EAST LANSING, Mich. Jaguars Hats . -- Josh Langford was challenged by Tom Izzo to play better at both ends of the court, and the freshman responded well enough to satisfy his hard-to-please coach.Langford had a season-high 15 points and improved his play defensively, helping Michigan State bounce back from a poor performance with a 77-57 win over Youngstown State on Tuesday night.The Spartans (6-4) were coming off a four-point win over Oral Roberts in which Izzo lamented the play of Langford publicly and privately.I knew I hadnt done a good job for Michigan State, and my teammates, Langford said. This time, I didnt care about scoring.Langford has gotten off to a slow start this season, scoring in single digits in his first nine games, in part because of a hamstring injury that made it look like he was laboring to run fluidly with his ailing left leg. Izzo said Langford isnt in pain, but also is not in good condition because of how limited he has been physically this season.Im trying to get him more shots, more playing time and get him in better shape, Izzo said.The Penguins (5-5) were led by Matt Donlan, who scored 15 of his 21 points in the first half, and Francisco Santiago, who had eight of his 13 points after halftime. Youngstown State made just 33 percent of its shots.We just dont have that third guy, Youngstown State coach Jerry Slocum said.Both teams were without their leading scorers, both of whom are from Flint, Michigan.Michigan States Miles Bridges missed a second straight game with a sprained left ankle. Youngstown States Cameron Morse sat out a third consecutive game with an injured right wrist.The Spartans led by seven points at halftime before pulling away in the second half.BIG PICTUREYoungstown State: The Penguins had enough energy to hang with Michigan State in the first half with one tie and one lead change, but they didnt have enough to keep it close without Morse. He is averaging 23.7 points.Hes a special offensive player, Slocum said.Michigan State: Izzo didnt like how any of his wings played in the previous game, and wasnt thrilled with any of them besides Langford even though senior Eron Harris and sophomore Matt McQuaid also scored in double figures. Harris had 13 points and McQuaid scored 11, but they were a combined 10 of 26 overall and 4 of 15 on 3-point shots and didnt play well enough at the other end for Izzo.When I got two freshmen playing better defense than a sophomore and a senior, thats not too settling for me, Izzo said.IN THE PAINTNick Ward had 13 points and eight rebounds a game after the freshman forward scored a season-high 24 points and matched his best game on the boards with 10 rebounds. Ward played 20 minutes, coming in and out of the game more frequently than Izzo would like because hes not in good enough shape to play more consistently.Nick has got to be able to play more than 3, 4 minutes in a stretch, Izzo said.BRING THE BUZZWithout Miles, the Spartans are lacking a playmaker that fires up the team and the crowd.He makes a lot of electric dunks, McQuaid said. We have to find that energy he brings.PUT ME IN, COACHMatt Van Dyk grabbed a career-high nine rebounds, more than doubling his previous high.Im trying to figure out if that is good news or bad news, Izzo said. We put that kid in a tough situation.The 6-foot-5, 220-pound former walk-on was needed in the post because Ward was often too tired to play more and Kenny Goins fouled out in just 15 minutes.UP NEXTYoungstown State: Plays at American on Saturday.Michigan State: Hosts Tennessee Tech.---More AP college basketball: www.collegebasketball.ap.org and https://twitter.com/AP-Top25 Julius Thomas Jersey . On Saturday night, the normally free throw-challenged centre did just that.

Lancashire 200 for 3 (Brown 62*, Buttler 57) beat Worcestershire 198 (Cox 44, Whiteley 38) by seven wicketsScorecard Jos Buttler overcame a painful blow to his left hand to smash a 20 ball half century as holders Lancashire Lightning boosted their NatWest T20 Blast qualification hopes with a seven wicket win over Worcestershire Rapids at New Road.The England player continued the form which had brought him an unbeaten 73 in the T20I against Sri Lanka at the Ageas Bowl on Tuesday as the Lightning made light work of a 199 target and triumphed with 11 balls to spare.Buttler, overlooked for the first Test against Pakistan next week, had required treatment when keeping wicket after being dealt a sharp blow by a bottom edge from Worcestershire batsman Ben Cox standing up to Luis Reece in the 17th over. He was left ringing his hand for the remainder of the Rapids innings - but showed no signs of any discomfort when he came out to open the Lightning innings.Buttler treated a near full house with a full repetoire of his strokes and was aided by a short boundary on the Cathedral side of the ground.He completed the fastest ever 50 by a Lancashire player in T20 cricket and it contained four sixes and six fours. Buttlers knock was ended on 57 when he was bowled by Kyle Abbott - a distinguished first scalp for his adopted county although he came in for his fair share of harsh treatment during the onslaught.But the damage had been done to the Rapids hopes and Lancashire stood on 98-1 at the end of the six over powerplay. The Rapids must be sick of the sight of Lancashire after being bowled out for 53 - their lowest T20 score - at Emirates Old Trafford two weeks ago.A fourth defeat in their last five matches was a big blow their hopes of reaching the quarter-finals after they hadd been the early pace-setters in the North Group. Jaguars Jerseys. After Buttlers dismissal, there was almost a feeling of an anti-climax but the outcome was never in doubt.Alviro Petersen had surveyed Buttlers carnage from the other end but his 34 from 20 balls was effective before he chipped Joe Leach to square leg.Then Karl Browns half century off 34 balls with five fours and a six ensured a smooth passage to victory for the Lightning and he finished unbeaten on 62.Worcestershire were put into bat and Joe Leach was promoted to open, a move which had proved successful when he struck 63 in the recent Royal London One-Day Cup clash with Yorkshire at Headingley.He rode his luck in reaching 14 before Joss Buttler held a steepling catch running back off Nathan Buck. Tom Kohler-Cadmore (18) struck two sixes before he was bowled by Jordan Clark after hitting across the line.Joe Clarke looked in good touch on the day he and Brett DOliveira were named in the England Lions squad for the Tri-Series with Pakistan A and Sri Lanka A.But after making a classy 25 he went for a reverse sweep against Stephen Parry and popped up an easy catch to Buttler. DOliveira (30) holed out to deep mid wicket off Luis Reece and it became 99-5 when Worcestershire skipper Daryl Mitchell (9) was bowled by Steven Croft.The only substantial stand of the innings saw Ben Cox (44) and Ross Whiteley (38) add 77 in five overs. Cox collected five fours and a six in one Parry over and Whiteley smote 20 in the next over from George Edwards.But the last five wickets went down for 22 runs after Cox was bowled by Reece and Whiteley was run out attempting a second run off Jordan Clark.

COLUMBUS, Ohio -- If there is panic and unrest in the Ohio State camp after Saturdays upset loss to Penn State, nobody was displaying it Monday.Coach Urban Meyer said he doesnt foresee any major personnel changes or adjustments in play calling. Quarterback J.T. Barrett said hes not particularly worried about the passing game, which struggled in the 24-21 loss at Happy Valley. The message: Whatever problems there were can be fixed, and all of Ohio States goals are still attainable.The sun came up, guard Billy Price said. Weve been here before. (Losing) isnt an occurrence that happens often, but we grow from this, we get tighter together and we focus in on us, and we dont worry about anything else. Because everybody is a couch coach. Everybody thinks they have the whistle, but we need to focus in on who we are.Maybe theres no panic, but there is plenty to be concerned about after Ohio State (6-1, 3-1 Big Ten) dropped from No. 2 to No. 6 in the AP Top 25 poll as the result of the loss, which was only the fifth of the Urban Meyer era.Receivers struggled to separate from defenders, and Barrett ran for his life much of the time from pass rushers his offensive line struggled to block. Barrett was sacked six times, including twice on the final drive to end the game. The run game bogged down, averaging fewer than 5 yards per carry. A blocked Ohio State field goal attempt led to a Penn State touchdown. Ohio State had a punt blocked, too.The statistics dont look bad -- 413 yards of total offense -- but the vertical passing game was kept mostly in check by unranked Penn State. Barretts longest completion was 34 yards, underscoring that tthe Buckeyes continue to struggle hitting the deep passes. Mike Adams Colts Jersey. The 168 yards rushing included a single 74-yard touchdown run by Curtis Samuel in the third quarter.Its hard to put it on one thing, Meyer said. Its a multitude of things. It has regressed a little bit. Certainly where there were plays to be made. We hook up on a couple of those plays, we win the game and were fine.Barrett acknowledged that the passing game needs to be better, but said, Im at a good place. Communication and timing could be better, he said, but he saw nothing on video Sunday that really alarmed him. He said the myriad offensive mistakes were out of character.It was a lot of little things that in games like that become big things when exploited, he said. Thats what we saw on film, things that can be corrected, and it wasnt anything game plan-wise that we werent ready for. We just didnt execute, and it showed.Ohio State returns home Saturday to play Northwestern (4-3, 3-1), which has won four out of five after playing poorly early in the season.The following week, the Buckeyes will play No. 7 Nebraska, which will be coming in either undefeated or fresh off a loss to Wisconsin. If the Buckeyes can win out, beat a likely undefeated Michigan on Nov. 26 and win the Big Ten Championship, last Saturdays stumble will be a distant memory.Were going to find out what were made of, Barrett said.---Follow Mitch Stacy at http://twitter.com/mitchstacyFor some of his other recent stories: http://bigstory.ap.org/content/mitch-stacy Cheap NFL Jerseys Cheap NFL Jerseys China Cheap Jerseys From China Cheap NFL Jerseys Authentic Wholesale Jerseys China Cheap NFL Jerseys China NFL Cheap Jerseys Cheap NFL Jerseys ' ' '

Durham 154 for 7 (Stoneman 35, van der Merwe 3-47) trail Somerset 184 (Wood 3-24, Rushworth 3-47) by 30 runsScorecard Mark Wood struck in the first over of his first-class comeback on day of contrasts at the Cooper Associates County Ground, Taunton, as 17 wickets fell on the first day of the Specsavers County Championship game between Somerset and Durham. Ted Hendricks Raiders Jersey .Having chosen to bat first, Somerset were bowled out for 184 with Durhams four-man seam attack taking all 10 wickets inside 42 overs. When Durham took to the crease, it was the Somerset spinners Roelof van der Merwe and Jack Leach who did the damage. The pair took six of the seven wickets to fall as Durham finished the day on 154 for 7.Somerset found themselves in early trouble with the bat, as Chris Rushworth and Graham Onions grabbed a wicket apiece to remove openers Tom Abell (0) and veteran Marcus Trescothick (6).Captain Chris Rogers and James Hildreth did stem the tide with a 55-run stand for the third wicket. However, when Rogers drove a Paul Coughlin delivery to point, Somerset were 61 for 3 after 13 overs.Enter Wood, who hadnt featured in a first-class contest since the second Test against Pakistan in Dubai last October. After undergoing ankle surgery earlier in the summer, he struck with his sixth delivery when Hildreth was bowled for 34, and followed that up five balls later when van der Merwe edged to Borthwick for a duck. Wood later added the scalp of Peter Trego, bowled for 16, to finish with the impressive figures of 3 for 24 in seven overs.Thankfully, for Somerset, Craig Overton pitched in with a useful 42 off 51 balls, with eight fours, and Ryan Davies 31. The wicketkeeper struck two fours and as many sixes before he departed at 166 for 8.Overton was next to go and when Tim Groenewald became Chris Rushworths third victim off the first ball of the 42nd over, Somerset were all out for 184.Durham, in reply, looked in little or no bother as Mark Stoneman (35) and Keaton Jennings put on 38 for the first wicket, off one ball short of 11 overs. However, for the visitors, it was the calm before the storm.Stoneman was dismissed by Leach at 38 for 1 and with Somerset holding their catches, the visitors capitulated, either side of tea. Scott Borthwick (16) and Jennings (14) played one or two decent shots, but with the ball turning off a length, they became van der Merwes first two victims of the day, at 58 and 65 respectively.Michael Richardson fell to Leach, four runs later, for 0 and after van der Merwe had sent back Stuart Poynter (7) at 73 for 5, Gordon Muchall (13), who had travelled down from Durham during the morning as a replacement for the injured Paul Collingwood, was trapped lbw by Leach.Coughlin, who bowled so well during the morning and early afternoon, batted well too. He helped himself to 30 and with Adam Hickey, added 39 for the seventh wicket before being bowled by Overton at 141 for 7.

Quarterback Mitch Leidner wasnt sacked in the game, and the Gophers rushed for touchdowns on all four trips inside the 20-yard line.There were Oregon State players falling over the place, Leidner said, so it was good to see the o-line knocking people on the ground.Senior right tackle Jonah Pirsig led the way with the pancake blocks. He was even singled out by the coaches during the film review of the 30-23 victory.Its always fun to be shown for doing good things. Its never fun to be shown doing bad things, Pirsig said. So I think some of the other guys kind of saw that, and they want to be that guy too. So hopefully theyll have a clip from all five of us on the offensive line this coming week.Theres more motivation, too, in the form of a cup-shaped trophy new offensive line coach Bart Miller has initiated for the player collecting the most knockdowns. At the end of the season, hell get his name on it.Its sitting down in our meeting room right now, Pirsig said. It kind of keeps guys hungry.After an overall uneven performance against Oregon State, Minnesota will have eight days between games before hosting Indiana State on Saturday.We have to come out right away and step on the gas. Facing an FCS opponent, we have to prepare the same way we would for a Big Ten school. I think in the past some of those teams havent been taken as seriously as they should, Pirsig said. We have to treat it just the way we would Ohio State or Michigan, so that we dont end up like some of the tteams that got upset in week one. Michael Crabtree Jersey. Its going to feel good regardless, but its going to feel a lot better if we beat them by 60.Here are some key angles to know about the game:THE VISITORSIndiana State, best known for the basketball program that produced NBA star and Hall of Fame forward Larry Bird from the 1979 NCAA runner-up team, made the FCS playoffs in 2014 out of the super-competitive Missouri Valley Conference. The Sycamores, who finished 5-6 last year, beat Butler 41-25 in their season opener.ONE LEVEL UPIndiana State beat an FBS opponent as recently as 2014, rival Ball State, but the all-time record against teams currently in the Big Ten is 0-15. That includes losses at Minnesota in 1989 and 1993.ONE LEVEL DOWNThe last loss by the Gophers an FCS team was in 2011 to North Dakota State, but the opportunities for humiliation at home have dwindled with the decision by conference athletic directors to stop scheduling FCS foes to boost the leagues overall strength of schedule and bids for spots in the College Football Playoff. Minnesota previously put South Dakota State on the books for the 2019 season opener, but thats the only such game left.ROOKIE STARSFour true freshmen played for the Gophers last week. Defensive end Taiyon Devers had two sacks and two forced fumbles. Wide receiver Tyler Johnson, who went to Minneapolis North High School just five miles west of the university, caught three passes for 31 yards and provided a key block on Leidners first rushing score.Hes already made a ton of growth from our first throwing session in the summer, Leidner said. I would have never been able to guess that he would be able to play this year.INJURY REPORTWide receiver Rashad Still (shoulder) will miss the next month, but wide receiver Eric Carter (ankle), running back Shannon Brooks (foot) and tight end Brandon Lingen (shoulder) could all return on Saturday after sitting out the opener.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. John Hannah Super Bowl Jersey . -- The Tennessee Titans, a franchise that has struggled in recent years, find themselves at a turning point at the very same moment the Cleveland Browns are hoping to find themselves.Both teams have new coaches coming off an offseason filled with change in the front office and on the roster. Yet the Titans (2-3) start a three-game homestand Sunday needing a victory for their first winning streak since the end of the 2013 season. The Browns (0-5) are trying to avoid their first six-game skid to open a season since losing the first seven in 1999 as an expansion team.The Titans insist they arent in position to believe theyre better than the Browns.I mean, weve won five games in the last two years, so I dont think were (at a) standpoint to look at a team and judge them by their records, cornerback Jason McCourty said.Titans coach Mike Mularkey, given the job permanently in January after taking over last November on an interim basis, has had one simple message coming off a 30-17 road win at Miami.Its not about home, two in a row, the fans, the Browns have beaten us twice, Mularkey said. Its about weve got to win this football game. Win this game.Browns coach Hue Jackson has been scraping together his roster, with injuries forcing him to start three different quarterbacks and play five overall, and 10 starters having missed time. Cleveland lost 33-13 to New England last week, and this is the Browns fourth road game of the season, with a visit to Cincinnati next.But the Browns have won five of the last seven against Tennessee.I wasnt part of that and this is a new team and a new year, Jackson said. I think well come in ready to play. Obviously, our guys are working hard. Were eager and hungry for the opportunity and grateful for the opportunity to come to Tennessee and play a game against a good football team.Here are some things to know about the Browns and Titans:MURRAY ON THE RUN: Tennessees DeMarco Murray looks like the running back who won the NFL Offensive Player of the Year in 2014. He ranks second in the NFL with 461 yards rushing and has at least 114 yards or more in two of the past three games. He leads the NFL with 33 first downs and has five TDs combined rushing and receiving. The Titans rank second in the NFL in rushing per game, averaging 148.6 yards, with Marcus Mariota coming off his best game running -- 60 yards in Miami.KESSLER BACK AT QB: The Browns will start rookie quarterback Cody Kessler for a fourth straight game, even though the third-round draft pick out of Southern California hurt his chest last week in the first quarter. He was replaced by Charlie Whitehurst, who injured his knee in the fourth quarter and was released two days later.SACK FLOODGATES: Titans linebacker Brian Orakpo already has six sacks this season for the best start of his career, and now some of his line mates believe theyve finally broken through themselves. Tackle Jurrell Casey and linebacker Derrick Morgan got their first sacks of the season last week in Miami and joined Orakpo in finishing with two each. Tennessee is now tied for eighth in the NFL with 12 sacks.BROWNS LEFT SIDE: Protecting the quarterback could be an issue for Cleveland. Starting left guard Joel Bitonio sprained a foot last week and is out indefinitely, while Pro Bowl left tackle Joe Thomas did not practice Wednesday because of a knee issue. Thomas has started all 149 games in his career and has not missed an offensive snapped since being drafted in 2007. His consecutive snaps streak of 9,262 is the longest active streak in the league.HORTON CONNECTION: Browns defensive coordinator Ray Horton had that same job the past two seasons with Tennessee and left the Titans in January after interviewing for the head coaching job hours before Mularkey was hired . Mularkey made Dick LeBeau his defensive coordinator and also changed the offense. Mularkey says he knows how Horton approaches and calls a game. I dont know how much difference its going to make in the game, Mularkey said.---AP Sports Writer Tom Withers in Cleveland contributed to this report.---Online:AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and AP NFL Twitter feed: https://twitter.com/AP-NFLFollow Teresa M.

RIO DE JANEIRO -- Georgias Allison Schmitt and Melanie Margalis earned gold medals and Brittany MacLean picked up a bronze as members of 4x200-meter freestyle relays on Wednesday at the Olympics.Schmitt joined basketball standout Teresa Edwards as the top Georgia performers all-time with four Olympic gold medals each. Schmitt extended her own school mark as she picked up her eighth Olympic medal (four gold, two silver and two bronze medals) in her third Games.Serving as one of the teams captains, Schmitt led off the United States relay - which also featured Leah Smith, Mya DiRado and Katie Ledecky - to open Wednesdays finals. The relay stopped the clock in 7:43.03 to outdistance Australia (7:44.87). Schmitt anchored the gold medal-winning relay at the 2012 Games in London.I had no doubt, Schmitt said. I had complete faith in these three girls. I was just going out to try my best. ... We like to have fun. A happy swimmer is a fast swimmer.Its fantastic to have Schmitty on the team this year and see her swimming so well, Ledecky said. I dont know, I think we were all swimming for Schmitty.I knew Schmitty was going to throw down an awesome leg, Smith said. I wwatched her in prelims and she fired all of us up. Stephen Gostkowski Jersey. In Wednesdays preliminaries, Schmitt led off and Margalis swam the third leg as the United States posted a time of 7:45.37. Margalis earned the gold medal, her first, by virtue of competing in the prelims.Schmitt and Margalis ended their Georgia careers in 2013 and 2014, respectively.MacLean came in third on Canadas 4x200-meter freestyle relay in 7:45.39 to earn the bronze, her first Olympic medal. It was also Team Canadas first-ever medal in the 4x200-meter freestyle relay. MacLean, who swam the third leg on Thursday, is appearing in her second Olympics for Canada. She capped her Georgia career in 2016 by leading the Lady Bulldogs to their third NCAA title in four seasons.In the 200-meter butterfly finals, Hali Flickinger of the United States came in seventh in 2:07.71. Like MacLean, Flickinger finished her Georgia career in 2016.Competing for Canada, rising senior Chantal Van Landeghem came in 10th in the 100-meter freestyle. Van Landeghem reached the wall in 54.00.

The Lightning are 2-0 so far on a four-game road trip, giving the club five straight wins as the guest and improving Tampas away record this season to 11-8-2.Mark Warburton insists he will not buckle under pressure as the Scottish Cup semi-final against Celtic approaches. The Rangers manager refuted suggestions he will not be able to cope when the Glasgow rivals meet at Hampden on Sunday, April 17, live on Sky Sports.Former City trader Warburton believes he has faced plenty of tough and tense situations both in and out of the game, to prepare him for the encounter at the national stadium. You cant turn round and say you are ready for it but Im also somewhat bemused by people who say you wont be able to deal with it, said the former Brentford manager.The fact is weve dealt with it all season. Its another game of football. We understand the significance of it. Its a highly important game for the fans and its a semi-final. I get all of that. Warburton will go head-to-head with Celtic boss Ronny Deila for the first time But if you cant deal with that, dont be in the business. My background is one thats involved many pressurised situations in and out of football. If I cant deal with it, I shouldnt be doing the job, simple as that.Warburton was responding to comments from former Celtic boss Neil Lennon, who said that nothing will prepare Warburton for his first taste of the Glasgow derby.Lennon also suggested Rangers lack the physicality to get the better of Ronny Deilas side, believing Celtic will be too strong on the day. But Warburton insists he does not fear being outmuscled. If I cant deal with it, I shouldnt be doing the job, simple as that. Mark Warburtonn, Rangers manager As with all pundits, they are entitled to their opinion, he added. Kawann Short Jersey. So whatever Neil or anyone else may think, that is down to them. Im not going to criticise that.Football is a game of opinions and thats the beauty of the sport, it incites so much opinion. But the fact is that we are very confident in our side and how we have fared this season. Our physicality in our minds is not in question.However, the match is not at the forefront of the Englishmans concerns at the moment, with Rangers tantalisingly close to securing their place in the Scottish Premiership. Rangers could have more cause to celebrate if they seal the Scottish Championship title on Saturday A win at Raith on Saturday, coupled with a defeat for Hibernian at St Mirren would confirm Rangers as Scottish Championship winners, and seal the clubs place in the top flight.Raith are on a very good run of form right now so we need to go there and deliver a performance, otherwise well get hurt, he said. The focus is very much on what we do. What happens away from us we cant control but what we can control is our own performance.On Saturday and Tuesday (against Dumbarton), the lads have the opportunity to take the club back to the top tier of Scottish football, so they are well aware of the significance and the expectations of the fans, the desire to get Rangers back to where they need to be.They recognise the opportunity but theyve got to enjoy it. We dont want to limp over the line. We want to finish in a convincing manner.  Also See: Rangers video Rangers fixtures Rangers stats Sky Bet Club Cheap NFL Jerseys Cheap NFL Jerseys China Cheap Jerseys From China Cheap NFL Jerseys Authentic Wholesale Jerseys China Cheap NFL Jerseys China NFL Cheap Jerseys Cheap NFL Jerseys ' ' ' 

Here we are again: With more than a little déjà vu, North American clubs are 6-3 after the first week of games at Worlds. Len Dawson Youth Jersey . Its the same three teams -- Team SoloMid, Counter Logic Gaming and Cloud9 -- and the same overall regional record with the second round-robin looming.Last year, the North American trio crashed and burned in the second week of Worlds, finishing 0-10 with none of them making it out of the group stage. While itd be hasty to say, Dont be worried. Everything will be fine, there are differences that make the 2016 North American trio different from its predecessor, even if the logos, team uniforms and a majority of the players are the same.There is hope, North America.Team SoloMidLast year: 1-2 This year: 2-1The easiest team to calm the nerves of North American hopefuls, TSM is a completely different group from that of the 2015 World Championships. Last year, S?ren Bjergsen Bjerg was saddled with the responsibility to not only output almost all of his teams damage but be the main shotcaller as well. The funny thing about 2015 TSM, though, is that they were unexpectedly promising for large parts of the first week. In all three of its games in the first week, TSM, with better, decisive shotcalling, could have exited with a 3-0 record. TSM had leads going into the mid-game of all three contests that first week, and it was the miscommunication from the team members and porous play around objectives like Baron that plagued the squad.In 2016, Bjergsen has an upgraded team around him in almost every position, and most importantly, when looking back at last year, hes been given help with the shotcalling in the form of his star AD carry Yiliang Doublelift Peng. Although the team lost to Chinas Royal Never Give Up in the opening match after gaining a lead in the early game, it isnt really comparable to last years blunders. Mispositioning and getting caught out is what led to RNG winning the game over TSM, which is something that can be easily fixed. TSM lost last year due to a fractured team that couldnt get on the same page, and that is something much harder to fix, especially in the middle of a tournament playing against the top teams in the world.TSMs win against Samsung Galaxy at this years World Championships is what should give TSM fans (and North Americans) hope that this is a team that can get out of the Group of Death.During an interview with Flash Wolves ace jungler Karsa, I asked him why his team continually has trouble with North American teams, and he answered: With North American teams, once they get an advantage in the game, theyre really good at snowballing atop of it and capitalizing on [chances]. Thats what the North American teams at this tournament have shown at their brightest moments. For TSM, that was in the game against Samsung where it got a lead early and continually nurtured its lead in a healthy fashion before watching it become a blazing fire of a blowout. TSM were up almost 4k gold leaving the early game, near 9k by the 20-minute mark, and then almost 12k gold by 30-minutes.The Baron, which plagued TSM throughout the 2015 World Championships, was taken a little after the 30-minute mark, and the North American champion had the game won before the clock hit 34 on the timer. Explosive, clinical, and efficient. Were not talking to the level of SK Telecom T1 or Samsung White at their peak, but TSM, when it plays like it did against Samsung, is a problem for any team in the competition, including any of the South Korean or Chinese teams.Cloud9Last year: 3-0 This year: 2-1Cloud9, as weird as it sounds, look stronger going into Week 2 at a 2-1 record -- one of those wins coming from the opposing team showing its ineptitude to close the game -- than it did last year when it was 3-0 when the second round-robin began.Last year, C9 (and CLG) used a quick turret pushing strategy in the first week of the tournament centered around the likes of Tristana and a mid laner like Veigar or Azir. The strategy worked, the teams didnt adapt, and the two teams, especially C9, profited from the clubs slow on the uptake. Going into Week 2 of that year, I thought that C9, a team known for its ability to pull rabbits out of their hats in terms of strategy, would have something new to surprise opponents. C9 didnt, and it lost four straight games, getting knocked out of the tournament.Regardless, Cloud9 that year was never supposed to be at the World Championships. The teams roster was like a leaky boat plugged up with a lot of various objects found around the house. For a while, the boat was able to sail next to the other prized boats in the sea, yet, when the conditions started to test the craftsmanship, the bandages blew off, and the vessel sank.This year, however, Cloud9 is actually sturdy. The team wasnt thrown together at the last minute, and it has a starting five that has consistently gotten better as the summer split progressed. The enforced standard lanes has let them focus more around its star top laner Jung Impact Eon-yeong, a former world champion and a force in the early game with threats in all three lanes.C9s game against I May was similar to TSMs dissection of Samsung Galaxy, albeit a bit less impressive. It got the lead through an impressive early game kick started with a gank in the top lane, enabling Impact. C9 snowballed it from there, taking victories across the map while controlling the objectives. After giving up an early dragon around the eight minute mark, C9 was spotless throughout the mid game, not allowing the Chinese team to knock down its first tower until after the 30-minute mark.Despite Flash Wolves bungling its game against C9 in the middle of the matchweek, C9 isnt winning with gimmicks this time around. The big matchup for the boys in blue and white will be the rematch against the very same FW. If it can get Impact a winning matchup and get him (and the team) ahead early, the teams composure and wherewithal to close out a game should lead them to at least a second-place seed leaving Group B. Issue is, if the Wolves can grapple away the lead early out of the laning phase and get its fast-tempo pace going that even stymied SKT T1, C9 cant count on another 70-minute game where the Wolves cant unlock the opposing base.Counter Logic GamingLast Year: 2-1 This Year: 2-1CLG, like C9, abused the fast-pushing strategy before being figured out in Week 2. This year, the Mid-Season Invitational finalist appears to be a better prepared and well-functioning team across the board.In all three games CLG has played this tournament so far, it has had a chance to win. Its two wins were, no doubt, controlled and punched away accordingly. CLG got leads against G2 Esports and the ROX Tigers through nifty ganks in the bottom lane. Against G2 Esports, it was a perfectly timed flank by Darshans Poppy that started CLGs snowball, and it was Huhis Aurelion Sol roam against the Tigers that began rolling it in that game.Although on paper CLG lack the individual firepower C9 and TSM possess pound-for-pound, it makes up for it in intuition and impeccable teamplay. In CLGs wins against G2 and ROX, both games ended under 37-minutes, and the North American club did its due diligence in gathering vision, setting up objectives, and never letting the opponent have an opportunity to pull a fast one on them. G2 was only able to manage a meager three turrets (no mid tower) with no other objectives, and ROX was only allowed to grab a single turret (again, no mid tower) and one dragon for its trouble. In both of its wins, CLG didnt allow the opposing team to knock down its mid tower, and thus blocked any easy entry point for its opponent to access its jungle.When Flash Wolves lost to CLG last year, it still managed six turrets, three dragons, and one Baron. Even Pain Gaming, who lost in a quick 30-minutes, considerably shorter than either G2 or ROX this year, got four towers and a dragon before losing. CLG were winning games, but it wasnt controlling them.This year, like TSM and C9 have in their marquee victories, CLG is taking control and playing like a team worthy of the quarterfinals. Thats not to say all three will get out -- SSG and RNG are formidable oppositions for any team in the tournament -- but unlike the disaster of 2015, the three North American teams are equipped to advance past the group stage.No gimmicks. No one man shows. No one-trick pony strategies.Win or lose, North America will go into Week 2 with legitimate contenders for one of the first times since the early days of League of Legends. Well see how far that gets them. Spencer Ware Jersey .

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

SAN FRANCISCO -- With his team chasing the Chicago Cubs for the best record in baseball, Washington manager Dusty Baker is willing to do whatever it takes to keep the Nationals close -- even if it means pulling closer Jonathan Papelbon in the ninth inning. Donnie Shell Steelers Jersey .While it might not be the move he cherishes, its one Baker may make even more down the stretch as Papelbon struggles through one of his roughest stretches of the season.Ryan Zimmerman had two hits and scored a run, Trea Turner added two hits and an RBI and the Nationals beat the San Francisco Giants 4-2 on Thursday night in the opener of a key four-game series between division leaders.Papelbon went into the game with 19 saves and retired one batter in the ninth before getting pulled in favor of Shawn Kelley after giving up a single and walk.Im sure he felt badly but I had to do what I had to do to win the ballgame, Baker said of his closer. Im sure that Pap didnt like it but Im sure that he understands.Papelbon has struggled over the past week. He took the loss Sunday against San Diego and again on Tuesday in Cleveland before being unable to close out the win in San Francisco.The object is to win the game, Papelbon said. Do what you can do to win the game.Bryce Harper doubled in a run while Anthony Rendon had two hits to help the Nationals beat All-Star game starter Johnny Cueto (13-3) in Bakers return to AT&T Park. Baker won 840 games as the Giants manager from 1993-2002.San Francisco scored a run in the ninth to pull within 4-2 before Kelley struck out Angel Pagan with the bases loaded to end it and get his fifth save.I was just told to be ready, Kelley said. I had plenty of time to get loose. Basically was just sitting down there waiting to see Dusty poke his head out. When he did I knew it was my turn.The two teams went into the game with identical 59-42 records before Washington won to join the Chicago Cubs (61-40) as the only teams in the majors with at least 60 wins.Nationals starter Tanner Roark (10-6) allowed one run over seven innings, striking out three and walking three. He also singled in a run as part of a three-run second inning.Sammy Solis pitched the eighth while Papelbon, Oliver Perez and Kelley combined to retire the final three batters.Washington jumped on Cueto early with four consecutive two-out singles and a walk in the second inning. Danny Espinosa, Roark and Turner each had an RBI in the inning.Cueto lasted only five innings, matching his shortest outing of the season. The right-hander allowed eight hits and three runs with three strikeouts and two walks.The Giants went into the day hitting .157 with runners in scoring position since the break and squandered a big opportunity in the fourth after Brandon Crawfords one-out triple.
