IRVING, Texas - Tony Romo should be able to keep playing through a rib injury sustained against the New York Giants after X-rays showed no structural damage. Devon Kennard Giants Jersey . Dallas Cowboys executive vice-president Stephen Jones said on the teams flagship radio station Monday that the quarterback will be sore but that X-rays were negative and he wouldnt miss Sundays game at Kansas City. Romo was out for Dallas final offensive play of the first half after getting crunched between two defenders in a 36-31 victory over the Giants on Sunday night. He returned in the second half. Romo played several games with broken ribs in 2011. He said after the game he would be fine and the injury was "nothing really crazy." Michael Strahan Giants Jersey .

Johnathan Hankins Giants Jersey .J. -- Seven games into a disappointing season, New York Giants defensive catalyst Jason Pierre-Paul is getting the feeling hes back. http://www.nygiantsfanaticshop.com/Black-Will-Tye-Giants-Jersey.html?cat=876 . - Baltimore Ravens quarterback Joe Flacco is not a fan of his teams use of the wildcat formation, saying "it makes you look like a high school offence.ATLANTA, Georgia - Brandon Morrow first said he was "hopeful" of making his next scheduled start on Sunday in San Diego. Then the more he talked, the closer he came to guaranteeing it. "Even if theres some lingering soreness or whatever Im going to make my case that Im going to try to start that game no matter what," Morrow told TSN.ca. "I dont want to say were on the fence of whether or not Im going to start it. Im going to start that game. Its just a matter of how healthy I can get myself for it." Morrows situation presents a challenge for the Blue Jays. His right forearm strain chased him from Tuesdays start against the Braves after only two innings, forcing an already taxed bullpen to piece together the remainder of the game. Working off the assumption that Morrow will be less than 100 per cent, can the club run him out there on Sunday and risk another early night? Morrow didnt play catch on Wednesday and didnt throw his normally scheduled bullpen session on Thursday, electing instead for a combination of rest and treatment. Its likely the final decision will be made on Saturday. "Right now were planning to have him start but I dont know that I can say Im completely confident at this point," said general manager Alex Anthopoulos. "It doesnt look like its anything serious, but again, with Brandon, every day is so important ... There is a scenario where he would need to get moved back a few days but we wont know. Were going to wait a few days to see how he feels." Its been a disappointing season for Morrow. While his two victories put him in a second-place tie for the club lead amongst starters with Mark Buehrle and J.A. Happ - R.A. Dickeys four wins is tops entering play Thursday - his 5.63 ERA and inability to stay healthy have been drawbacks early on. Morrow missed 10 days inn early May, his start pushed back three times, with a strained back muscle. Chris Snee Giants Jersey. The matter of his forearm strain is compounded by the pitching staffs broader health issues. Josh Johnson is out with triceps inflammation, although he was scheduled to make his final rehab start for Triple-A Buffalo on Thursday and is penciled in to pitch the Blue Jays series opener in San Francisco. Happ, recovering from a knee injury suffered when he was hit in the head by a line drive, is still more than a month away from returning. Dickeys worked through nagging soreness in his neck and while he hasnt missed a start, hes been robbed of his high-velocity knuckleball. In the bullpen, Darren Oliver and Sergio Santos are on the disabled list and Casey Janssen doesnt know until he wakes up whether his cranky shoulder will allow him to pitch that day. One could forgive Morrow if, against better judgment, he felt compelled to pitch to prop up a staff which seems to be pieced together each day. "No I dont think so," he said. "It was feeling okay through the week. I threw my bullpen and it actually felt all right, I threw a pretty good bullpen and long toss that day and it felt loose the day before. I didnt feel it playing catch. But you know the intensity level isnt the same as in the game. It was just getting that little extra on the ball that takes it from whatever it was, 85 or 86, to 93 or 94 and that makes a big difference and then getting on top of the slider was tough because when you do that you can feel the stretch along that strip of muscle." DICKEYS STRUGGLES IN ATLANTA R.A. Dickey was looking for his first career victory at Turner Field on Thursday night. In five starts in Atlanta, Dickey was 0-2 with an ERA of 7.26. Lifetime versus the Braves, Dickey is 2-5, 5.15, in 13 appearances, 10 starts. Wholesale Jerseys China ' ' '

If Norris Trophy-nominated defenceman Kris Letang cant come to a long-term deal with the Pittsburgh Penguins, his preferred landing spot would be with the Toronto Maple Leafs, according to Rob Rossi of the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review. Wholesale NFL Jerseys . Speaking to Jim Tatti and Mike Hogan on TSN Radio 1050s Game Night on Wednesday, Rossi explained why such a scenario could take shape. "Kris is a little bit curious about where he stands long range in the Penguins plans," he told TSN Radio. "He has read reports of mine that there are people within the Pittsburgh organization that thought Paul Martin was the better defenceman last year, and there has been a sort of a hesitation on a willingness to commit to him (Letang) to a long-term deal at elite defenceman money. "Ive been told that if the Penguins couldnt reach some sort of understanding with Letang, and the belief was they wouldnt be able to sign him to some sort of deal, that Toronto has emerged as a preferred landing spot - perhaps by Letang. It would be a place that he would be willing, if dealt, to perhaps sign a long-term deal." Where possible trades are concerned, Letang himself has no final say on who his next team would be. "We havent discussed the Toronto Maple Leafs, period," Letangs agent Kent Hughes told TSN on Thursday morning. "Our focus has been on trying to conclude a deal with Pittsburgh." Rossi also made it clear that Pittsburgh remains keenly interested in signing Letang to an extension. "General manager Ray Shero has been very public since the lockout ended that he wants to retain Letang, but the Penguins have committed a lot of money to Sidney Crosby and Evgeni Malkin and they have also committed no-movement clauses to both of those players," he explained. "Theyre very deep in their system on defence." Letang had five goals and 33 assists in 35 games for the Penguins this season. Rossi noted that Pittsburghs price to deal the 26-year-old Montreal native would be quite high. "If the Penguins are going to move Letang they would want to deal with a team that could provide at least one roster player in addition to a first-round pick and a top prospect...if not two roster players in addition to a first-round pick," explained Rossi. "But I dont think were quite there yet and I dont know that they Penguins and Leafs have had any discussions."

MADRID, Spain -- The Copa del Rey trophy was supposed to be coach Jose Mourinhos parting gift for Real Madrid, or at least a consolation prize after a season that will be remembered for his abrasive antics and his teams failure to win silverware. Cheapest New Balance 574 . Instead, Atletico Madrid ended a 14-year winless run against its city rival by taking the title on Friday, coming from behind for a cathartic 2-1 win in extra time after Mourinho and his star forward Cristiano Ronaldo were sent off. Brazilian defender Miranda headed in Jorge "Koke" Resurrecions cross in the eighth minute of extra time to give Atletico its 10th Copa del Rey title and first since 1996. "This is for our fans that have suffered for 14 years," Atleticos captain Gabi Fernandez said moments before he received the trophy from Spains King Juan Carlos. "This team worked hard for this and deserved it." Ronaldo appeared to have put Madrid on its way to yet another victory over its crosstown rivals when he headed in a goal in the 14th minute. But Atletico refused to fold and Radamel Falcao set up Diego Costa to level 10 minutes before halftime. Mourinho was sent off for protesting a decision in the 76th. Likely heading back to England in the off-season, he will finish his last campaign in Madrid without a title after it lost the Spanish league to Barcelona and bowed out of the Champions League semifinals. "This is my worst season. I have never not won an important title. You can say I failed this season," Mourinho said. "With one final, a semifinal, a second-place finish, and a Spanish Supercup, for many other coaches it would have been a good season. For me its the worst." Mourinho repeated that he would decide his future with club president Florentino Perez after the season ends in early June, although there is strong expectation he will return to former club Chelsea. The final was a vibrant match but not without its ugly side. Ronaldo received a straight red card for kicking Gabi in the face in the 114th, setting off a sideline scuffle between the benches. Atletico goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois was struck in the head by an object thrown from the Santiago Bernabeu stands shortly afterward. Atletico also ended the match with 10 men when Gabi was sent off seconds before the final whistle for a second yellow card. But that came too late to prevent a victory that even the coach acknowledged was a lucky one, with Madrids shots repeatedly hitting the frame of the goal. "We had the good fortune that a champion needs," said Atletico coach Diego Simeone, who added the cup to the Europa League title won last year. "What these players have done for the past year and a half is amazing. I dont have words for it." Following years of frustration and accumulated doubt after failing to beat Madrid in 25 games since 1999, Atletico had to overcome an opening goal by Ronaldo. Ronaldo, who scored the extra-time winner that beat Barcelona and give Madrid the 2011 Copa title, looked set to play the starring role once again when he rose over a defender to head in Luka Modrics corner and net his 55th goal of the season. But the Portugal forward let the emotion of the games final minutes get the best of him, hurting his side when he left it a man down just when it most needed his help. Mourinho spent the game in the dugout after being jeered before the match by both sets of fans, with the home supporters upset at his dropping of iconic goalkeeper Iker Casillas and supposed desire to return to England. When he did emerge, he didnt last long as the referee dismissed him for vehemently protesting a foul. Atletico held firm after Ronaldos opener and were rewarded with an equalizer. Falcao held off Raul Albiols tackle, spun with the ball, and placed a perfectly weighted pass for Diego Costa to run clear and drive a left-footed strike under keeper Diego Lopez. "Incredible," Falcao said, on the point of tears. "We are so happy for this win. We have to enjoy this." Madrid came alive after Atletico equalized, and Mesut Ozil volleyed a long strike off the right post a minute from halftime. The tension increased in the second half both in the stands and on the pitch, as Madrid began to tilt the action toward Atleticos area and soon had two golden chances in the 61st when Karim Benzema fired a loose ball off the upright. Ozil then pounced on the rebound and with Courtois off line seemed sure to score, but defender Juanfran Torres blocked his shot on the goalline. In the 68th it was Ronaldos turn to curse the goal frame when he fooled the defensive wall by slotting his free kick at the edge of the box under Mario Suarez as he jumped, only to see it crash off the post. "It isnt normal to hit the post three times," said Mourinho. "You dont have to be an expert to think that the result wasnt fair, that Atletico isnt the just winner. But in football all that is forgotten, the posts, the referee, and Atletico goes down the winner." With Mourinho gone, Madrid assistant Aitor Karanka made all three changes at the start of extra time. But even though Madrid had the fresher legs, it was Atletico that surged back in front for good. Lopez saved Diego Costas back-to-back tries in the 95th, but he couldnt stop Miranda from meeting an out-swinging cross to score at the near post by nodding the ball under the goalkeeper and into the net to send the fans clad in red and white into ecstasy. Madrid wasnt done and only Courtois goalkeeping protected its lead with stops to deny Gonzalo Higuain in the 104th and then Ozil in four minutes into the second added period when he stretched to deflect his close-range shot over the bar.

NEW YORK -- John Tortorella was defiant in stating that the New York Rangers didnt take a step back when they were knocked out of the Stanley Cup playoffs in the second round. General manager Glen Sather thought otherwise and fired the combative coach on Wednesday. The fiery Tortorella was let go four days after the Rangers season ended with a Game 5 loss at Boston to the Bruins. New York had reached the Eastern Conference finals last year and was considered to be a championship contender in this lockout-shortened season. "I came up with the decision that I really needed to do something to improve our team going forward," Sather said during a conference call. "Every coach has a shelf life. Ive told every guy that Ive hired that at some point in time this is going to change. "Our goal is to win the Stanley Cup and we didnt achieve that goal this year. I had to make a decision, so I did." Tortorella was unexpectedly dismissed with one year left on his contract. In 319 regular-season games with New York, including a four-game run at the end of the 1999-2000 season, Tortorella went 171-118-1-29. He was 19-25 in the post-season, and reached the playoffs in four of five seasons after taking over as coach in February 2009. "Every time a coach gets fired, it is a surprise for me, because ultimately, we, the players, are responsible for our own play on the ice," Rangers backup goaltender Martin Biron told the Associated Press in a text message. Tortorella, hired to replace Tom Renney with 21 games remaining in the 2008-09 season, achieved some success with the Rangers but couldnt match the Stanley Cup title he earned in 2004 with the Tampa Bay Lightning. Sather said Tortorellas contract status didnt factor into the decision. "It wasnt one thing and I am certainly not going to speculate or start to criticize what happened with Torts and give you a lot of reasons why we decided to do this," Sather said. "After the analytical work that we do every year at the end of the season, trying to decide how were going to improve the team and how were going to move forward, this is a decision I made." Sather didnt name an immediate replacement, but hopes to have a new coach in place by the June 30 NHL draft in Newark, N.J. Former NHL coaches Lindy Ruff and Alain Vigneault could be candidates for New York. Sather wouldnt speculate whether anyone currently employed by the Rangers would be considered. The fate of assistant coach Mike Sullivan will be decided during the teams organizational meetings in June. "Hopefully whoever we hire has a lot of the good things that Torts had and a lot of good things that Tom Renney had," Sather said. "There are a number of good coaches around, and a lot of them have different qualities. It is a little tricky sometimes to find someone who has all those qualities, but hopefully thats what were going to have this time around. "I am certain that were going to find the right person." Last season, Tortorella led the Rangers to 51 wins -- the second-most in franchise history -- and 109 points before they were beaten in six games by New Jersey in the conference finals. He finished his Rangers tenure in fourth place on the teams career coaching wins list. The 54-year-old Tortorella got the Rangers back into the playoffs in this lockout-shortened season, and New York outlasted Washington in seven games in the first round of the playoffs before being knocked out by Boston. "I felt this was a decision that had to be made going forward," Sather said. "I tthink he was shocked, but he is a gentleman and he took it very well. New Balance 574 Gradient Pack. quot; Tortorella made curious comments on Monday when the Rangers packed up for the season, which could have led to his ouster. In his final meeting with reporters, Tortorella said his club wasnt emotionally ready to take on Boston after getting past Washington with back-to-back shutout wins when it faced elimination. "One of the things, and it falls on my shoulders, is our teams mindset going into another round," Tortorella said. "I dont think our mindset was ready to play another series and to the level you need to be at. It didnt have a playoff atmosphere. "Thats what I struggle with right now. I didnt do a good enough job in correcting and getting their mindset back to not only play at the level of a Game 7 in the first round but get ready for round 2, which is always going to be tougher." Even though the Rangers were knocked out earlier this year, Tortorella emphatically stated he didnt believe the team regressed. "I know the surrounding feeling here is that it was a negative season, a disappointing season. I dont buy it and I wont," Tortorella said. "There are some good things that happened. I dont think we took a step backward. I think this is a sideways step in our lineup and how things worked out. "We played really well our last couple of months to get in, found a way to win a big series against Washington, and against Boston I thought we competed right to the end." However, starting goalie Henrik Lundqvist disagreed with that assessment. Lundqvist is entering the final year of his contract and would be eligible to become an unrestricted free agent next summer. "It is a step back," Lundqvist said. "We were in the conference finals last year, we had high expectations on ourselves this year. It didnt go our way, so yeah it is a step back. Its tough to make it there, though. You cant just expect it to happen." Sather said he hadnt talked to Lundqvist, but added the teams plan is to sign him to a new long-term deal. The Rangers entered the 48-game season as a prime contender to win the Stanley Cup, especially after the off-season acquisition of top forward Rick Nash in a trade with the Columbus Blue Jackets. After a slow start, the Rangers rallied to a 26-18-4 record and the No. 6 seed in the Eastern Conference playoffs. But New York struggled to score in the post-season, and Nash and Brad Richards were among the biggest offenders. Nash recorded only one goal and five assists in the Rangers 12 playoff games. Richards, who has seven years remaining on a nine-year deal, was a bigger disappointment and was a healthy scratch by Tortorella in the final two games against the Bruins. Sather said that move was an organizational decision. Richards had thrived under Tortorella when they won the Stanley Cup with Tampa Bay, but he managed only one goal and zero assists in his 10 post-season games. Richards will likely also be gone from the Rangers, who can buy out the remainder of his lucrative deal and remove him from the salary cap that will go down for next season. Tortorella is the career leader in wins by a U.S.-born coach with 410. He was an assistant coach with the Rangers in the 1999-2000 season and took over for John Muckler as head coach for the final four games. Tortorella was then hired by the Lightning and he was their coach for seven seasons -- compiling a mark of 239-222-36-38 and earning the Jack Adams Award as NHL coach of the year in the championship 2003-04 season.

Im really excited and anxious to get started." Tony Fonseca, technical director for the Canadian Soccer Association, and interim national team coach Colin Miller no doubt appreciate the enthusiasm. Given that the game does not fall on one of FIFAs international match dates, many clubs were reluctant to release players to Canada. D.C. United, for example, declined to make Dwayne De Rosario, Dejan Jakovic or Kyle Porter available. The Washington-based team, which currently occupies the MLS basement with a 1-8-2 record, has a U.S. Open Cup game against the Richmond Kickers that same night. Portland captain Will Johnson wanted to play for his country but his MLS side, which faces the Wilmington Hammerheads the next night in another U.S. Open Cup game, said no. Adding to the fixture gridlock, the Montreal Impact play the Vancouver Whitecaps in the second leg of the Amway Canadian Championship final on Wednesday. The Costa Rica game, the first for the Canadian men in Edmonton since 2008, will feature Edmonton natives Tosaint Ricketts and Randy Edwini-Bonsu. Miller isnt sure what kind of team Costa Rica will send north. The Central Americans, ranked No. 48 in the world compared to No. 80 for Canada, are gearing up for a June 7 World Cup qualifying match against Honduras. But the Edmonton game is being played on artificial turf, which may be a turn-off. "Will they risk some of their big guns coming into town?" mused Miller, "I dont know, Im hearing mixed stories." Miller wont get much time with his own squad. Ricketts, for one, isnt expected in camp until Monday. "Its not ideal preparations," Miller told a media conference call, adding "Im certainly not making excuses." Miller may call up a player or two from his own FC Edmonton team, of the North American Soccer League, if some of those summoned dont make it. Other Toronto FC players called up are defenders Doneil Henry and Ashtone Morgan and midfielder Kyle Bekker. Only Henry has seen first-team action recently. The Vancouver Whitecaps provide goalie Simon Thomas while the San Jose Earthquakes furnish defender Nana Attakora. The other 12 play in Europe, including veteran midfielder Julian de Guzman. While Miller prefers a 4-4-2 formation, he said he plans to play a 4-2-3-1 scheme after talking to Fonseca, who used it in aa March national team game against Japan. Dermontti Dawson Steelers Jersey. "I want us to be aggressive ... Im not interested in sitting back, waiting to get beat," Miller said. Osorios call-up drew a smile from Torontos Nelsen. "Im really proud of the guy, because his attitude from Day 1 has been absolutely brilliant," said the former New Zealand international. "Hes a real big future star for Canada football." "Its great for the club," he added, "that the guys come through the academy and now hes a Canadian internation ths." In truth, Osorio never played for the academy. Coming from SC Toronto of the Canadian Soccer League, he signed in the fall and was only invited to Torontos main camp because several players were away with the Canadian national team in Arizona. His goal with TFC was just to earn a contact. "I did not expect any of this to happen this fast, to be honest with you," he said. While just out of his teens, Osorio has gone a long way to make his soccer dream happen. He spent two years at Club Nacional in Montevideo, Uruguay, thanks to the connections of coach Jorge Amura at the Clarkson Sheridan Soccer Club in suburban Mississauga and an impressive showing during a South American tour. He started in the Club Nacional under-19 ranks before making his way into the reserves before deciding to return home at the end of 2011. "Its funny how things work," Osorio said. "Usually people work hard here and then go away. I went away to come back. It was hard, it was a very hard road for me. But the reward is the sweetest." Upon his return, things werent all turning up daisies. At this time last year, he was out with knee tendinitis and looking for a team. "I was in panic mode," he said. But he has found a home with Toronto FC. Miller also served as interim Canadian coach in 2003-2004 and was at the helm in January for games against Denmark (a 4-0 loss) and the U.S. (a 0-0 draw). While he has made no secret of his desire to become permanent manager at some time, he says there have been no discussions with the CSA about running the team during this summers Gold Cup. NOTES -- Miller was blunt when quizzed why goalkeeper Roberto Stillo, who was in his January camp, had not got another invite. "He didnt show me enough in training to play him," said Miller. --- Canada Goalkeeper: Haidar Al-Shaibani, Nimes Olympique (France); Milan Borjan, Sivasspor (Turkey); Simon Thomas, Vancouver Whitecaps.

VANCOUVER - Activist and actor George Takei, best known as helmsman Lt. Saucony Shadow 5000 Mint . Sulu in the original Star Trek TV series, is calling for the Sochi 2014 Olympic Games to move to Vancouver. Hes the latest celebrity to weigh in on the controversy over Russias anti-gay laws and is endorsing an online petition that has garnered over 40,000 supporters. In a blog post last week, Takei notes Vancouvers facilities are still in good condition and the city would be the easiest of possible alternatives. Takei notes Russias ban on so-called propaganda of non-traditional sexual relations and its imposition of heavy fines contravenes the International Olympic Committees fundamental principals and he says such intolerance wouldnt be accepted if it were aimed at Jews, Roman Catholics or Muslims. Takei says moving the Games wouldnt seem like an outlandish proposal if the discrimination was faced by those groups. British actor and writer Stephen Fry also called for the Olympics to be moved, writing in a letter to British Prime Minister David Cameron and IOC executives asking them not to give Russian President Vladimir Putin "the approval of the civilized world."

Price opened the tournament with a sturdy 19-save performance against the Norwegians, yielding just one goal. PHILADELPHIA -- Cliff Lee is doing his best to stay in Philadelphia and turn the Phillies into a contender. Lee struck out nine in eight impressive innings, Michael Young tied a career high with three doubles and the Phillies beat the Washington Nationals 4-2 Tuesday night. Lee (9-2) allowed two runs and five hits to win his fifth straight decision. The three-time All-Star lefty lowered his ERA to 2.53 and helped the Phillies move into a second-place tie with the defending NL East champion Nationals. With the trade deadline approaching, Lee is constantly mentioned as one of the best pitchers available if the Phillies decide to unload salary. Lee already has been traded twice in July during his career and once after the season by the Phillies. "I want to win. I signed to win here," Lee said, reiterating a comment he made last week in Minnesota. "If that was misconstrued that I want to play someplace else, thats not the case. I want to play here." Phillies general manager Ruben Amaro Jr. has said hes not looking to trade Lee and rather he wants to add players to help the team make a post-season run. "If we play fundamental baseball and everyone plays up to their capabilities, we can beat anybody," Lee said. Jayson Werth and Jeff Kobernus hit solo homers for Washington. Ross Detwiler (2-5) took the loss in a game that started one hour, 10 minutes late because of rain. He allowed four runs and seven hits in six innings. "Detwiler was matching Lee pitch for pitch until the sixth," Nationals manager Davey Johnson said. "He was throwing the ball good." The Phillies have won two in a row over the Nationals after returning from a 3-7 road trip that left them four games under .500. Jonathan Papelbon worked the ninth for his 14th save a night after blowing his first of the season and then getting the win. It was 1-all going into the bottom of the sixth before Ben Revere started it with a bunt single. Young then lined an RBI double down the right-field line to give the Phillies the lead. Jimmy Rollins followed with a single and Ryan Howard was hit by pitch to looad the bases. Ua Scorpio. Detwiler struck out Domonic Brown and Delmon Young before Kevin Frandsen hit a two-run single to make it 4-1. "You come up with two outs and the bases loaded, you have to get in a good count," Frandsen said. "I got it to 2-0 and got a pitch to hit." Kobernus connected as a pinch-hitter in the eighth for his first career homer to cut it to 4-2. Werth lined a shot out to left to give the Nationals a 1-0 lead in the fourth. A Nationals fan secured the ball in the stands and wouldnt throw it back on the field as Phillies fans have been doing since Citizens Bank Park opened in 2004. The fan drew some boos that werent as loud as the ones Werth receives whenever the Nats visit. Werth helped the Phillies win the 2008 World Series and hit 36 homers for them when they won the NL pennant in 09, but he left for a $126 million, seven-year deal after the 2011 season. Michael Young hit a double to start the bottom of the fourth, advanced on Rollins sacrifice and scored on Howards sacrifice fly to tie it at 1. "Looks like his bat is a little quicker," manager Charlie Manuel said of Young. "He expects a lot out of himself and he wants to do more. Hes starting to relax." Lee nearly gave himself a lead in the fifth on a two-out single, but centre fielder Denard Span threw out Delmon Young trying to score. "I love playing behind Cliff," Michael Young said. "He loves to have the ball in his hands, he loves to compete and he can hit." NOTES: Phillies C Carlos Ruiz was activated from the disabled list after missing four weeks with a hamstring injury. He went 1 for 3. ... RHP Carlos Zambrano tossed seven scoreless innings, striking out six and allowing five hits for Triple-A Lehigh Valley. Zambrano could make his next start for the Phillies. ... Howards sacrifice fly gave him 957 career RBIs, tying him with Sam Thompson for fifth on the Phillies all-time list. ... Kobernus homer was Washingtons third by a pinch-hitter. ...

CHICAGO - Injured Chicago Bulls star Derrick Rose has started running, although coach Tom Thibodeau says hes nowhere near ready to practice. James Jones Giants Jersey . The former MVP point guard tore the meniscus in his right knee at Portland in November and was ruled out for the remainder of the season by the Bulls. He sat out last year while recovering from surgery to repair a torn anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee. Thibodeau says Rose is "nowhere close to practising," but he is able to run and perform lateral slides. The coach also repeated several times on Wednesday that Rose will miss the rest of the season.

He believes the division foes, with one of the most heated rivalries in the NFC, meeting for a trip to the Super Bowl is validation for how good the once-mocked NFC West has become. "This matchup is exactly what everybody is looking for and its an exciting one with a lot of background," Carroll said on Monday. "Im grateful its coming from our division. I think our division really made a statement this year about how good we were and lot of losses came within the division. When you look at it this is a fantastic matchup with a great opportunity for both teams." Seattle (14-3) advanced to the NFC title game after knocking off New Orleans 23-15 in the divisional round on Saturday. Its the second NFC championship game appearance for Seattle and third overall having once played for the AFC title. There is familiarity and contempt when it comes to San Francisco and Seattle. Theyve played six times since San Francisco coach Jim Harbaugh arrived before the 2011 season with the 49ers holding a 4-2 advantage. But of Seattles four losses, only one — the first — has been by more than seven points. Seattle and San Francisco split the two games this season with each winning at home. The Seahawks rolled to a 29-3 win in Week 2, and the 49ers kicked a late field goal for a 19-17 win in Week 14. Perhaps its appropriate that the series record is tied 15-15 heading into Sunday with more at stake than ever before. "It shows how good the NFC West has been over the past couple of years," Seattle quarterback Russell Wilson said. "Its going to be a great challenge for both teams. Its going to be a physical game. Its going to be a game where everybody knows each other andd everybody knows everybodys techniques so we just have to play great football and execute and be on time make the plays when we need to make them. Uani Unga Giants Jersey. " Seattle goes into the week with two lingering injury questions. The first is with wide receiver Percy Harvin, who made his return on Saturday and suffered a concussion late in the first half. Carroll emphasized Monday they will "respect the heck" out of the process for Harvin to get cleared and said Wednesday and Thursday will be the important days if hes able to get back on the field. Harvin took two big hits in the game, the first coming from Rafael Bush on the third play and drawing a 15-yard roughing penalty. Harvin also was hit by Malcolm Jenkins as he hit the field on the play he was injured. Before he was injured, Harvin showed the flashes Seattle believed it was getting in mass quantity when it traded for him during the off-season. Carroll said Harvin had no issues with his hip that was surgically repaired in August and the concern this week is strictly for his head. He added that Seattle playing on Saturday and Harvin having an extra day of recovery could be significant. "Were going to take care of Percy and make sure we do the right thing. Were not going to stretch the limits at all. Were going to be very careful here. Well do that every step of the way." Aside from Harvin, Seattle is also waiting to see if linebacker K.J. Wright will play for the first time since suffering a fracture in his right foot against San Francisco in Week 14. Wright had surgery after the injury and was back running last week. Carroll said he would be tested on Wednesday to see where he is at in his recovery. "We ran well today and over the weekend," Carroll said. "Hell come back out on Wednesday and well see where he is. He has a chance and were excited for him." Wholesale Jerseys China ' ' '

OKLAHOMA CITY -- Linus Omark scored twice for the Oklahoma City Barons in a 4-3 win over the Abbotsford Heat in American Hockey League play Friday. St. Louis Cardinals Adam Wainwright Jersey . Omark scored both goals in the first period and the Barons went on to take a 4-0 into the second period.

Instead, he thinks theyre just getting started. The Ducks have controlled long stretches of their matchup with Detroit, outshooting and outscoring the Red Wings over the first four games while getting superior goaltending from Jonas Hiller. Yet the series is even heading into Game 5 on Wednesday night at Honda Center. Second-seeded Anaheims stellar regular-season record and formidable talent havent mattered to the Red Wings, who sneaked out two overtime victories despite playing with a lead in just one of the series four games. Its a recipe for tension in the Ducks dressing room heading into a pivotal point of the first-round series. But to Getzlaf and his teammates, every element of the playoff march is a privilege, particularly after the Ducks missed the post-season in two of the past three years. "Were far from frustrated," the Anaheim captain said Tuesday after the Ducks long flight from Detroit to Orange County. "This is playoff hockey. This is the best time of the year, and were in a best-of-three series now. We always knew it was going to be a long series. ... Its been a grind throughout the year. Weve always been able to rise up to the occasion, and were hoping for that tomorrow (in Game 5)." The Ducks expect to have little trouble regrouping after they barely missed a chance to take a 3-1 series lead in Game 4 on Monday night. After Anaheim blew a third-period lead, Damien Brunners overtime goal evened the series for the Red Wings, who appeared to be on the ropes after getting shut out by Hiller in the first 100 minutes of the teams two games at Joe Louis Arena. "One goal the other way (in Game 4), and everybody is happy around here," Getzlaf said. Instead, the Ducks must find additional determination to get past their playoff-tested opponents. Anaheim will have the advantage of its favoured matchups on home ice in Game 5 and a potential Game 7, yet neither team believes matchups or friendly crowds have made much impact on this series. "Quite frankly, the matchups only work if your team is playing well and you get a lead," Anaheim coach Bruce Boudreau said. "If you dont get a lead, you may have some great defensive matchups, but youre going to have to change because you need to score goals. Well get the last change (in Game 5), which will help, because I thought the last game they were definitely trying to get (Pavel) Datsyuks line against one specific line, and we tried to change it a few times. Its a difficult thing to do." Datsyuk scored the tying goal with 6:333 left in regulation in Game 4 for the Red Wings, who finally flexed their offensive skills at home after five-plus periods without a score. Detroit Tigers Victor Martinez Jersey. . The Red Wings made an obvious effort to get more shots at Hiller in Game 4, sending pucks at the Anaheim net at every opportunity. Hiller was solid all night, but the Red Wings mentality eventually led to Brunners winning goal. "The plan was to get more shots, and shoot from worse angles," Detroits Valtteri Filppula said. "We did a good job. We were able to get pucks back in the offensive zone. I didnt think we did that enough in the previous game." The Ducks are hoping to increase their own offensive pressure on Jimmy Howard on Wednesday. Howard acknowledged he hadnt been Hillers equal in the series, giving up 12 goals on 120 shots, but he played tremendously well in Game 4 when the Ducks pressed for a possible clinching goal. "I just wanted to give the guys a chance to win," Howard said. "They deserved that. I knew I had to be better. I wanted to be better. ... In the playoffs, all it takes is a goalie to get hot, and anything can happen." Although Anaheim has generated plenty of offensive chances, the Ducks could use a goal from high-scoring Corey Perry, who won the Richard Trophy with 50 goals in 2011 during his MVP season. He hasnt found the net in the playoffs, and he missed on a couple of golden chances in Game 4. "If those went in, we wouldnt be having this conversation," Perry said Tuesday. "They had a lot of shots (in Game 4), but we had some good chances, too. Weve got to create more chances, keep plugging away, and hopefully get some ugly ones." Boudreau criticized a few unnamed Ducks after Game 4 for being "passengers" -- passive participants who didnt do enough work to help Anaheim. Major lineup changes seem unlikely after the Ducks fairly solid play throughout the series, but Boudreau is eager to get his team rolling quickly, before any struggles lead to a potential elimination game. Detroit again will be without Justin Abdelkader, who must finish his two-game suspension for a big hit on Anaheims Toni Lydman. The veteran defenceman sat out Game 4 with apparent after-effects from the collision, and Lydman didnt skate in the Ducks optional practice after travelling Tuesday. While the Ducks prepared for the pressure of Game 5, the Red Wings worked on minor adjustments for their latest trip to Honda Center, where theyve won three of their four games this season. "We have to go in their barn and steal another game," Detroit coach Mike Babcock said. Wholesale Jerseys China ' ' '
