. Blanton left trailing 6-0 after allowinng Barneys homer.dddddddddddd "I really didnt have good stuff tonight," Blanton said. "It was just one of those games. I tried to battle through, but I made too many mistakes over the plate. "The three-run (homer by Barney) hurts the worst. You can live through solos and battle around everything else. Three-run homers kill you, but honestly, all of them." Soriano hit his 387th career home run and 15th of the year in the seventh off Michael Kohn. "Im not going to tell you how were trying to get him out, but Soriano is a guy if you miss some spots and sometimes if youre hitting spots, he has the ability to hit a wide range of pitches hard like he did tonight," Angels manager Mike Scioscia said. Sorianos hot streak has coincided with the hottest days weather-wise this season. "When its warm, my body is loose and I feel my hands," he said. "I like when its hot." Pujols ended Woods bid for a shutout with his 14th homer of the year, a two-run shot in the seventh. The win left the Cubs 40-48. They havent been better in relation to .500 since May 31 when they were 23-30. NOTES: Sveum said right-hander Scott Baker could be back with the team in a month after an elbow injury put him on the DL. Baker had his fourth simulated game in a rehab stint Tuesday and the next step is pitching in actual games. ... Cubs outfielder Brian Bogusevic will likely be available without limitation for the series against St. Louis starting Thursday. Bogusevic pulled left hamstring Thursday. ... Starting catcher Welington Castillo, who missed Mondays game with the White Sox due to dehydration, was available Tuesday but manager Dale Sveum wanted to hold him out one more day as a precaution. ... After Tuesday, Pujols has 27 home runs against the Cubs at Wrigley Field, tying with Adam Dunn for most by an active opposing player. ... Scioscia said left-hander Jason Vargas should begin throwing by the end of this week. He went on the 15-day DL June 18 with a blood clot in his left armpit. ... The Cubs hadnt hit five home runs at Wrigley since Sept. 17, 2006. ... Cubs right-hander Jeff Samardzija (5-8, 3.54) opposes Angels left-hander C.J. Wilson (8-6, 3.49) in the final game of the series Wednesday.

Wayne Mardle says Raymond van Barneveld could find himself in a fight to avoid elimination from the Premier League. Having started with a 7-2 victory over Phil Taylor on opening night in Leeds, Barney has now won only one of his last five matches - and that was against a below-par Robert Thornton who could have snatched a point. MVG top after Nottingham Report from Night Six of the Premier League It all means that the Dutchman is down in eighth place and just one point clear of the relegation places ahead of his showdown with ninth-placed Dave Chisnall in Glasgow next week - after Chizzy, he faces Adrian Lewis and Michael van Gerwen. Barney somehow pulled himself out of relegation trouble last year to make the play-offs and Sky Sports expert Mardle believes if he is not careful, Van Barneveld could find himself in another battle ahead of Judgement Night in Cardiff on March 31.He is getting dragged in. Last year, he was really embroiled in an elimination dogfight, Mardle said. This year, because he has got Robert Thornton below him and Michael Smith who has played a game more, he may not be as much.But if he loses next week and results go against him, then he most definitely is. It doesnt take a lot to get dragged in.Barney was involved in the match of the night in Nottingham, showing plenty of spirit to fight back against Wade who had taken a 5-1 and 6-3 lead before eventually clinching the match.Mardle felt a slow start cost the Dutchman and despite his battling qualities, it was Wade who deserved the victory. James Wade saw off van Barneveld in Nottingham (picture courtesy of Lawrence Lustig) Raymond didnt hit the doubles in the early part of the match, thats why James pulled away, Mardle added.It was 5-1 at one point and it could easily have been three-all. Then Raymond started to get into it a bit - the 161 was a great shot, there was also a 118. It was quality from start to finish from the scoring aspect.I was pleased with the way James was playing. He was throwing with so much confidence. Playing quicker, throwing firmer and they were going in more direct. Premier League recap As it happened in Nottingham I think that at the very end, when he said I deserved to win, I think it was his confidence that got him over the line. I know it was Barney missing but after missing darts for a draw against Adrian Lewis, Wade will feel he has got that point back.Its what he deserves and I felt he was the best player in that match. Come the last leg, Barneys on 86 after nine darts - he should have won it but he didnt and thats the way it goes.

San Francisco beat Chicago 4-1 to win the 1989 NLCS. ... The Cubs won 103 games in the regular season, 16 more than San Francisco. ... The Giants took two of three meetings at home in May, then the Cubs won three of four at Wrigley Field in September. The final five games were all decided by one run. ... The Cubs have power arms on their staff and their 1,441 strikeouts in the regular season were the third-most in baseball. The Giants thrive on contact, striking out the second-fewest times but hitting the third-fewest homers. ... Bumgarner is 8-2 with a 2.25 ERA against the Cubs, including 7 2/3 innings to outduel Hendricks for a 1-0 win May 22. ... Cueto allowed one run in seven innings on Sept. 4 only to have Casilla blow a 2-1 lead in the ninth. Chicago won in 13 innings. ... Rizzo is 3 for 25 with 8 Ks against Cueto. ... Chapman is 1-0 with a 1.10 ERA and four saves with 27 Ks in 16 1/3 innings against the Giants. Posey is 5 for 10 with two doubles off Chapman, the most hits for any player against the Cubs closer. ... The top five hitters in San Franciscos lineup are a combined 9 for 71 with 21 Ks and only one extra-base hit off Arrieta. ... Lopez has held Heyward to one hit in 11 ABs with 5 Ks. ... Fowler is 0 for 10 with 6 Ks in his career against Romo. ... Samardzija pitched six-plus seasons for the Cubs before getting traded in 2014 to Oakland in a deal that brought Russell to Chicago.---Big Picture:Giants: After leading the majors with a 57-33 record at the All-Star break, San Francisco (87-75) stumbled to the finish and nearly missed out entirely on the postseason. The Giants ended the regular season with their first four-game winning streak of the second half to beat out St. Louis by one game for the second NL wild card. Now that San Francisco is in, manager Bruce Bochys team hopes to extend the even-year karma that led to World Series titles in 2010, `12 and `14. ... The Giants started these playoffs the same way they did two years ago, witth a road shutout by Bumgarner in the wild-card win.dddddddddddd The 3-0 victory over the Mets was San Franciscos ninth straight when facing postseason elimination. The Giants outscored the opposition 50-11 in those games. ... The Giants have won all 11 postseason rounds under Bochy, matching manager Joe Torre and the 1998-2001 New York Yankees for the longest streak in major league history. ... The bullpen was the biggest issue in the second half, with the team setting a franchise record by losing nine games it led after eight innings, including five in September. ... Posey hit just 3 HRs in his last 63 games but picked up his performance late with 12 RBI in the final nine games of the regular season. ... Pence, who missed 48 games with a hamstring injury, had a strong finish, batting .340 over his final 24 games. ... San Francisco committed a major league-low 72 errors, with Crawford playing mistake-free defense in his final 43 games at shortstop. ... Nunez has been out since Sept. 25 with a hamstring injury, so Gillaspie could get the nod again at third base. He hit a three-run homer off All-Star closer Jeurys Familia in the ninth inning of the wild-card game in New York after a strong final week during the regular season that helped carry San Francisco into the playoffs.Cubs: Is this the year the Cubs at long last win the World Series? Chicago (103-58) comes into the playoffs with the best record in the majors and a large, excited fan base waiting anxiously and hoping against hope that the first championship since 1908 is finally on the way. The Cubs began the year with soaring expectations coming off a run to the NL Championship Series and proceeded to dominate like no other team this year, jumping out to a 25-6 start on the way to a runaway title in the NL Central under second-year manager Joe Maddon. ... After winning NL Rookie of the Year last season, Bryant is a favorite for MVP along with Rizzo. Bryant joined Rogers Hornsby (1929), Hack Wilson (1930) and Derrek Lee (2005) as the only players in franchise history with at least 120 runs, 35 doubles, 39 homers and 100 RBI. ... Hendricks and Lester became the first teammates to run 1-2 in the majors in ERA since Houston pitchers Roger Clemens and Andy Pettitte in 2005. Both figure to get strong consideration for the NL Cy Young Award, which Arrieta won last year. ... Lester matched his career high for wins. ... Cubs pitchers led the majors with a 3.15 ERA. They gave up the fewest runs (556) and hits (1,125). ... On offense, Chicago was third in runs (808) and second in on-base percentage (.343).---Watch For:- MadBum. The Giants have baseballs biggest October star on their side in Bumgarner. He has thrown 23 straight scoreless innings in the postseason and is 6-1 with a 0.79 ERA and three shutouts in his last nine postseason outings. Hell be on regular rest in Game 3 and could be used in relief if the series goes five games as he was when he pitched five scoreless innings to save Game 7 of the 2014 World Series in Kansas City.- The Target. The Cubs won 97 games in a breakout season last year and eliminated Pittsburgh and St. Louis in the playoffs before getting swept by the Mets. Back then, the Cubs were the plucky upstart. Not this time. They showed up for spring training bolstered by the additions of Heyward, Zobrist and Lackey, and with a neat new slogan coined by Maddon: Embrace the Target. The phrase went on a T-shirt, and the Cubs could not have worn it any better during the regular season. They won the division by 17 1/2 games and finished with eight more wins than any other team. They had the depth and versatility to withstand injuries and the poise to pull out 14 wins in their final at-bat. But how well will they wear that target under immense pressure this postseason?- Closing Time. The bullpen that played such a key role in San Franciscos recent World Series championships melted down in the second half. Casilla tied for the most blown saves in the majors with nine and lost his job. After struggling to find a replacement, Bochy went to Romo, the closer during the 2012 title run. He successfully converted all four save opportunities in the final two weeks.

GLENDALE, Ariz. -- The Arizona Cardinals offense is supposed to be one of the best, if not THE best, in the NFL.But at the start of games especially, its been a pushover.This might not be a good week to change that because on Sunday they face the bruising defense of the Los Angeles Rams .Cardinals quarterback Carson Palmer said the Rams defense -- with the likes of Aaron Donald, Alec Ogletree and Robert Quinn -- is as good as it gets.These teams know each other well. The Rams won in Glendale last season and the Cardinals recognize theyre in for a rough afternoon. Los Angeles already has had two players ejected from games.We feel like these guys kind of challenge our manhood, Cardinals cornerback Patrick Peterson said. We take that personally.The Rams enter the game 2-1 and are coming off a 37-32 win at Tampa Bay.There was disappointment after Week 1 (a 28-0 loss to San Francisco), Los Angeles coach Jeff Fisher said, but we pulled them out of it. Thats what were most proud of right now. Theres no lack of confidence at all.The Cardinals are 1-2 and were blown out in Buffalo last Sunday 33-18. A 1/3 start would be devastating for a team that went 13-3 last season and expects to contend for the Super Bowl.Here are some things to consider when the Rams meet the Cardinals:CARDINALS CHALLENGE: Theres no way the Cardinals should overlook anyone now.Theres nobody that cant be beat and nobody that you cant beat, Arizona coach Bruce Arians said. Thats the way you have to look at every week.This is new territory for an Arizona team accustomed to success under Arians.We wont really know what kind of team we have until were facing some adversity, safety Tyron Mathieu said. Weve been challenged. In the past weve dealt with injuries, but I dont think we ever really dealt with just getting our butts whupped. Its a new set of adversities. Its a new challenge for us.GETTING OVER: The Rams are 2-1, but thats a big deal to a franchise that hasnt made the playoffs since 2004. Theyre off to their best start to a season since 2006, and they could also move to two games above .500 for the first time in a decade with a victory in Glendale.The Rams were eager to make a good impression on Los Angeles despite beginning their return season with just two home games in the first two months. So two NFC West victories in September would be significant.Ive never made the playoffs with the Rams, so it would be big to get off to a good start in the division, defensive lineman Eugene Sims said.OFFENSE IMPROVES: The Rams still have the NFLs least productive offense, but they finally scored their first touchdowns of the season last week in Tampa Bay, lessening the pressure on Fisher to play No. 1 pick QB Jared Goff immediately.Offensive coordinator Rob Boras sees steady progress from his unit and breakout potential for star running back Todd Gurley, who has been limited to 183 yards in three games. Gurley had the first big game of his Offensive Rookie of the Year season at Arizona last year, piling up 146 yards. Quarterback Case Keenum hasnt faced the vaunted Arizona defense since 2013 with Houston, watching both matchups last season as Nick Foles backup.FITZS HISTORY: Larry Fitzgerald has made big plays against just about every team in the league, but the eight-time Pro Bowl receiver has been especially hard on the Rams.In his 10 games against them, Fitzgerald 153 receptions for 1,785 yards and 16 touchdowns. Thats more receptions and TD catches than he has against any other team.KICKING CHANGE: The Arizona long snapper sent the ball sailing over the holders head, turning what would have been a chip-shot field goal into a Buffalo touchdown last Sunday. And the punters already-injured ankle worsened. So there will be a new snapper and punter for Arizona against the Rams.Rookie Kameron Canady, who had other shaky snaps in the first two games, was released Tuesday and replaced a day later by Aaron Brewer. Brewer was the snapper for Denver in all 64 regular-season games and eight postseason contests the past four seasons.With punter Drew Butler in a walking boot, Arizona signed Ryan Quigley, the punter for the New York Jets the past three seasons. Quigley also will take over Butlers holder duties.---AP sports writer Greg Beacham in Los Angeles contributed to this report.---AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP-NFL Babe Herman Jersey .Y. -- Buffalo Bills coach Doug Marrone has drawn on his Syracuse connections once again by hiring Rob Moore to take over as receivers coach.

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. -- New York Giants running back Rashad Jennings is unlikely to play on Monday night against the Minnesota Vikings, according to multiple sources.Jennings is dealing with a left thumb injury. Even though he was a limited participant in practice throughout the week, he was a surprise inactive Sunday against the Washington Redskins. Shane Vereen and Orleans Darkwa handled most of the running back snaps, but Vereen tore his triceps and was placed on injured reserve earlier this week.Darkwa and Bobby Rainey should split the heaviest workload in Minnesota. Rookie Paul Perkins could also enter the mix. Perkins was the Giants fifth-round draft pick this year out of UCLA.Jennings, 31, practiced last week with a small cast and padding on his left thumb and wrist. Coach Ben McAdoo said he had no problem with a running back who could only carry the ball in one hand.But the primary concerns with Jennings were his ability to catch the football and pass protect. The Giants didnt feel comfortable he could do either without limitations.dddddddddddd They decided their other options at running back were better than a limited Jennings.Darkwa and Vereen ran for 120 yards on 21 carries (5.7 YPC). They caught three passes for 37 yards and Rainey added a catch for 24 yards.Jennings is expected on the practice field again this week in a limited capacity. He is hoping to prove to the Giants that he can play.Absolutely. Im ready to practice hard, show were Im at and hopefully were ready to rock this week, he said.It appears to be a long shot.No matter which Giants running back is on the field, they could have trouble finding room to run against the Vikings. Minnesota is seventh in the NFL in stopping the run, allowing 84 rushing yards per game. The Giants are 19th in rushing offense at 99 yards per game.Jennings has 31 carries for 102 yards (3.3 YPC) in two games this season.

CINCINNATI, Ohio -- A medium-deep fly ball by Joey Votto wouldve done the trick. He did better than that. Votto hit a tiebreaking, two-run homer in the eighth inning, lifting the Cincinnati Reds over the Cleveland Indians 4-2 Monday in the opener of their intrastate matchup. "I just wanted to put the barrel on the ball and at least get a sacrifice fly," said Votto, who began the day leading the NL in hitting at .353. "It was important to not strike out there or roll over and put the ball on the ground." Votto won this interleague game with his ninth homer, tagging left-hander Nick Hagadone (0-1). The reliever was called up from Triple-A earlier in the day when closer Chris Perez was put on the disabled list with a sore right shoulder. Shin-Soo Choo led off the Reds eighth with a single and moved around on a passed ball and Zack Cozarts sacrifice bunt. With the Indians infield drawn in, Votto followed with an opposite-field shot into the seats in left, lifting the Reds to their sixth win in their last seven games. Vottos homer came with NL RBIs leader Brandon Phillips on deck, followed a conference on the mound. Reds manager Dusty Baker was asked if he was surprised first-year Cleveland manager Terry Francona pitched to Votto instead of perhaps walking him to face Phillips, whod already hit into one double play in the game. "I never second-guess the other teams manager," Baker said. "Youve got to take your shot at some point in the game. Votto won that time." The conversation dealt with how to approach Votto, Francona said. "Hagadone has great stuff," he said. "We wanted to pound Votto inside and not let him get his arms extended. Its part of the learning experience, but a pitcher also has to pitch to a comfort zone. If wed have walked him, it wouldnt have been the end of the world." Hagadone refused to blame his inexperience. "It was supposed to be a fastball away," he said. "Even if Id been up here all year, Id have been upset." Choo, traded from the Indians to the Reds in the off-season, also hit a leadoff homer in the first. Jason Giambi tied it in the Indians eighth with a long pinch-hit homer. The solo shot was estimated at 467 feet and caromed off the batters background in centre field. His ninth career pinch-hit homer ended his 0-for-24 slump and was third homer of the season and first since April 20. Jonathan Broxton (2-1) got two outs in the eighth. Aroldis Chapman pitched the ninth for his 13th save, clinching the Indians fourth consecutive loss and sixth in their last seven games. Reds starter Mike Leake allowed one earned run and five hits in 7 1-3 innings, striking out seven to match his season high. He left with a no-decision after giving up Giambis homer. "Even that pitch wasnt a bad pitch," Leake said. "He did a very good job with it. I thought I did a pretty good job today, as a whole. Thats a very good lineup. I was going after them, trying to make them hit my pitch." Leake had complete-game stuff, Votto said. "Its a shame Jason hit that ball," Votto said. "If it doesnt, maybe (Leake) finishes the game, but Jasons been around." Ubaldo Jimenez, 3-0 in five previous career starts against Cincinnati, gave up four hits and two runs in seven innings. Choo, sent to the Reds with infielder Jason Donald and cash for outfielder Drew Stubbs and infielder Didi Gregorius in December, led with his 10th homer of the season. The Indians took advantage of an error by Phillips, another former Indians player, to tie it in the fourth. Jason Kipnis singled and took third when Phillips mishandled Nick Swishers grounder. Carlos Santanas sacrifice fly made it 1-all. Cozart led off the sixth with a double that just nicked the outside of the left-field line, advanced on Vottos groundout to second and scored on Phillips sacrifice fly. NOTES: The Reds improved to 40-42 in their inter-league series with the Indians. ... The sellout crowd was the fourth straight for the Reds, the second time theyd had four consecutive sellout crowds since moving from Crosley Field in 1970 and the first time since 2004. ... Reds RHP Mat Latos (4-0) will try to stay undefeated in the second game of the brief two-game series on Tuesday. Hell be opposed by Cleveland RHP Zach McAllister (4-3). http://www.authenticshoptitans.com/derrick-henry-jersey/ . In the lead up - which seemed to begin the moment Mike Geiger blew the whistle in Houston last Thursday night - the Impact rumour mill went into overdrive.

LOUIS -- Theres no telling how these wacky World Series games will end. http://www.authenticshoptitans.com/logan-ryan-jersey/ .ca looks back at the stories and moments that made the year memorable. The latest Olympic hero for China is not even a gold medalist.Fu Yuanhui is popular for simply being herself -- unafraid to show her unfiltered, wacky facial expressions and candid words.Her smile lit up the deck as she took a victory lap with the bronze medal around her neck for her performance in the 100-meter backstroke. She didnt care that it wasnt gold, even if her country has long pushed athletes to get to the top of the podium.As if to prove the point, she thanked herself.I want to tell myself that ... your perseverance and efforts in the past have not been in vain, Fu said. Though I didnt win first place, I have already surpassed myself.Her candor -- paired with animated facial expressions -- is a rarity among Chinese elite athletes, who have spent so much time in the rigid state sport system that their vocabulary is often robotically limited by the state parlance that puts the countrys honor and national pride first.Just six years ago, a senior Chinese official chided short-track speedskater Zhou Yang for failing to thank the country first and only mentioning her parents after winning gold in the 1,500-meter event at the Vancouver Olympics.For decades, the Chinese public has been obsessed with Olympic gold medals but turned their nose up on anything less than the top spot on the podium. They even were downright cruel to athletes who failed to win gold and considered it a shame to come only second.The adoration piled upon Fu as her followers on social media swelled to nearly 5 million from 56,000 this week, the latest sign that China is moving away from the gold-medal mentality and starting to respect sportsmanship and athletes as individuals.The Chinese society has indeed changed. We still have the collective desire to remain first-class in the world, but we are respecting individual rights, opined the state-run newspaper Global Times -- known for its nationalistic stance -- on Fus soaring popularity..ddddddddddddAlthough Fu Yuanhui is an exception, it marks changes in the generation of younger athletes. The echoing applause by the Chinese public marks a shift in the societal awareness, wrote the editorial, suggesting that Chinas politics is partly to be blamed for the restraints and reservation often exhibited by Chinese athletes.Born in an average family in the prospering eastern Chinese city of Hangzhou, Fu began to swim at 5 when her parents hoped the water exercise could improve her health and alleviate her asthma, according to a 2015 Chinese media report. Her talent emerged, and the girl was recruited into the municipal swimming team. Considered a genius in the pool, Fu competed in London but came home empty-handed. Unabashed, she reportedly joked she had drunk enough of the foot-washing water of other swimmers.Fu apparently has not considered the Olympic gold a must in her swimming career, a departure from state athletes who are tasked with winning for the sake of the country.On her 20th birthday in January, she posted this on her social media account: I know for what I live. I know the kind of life I want. Its simple. Joy. Loving Heart. Gratitude.This is what I want. Being outstanding or not, it does not matter.Her parents also put no pressure on her.We set no goal for her, but whats important is to enjoy the process and to be happy, her father, Fu Chunsheng, told local media in 2013. But theres one principle that she should feel no regret when she looks back on this experience after 10 years.It doesnt look like she will. The swimmer claimed she used primordial force in Rio, and the term became an instant meme in Chinas social media. And her exaggerated expression of surprise in learning her speed has gone viral:Incredible. I am that fast? she said. I am very satisfied.

LONG POND, Pa. - Mario Andretti wants one more race, family style. At 73, Andretti has been long retired from racing, and one of open wheels all-time greats hasnt turned a competitive lap since a spectacular crash during practice for the 2003 Indianapolis 500. Andretti, though, hasnt completely put the idea of one final race out of his mind. Hes serious when he says he wants to team up with son, Michael, and grandson, Marco, for an endurance race like the Rolex 24 Hours of Daytona or 24 Hours of Le Mans. "Id do it," Mario Andretti said. "Theres no point in me coming back unless theres a compelling a reason." And theres no more compelling reason than family ties on the track. Dont start dreaming of the greatest comeback in motor sports just yet. Theres one big hitch. "Marco would do it. Michael doesnt want to do it," Mario said. "Hes much younger than I am and he says hes too old. You figure that out. But if I can convince Michael to do it, Ill do it. I would. I still have the competitive spirit, which is good." His grandfathers dream of an Andretti reunion seemed like fun for 26-year-old Marco, who posted fast practice times this week at Pocono Raceway. The third-generation driver said Mario would be "up to the task," of becoming a tag-team partner in the annual races. "He would start and finish and dad and I would do all the brunt work," Marco Andretti said. Told Michael had balked, Marco hardly seemed surprised. "I think dad doesnt love it like me and my grandfather," he said. "He was just very good and he knew he was good. But I think hes really happy and content where hes at and hes doing a heck of a job there, too, as an owner." Mario Andretti won the Indianapolis 500 in 1969 and went on to a long, brilliant career before he retired from IndyCar in 1994. He last got behind the wheel for a lap in 2003 when he tested a car for Michael at Indianapolis Motor Speedway. Andrettis car hit debris left when Kenny Bracks car hit the wall, sending his car flying through the air and flipping end over end. He walked away unhurt. "I figured, Im going to meet my creator. I didnt know which way I was going to go," he said. "But I was OK. It wasnt my fault. I was in my element. I was lucky as hell. I landed on the wheels and only got a scratch." But that was it for Andretti. Even though he won Indy and Michael has celebrated two 500 victories as an owner, the accident is just another part of the "Andretti Curse," that reigns at IMS. "They always have to talk about something," Mario said. "But weve had great times there, just tough times really finishing when we were dominating. Not only myself, Michael as well. Were we capable of winning multiple times? Damn right." Pocono, back on the IndyCar slate for the first time since 1989, is a hometown track for the Andrettis, who hail from nearby Nazareth. But Marios been commuting this week from his house near Lake Wallenpaupack, about an hour north of the track. Hes also keeping busy. Andretti voices a character in the upcoming movie "Turbo," the animated story of a snail with amazing speed who takes on the Indianapolis 500. While he no longer attends each race, he feels IndyCar can rival or top any series in the world when it comes to quality competition. Even if TV ratings and attendance can use a boost, the on-track product is as strong as ever. "Look at the quality of racing, just in the last two years," he said. "Its there. Its something you cant predict. When it happens, you just try to enjoy it. Its riveting." _____ Follow Dan Gelston at www.Twitter.com/APGelston D.J. Augustin Jersey .

This was like an NCAA Tournament week. It was awesome, VanDerveer said. Im really proud of how people worked and Im really excited for the good things that we did and well go right back to work and get ready for Gonzaga and clean up some of those rebounds, some of those turnovers.VanDerveer, the Hall of Fame coach beginning her 31st season at the school and 38th as a college coach, moved 18 victories away from joining the late Pat Summitt as the only womens coaches to reach 1,000 career wins.After the Longhorns cut Stanfords lead to 52-47 on Joyner Holmes layin with 3:10 left in the third quarter, McCall quickly answered on the other end and Alanna Smith scored the next time down as the Cardinal capitalized on Atkins turnover.Smith, a sophomore from Australia, had her family in the stands visiting. Her father, Darren, was asked during one timeout what insight he had for the team -- and his response was a good one.Get Brittany McPhee the ball, he said, smiling.Brooke McCarty, the leading returning scorer for Texas after she averaged 11.8 points last season, had 20 points and Ariel Atkins had 14.It was an eye opener today, McCarty said. We kind of have to take that and roll with it. We just got outplayed and we got beat.A junior guard with 11 career starts over her first two college seasons, McPhee is taking on a bigger role for VanDerveers young team. And Texas, which beat Stanford the past two seasons, didnt have an answer for her accuracy.The Longhorns ended the Cardinals 28-game home winning streak with an 87-81 overtime win at Maples Pavilion on Nov.dddddddddddd 20, 2014, when Stanford was ranked sixth and Texas No. 10 -- the programs first win over a top-10 team in almost six years. It marked the first meeting when both teams were in the top-10.That year, Stanford couldnt make it two in a row after beating No. 1 Connecticut 88-86 in overtime three nights earlier to snap the Huskies 47-game winning streak.Then Texas won again last season in Austin, 77-69.Stanford was too much this time.When you get beat sometimes all you do is talk about what your team wasnt good at but I would say that midway through the second quarter they really broke our defense down, Texas coach Karen Aston said. Were young and a little bit immature and I thought that we started panicking a little bit. We missed some free throws and our confidence got rattled a little bit at the end of the first half and we werent able to recover from that.BIG PICTURETexas: The Longhorns held a 38-32 rebounding edge but were just 6 for 14 at the free throw line. They lost a season opener for the first time under fifth-year coach Aston (4-1). ... Aston coached her 300th career game. She is now 190-110 starting her 10th season as a college coach and 89-47 in her fifth season leading the Longhorns. ... Texas started the season on the road for only the second time in the past 13 years.Stanford: McCall was one off her career high in blocks. She had three blocks in a season-opening win against Cal Poly on Friday and now has nine through two games. I love blocked shots, she said. ... The Cardinal are 15-4 at home against top-10 teams over the last 10-plus seasons and 139-7 at Maples since 2007-08.UP NEXTTexas: The Longhorns host Houston Baptist on Wednesday morning in their home opener, an 11 a.m. local time tipoff for the programs annual 40 Acres Field Trip game for middle-school students from around Texas and a day that includes educational activities.Stanford: The Cardinal have another tough opponent Friday at home against West Coast Conference power Gonzaga, winner of 11 of the last 12 WCC regular-season titles and picked to do so again.

ARLINGTON, Texas -- It has taken two starts for Texas left-hander Derek Holland to show hes back to pitching like the Texas Rangers hoped he would when the season started.Holland (6-6), who missed two months of the season with left shoulder inflammation, wants to continue that trend Saturday when he starts a pivotal game against Houston. Unlike the Rangers, who have been set with their rotation, the Astros didnt announce their starter for Saturday until Friday afternoon.Houstons decision to push left-hander Dallas Keuchel back out of the series because of fatigue means rookie right-hander Joe Musgrove (2-2) will get the start opposite Holland.The Astros would love for Musgrove to have a Holland-like impact as Friday nights 10-8 loss to the Rangers dropped Houston 9 1/2 games behind Texas. In his two stars since returning from the disabled list, Holland has been consistently good. In each start, he has pitched six innings and allowed one run.About the only person not making too much about his recent starts is Holland.Im just going to stay focused on who I am, Holland said. Im not going to let two starts dictate anything. Its definitely great to see, and Ive been working my butt off for this, but at the same time I want to continue to focus on whats ahead.Whats ahead could be another start in which Holland throws his fastball in the low 90s, which is down from where he was a couple of years ago. But Holland is learning to pitch with what he has, which is something he picked up from Hall of Famer Greg Maddux.Maddux was a special assistant with the Rangers last year and won more than 300 games without overpowering hitters.Thats one thing he (Maddux) used to talk about, said Holland, who is 4-2 with a 4.31 ERA in 11 career starts vs. the Astros. Its not necessarily how hard you throw, but how you locate. Everything is working outstanding. Nothing is taking the same path, including my off-speed. We throw the same exact curveball the next pitch and it does not go the same route the other one did.Musgrove is capable of matching Holland. His first big-league start came against the Rangers and he dazzled, allowing one run in seven innings and striking out six. Hes coming off another solid outing in his last start, as he picked up his second win on Monday. He didnt allow a run in 5 1/3 innings against Oakland and struck out seven.With Houston clinging to faint American League West hopes against first-place Texas and the rotation in flux because of Keuchel, that puts a lot of pressure on Musgrove to perform.Manager A.J. Hinch has confidence that his young rotation is up to the challenge and knows they cant rely on Keuchel to carry the load.Ive got four other guys we have to prepare to pitch and having this anxiousness or this curiosity everyday as to whether Keuchel was going to get back into the rotation doesnt do these guys any favors, Hinch said. They need to be ready to pitch and map out their bullpen schedules and their routines. Cheap Nike Running Shoes Online . Louis Cardinals.

PARADISE ISLAND, Bahamas -- VCU coach Will Wade got the response he wanted to a loss.Jonathan Williams scored a career-high 22 points and hit the go-ahead layup with 3:59 left to help the Rams hold off St. Johns 75-69 on Thursday night in Battle 4 Atlantis consolation bracket.JeQuan Lewis added 15 points for the Rams (4-1), who had lost 71-63 to No. 20 Baylor in Wednesdays tournament opener. VCU led by eight late in the first half and was tied with about 8 minutes left in that one.Wed been preparing for that for a while -- we put a ton into that game, Wade said. It was a little bit of a gut-punch when we had the lead in the second half and couldnt close it out. So Im really proud of the way our guys responded.Williams, a junior from Richmond, Virginia, came into the tournament averaging 7.3 points but hit 8 of 15 shots and 6 of 7 free throws to go with six assists with one turnover in 34 minutes.We all came together as a team and was like, `The most energized team is going to win, Williams said.Williams drive gave VCU a 67-65 lead, then Lewis had a driving score of his own. Lewis and Mo Alie-Cox went 4 for 4 at the foul line in the last 13 seconds to help seal the win on a night when both teams blew double-digit leads -- St. Johns by 13 in the first half, VCU by 11 with about 14 minutes left.Shamorie Ponds scored 18 points to lead the Red Storm (2-3), who made their first eight shots in the game but shot just 28 percent (8 of 29) after halftime. The Red Storm had lost to No. 24 Michigan State in its Atlantis opener after leading early in the second half of that one.I think we played a good game but didnt finish it off, Red Storm coach Chris Mullin said. We probably pplayed 25-30 good minutes last game, probably about 30 tonight.ddddddddddddWeve got to get it to 40 minutes.BIG PICTUREVCU: The Rams can at least feel good that they came up with the key plays in the final 4 minutes of a tie game, a good sign for a team that couldnt quite figure out how to stay in front of No. 20 Baylor in its Atlantis opener Wednesday.St. Johns: Other than that game-opening burst, the Red Storm struggled with their shooting again. They shot just 31 percent against No. 24 Michigan State then followed that by finishing at 41 percent Thursday.Weve basically played our fifth game together, so some of that takes time, Mullin said. Weve just got to keep working at it and break through it. ... Weve got to keep working and understand we are getting better, were getting closer.TIP-INSVCU: Alie-Cox scored 15 points...

HOUSTON -- Lance McCullers left with right elbow discomfort, and the Houston Astros offense continued to sputter.McCullers will be examined Wednesday after pitching 4 2/3 innings Tuesday night in a 2-1 loss to the Toronto Blue Jays.McCullers (6-5) allowed two runs and seven hits with six strikeouts.We dont really know, McCullers said about the injury. Were just going to follow protocol and take it step by step and see where we are tomorrow. I felt a little discomfort, and out of precaution, I just had to get out of there.Joe Musgrove replaced McCullers and struck out eight in 4 1/3 scoreless innings, tying a major league record for strikeouts by a reliever in his big league debut set by Barry Jones with Pittsburgh in 1986.I pitch to contact so I tried to get ahead as best I could, Musgrove said. Two-strike situations presented themselves a lot more tonight than usual, but with a defense like this behind me, it was easy to just trust the guys behind you and let them work. I just tried to throw the ball in the zone, let them put it in play and let our guys do the rest.R.A. Dickey threw seven solid innings and Jose Bautista and Edwin Encarnacion homered for Toronto.Houston has scored two runs or fewer in four straight games for a total of five runs.We havent been able to muster hits together, Hinch said. Concern? No, I believe in our guys and love our guys. Obviously, we havent been able to get the motor started for a few games now, but weve run into some good pitching and had some missed opportunities.Bautista hit his 300th career homer in the third to put Toronto up 1-0.Encarnacion launched his 29th home run to lead off the fourth -- a monstrous shot that bounced off the railroad tracks at Minute Maid Park before landing in left field.I made two mistakes and paid for both of them with home runs, McCullers said. But I felt really good tonight. I thought it was going to be a good night.Dickey (8-12) allowed one run on six hits with five strikeouts. He had allowed 18 runs -- 17 earned -- over his last three starts, all losses.We have been in an offensive lull for a few games now, Hinch said. Obviously, Dickey had his good knuckleball going tonight, and his ball was moving all over the place.Danny Barnes pitched the eighth before Jason Grilli pitched the ninth for his second save with Toronto and his fourth overall.Evan Gattis cut the lead to 2-1 with an RBI single in the seventh. Jose Altuve had three hits for Houston.TRAINERS ROOMAstros: RHP Luke Gregerson was placed on the 15-day disabled list retroactive to July 28 with a left oblique strain. The Astros recalled IF A.J. Reed from Triple-A Fresno. ... OF Carlos Gomez (right hamstring) was back in the lineup Tuesday after missing the last four games. He went 1 for 4.ROSTER MOVESAstros: Houston will recall RHP James Hoyt from Triple-A Fresno on Wednesday, and RHP Doug Fister will go on the three-day paternity list.UP NEXTBlue Jays: RHP Marco Estrada (6-4) will look for his second straight win Wednesday in the third of four games against the Astros. Estrada allowed four runs in his last outing Friday against Baltimore, the most runs he had allowed since May 14 when he was tagged for five runs.Astros: RHP Collin McHugh (7-7) will look to rebound after being tagged for eight runs on 10 hits in 1 2/3 innings Friday at Detroit.

Djiboutis Ayanleh Souleiman set a world indoor record for the 1,000 metres on Wednesday at the IAAF World Indoor Tour meet in Stockholm. Souleiman, the world indoor 1,500-metre champion, clocked two minutes, 14 seconds, 20 hundredths of a second.The previous record of 2:14.96 had been set by Denmarks Wilson Kipketer in 2000. Souleimans time still needs to be ratified by the ruling IAAF. Further record attempts were scheduled later on Wednesday, with Genzebe Dibaba of Ethiopia aiming for the indoor mile record and Qatars Abdalelah Haroun going for the world indoor best in the 500 metres.

PHOENIX -- Arizona looks to avenge a series loss when it hosts Milwaukee and Chase Field fan favorite Craig Counsell in a weekend series.To do so, the Diamondbacks will have to play better than they did in their previous series this week, when they were outscored 32-8 and outhit 48-20 while being swept by National League East leader Washington. It did not help that they faced Washingtons top three starters -- Stephen Strasburg, Tanner Roark and Max Scherzer.The Brewers took three of four when the teams met at Miller Park 10 days ago.Arizona starts rookie Braden Shipley (1-1) against former Diamondback Chase Anderson (6-10), a rematch of the starting pitchers in the Brewers 7-2 victory in the first game of the series in Milwaukee on July 25.Shipley gave up six runs in 5 1/3 innings of that game in his major league debut, but rebounded with six scoreless innings in a 4-2 victory at the Los Angeles Dodgers on Saturday.Shipley gave up five hits, struck out four and walked one in his second start -- the last game the Diamondbacks have won. They have lost four in a row, 12 of 15 and 19 of 25 since July 3.Milwaukee has won seven of 10, starting with the Arizona series.The Diamondbacks have a 5.11 team ERA -- 29th in the majors -- and the loss of right-hander Zack Greinke for five weeks with an oblique strain has not helped.Arizona has 41 quality starts. Only Milwaukee (40) has fewer.Following an 8-3 loss to Washington on Wednesday, Manager Chip Hale was asked if the pitching simply was not good enough.I dont want to say that, because I think if we execute the pitches ... the guys that are throwing the pitches are good enough, they just need to execute better, Hale said.Locate better, pitch selection better, which the catchers and the pitchers are both responsible. I hate to make a blankett statement.dddddddddddd I think the guys throwing the pitches when were struggling are good enough to get people out, we just need to keep working with them to make them better.Arizona third baseman Jake Lamb and outfielder Yasmany Tomas had homers in the final two games of the Washington series, giving Lamb 23 for the season and Tomas 19.Tomas was 6-for-14 with two homers, two doubles and eight RBI in the four games in Milwaukee, and has six homers in his last 11 games.The Brewers Hernan Perez recorded a homer, two RBI and three stolen bases in the Arizona series. He is hitting .400 with three homers, eight RBI and five stolen bases in his last eight games.Both teams will have a little different look this time around. Arizona traded setup man Tyler Clippard on Saturday, and the Brewers dealt catcher Jonathan Lucroy, lefty specialist Will Smith and closer Jarred Jeffress at the Monday trade deadline.The Brewers most acclaimed addition was shortstop Orlando Arcia, who was promoted from Triple-A Colorado Springs. Arcia made his major league debut Tuesday, and is 0-for-6 in two games at San Diego. Arcia was Baseball Americas No. 8 overall prospect entering the season.With Arcias addition, Brewers manager Counsell has played major league stolen base leader Jonathan Villar (40) at third base and put the versatile Perez in right field. Counsell was a member of the Diamondbacks 2001 World Series winner.I know a lot of people are excited, and its an exciting day, Counsell told the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel about Arcias promotion.Hes an important player. Now we get to watch him grow every day. We get to watch him struggle, and then grow from it. Which is fun.

LEXINGTON, Ky. -- Fresh off its 87-64 season-opening victory over Stephen F. Austin on Friday, Kentucky returns to action just two days later when Canisius visits Rupp Arena.Coach John Calipari is excited for Sundays game because he anticipates a completely different test than the one presented by Stephen F. Austin first-year coach Kyle Keller.I dont think Canisius will play that type of man-to-man, which makes you play a little different, Calipari said. That team denies wings. Kyle has them denying passes, denying wings, which could lead to turnovers.What they do is they disrupt your offense, they take you out of what you want to do and make you play one-on-one. The issue is were pretty good at playing one-on-one, Calipari said. Canisius, I dont know. But Im glad they played us some zone. We got the ball right where we wanted it, we didnt make the plays, but well watch the tape and show them what was there.Canisius was only 14-19 last season, its 12th losing season since the turn of the century. The Griffins have not won an MAAC regular season title since 1994, and its last trip to the NCAA Tournament came in 1996.The Griffins are led by Phil Valenti, the top returner in points (14.6), rebounds (6.1) and assists (2.1). The 6-foot-7, 200-pound senior started all 33 games last year. He topped double figures scoring 24 times, including a career-best 33 in a MAAC Tournament win over Niagara. Valenti needs 122 points this year to top 1,000 for his career.Canisius also returns 6-3 junior guard Kassius Robertson, who also started all 33 games. He averaged 14.1 points per game while attempting the most field goals at 213. Next closest was 127.Kentucky will be coming into the game after beating Stephen F. Austin by 23 points. It was a debut in which the Wildcats put five players into double figures -- Isaiah Briscoe, 17; Derek Willis, 15; DeAaron Fox, 12; Malik Monk and Wenyen Gabriel, 10.What I like is five guys in double figures and the other two with nine and eight. That is how we play here, Calipari said. Now you say, well, theyre all McDonalds All-Americans, they scored 30 points a game in high school. Yeah, youre not playing that way here.When Kentucky takes the court on Sunday, Calipari will be looking for continued improvement of a simple game plan.I dont want to put any more in right now, Calipari said. Lets just get good at what we are. We only have a few things, you saw us, Im not out there running 17 different offenses, were just not ready for that. Im more concerned about defense and rebounding and blocking shots.One word of caution for Kentucky: Beat Canisius in regulation. The Golden Griffins outscored opponents last year 21-4 during the third overtime period.Kentuckys game with Canisius will be the final tune-up before a nationally televised battle on Wednesday against Michigan State in the Champions Classic at Madison Square Garden in New York.Michigan State just lost. So what were going to be playing a mean dog up in New York, Calipari said. So these three games to start off the year when were a bunch of freshmen, its going to be a rough go. Karl Klug Jersey . Speaking to the Chicago Tribune at baseballs Winter Meetings in Lake Buena Vista, Florida, Boras called the former home of the Expos a "tremendous environment" for baseball.

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. Erik Walden Jersey . - After leading the Saints to a fourth playoff appearance in five seasons, Drew Brees expressed confidence in the direction of his team and, perhaps more importantly, showed a willingness to listen to contract proposals if the team needs his help getting under the NFLs salary cap. TALLAHASSEE, Fla. -- Florida State was happy to play at home after two weeks on the road.The eighth-ranked Seminoles scored the first 10 points and cruised to a 90-41 victory over Western Carolina on Sunday.Its always important to get out to a fast start. It allows the depth of our team to be exceptional, Florida State coach Sue Semrau said after her team won its seventh straight. When you jump out it gives you more confidence.The Seminoles (8-1) led 52-12 at halftime and would lead by as many as 52 points midway through the third quarter.In the Seminoles first nine games they are averaging 44.3 points in the first half and shooting 50.5 percent from the field while holding opponents to an average of 26.6 points.FSU had another balanced attack with four players in double figures. Shakayla Thomas led the way with 18 points and also grabbed six rebounds.It is the fifth time this season the junior forward, who was last seasons Atlantic Coast Conference sixth player of the year, has led the team in scoring.Im more consistent. Defensively I am more aware of different things. I feel like I can guard any position and thats a big step from where I was, Thomas said.Leticia Romero scored 16 points while Ivey Slaughter added 14 and Chatrice White 10.Lauren LaPlant and Hatfield each had 12 points for the Catamounts (3-7), who shot 26 percent from the field.We came out and werent as fired up as we liked to be but we were outmatched to begin with. In the second half they fought back and did the things we wanted them to, Western Carolina coach Stephanie McCormick said.ddddddddddddBIG PICTUREWestern Carolina: This was the Catamounts second game in Tallahassee in three days. They got the win over Florida A&M in overtime on Friday night but were no match for the Seminoles. Junior forward Sherae Bonner, who leads the nation in total rebounds with 107, was held to a season-low of two.Florida State: The only thing the Seminoles struggled at was from the free throw line, where they were 17 of 26 (65.4 percent). FSU came into the game ranked fifth in the ACC in free-throw percentage and are shooting 70.4 percent from the line. This is one area it has to improve before the start of conference play later this month.STAT OF THE NIGHTFSU has won by an average of 31.7 points during its winning streak. It has held a lead of 21 points or more in six of the last seven games.LETDOWNFlorida States Imani Wright, who came into the game second on the team in scoring at 13.3 points per game, did not score in 17 minutes played. The junior guard missed all four shots from the field.UP NEXTWestern Carolina: The Catamounts finish a three-game road trip with a Thursday morning game at Radford.Florida State: The Seminoles host No. 19 Florida on Thursday.

Reggie Wayne Jersey .ca looks back at the stories and moments that made the year memorable. Ryan Kelly Jersey . -- Golden State Warriors coach Mark Jackson asked his players a simple question during Fridays morning shootaround: How many of them had ever been on a team 14 games over . http://www.coltsfansshop.com/Colts-Matt-Slauson-Draft-Jersey/ . -- James Young couldnt wait to apply those tweaks to his jump shot, and the first one he made against UT Arlington told him it could be a good night. Andrew Luck Jersey . In taking its goal tally to 99 in all competitions already this season, City delivered another demonstration of its lethal firepower at Etihad Stadium to set up a fourth-round match at home to another second-tier team -- Watford. Quincy Wilson Jersey . The 17-year-old native of Marystown, N.L., pulled out of Skate Canada International last month in Saint John, N.B., with the same problem. ARLINGTON, Texas -- Joe Flacco didnt care that Baltimore was playing the team with the NFLs best record, and John Harbaugh didnt seem to either.The quarterback and the coach believe the Ravens are up there with any opponent despite Sundays 27-17 loss to the Dallas Cowboys that dropped them back to .500 -- but still tied for first with Pittsburgh in the AFC North.Oh, and Baltimore (5-5) has a win over the Steelers.Were definitely good enough to win any game we play in the National Football League, Harbaugh said. Our eyes go to next week against Cincinnati at home. Six-game season and we need to take care of our business, and part of thats improving.The Ravens forced punts on the first four Dallas possessions -- a first against the Cowboys this season -- and held NFL rushing leader Ezekiel Elliott to 26 yards in the first half.But Dallas had scoring drives of 92 and 88 yards to start the second half, breaking a 10-10 tie. And the Ravens couldnt stop the Cowboys after Flaccos scoring pass to Steve Smith got them within a touchdown in the fourth quarter.Five straight scoring drives is impressive, Baltimore safety Eric Weddle said. Its the little things that count when both teams are good.Dallas rookie Dak Prescott threw three touchdown passes, two to Dez Bryant , in his first game with Tony Romo as the backup. The Cowboys (9-1) have a franchise regular-season record with nine straight wins, topping the 1977 team that started 8-0 and won the Super Bowl.I am going to continue to stay away from it, said ever-optimistic Dallas owner Jerry Jones, whos been known to engage in Super Bowl talk in the past. I can hang my hat on this little thing called nine wins in a row.Things to consider after the Ravens lost to the Cowboys for the first time, a span covering five games:SMITHS MILESTONE: The 16th-year receiver can move on to trying to reach the postseason for the sixth time in his career after becoming the 14th player with 1,000 catches . He caught eight for a game-high 99 yards, including the 5-yard score and a toe-tapping gem for No. 999.Bittersweet, I guess, he said. Id give all that back to win, to be honest.THE ROMO FACTOR: The 36-year-old who brooke a bone in his back in a preseason game was active for the first time since last Thanksgiving, and was the backup for the first time in 10 years.dddddddddddd Now that those milestones are cleared, the Cowboys press onward with Prescott, who is second to Ben Roethlisberger (13 in 2004) for consecutive wins by a rookie quarterback.There are distractions in life, coach Jason Garrett said. The people who are the best at what they do are able to focus on the task at hand.BLOCKING CAROUSEL: The Ravens protected Flacco well (one sack) and averaged 6.3 yards per carry in limited chances in the running game. Marshal Yanda switched from right guard to left guard with Alex Smith out with a high ankle sprain.Clearly, if you look at the game, we can play with them toe to toe, said center Jeremy Zuttah, the only lineman to play the same position all 10 games. We just have to clean up some stupid stuff.STEADY ELLIOTT: Elliott is proving to be reliable along with explosive , even against the NFLs top rushing defense. He persevered to finish with 97 yards on 25 carries, a 3.9-yard average. He has at least 92 yards in eight straight games, and broke Tony Dorsetts club rookie rushing record of 1,007 yards from the Super Bowl season in 1977.Its one more step to where we want to be, said Elliott, who has 1,102 yards. One step more to greatness.DAK AND DAN AND RUSSELL: Prescott joined Dan Marino and Russell Wilson as the only rookie quarterbacks since 1970 to have multiple touchdown passes in five consecutive games.UP NEXT:Ravens: They have a key NFC North matchup with the Bengals in the first of consecutive home games. Surging Miami follows.Cowboys: Dallas annual Thanksgiving game features the most traditional of opponents, the Redskins. The Cowboys will have a chance for a big cushion over Washington and Philadelphia in the NFC East, with the Giants hanging closer in second place.---For more NFL coverage: http://www.pro32.ap.org and http://www.twitter.com/AP-NFL---Follow Schuyler Dixon on Twitter at https://twitter.com/apschuyler Wholesale Hoodies NFL Shirts Outlet Jerseys NFL Wholesale Cheap NFL Jerseys Free Shipping Wholesale Jerseys Cheap Cheap NFL Jerseys China Wholesale Jerseys Wholesale NFL Jerseys Cheap NFL Jerseys China Cheap NFL Jerseys ' ' '
