SAN DIEGO -- Mayor Kevin Faulconer has endorsed a controversial ballot measure
that would give the San Diego Chargers a $1.

handout to help pay for a new downtown stadium.Faulconer says he gave his
endorsement only after the team agreed to concessions that protect the
city.However, those concessions arent legally binding.A mayoral spokesman says
the concessions provide a framework for negotiations if the measure passes.Many
observers feel the measure, which would raise the hotel occupancy tax by four
percent, will fail to get the two-thirds vote necessary to pass.The citys
powerful tourism industry opposes the measure.The Chargers were rebuffed last
year in their effort to build a stadium with the Raiders in Carson. They are
threatening to join the Rams in Inglewood if the measure fails.

. 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. The
speculation went into meltdown mode, of the golden nugget variety.WASHINGTON --
Stephen Strasburg had hitters flailing at curveballs for seven scoreless
innings. The pitch got him all eight of his strikeouts. One batter even had his
helmet fly off while trying to chase a low-and-away bender. It was another gem
of a performance gone to waste for the Washington Nationals ace. Strasburg said
afterward he no longer wanted to hear about the lack of run support, but the
only people who can stop the talk are his own teammates, who failed him again
Tuesday night in a 4-0 loss to the Milwaukee Brewers. "You know, Im tired of
talking about that," he said. "These guys battle every single day, just like I
do, and it just didnt work out for us tonight. But Id like to get over that. Id
like to stop answering questions about run support." Strasburgs ERA dropped to
2.24 and nearly overshadowed the games actual outcome. He was done after seven
innings and 105 pitches, and Juan Franciscos two-run double in the eighth
started a scoring spree off Drew Storen (2-2) as the Brewers snapped a six-game
losing streak. "Thats the first time Ive really seen him live -- so explosive
fastball, really ridiculous curveball," said Brewers manager Ron Roenicke,
giving his Strasburg review. "You dont see too many curveballs like that." The
Nationals had scored 23 runs in their previous two games, but theyve now been
shut out nine times this season. To get an idea of the their lack of support for
Strasburg, here is the running tally of earned runs hes allowed in his last nine
starts: 0, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 2, 0. His record during that stretch? Just 3-2. "I
think when a guy throws like that, he should be able to win," Nationals left
fielder Bryce Harper said. But he didnt. Francisco got the big hit off Storen
and scored when Martin Maldonado hit a warning track fly ball that popped out of
Harpers glove. It was ruled a double but Harper said simply: "I dropped it."
Maldonado then scored on Jeff Bianchis groundball single that got through the
infield only because Maldonado was trying to steal third with an absurd jump off
Storen, who still hasnt figured out how to hold men on base. "Fall behind these
guys," Storen said, "give them something to hit and theyre going to take care of
it. ... I made mistakes not holding the runners and fell behind guys." The
earned runs were the first allowed by Storen in 10 appearances, and they made
Jim Henderson (3-2) the winning pitcher. Brewers sttarter Wily Peralta had his
own shutout in the making until he left during the sixth inning with a strained
left hamstring.
Jack Tatum Raiders Jersey. Henderson was one
of four relievers who finished the eight-hitter. Roenicke said hes hoping
Peraltas tight hamstring was simply the result of a lack of fluid on a humid
day. "Were hoping in a couple days hell be all right," Roenicke said. The curve
was Strasburgs go-to pitch Tuesday against a meagre Brewers starting nine that
has only 31 home runs combined. Amaris Ramirezs helmet went flying when he swung
at a low-and-outside strike three in the second inning, and his juggling
right-handed catch of his headgear was the only thing impressive about his
at-bat. Maldonado couldnt quite check his swing at a similar pitch to end the
inning. In the third, Strasburg froze Peralta with a bender that hardly seemed
fair to throw to an opposing pitcher. Rickie Weeks struck out going after a
low-and-away curve in the fourth, and Peralta did the same in the fifth. With
the bases loaded and one out in the sixth, Strasburg got a called third strike
on Francisco on a curveball that was maybe a bit outside, then got Sean Halton
on the now-familiar low-and-away curve, with Halton unable to check the swing.
Strasburg allowed three hits. Two never left the infield, and one appeared to
result from a bad call at first on a grounder to the hole by Norichika Aoki. He
was hardly facing the most imposing lineup in the majors. The Brewers started
without shortstop Jean Segura and centre fielder Carlos Gomez, who have 196 hits
combined. Both have nagging injuries that need some rest, a thumb for Segura and
a shoulder for Gomez. Also, team RBI leader Jonathan Lucroy didnt start because
Maldonado usually catches Peralta. It was a lineup that couldnt do much -- until
Strasburg left the game. "It was good," Weeks said, "to get him out of there."
NOTES: Brewers OF Ryan Braun, on the 15-day disabled list with a bruised right
thumb, took some swings in the batting cage. "Were getting to the point where
its not pain-free, but a lot better than it was," Braun said. Roenicke said hes
not expecting Braun to return until after the All-Star break. ... The Nationals
sent outright RHP Cole Kimball to Triple-A Syracuse. ... The Nationals agreed to
terms with seven international free agents: RHP Edwin Adames, C Jose Cabello,
RHP Angel Guillen, LHP Jose Jimenez, OF Victor Robles, OF Dany Rojas and C Edwin
Trejos.
