Backed by solo home runs from Pablo Sandoval, Brandon Belt and Marco Scutaro, Lincecum looked in his best form so far in 2013 as the San Francisco Giants beat the Atlanta Braves 5-1 on Sunday to wrap up an impressive homestand. Lincecum (3-2) struck out seven in seven scoreless innings to end a three-start winless stretch in which he went 0-2. The two-time NL Cy Young Award winner also stopped a four-start skid against Atlanta, beating the Braves for the first time since April 11, 2010. "Ill take it," Lincecum said. "But Im not jumping up in the air right now. ... Im happy about it, but its still a work in progress. Im still working to get better." Belt hit a solo homer in the second, Sandoval connected in the third and Scutaro went deep leading off the fifth. Gregor Blanco had an RBI double. Brandon Crawford added an RBI single in the fourth for the Giants, who concluded a 7-3 homestand. San Francisco won a home series against the NL East for the first time since April last year. Sandovals two-out drive in the third cleared the elevated right-field arcade and found the water in McCovey Cove, setting off a kayaking commotion in a frenzy to retrieve the souvenir ball. "Any time Pablos got a smile on his face its hard for the whole team not to jump on that energy and feed off it," Lincecum said. It was the 63rd splash homer by the Giants -- home run king Barry Bonds has 35 -- seventh by Kung Fu Panda and second for San Francisco this year. There have been 89 in the 14-season history of AT&T Park, including one by the Braves Brian McCann on Friday night. "My wife asked me to hit a home run into the water for her for Mothers Day," Braves starter Kris Medlen joked. "I must have misunderstood her, and gave up a home run that went into the water." In just his third quality start in eight outings, Lincecum allowed a season-low two hits after being tagged for 19 over his previous two appearances. Giants closer Sergio Romo, San Franciscos fourth reliever, allowed an RBI double to pinch-hitter Evan Gattis for Atlantas lone run. Lincecum said he chatted with the other starters after his last outing about getting back on track collectively as a rotation. "Its just kind of one of those things, we kick each other in tthe (rear end)," he said after a 111-pitch performance.dddddddddddd "Its just, here we go, this is the start of something hopefully good." The NL West-leading Giants make a quick, two-game stop starting Tuesday in Toronto, where former San Francisco outfielder Melky Cabrera will receive his World Series ring for contributions last season before his 50-game suspension for a positive testosterone test. San Francisco then heads to Coors Field in Denver for four games against the Rockies. "Its not going to be easy travel for these guys," manager Bruce Bochy said. "We get into Colorado late, but thats part of the schedule." Braves manager Fredi Gonzalez rejoined his team after two days away to attend his daughter Gigis college graduation in Georgia. But Atlanta lost its third straight since taking the opener Thursday night -- outscored 23-4 over the final three games. "We havent been real fun to watch right now," Gonzalez said. "What did we score, four runs the past couple games? They have a good club and any time we made a mistake they took advantage. We didnt get much of anything going until the end when we scored a run." The Braves continue their 10-game trip at Arizona, where left fielder Justin Upton will face his former Diamondbacks teammates. Medlen (1-5) lost his fourth straight decision and saw his winless stretch reach six outings since his lone victory his first time out this year, April 4 against the Phillies. The right-hander allowed five runs, three earned, walked a season-high five and struck out one in 5 1-3 innings. Umpires went to a replay review after Scutaros fly ball in the sixth was interfered with by a fan, preventing a possible catch by Upton. It was ruled a double, giving Scutaro six straight multihit games during his 12-game hitting streak. NOTES: Lincecum went seven or more innings allowing two or fewer hits for the first time since Aug. 13, 2011, at the Marlins. "It looked nasty from my perspective," Belt said. ... Bochy on all the pink bats, sleeves, cleats and wristbands for breast cancer awareness on Mothers Day: "Its a great day for all of us to have a chance to honour our mothers, and really for me to reflect back and realize how blessed I was to have such a great mother, not just in raising me but she was a big part of my baseball life, with my father being in the service," he said. His mother, Melrose, died in March 2007. ... Bochy hadnt decided on his designated hitter for the two games against the Blue Jays. ' ' '

Matthew Fitzpatrick of England nailed down the ninth and final automatic spot for Europe in the Ryder Cup on Sunday.Fitzpatrick finished fifth in the Czech Masters, giving him enough world points that no one can catch him when European qualifying ends next week in Denmark.Thomas Pieters of Belgium, who finished fourth last week at the Olympics, could have earned a spot by winning the Czech Masters and in Denmark. But he finished one shot behind Paul Peterson, who birdied the last hole Sunday for his first European Tour victory.That gives Darren Clarke one extra week to start contemplating his captains picks.Europe takes four players from a European Tour money list, followed by five from a list of world ranking points.Rory McIlroy, Masters champion Danny Willett, British Open champion Henrik Stenson and Chris Wood earned spots through the money list. Making the team through the world points were Sergio Garcia, Olympic gold medalist Justin Rose, Rafa Cabrera Bello, Andy Sullivan and Fitzpatrick.Europe already has five Ryder Cup rookies -- Willett, Wood, Cabrera Bello, Sullivan and Fitzpatrick. Clarke likely will look for experience in players such as Martin Kaymer and Lee Westwood.Clarke is scheduled to announce his three picks on Aug. 29 after the Denmark event. Among those who Clarke might consider are Pieters and Russell Knox.After his fourth-place finish in Rio, Pieters flew back to Europe and nearly defended his title in the Czech Masters.Knox, who has played exclusively in America since leaving Scotland to attend college in Jacksonville, Florida, did not join the European Tour until after he won a World Golf Championship at the HSBC Champions in Shanghai. Those 66 world points did not count in the standings; otherwise, Knox would be leading the world points list and be on the team. He won his second PGA Tour event earlier this month at the Travelers Championship.He is No. 19 in the world and No. 4 in the FedEx Cup on the PGA Tour. The Barclays next week, one of the strongest fields of the year, does not count toward the European world points list.Also high in the standings for Europe are Soren Kjeldsen of Denmark and Tyrrell Hatton of England.

Pollock Jersey . -- Running backs Darren McFadden and Rashad Jennings were back at practice for the Oakland Raiders on Wednesday despite being hampered by hamstring injuries. Dodgers Jerseys China .B. -- The Baie-Comeau Drakkar took over sole possession of first place atop the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League on Thursday with their sixth straight win.Real Madrid are in a mess and manager Zinedine Zidane must start planning for next season, according to Terry Gibson. The Galacticos were beaten at the Bernabeu by Atletico in the Madrid derby on Saturday afternoon, with Antoine Griezmanns second-half strike sealing a win for the visitors.Speaking to the La Liga Weekly podcast, the Sky Sports Spanish football expert was critical of Reals recent performances and praised the way Diego Simeones side executed their game-plan. To be 12 points behind in the league at this stage signifies that we are currently seeing a Real Madrid team that are a real mess at the moment - and thats the opinion throughout the Spanish press. Of course, we know where that starts and it starts from the top, Gibson said.There are a lot of issues to be sorted out for Real Madrid, not just to be competitive because they should be challenging for the Champions League.Were jumping the gun a bit there because they could still win it and while I dont think they are good enough this season, worse teams than Real Madrid have won the Champions League so theyve still got a chance.But there was a game plan from Atletico on Saturday and there wasnt one from Real Madrid. Simeone summed it up afterwards by saying we won by playing like Atletico Madrid. Antoine Griezmann scored the only goal as Atletico Madrid ran out 1-0 winners over their city rivals Real Madrid at the Santiago Bernabeu There where clever bits when they knew to drop off and allow Real Madrid possession, knowing when to press high and they knew they had to stop Luca Modric. They also came up with the idea of playing Griezmann in the line between midfield and attack, with Fernando Torres leading the attack. From Real Madrids perspective, they failed to pick up Griezmann and they didnt get Modric involved in the game. There was a lot of shuffling the ball about from player A to player B at too slow of aa tempo and it played into the hands of their opponents.ddddddddddddAtletico made history with their derby victory - becoming the first side in La Liga to win three consecutive games at the Bernabeu - and Gibson believes the experience of the respective managers had an impact.It was almost the master against the apprentice. A top manager who has 11 years under his belt - and some really successful ones - who knows his trade against a manager whos in his ninth game. That was quite clear to see. Weve said it all season that we arent going to see what Zidane is made of until he can put his stamp on the team and theres going to be a whole load of questions that come with that. Ronaldo hasnt been good enough Guillem Balague gives his thoughts on the weekends La Liga action in his latest column At the moment, its a question of Zidane learning his trade as quickly as he can in difficult circumstances and in the glare of the spotlight. The criticism has been savage on the players and Florentino Perez, but Zidane has mostly escaped that.In the past, it was Rafa Benitez but now the supporters and the press are firmly on the case of players like James Rodriguez, Isco and Toni Kroos.The Sky Sports expert added Zidane has a responsibility to start planning for next season with the players he has - and identify the ones who could be sold.The bulk of the squad is there to start planning for next season and I think it is his responsibility. Im estimating that we might see half a dozen big signings but four or five starting regularly, Gibson said. Real Madrid manager Zinedine Zidane needs to start preparing his side for next season says, says Gibson If youre working on that basis then we might see three to five new players starting for Real Madrid next year, I think Zidane has got enough to work with this season in the La Liga games that are left to try the style of play and formation he wants.If that means leaving out players who he thinks are going to be moved on, then thats a clear indication to the player that its probably in their best interests to start looking elsewhere. There arent going to be too many of these players who are going to want to leave Real Madrid, so its going to have to be Zidanes decision.

NAPA, Calif. -- Second-round pick Menelik Watsons first practice of training camp lasted less than 30 minutes Wednesday before the Oakland Raiders offensive lineman left the field after re-injuring a calf muscle in his left leg. Watson, the 42nd overall pick and projected backup to right tackle Khalif Barnes, had been on the non-football injury list since the beginning of camp after injuring his calf in mid-July. The 6-foot-5, 315-pound tackle jogged out to practice and took part in two offensive linemen drills before aggravating his injury. Watson angrily walked off the field with head trainer H.Rod Martin, punched a wooden bench near the teams weight room and let out a scream before going into the locker room. A few minutes later Watson sat on the ground in the shade just outside a door of the locker room, his head down in obvious disappointment. "This is not the way I planned on my first training camp, Ive not even took a snap yet," Watson said. "Its very frustrating, especially after the spring, making good strides in the spring. I wanted to get out there and get on the field." Watson insisted he had not hurried back after missing the first 10 practices. "I was aware of the situation and that I had to be careful," Watson said. "I talked about it with the training staff, that we were going to take it slow. You get out there and you get your juices flowing and youre trying to push it ... and it happened." Defensive tackle Pat Sims, also making his first appearance of camp after being taken off the physically unable to perform list, didnt last much longer. He sustained an apparent hamstring injury during blocking drills and missed the rest of practice. Raiders coach Dennis Allen hasnt ruled either player out for the preseason opener Friday night against Dallas, but Watson said he hopes to return to practice next week. "Itd be speculation for me to say whether they were quite ready or not," Allen said about Watson and Sims. "Our thought process was that they were ready to get out here and work. Well see where it goes from there." Wide receiver Jacoby Ford also left practice with an undisclosed injury and did not talk to reporters afterward. The injuries continue a troubling trend in Allens second season as the Raiders coach. First-round pick D.J. Hayden still hasnt been cleared for contact after an off-season abdominal surgery. Oaklands rookie cornerback also suffered a hamstring strain in practice earlier this week and will not play against Dallas. Linebacker Miles Burris, who started 15 games at weakside linebacker as a rookie in 2012, is also on the PUP list and hasnt practiced since undergoing knee surgery in January. "I still dont see anybody, with the exception potentially of Miles Burris, of being a major long-term type of deal," Allen said. "Miles has not progressed like he or I anticipated." The news wasnt all bad for Oakland. Cornerbacks Mike Jenkins and Tracy Porter returned to practice after sitting out two days earlier this week. Rookie running back Latavius Murray also practiced for the first time since early in camp. Notes: Defensive tackle Vance Walker was excused from practice to attend the birth of his child and is questionable to play on Friday. ... Defensive end Lamarr Houston, defensive lineman Brandon Bair and linebackers Kaluka Maiava and Billy Boyko have all been ruled out. ... Allen said all four quarterbacks on the roster will play against Dallas. Wholesale MLB Jerseys .

MLB Jerseys 2020 Online . -- Yogi Ferrell orchestrates pretty much everything in Indianas offence. MLB Jerseys From China . Instead of dwelling on the negative, Oates focused on what was good about the clubs recent play. It worked. Before the night of Oct. 22, 2011, Keith Nichols name did not resonate far beyond the borders of the Great Lake State, and certainly not for any particular play on the football field. If anything, Nichol was known as the guy who had lost the starting quarterback job to Michigan States Kirk Cousins three seasons earlier and been moved to wide receiver instead.In an instant, however, Nichol and Cousins would become inextricably linked for collaborating on one of the most unlikely, heart-stopping, game-winning catches in college football, which vaulted itself into the stratosphere of Michigan State lore. A Google search for Nichols name immediately yields the YouTube clip of the play that has been viewed more than 149,000 times online and countless other occasions on television replays -- one even his opponents havent been able to shake.Ive watched that video and that clip every now and then just to wonder like, Wow, so close, yet so far away to change your whole season like that, former Wisconsin linebacker Mike Taylor said.Added former Badgers co-defensive coordinator Chris Ash: It was one of the most gut-wrenching plays of my career. Whenever people show special situations of how not to defend end-of-game plays like a Hail Mary, I see it a lot.The scenario that night: BCS No. 6 Wisconsin, led by quarterback Russell Wilson, running back Montee Ball and nine future NFL draft picks on offense, against Cousins, LeVeon Bell and No. 16 Michigan State in a primetime matchup with ESPNs College GameDay crew on hand. In all, there were 17 starters who became future NFL draft picks in the game. Score tied at 31. Michigan State ball. Third-and-one from the Wisconsin 44-yard line with four seconds left.What happened next in Spartan Stadium ultimately altered the course of the season for two teams and changed Nichols life.Wisconsin was probably going to the national title game if they win that, or at least it looked pretty good for them, Nichol said. Michigan State needed that win to kind of solidify their national stature there at the game.The stunning last-second loss ended the Badgers national championship dreams, but they extracted a measure of revenge by beating the Spartans 42-39 in the Big Ten championship game to earn a trip to the Rose Bowl. Michigan State ended up in the Outback Bowl, where it beat Georgia.This Saturday, No. 11 Wisconsin travels to face No. 8 Michigan State at noon ET to open Big Ten play. It marks the first time the Badgers have ventured to East Lansing since that fateful play five seasons ago. The 2011 regular-season game also represents the last time Wisconsin was an undefeated, top-15 program that late in the year.It all came crashing down from 44 yards away, when Cousins heaved a pass into the air and into history as the clock ticked down. Four ... three ... two ... one ... zero.Here is the story inside the play.Michigan State wide receiver Keith Nichol:?If you were to look at it the way a diagram was shaped when you were writing it on paper, the play looked like the shape of a rocket.Michigan State quarterback Kirk Cousins: There was no other play to call in that moment. It came in, and we were going to run it to the left. It was going to be 62 Rocket. Coach (Mark) Dantonio, whos a defensive coach and rarely gets involved in the playcalling, decided when Coach (Bret) Bielema from Wisconsin called a timeout, once he saw the formation we aligned in, Coach Dantonio said, I want Kirk to roll to his right since hes a right-armed quarterback. So we aligned it to the right and called a 63 Rocket. I ended up rolling out to my right.Keith Nichol:?We put it into the boundary, which is the short side, to consolidate the bodies. We felt like if we had more bodies in a small area that we had a better chance to come up with it.Michigan State coach Mark Dantonio: They called a timeout, so we switched it. We sort of rolled out to the boundary and bought ourselves some time. I knew that we had a big body going down there in (tight end) Dion Sims, who now plays for the Dolphins, Keith Nichol and a couple of other guys. I knew Cousins was going to put the ball in the end zone. Beyond that, the play is diagrammed to work, but they have plays that are diagrammed to defend as well.Wisconsin linebacker Mike Taylor:?In 2011 during training camp, our defensive calls for a play like that where the team has to throw a Hail Mary to either tie the game or win the game, for whatever reason, we changed it from the year before. The year before, we would want to cover the guy downfield and be between the ball and him to help box him out like in basketball. For whatever reason, we changed it going into 2011 where we were coached to trail the receiver. Obviously there wasnt really a reason to switch it. Im not sure why we tried to fix it.Wisconsin cornerback Antonio Fenelus:?Theres no easy way to cover a Hail Mary. You just try to execute as best as possible. I dont know if the other way wouldve stopped that situation from happening. Who knows?Keith Nichol: That play is literally the last play of every single Thursday practice that we have in just shoulder pads and shorts. We would usually just jog it. We dont even run that hard down, maybe 75 percent. The point of it is to land it about two yards into the end zone, and that there would be bodies surrounding it. Every time we practiced it, the point man would always tip it up in the air to be funny or goof around. It was practiced almost identical to how it was performed in the game, except at practice we never had any bodies rush on you at the goal line to score for the touchdown.Wisconsin safety Shelton Johnson: We ran our normal victory play. It was just a play that we had practiced every week up until then for last-play situations like that. A prevent defense with three deep safeties. We always called it victory because thats what its supposed to do. Its supposed to be just for last-ditch efforts like that. We werent talking about anything specific other than knocking the ball down and getting to overtime.Kirk Cousins: LeVeon Bell did a good job helping me get the edge and we just practiced it every week and let them get down to the end zone and then let it go. I threw it as high and far as I could to make sure it landed in that 10-yard end zone space.Mike Taylor: Our pass rush wasnt that great. I think we rushed three. Really there were only two guys that got any pass rush. By the time he threw the ball, he probably had four or five seconds and just had all the time in the world to throw the ball.Wisconsin co-defensive coordinator Chris Ash: Everything started out well, but we lost contain on the quarterback. We didnt box out at the launch spot.Shelton Johnson: I was one of the deep safeties to the field. They lined up three receivers into the boundary. I do know it was to the opposite side of me. I was just right there on the goal line when I saw the ball go up.Keith Nichol:?I was always the point man, being the individual two yards in the end zone to get my hands on it first. Getting up to the football and meeting it at its highest point was something I did well when I was playing. But B.J. Cunningham was actually having a phenomenal game against Wisconsin, and everything he touched, he was catching. If anyone was to get their hands on the football, coaches wanted it to be him at that moment.Shelton Johnson: Coach Bielema made a last-minute change to put Jared Abbrederis in back there instead of one of the defensive backs. He was probably one of the guys with the best ball skills on the team at that point, especially at the high point of the ball. So I cant say it was a bad move. But I think it definitely did surprise everybody when he decided to do that.Wisconsin coach Bret Bielema:?When you have a very special player that can do certain things better than others, even if its on the other side of the ball, you try to maximize it. Abby had a really good ball sense. We were really depleted that year. That year in particular, we had a corner, Devin Smith, who unfortunately became injured in our second or third game. If hed stayed healthy throughout the year, I dont know if we wouldve lost another one. But it was one of those years where if you had the wrong guy get injured at the wrong position, it could be devastating.dddddddddddd. And we were just kind of constantly trying to find a roster spot to fill that void.Mike Taylor:?A lot of things went wrong on this play. Starting with our defender, we had Jared Abbrederis in the game to kind of be an extra defender. Jump, catch the ball, knock the ball down. He mistimed his jump, had a poor jump and just barely ending up tipping the ball.Wisconsin wide receiver Jared Abbrederis: The ball was in the air. It just felt like it floated forever. I went up to jump. I misjudged it, and that was it.Michigan State wide receiver B.J. Cunningham: He went up for the ball and I was like, Oh man, hes about to catch it, and it went right through his hands and hit me in the visor. As soon as it hit me in the visor, Im reaching for it. I was like, Oh my God, I just messed the game up for us. The ball hit me in the face. This is crazy. Im about to throw up. It was bad. I felt terrible. I didnt know what to do. Were going to watch this on film. Im going to look so un-athletic. Then I see the ball still in the air.Keith Nichol: To miss the football the way Abbrederis did by half an inch and to go through his hands into B.J.s facemask and then pop up in slow motion the way it did, somehow I found it. B.J. ended up tipping it to the position that he would have been in had the roles been reversed. What I thought in my mind was when I caught the football that I would fall or walk into the end zone no problem. And then that actually ended up being the opposite of what happened. What caught me by surprise was not necessarily catching the football. It was the wrestling motion at the end that caught me off guard.Shelton Johnson:?I assumed that Abbrederis was going to knock the ball down and we were going to go into overtime. But then I saw him kind of misjudge the ball and fall into a pile of bodies. I just ran over there as fast as I could to try to make sure the ball was down and move the pack back out of the end zone.Mike Taylor:?I was out of position. A lot of guys were out of position. Jared falls off the tackle. Shelton Johnson gets a bad attempt at a tackle, and the guys got forward momentum going to the goal line from one yard out. That left me versus him one-on-one while hes falling into the end zone with like a one-yard head start. You can kind of feel the season in your arms at that point as youre trying to keep him out of the end zone so it doesnt change the whole season. You get that sense of panic and that adrenaline rush where you just cant let this guy go in the end zone. They marked it at the two-inch line.Keith Nichol:?There was a moment when I leaned over the goal line, and I felt like half of my body was in the end zone. I felt like if my chest crossed the goal line, then the football had to come with me as well. But when youre thinking things through, you dont know if the football is there enough with you or if there was indisputable evidence to overturn the call.Kirk Cousins:?I had no perception of how close he was to the goal line or not. I thought maybe he was on the 4- or 3-yard-line and didnt even come close to the goal line. As I ran down, I saw a teammate of mine, Keshawn Martin, No. 82, who shows no emotion, never reacts to anything, is very deadpan, going crazy. With his hands like this talking to the ref. And I knew that if he was that emotional, it meant something.Keith Nichol:?That was to define a season for both teams at the time. So you just kind of wonder, OK, is it going to be enough for them to change it? If it was close, the refs were going to just go into overtime in my opinion and not live or die on that one call.B.J. Cunningham:?I didnt know if he crossed the line or not. They had to go to instant replay. When I saw or heard the crowd, Im like, Dang, he mightve really scored. Antonio Fenelus:?I had a bad feeling when they went to review.Kirk Cousins:?I went over to an ESPN cameraman on the sideline, who had the headset on and I just said, What are you hearing from the producers in the booth outside in the truck? He said, Were hearing that its going to be ruled a touchdown. I said, Well thats good enough for me. So we waited, but I was pretty hopeful.Mark Dantonio:?When Keith made the catch, and then they had the ruling on the field and everything, everyone was just sort of hanging. I was calm and waited for the ruling. Everyone was starting to say that were in, they have to give it to us, so I sort of felt it was going to go our way before the official ruling.Kirk Cousins: Sure enough, the ref came out and said the player did cross the goal line, and from there, it was pandemonium.B.J. Cunningham:?It bounces off my facemask, right into Keith Nichols hands, and he catches it, and we win the game? That was the most crazy play Ive ever been a part of in my life. Its like really how a Hail Mary is supposed to be coached. Thats how we ran it.Mike Taylor:?Instant replay is supposed to be conclusive evidence to overturn the play. You can assume the ball crossed the goal line, and it most likely did. But to say there was clear evidence of the ball crossing the goal line, I dont think you ever see the ball cross the goal line. You just assume based on where the guys hands are that the ball did cross the goal line. He probably did. But you cant clearly see that.Shelton Johnson: Looking at the replay, he got in. But in the heat of the moment, you hope that he didnt. I know everybody was a little upset when we heard the final call. I was like, Man, this shouldnt have been this close. Thats not something that you expect to happen. I think everyone on the team was getting mentally prepared for overtime.Bret Bielema:?That came down to an unbelievable execution by them and lack of it by us. Sometimes that ball just bounces the wrong way, and eventually you persevere.Jared Abbrederis: Thats why you play, especially something like that. Its just a backyard ball and if you end up in the right place, obviously crazy things can happen.B.J. Cunningham:?To end it on a play like that was amazing. Youll never forget that. Ill never forget it. I know it changed Keiths life. He went from quarterback to receiver to catching the winning touchdown in a homecoming game against a top-5 team in the country. Not too many people do that.Keith Nichol:?That kind of cemented myself as a player in that program. That moment did, at least. And I say that just because of the experiences Ive had on the street or out in the public. How often its brought up, things like that. Ive been in a restroom at a very nice restaurant in the metro Detroit area. Somebody said hello and brought that game up. What do you really say? Youre not going to shake their hand. Youre in the restroom, right? Ill be out and talking to somebody, and someone will pull up the YouTube video. This is him. People are just weird about it. Its been interesting.B.J. Cunningham:?I think about the play every week when we go over our Hail Mary drills in practice (with the Montreal Alouettes in the CFL) before the games. I always tell teammates to be ready because all of a sudden we practice it, the jump guy, a guy in the back and the middle, theyre all important. I tell them that in college, that exact same thing happened to me.Mike Taylor: It really messed up our season and our plans. If Im ever in Madison and seeing old pictures of teammates or teams, you think about it. Like what would have happened if we wouldve won that game? What wouldve happened if that ball didnt get deflected? What wouldve happened if I was able to keep him out of the end zone? Its not like I feel burdened or anything or I let my team down. Its just one of those things like, dang, you wish you had one more yard. You wish he wouldve caught the ball at the two instead of the one.Antonio Fenelus: I wish it wouldve gone the other way. But we got the last laugh. Thats one thing I will say. We got the last laugh against them in the Big Ten championship game.ESPN.coms John Keim and Rob Demovsky contributed to this story. ' ' '

LOS ANGELES -- Khlomar is officially no more.A Los Angeles judge on Friday finalized Khloe Kardashians divorce from former NBA player Lamar Odom, more than three years after the reality TV star first sought to end their marriage.Kardashian filed for divorce in December 2013 after the pair had been married for four years, but rescinded the filing after Odom was found unconscious at a Nevada brothel last year. She cited Odoms medical condition as one reason to withdraw the divorce.She re-filed for divorce citing irreconcilable differences in May.

While the judge signed off on it on Friday, the pair wont be officially single until Dec. 17.Odom last played for the Los Angeles Clippers during the 2012-13 season, averaging a career-low 4.0 points and 5.9 rebounds. He signed a contract with the New York Knicks in 2014, but was cut by the team before appearing in a game.Kardashians first divorce filing came days after Odom pleaded no contest to a misdemeanor drunken driving charge.The 6-foot-10-inch power forward had his best years with the Los Angeles Lakers between 2004 and 2011. The team won NBA championships in 2010 and 2011 and Odom won the NBAs sixth man award during that second championship run.In addition to appearing on several reality series chronicling her family, Kardashian helps operate clothing stores and other businesses with her sisters, Kim and Kourtney Kardashian.---Anthony McCartney can be reached at http://twitter.com/mccartneyAP Wholesale Steph Curry Shoes . -- Damian Lillard and LaMarcus Alrdridge were again the go-to duo for the Trail Blazers against the Kings.

Daniel Ricciardo admitted he was angry after late yellow flags in qualifying for the Hungarian Grand Prix denied him a shot at pole.Ricciardo had to settle for third on the grid behind Mercedes when he approached yellow flags on his final run, requiring a big lift through the middle sector. The final margin to Nico Rosberg -- whose pole lap was questioned by Red Bull boss Christian Horner?-- was three tenths, though Lewis Hamiltons own final run was compromised by the yellow flags.We got hurt by the yellow as well, the Australian said. I was pretty angry on that last lap because I was up a bit and I think it would have put me closer to pole. It would have been interesting without the yellow so Im a little bit disappointed but at the same time the session went really well.Ricciardo thinks he was in a good position to improve on his initial lap, a 1:20.280, having iimproved through the first sector and a half before coming across Fernando Alonsos stricken McLaren at Turn 9.dddddddddddd?I think we would have got close on the last run, with the yellow it sounds like Lewis was improving as well, but looking at the 19.9, which Nico did ... I did a 20.28 and I was three and a half tenths up on my time at the time of the yellows. So I would have been pretty close to the time Nico set.I was pretty frustrated on the radio, but anyway, it is what it is, weve definitely made some ground today over yesterday. Thats nice because normally in qualifying Mercedes tend to if not hold the gap, normally increase it generally speaking.Ricciardo lines up on the second row ahead of Red Bull teammate Max Verstappen.?

CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- The Carolina Panthers are trying their best to emulate last seasons Kansas City Chiefs.To do that, they must beat this seasons Chiefs on Sunday.The 2015 Chiefs did what 90 other NFL teams since 1990 had failed to do -- rebound from a 1-5 start to make the playoffs. They did it by running the table, winning their final 10 regular-season games.Carolina started 1-5 this season. But it has won two games since the bye week and there is a renewed sense of confidence and momentum. Panthers coach Ron Rivera said he shared the Chiefs story with his team a couple of weeks ago, telling them there is hope.Its been done before, Rivera said.Last years league MVP Cam Newton believes the Panthers have what it takes to bounce back.The seasons not over yet, Newton said. ... Were right where we want to be. Were in a position to compete and challenge teams and they know that.It wont be easy.The Chiefs are riding a four-game winning streak and have won 16 of their last 18 regular season games.Rivera said he briefly thought about calling Reid, whom he worked under as an assistant coach in Philadelphia, to get some advice, but thought better of it knowing the Chiefs were coming up on the schedule.If theres anybody that can turn things around for the NFC champions it would seem to be Newton. Although the Panthers started last season 14-0, they are typically slow starters -and strong finishers -- under the 2011 No. 1 pick. Newton has won 72 percent (31-12) of the games hes started from November through January, as opposed to 42 percent (17-24-1) in September and October.ALEX RETURNS: Chiefs quarterback Alex Smith is back under center after missing last weeks game against Jacksonville with a head injury. Smith was never diagnosed with a concussion, but two hard hits he sustained in Indianapolis left him woozy on the field, and Reid decided early last week that sitting out a game would be in Smiths best interest.Nick Foles started in his place.I felt really good regardless, Smith said. Thankfully Nick and the rest of the guys got the W, thats what is most important. Obviously I was doing everything I could to try and help in whatever way it is. Im pumped and happy to get back and get going this week.FORD TOUGH: Chiefs pass rusher Dee Ford was a teammate with Newton at Auburn. Newton remembers it well.Hes always had that professional sense that you had to respect, and I saw that at Auburn, and its just great to see hard work pay off, Newton said.The Chiefs only have 16 sacks this season and nine of those belong to Ford. The 2014 first-round pick was largely considered a bust before coming on late last year, and hes been crucial as the Chiefs await Justin Houstons return from knee surgery. And 5 1-2 of those sacks have come in the last two weeks.I think hes very comfortable with the defense now, Reid said. Its a fairly complicated defense, but hes got a pretty good grasp of it. I think hes probably gotten stronger since weve gotten him. I think hes spent a ton of time in that weight room. Hes got himself in shape to where he can do this back-to-back thing.HOUSTON, WE HAVE NO PROBLEM: Chiefs linebacker Houston makes his first return to the lineup this week after recovering from a knee injury last season. The four-time Pro Bowl pass rusher was removed from the physically unable to perform list earlier this week, but has not played in a game since having surgery to repair his left ACL in February.SACK ATTACK: Carolina is getting after the QB. The Panthers have a dozen sacks in their last two games, matching their total from the first six games. A big part of that is the Panthers playing with the lead and playing less mobile quarterbacks in Carson Palmer and Case Keenum. This week theyll face Smith, who has deceiving speed and athleticism.CENTER OF ATTENTION: Keep an eye on the Panthers center situation. Two-time All-Pro Ryan Kalil and his backup Gino Gradkowski have been held out of practice this week, which means guard Chris Scott could be pressed into duty. Scott has very limited experience playing center, which could make it interesting if the Panthers limit the number of snaps Newton takes from the shotgun.---AP Sports Writer Dave Skretta in Kansas City contributed to this report.---For more NFL coverage: http://www.pro32.ap.org and http://www.twitter.com/AP-NFLAP Cheap Jerseys 2020 . After taking two big hits this week -- losing at home and dropping back-to-back games for the first time all season -- Indiana struck back by playing its most complete game of the year. Cheap Authentic Jerseys 2020 . MLS Commissioner Don Garber and Miami-Dade County Mayor Carlos Gimenez also will attend the session, which was announced Monday. The league has discussed placing its next two expansion teams in Miami and Atlanta. https://www.wholesalejerseysreview.com/ . Coach Tom Thibodeau says the former MVP will probably start travelling with the team in the next few weeks. Rose tore the meniscus in his right knee at Portland in November and was ruled out for the remainder of the season by the Bulls. China Jerseys 2020 . Capitals head coach Adam Oates said Ovechkin was injured in the first period against the Vancouver Canucks on Monday and clarified it was not a head injury. Wholesale Jerseys 2020 . -- Ryan Blaney provided more evidence that Penske Racings No. Tough decisions and significant changes will be made at AFL club Richmond without a board spill, according to Tigers president Peggy ONeal.Speaking at a hastily convened press conference at Punt Road on Monday afternoon, ONeal was strident in her defence of the current boards record that has delivered off-field strength without onfield success.A rival group, led by cardiologist Dr Martin Hiscock, earlier launched an audacious boardroom challenge, citing that lack of onfield success as their primary motivation.ONeal said her board would not be afraid to act on the findings of a review into the clubs dismal 2016 season when it is completed by accounting firm Ernst & Young.Naturally what we all crave is onfield success ... from the board down we are bitterly disappointed with what unfolded in 2016 - our performances did not match expectations, ONeal said.Our members and fans are angry with what we delivered on the field - they have every right to be and we hear them.The club has undertaken a thorough review of our football operations and changes will be made as a result.This will require some hard decisions - neither myself, the board, oor our CEO Brendon Gale will shy away from making those tough calls.ddddddddddddONeal counted the clubs debt-free status, record membership and a stand-alone VFL side among her boards achievements and added a flood of support had been received in the wake of Mondays board challenge.Gales job, along with that of senior coach Damien Hardwick and football chief Dan Richardson, were guaranteed by the rival group if their challenge should be successful.Asked if he could continue under a new board headed by Hiscock, Gale said he served the Richmond Football Club.He illustrated his dedication to the Tigers by revealing he had fended off approaches from the Melbourne Cricket Club to fill the vacancy created by the retirement of long-serving chief executive Stephen Gough.I was approached a fair while ago and thats not the job for me ... my job is the Richmond Football Club, Gale said.This is my passion and Im absolutely hell bent on delivering on our vision of a strong and bold premiership club and that wont change.

Fans looking to buy an?Auston Matthews?jersey after his epic debut will finally have their chance.The uniform of the No. 1 draft pick and the Toronto Maple Leafs center was not available after his four-goal performance on Wednesday night. It was released on Fanatics and across its sites, which includes the NHL and Maple Leafs online store, late Thursday afternoon.NHL Players Association spokesman Jonathan Weatherdon told ESPN that licensees cant use a players name and image until that player has technically made the team. The player must then sign the group licensing agreement. Its not clear when Matthews situation was finalized.Jerseys were available last year well before No. 1 pick?Connor McDavid?played his first game with the Edmonton Oilers. Weatherdon said that was an exception because the team gave him his number right away and said that he had made the team.The Maple Leafs did not immediately say Matthews had won a job and didnt give him his No. 34 until the end of September.The NFL and the NBA make jerseys available immediately after players are drafted. Major League Baseball players have their jerseys for sale as soon as they make the big league roster. Tim Tebows Mets jersey is an exception because Tebows deal is directly with baseballs jersey manufacturer Majestic. Pw Solar Hu NMD Canada . Note: The Calgary Flames announced Tuesday that Sean Monahan would not be made available to Canadas World Junior team. Ultra Boost Canada . - Derek Wolfe says hes finally healthy after suffering a seizure in November that doctors now believe was related to the spinal cord injury he suffered in the preseason. http://www.nmdshoescanada.com/ultra-boost-cheap-canada/4.html . Boucher previously coached the Tampa Bay Lightning and had a 97-78-20 record over two-plus seasons. He was dismissed by the team last March after the Lightning struggled in the lockout-shortened season with a 13-18-1 record. y-3 Sale Canada . -- 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. NMD Restock Canada . Scott Kazmir allowed four hits in seven shutout innings, Michael Brantley hit a two-run homer in a three-run first inning and the Indians maintained their hold on an AL wild-card spot with a 4-1 win over the Houston Astros on Saturday night. Wisconsin defeated three top 10 teams this year and lost by a touchdown to two others.Now comes the hard part of the schedule: Saturday at Northwestern (noon ET, ABC).Huh? Dont laugh.The Wildcats (4-4, 3-2), who come into the contest tied with the No. 8 Badgers (6-2, 3-2), Minnesota and Iowa for second place in the Big Tens West Division -- one game behind Nebraska, have been a genuine thorn in the side to their neighbors to the north. The two campuses are only 142 miles apart.Wisconsin hasnt won at Ryan Field since 1999, a span of 17 years. The teams have met 10 times since with the Wildcats claiming a 6-4 advantage, including all four games played in Evanston.So maybe for an outsider looking in the contest doesnt seem as big for Wisconsin as playing LSU in Lambeau Field or handing Nebraska its first loss of the season 23-17 in overtime last week, but Badgers coach Paul Chryst has preached to his squad the importance of remaining focused heading into a November stretch that also includes games with Illinois (2-6, 1-4), Purdue (3-5, 1-4) and a season-ending showdown with Minnesota (6-2, 3-2).I think it is easy to buy into what people may be saying on the outside as far as getting through the gauntlet and this being the easy part of the schedule, Wisconsin cornerback Sojourn Shelton told UWBadgers.com. No part of playing college football games (is) easy. Our whole thing is just not getting complacent. I think weve played pretty good football. Now its just staying consistent.Youve got to try and ignore all the outside noise because none of it matters, Chryst said. We know this is a tough stretch.Especially with the way Northwestern played in October. The Wildcats went 3-1 with road wins at Iowa 38-31 and Michigan State 54-40 and a home victory over Indiana 24-14. The lone loss came last week at No. 6 Ohio State 24-20.The 3-1 October helped take some of the sting away from a poor 1/3 September that included back-to-back home losses to Western Michigan 22-21 and Illinois State 9-7.Its easy to come and show up for an Ohio State, or a Michigan State or an Iowa -- weve got to show up every game, and its really biting us in the butt right now, Northwestern quarterback Clayton Thorson said. Were a 4-4 football team, a .500 football team, and we know wwe shouldnt be.ddddddddddddorthwestern would have shared the division lead had it beaten Ohio State last SaturdayIt obviously didnt start the way we wanted it to, spotting them a couple scores, but the guys didnt flinch and kept swinging, Northwestern coach Pat Fitzgerald said after the game. And, you know, we ended up one punch short.Buckeyes running back Curtis Samuel ran for a 3-yard touchdown with 9:43 left to break a 17-17 tie for a 24-17 lead. The Wildcats drove to the Ohio State 3 but had to settle for a 33-yard Jack Mitchell field goal that cut the deficit to 24-20.Ohio State quarterback J.T. Barrett converted a pair of third downs on the late drive that ate up the clock and denied Northwestern a final possession.Thorson was 22 of 42 for 256 yards with a touchdown and a first-quarter interception for Northwestern. Austin Carr, the Big Tens leading receiver, caught eight passes for a career-high 158 yards while Garrett Dickerson had a career-best eight grabs for 43 yards and a TD.Thorson has 15 touchdown passes, tied with Dan Persa (2010) for ninth all-time in a season at Northwestern.Carr, who caught a pass in his 17th consecutive game, moved into seventh in school single-season history with 878 receiving yards.Meanwhile, Wisconsin used a strong running game, in particular from Corey Clement, to knock off Nebraska.Senior Dare Ogunbowale rushed for 120 yards and a touchdown, Clement added 82 yards and freshman Bradrick Shaw scored a touchdown.I thought the run game was big, Chryst said.The passing game was a different matter. Redshirt freshman quarterback Alex Hornibrook started, but fifth-year senior Bart Houston ended the game. Hornibrook was 10 of 16 for 71 yards and a touchdown, while Houston completed 4 of 7 passes for 43 yards. Both quarterbacks threw an interception.There are a lot of things we need to work on in the quarterback room, Houston said.Chryst said Hornibrook will be the starter at quarterback against Northwestern. Hornibrook completed 75 of 131 passes for 948 yards with six touchdowns and seven interceptions. Houston is 52 of 84 for 629 yards with three touchdowns and three interceptions. ' ' '

SEOUL, South Korea -- South Korean police say they have investigated a baseball player who confessed to his team about match-fixing.The investigation of Yoo Chang-sik, a left-handed pitcher for the Kia Tigers, came four days after prosecutors indicted two other players on match-fixing allegations.According to police, Yoo told investigators Monday that he deliberately allowed walks in the first innings during two games in 2014 when he was playing for the Hanwha Eagles.Police cited Yoo as saying he took a total of $2,640 in return from a broker.The Korean Baseball Organization previously said that Yoo had reported to his team that he manipulated one game.Police said they will likely request prosecutors to indict Yoo.South Koreas major professional sports leagues, including baseball and soccer, have been rocked by match-fixing scandals in recent years that have led to jail sentences and lifetime bans of several players and coaches.

No. 13-seeded John Isner and No. 21 Philipp Kohlschreiber were among six players who dropped out of the tournament on Tuesday, joining No. 12 seed Tommy Haas and two other players who withdrew on Monday.

Wholesale Shoes Canada . -- Bryant McKinnie came out of his stance and lowered his shoulder into a practice squad player, causing a crisp thud to reverberate in the Miami Dolphins practice bubble. Rajshahi Kings 184 for 7 (Patel 75, Mominul 56, Bravo 3-35) beat Dhaka Dynamites 182 for 4 (Sangakkara 66, Reza 2-22) by three wicketsScorecard and ball-by-ball detailsRajshahi Kings edged Dhaka Dynamites by three runs in a tense last-over finish to secure their second win in this seasons BPL. Opener Mominul Haque and England allrounder Samit Patel shaped the 183 chase with rapid half-centuries, before the cool heads of Mehedi Hasan and Farhad Reza sealed the deal with one ball to spare in Chittagong.After Patel brought Rajshahi within 29 runs of victory, Dhaka hit back with Dwayne Bravos double-strike. Bravo first had Umar Akmal caught and bowled before bowling Darren Sammy in his next over, the penultimate over of the match, which went only for three runs.This left Kent seamer Matt Coles, who had conceded 25 runs in his first two overs, with eight to defend off the last over. He began strongly by having Abul Hasan holing out to long-on, and following it with a low full-toss, which went only for a single. Farhad Reza, though, hoicked a four off the third ball to narrow the equation to four off three balls. The next ball - also a full-toss - was hit to long-off for a single, and Mehedi then finished it off with a four over backward point. It was Patel who had set it up for Rajshahi. He added 100 runs for the third wicket with Mominul after Rajshahi had lost their first two wickets in four overs. Mominul, who was earllier branded as Test specialist, showed that he has made changes to his approach.ddddddddddddHe went onto bring up his second successive half-century off 38 balls.But it was Patel who forced the pace in the 12th over. He hammered Coles for three fours and a six, and raised his fifty off 26 balls. The stand ended in the 15th over when Mominul was bowled by Mohammad Shahid.Patel, though, did not slow down. He lifted Shakib for a brace of straight sixes, before getting bowled while attempting a third six.Earlier, Kumar Sangakkara led the way for Dhaka, after they opted to bat. He added 71 runs for the first wicket with Mehedi Maruf, before the latter fell to a fine catch Sabbir Rahman at long-off.Sangakkara, though, went on to bring up his first fifty of the tournament. He relied on fast hands to hit sixes over wide long-on and deep midwicket during his 46-ball 66. Sangakkara also benefitted from two reprieves: Patel dropped him on 31 and then Mominul dropped him on 43.Seekkuge Prasanna, promoted to No. 4, after bashing a 22-ball 53 at No. 9 on Saturday, enhanced his ball-striking reputation with 34 not out off 16 balls. He helped add 60 runs, including 22 off the last over from Abul Hasan, in the last five overs. Rajshahi, however, completed the highest successful chase in this seasons BPL. ' ' '

The inaugural ELeague season finished with a classic grand final between Counter-Strike: Global Offensive teams Fnatic (FNC) and Virtus.pro (VP). FNC came into the final day of the league with the most momentum. From top to bottom, the lineup was firing on all cylinders. On the other end, VP finally made it to a grand final after an extended slump. It was anyones guess what kind of form they would be in.FNC chose Cobblestone for their first map, which is a map theyve routinely crushed due to their ability to isolate aim duels and execute great rushes on either bomb site. However, it was VP and not FNC that took advantage of the maps many angles. VP surprised many with an incredibly strong T-side and suffocated all FNC resistance.VP in-game leader Filip NEO Kubski was the star of the show. His calls on when to rush a specific bomb site were impeccable and his call outs on positioning were on the mark. The best part for VP fans was his carrying ability. NEO looked unstoppable as the driving force behind VPs attack when Pawe? byali Bieliński or Janusz Snax Pogorzelski struggled. The Poles would close out the first map, thought of as their opponents specialty, 16-10.The next map was VPs home turf, Mirage. On paper, the grand final was a wrap. VP are monstrous on this map; in fact, they are arguably the best team in the world on it. But FNCs resilience and legendary bounce-back ability made it a match. It was a close affair when the first half ended, but Snax took over in the second. He carried the majority of the fights and led in kills, but his clutch rounds were the most impressive. Snax helped his team return in a big way and allowed VP to essentially cruise to a victory and end the downturn that has haunted them for much of 2016. Cheap Braves Jerseys .

Rahanes top-order chanceSince Ajinkya Rahanes ODI career received an unexpected second wind last year, he has scored 500 runs in 12 matches at an average of 45.45. After struggling to make the XI in the preceding tour of Bangladesh, Rahane has since firmed up his place in the middle order - five of his six fifties during this period have come from No. 3 or lower. Despite his success in the middle order - a position where Dhoni once felt Rahane couldnt rotate strike efficiently from, especially on slow pitches - it is at the top that he truly belongs as his IPL record illustrates. With Rahane assured of at least three games as opener in the absence of Shikhar Dhawan, he has a chance to recapture a slot where he has tasted considerable success.Rainas returnSuresh Raina has had an interesting 12 months since he last played an ODI. After two solid T20 efforts in Australia in January, he produced middling scores scattered among four DNBs, and an underwhelming World T20. While Raina scored nearly 400 runs in the IPL and led Gujarat Lions into the playoffs, his performance was still a faint echo of the imposing numbers he racked up while at Chennai Super Kings. His recent good performances have come in four-day matches, with two half-centuries in three Duleep Trophy innings.The portents are good, though. The last time he made a comeback, Raina smashed a match-winning hundred in Cardiff, and cruised into the World Cup on its momentum. With the Champions Trophy less than a year away, he couldnt time his comeback better.Pandey and PandyaAfter years of teetering between potential and performance, Manish Pandey showed up in Sydney and barnstormed his way to a modern classic. Eight months later, he returned to Australia with the India A side and finished as the highest run-getter in the Quadrangular series. With the middle order set to take a definitive shape over the course of a long season, Pandey has the chance to cash in on his first experience of ODI cricket at home.Hardik Pandya, on the other hand, seemed to have withered away after the initial razzle-dazzle. Unlike Pandey, he wasnt propped up by the strength of impressive numbers in Australia, but it is understood the selectors liked what they saw of him. Dont go by statistics alone. You still need the seam-bowling allrounder going into the 2017 Champions Trophy in England, a BCCI source said. Whatever matches we are playing before that he needs to be given a look.Spotlight on bowlers workloadsSince the start of the Test matches in the West Indies, R Ashwin has bowled 243.2 overs in international cricket, while Mohammed Shami and Ravindra Jadeja have sent down 154.5 and 134.3 overs respectively. The three of them accounted for 31 of the 56 wickets taken by Indias bowlers in the four-Test series in the West Indies, and 32 of the 39 in the ongoing series against New Zealand. By taking stock of their workloads, the selectors have shown foresight to keep their main bowlers fresh in a long season during which India will host England, Bangladesh and Australia. Dipping into the spin reservesWith Ashwin and Jadeja usually filling the spinnerss slots in big matches, Amit Mishra has found it difficult to break into the first XI in ODI cricket. But, with both frontline options rested, Mishra has a rare chance to lead the spin attack. Keeping him company will be Axar Patel, both of who had a fruitful tour of Australia with the India A side, and the uncapped Jayant Yadav. A legspinner, a left-arm orthodox spinner, an offspinner. While Jayant was the teams second highest wicket-taker in the unofficial Tests, Axar finished as the second-most economical bowler in the Quadrangular series. The three of them will vie to become Indias first-choice third spinner in future ODI squads. Steph Curry Shoes From China . Argentina winger Ezequiel Lavezzi and France midfielder Blaise Matuidi scored, with star striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic setting up both despite having a poor game by his high standards. Forward Eduardo gave Ajaccio the lead in the sixth minute after being set up by right winger Benjamin Andre, and the Corsican side looked comfortable in the first half, with the lively Johan Cavalli causing problems with his probing runs from midfield. Steph Curry Shoes Outlet . World champions Tatiana Volosozhar and Maxim Trankov of Russia won the gold medal with 237.71 points, Moore-Towers and Moscovitch followed at 208.45 and Ksenia Stolbova and Fedor Klimov of Russia were third at 187. https://www.stephencurryshoescheap.com/ .

DETROIT -- First baseman Miguel Cabrera returns to the Tigers lineup on Wednesday as Detroit faces the Kansas City Royals in the series finale at Comerica Park.Cabrera missed Tuesdays 6-1 loss to the reigning World Series champs with a left biceps strain suffered in Mondays series opener. Cabrera was removed in the fifth inning of that 3-1 loss, the result of a strain that occurred as he was attempting to corral an errant throw to first base from pitcher Daniel Norris.The 33-year-old Cabrera (.311), who enters Wednesdays game with 999 total RBIs since joining the Tigers, will play first base and bat in his usual position, the 3-hole.Recent trade acquisition Erick Aybar will also be in the lineup, playing shortstop and batting second.

His timings off.Ausmus was asked whether he would think about giving Upton an entire series off. His response?I have considered it, Ausmus said.The Tigers, who enter Wednesdays game 3.5 games back from the second wild-card spot, have dropped the first two games of the series against Kansas City. Theyll aim to avoid a sweep before hosting the Boston Red Sox for a four-game set through the weekend. ' ' '

CORVALLIS, Ore. -- For a half, it looked like Washington States Air Raid offense had been grounded.But Luke Falk threw for five touchdowns and 415 yards as the Cougars roared back to beat Oregon State 35-31 on Saturday night.Gabe Marks caught two touchdown passes, and Jamal Morrow, Tavares Martin Jr. and Robert Lewis each had a TD for the Cougars (6-2, 5-0 Pac-12), who won their sixth game in a row. Marks finished with eight catches for 110 yards.The Cougars fell behind 24-6 at halftime, but Falk responded with three touchdown passes in the third quarter to put the Cougars up 28-24.In the fourth, Washington State mishandled a punt deep in its own territory, allowing Oregon State to score and regain the lead. On the next possession, Falk led the Cougars on an 80-yard, seven-play drive capped by Lewis 1-yard touchdown catch.Im just really proud of these guys. The first half didnt go our way, and we didnt quit, we came out swinging and just showed the type of team weve got, Falk said.Washington State coach Mike Leach said Oregon State wanted to win more in the first half and played harder. But the Cougars responded.Most teams in the country wouldnt have found a way to win a game like this on the road, Leach said.Oregon States Ryan Nall had two rushing touchdowns and another receiving. His 131 yards rushing included an 89-yard touchdown up the middle -- the third longest run in school history. He added 71 yards receiving.Marcus McMaryion had 303 yards passing with two touchdowns, including one to Seth Collins on a trick play that went for 46 yards, for Oregon State (2-6, 1-4), which lost its third in a row.Its a crying shame, said Oregon State coach Gary Andersen. You play them close and you get where you need to be and you have an opportunity to win a game in the Pac-12 and you dont get it done.

The game, moved because of World War II, remains the only Rose Bowl played outside Pasadena, California.JUMPBALL: Falk said a jump ball into triple coverage he threw to Marks in the third quarter -- which resulted in a 37-yard touchdown -- was the result of a play that broke down. Honestly, I just saw Gabe and threw it up, he said. Falk added that Marks competitiveness makes him a special player. He brings it every day in practice and then he goes out there in the games and does the same thing. He always wants the ball, you always know where hes going to be, Falk said.UP NEXTWashington State: The Cougars host Arizona next Saturday.Oregon State: The Beavers play at Stanford next Saturday.

A staple of the program for decades, Bruce Fowler resigned as Furmans football coach after six seasons Friday.The Paladins went 3-8 this season and were 27-43 under Fowler, including a 20-26 record in the Southern Conference.Fowler has spent 28 seasons in the program as a player, assistant coach and head coach. He was an assistant on Furmans 1988 FCS championship team and its 2001 national runner-up squad.Hes demonstrated a thorough commitment to the student-athletes and represented Furman in a first-class manner at all times.

The designation was released Monday after the deadline passed for NFL teams to use franchise or transition tags on players becoming free agents.Another England Test, another Alastair Cook milestone. Having passed Alec Stewarts England record of 133 Test appearances in the victory over Bangladesh in the first Test in Chittagong, Cook is now set to become Englands most capped captain of all time when he skippers the team against India in the first Test, on Wednesday.Cook moved level with Michael Atherton when he led his side out for the 54th time in the second Test in Dhaka but come Wednesday will top the list. There have been plenty of highs, and lows, during his spell as skipper. Click on the video above to see just a few, as we also chart them below...Bangladesh beginnings Cook celebrates after scoring a century against Bangladesh during his first Test as captain Its somewhat fitting that Cook equalled Athertons record where it all started, in Bangladesh. Though it was in Chittagong, and not Dhaka, where Cook became Englands 79th Test captain, covering for Andrew Strauss as he was rested at the time.He couldnt have wished for a better beginning either, smashing 173 against his hapless hosts to become only the fifth England batsman to score a hundred in his first game as skipper.Cook would lead his charges to a 181-run victory in that first Test in 2010 - Graeme Swann taking 10 wickets - before cracking another century in the second Test, as a nine-wicket win in Dhaka secured a 2-0 series triumph.Early success as skipper Cook kisses the urn after winning his first Ashes series as captain in 2013 Cook would have to wait over two years till next tasked with the Test captaincy, permanently taking over from Strauss for the tour of India. It represented a bit of a baptism of fire for Cook, with England having relinquished the No 1 Test ranking to South Africa earlier that summer amid rumours of ructions in the dressing room that led to Kevin Pietersens exile from the team for texts exchanged with the opposition.Cook brought KP back into the team for the India tour and would lead his team to a staggering 2-1 triumph on the sub-continent, made all the more remarkable by the fact that England were trounced by nine wickets in the first Test in Ahmedabad; albeit Cook scoring a century. Hed also tonk tons in the second and third Test wins.The Ashes (preceded by home and away series against New Zealand) were the next test, but one Cook passed with flying colours, leading England to a 3-0 series success. The margin of Englands win would somewhat flatter them, however, as following a 347-run drubbing in the second Test at Lords, a revitalised Australia were much more competitive, hinting of what was to come.Whitewashed in Aus Mitchell Johnson (L) celebrates the wicket of Cook, one of his 37 victims in the 5-0 Ashes whitewash in 2013/14 And what was to come was an utterly emphatic 5-0 series defeat in the return Ashes series in Australia later that winter, where a broken and battered England were routinely bounced out by Mitchell Johnson at the peak of his pacey powers.Englandd lost Jonathan Trott - a key component of their top order for the last four years - after the first Test defeat in Brisbane to a stress-related condition, while Swann retired, having been troubled by an elbow injury, with the series already lost following defeat in the third Test in Perth.ddddddddddddDesperately searching for answers, England used 19 players during the five-Test tour, of which the resounding find was a certain Ben Stokes, who struck a first Test ton on a hideously worn Perth pitch in only his second game.Cook defies doubters Cook is warmly applauded off the field at The Rose Bowl despite falling short of a century against India in 2014 There was worse still for Cook after the drubbing down under. A devastating defeat to Sri Lanka at Leeds in 2014 off the penultimate ball of the game that saw England lose the series, and an embarrassing 95-run second Test loss to India on a green-top at Lords perfectly catered for home advantage, had many calling for him to step down as skipper.They made a compelling case, as coupled with those heart-breaking defeats was that Cook couldnt buy a run - no Test tons for 14 matches, averaging 23.63. The captain, at his lowest ebb, himself admitted: No-one has a divine right to captain the side, or play in the side if theyre not performing.The tide began to turn though in the third Test at The Rose Bowl. After a painstaking 231-ball stay at the crease, Cook agonisingly fell five runs short of that long-awaited century. Regardless, the crowd appreciating the courage of a man under such pressure gave him a rousing reception from the crease. Cook would score an unbeaten 70 in the second innings, lead his side to a 3-1 series win, and would average 58.30, scoring three tons, in his next 14 Tests.Ashes redemption Cook celebrates winning back the Ashes urn in The Oval dressing room after a 3-2 win over Australia in 2015 599 days after handing the urn over to Australia, Cook has his redemption, said Sky Sports Nasser Hussain when calling Englands Ashes-winning moment in 2015, and how right he was too. 18 months on from his nadir as England captain at the hands of the Aussies, Cook was instrumental in wrestling the Ashes back.Not necessarily through sheer weight of runs - Cook hit just the two fifties across his nine innings in the series, averaging 36.66 - but through innovative captaincy, and impeccable leadership, specifically in rallying England from a 405-run thrashing at Lords that levelled the series after two Tests.Stuart Broads stunning 8-15 to bowl Australia out for just 60 on the first morning of the fourth Test at Trent Bridge all but ended the contest, though Cook would have to wait till The Oval to get his mitts on the urn, his redemption confirmed with a 3-2 series win.Watch the first Test between India and England from 3.30am on Wednesday, live on Sky Sports 2 HD.

MADRID, Spain -- Atletico Madrid has reinforced its already solid defence by signing Martin Demichelis to a one-year contract. Demichelis arrives just days after Atletico signed Spain striker David Villa to replace Radamel Falcao. The 32-year-old Demichelis, an Argentine international, spent the past 2 1/2 seasons with Malaga, helping the team qualify for the Champions League for the first time where it reached the quarterfinals last campaign. He also played at River Plate and then for Bayern Munich from 2003-11, winning four Bundesliga titles.

Subscribe today!Oakland RaidersOverall: 85 Title track: 41 Ownership: 104 Coaching: 24 Players: 48 Fan relations: 69 Affordability: 54 Stadium experience: 119 Bang for the buck: 86 Change from last year: +20The Oakland Raiders last trip to the playoffs -- let alone their last winning record -- came when quarterback Derek Carr was 11 years old, in sixth grade and watching his older brother David get sacked 76 times as the NFLs No. 1 overall draft pick. In other words, it was in 2002. Raiders fans are betting on the younger Carr having learned from the struggles of his older brother to get this proud franchise back up and running ... wherever its future home is, be it Oakland, Las Vegas, Los Angeles or parts unknown.Whats goodThe much critiqued plan of owner Mark Davis and general manager Reggie McKenzie appears to be coming to fruition, and fans judged this new-and-improved roster a vast upgrade, boosting it 51 spots in the players category (to 48th). All it took was two years of deconstruction and two more building back up. Oakland has finally again become a destination for sought-after free agents like OL Kelechi Osemele, LB Bruce Irvin, CB Sean Smith and FS Reggie Nelson. And McKenzies recent drafts, selecting the likes of Carr, receiver Amari Cooper and defensive end Khalil Mack, have given Oakland a strong, young nucleus around which to build a competitive team -- and give fans hope for the immediate future.Whats badWas it merely karma that on the 50th anniversary of the September day the Oakland Coliseum opened, the Raiders laid a silver and bblack egg in a deflating loss to the Falcons? The Coliseum is not quite quaint, not yet old enough to be seen as historic and, well, it has severe and well-publicized plumbing issues.dddddddddddd. In these standings, the Raiders placed second-to-last in sports in having a great stadium (the only team worse? Uh, the As). The narrow concourse areas are exercises in claustrophobia for fans during games and, as the lone remaining facility to still host NFL and major league baseball games, the torn-up grass and baseball dirt infield is not pleasurable for players in either sport in the crossover months of August and September. Football players have to deal with losing traction -- and skin on their elbows and forearms -- on the slippery dirt. Still wondering why the Raiders want (and need) a new stadium?Whats newEveryone knows the denizens of Raider Nation are among the most loyal in all of sports. Theyd have to be, given what theyve endured since getting thumped in Super Bowl XXXVII -- the team has gone a combined 63-145 (.303) since. So its a testament to the fans and front office that fan relations is up 22 spots since last year, thanks in large part to coach Jack Del Rio, in his second season in Oakland, who has changed the culture and is a major reason why the excitement and optimism surrounding the team feels different. And Las Vegas move be damned: The fans have bought in, selling out season tickets and parking passes this season. Thats loyalty.Next: Philadelphia Eagles?| Full rankings ' ' '
