OAKLAND, Calif.
Filipe Luis Chelsea Jersey . -- The plastic
that was taped across the lockers in Oaklands clubhouse came down and the
champagne that was on ice went back into the cooler. The Athletics will have to
wait at least one more day before celebrating a playoff berth. A year after
capturing the AL West with a dramatic win on the final day of the regular
season, Oakland lowered its magic number to one for clinching a second straight
division title, beating the Minnesota Twins 9-1 Saturday behind the pitching of
Jarrod Parker and hitting of Alberto Callaspo. "Its something where we know weve
got to take care of what we do, and if we win its going to take care of itself,"
said Parker, who allowed one run and four hits over six innings. "Right now we
got to do what we do. We know its right there. If we handle what we do and we
win games, its going to happen." The As were prepared just in case it happened
Saturday. After Oaklands win, most of the team stayed in the clubhouse to watch
the ending of the second-place Texas Rangers game against Kansas City. About 100
fans lingered in the stadium as well, viewing the game on Coliseums two big
scoreboards. When the Rangers recorded the final out to keep their slim playoff
hopes alive, the celebration was put on hold. Oakland can still clinch at home
by beating Minnesota in the series finale on Sunday. "Its the best thing that
can happen for any team, not just for us, to qualify in your home city," said As
slugger Yoenis Cespedes, who hit his 26th home run of the season in the eighth
inning. Callaspo also homered and matched his career high with four hits for
Oakland. The As have won 12 of 15 and are 16 of their last 21, opening a
season-high 7 1/2-game lead over second-place Texas entering Saturday. "Were
swinging the bats well and adding on and hitting home runs and doing a lot of
things that we continue to do," Oakland manager Bob Melvin said. "The timing for
that seems to be pretty good." Parker (12-7), who may start the As post-season
opener, gave up one run and four hits in six innings, allowed only two runners
past first and didnt walk a batter for the fifth time this season. He gave up
eight runs against the Los Angeles Angels on Sept. 16. Callaspo matched his
career highs with four hits and had three RBIs. Kurt Suzuki also homered for the
As, and Jed Lowrie had three hits. The game started after a two-hour rain delay.
The visiting dugout was flooded and sewage backed up in the As coaches bathroom,
the third such incident at the Coliseum this season. The infield was covered by
a silver tarp before the game and workers repeatedly had to sweep big puddles of
water away. Josmil Pinto homered for Minnesota, 1-5 on its trip. Twins starter
Pedro Hernandez (3-2) gave up six runs and eight hits in two innings. "Any
mistake you make right now they jump on you," Minnesota manager Ron Gardenhire
said. "Its like piranhas with blood in the water. They add on and just keep
swinging. Every time we made a mistake they just kill you. They are really
getting after it." Callaspos two-out single in the first drove in Lowrie, and
the As opened a 6-0 lead with a five-run second. Chris Young had a sacrifice
fly, Cespedes a two-run single and Callaspo a two-run homer. Suzuki added a
two-run homer in the sixth off Liam Hendricks and Cespedes hit 26th homer in the
eighth. NOTES: Minnesota is 4-13 in its last 17 games. ... Oakland CF Coco Crisp
was in the original starting lineup, then was scratched due to the lingering
rains. ... The Twins have a winning record against every AL West rival this
season except vs. Oakland.
Asmir Begovic Jersey . Halifax beat the Saint
John Sea Dogs 7-5 on the strength of two goals apiece from Nikolaj Ehlers, Matt
Murphy and Brent Andrews. Jonathan Drouin also scored and had three assists
while Zachary Fucale made 17 saves for the Mooseheads (16-8-0), who led 6-1

Isaiah Brown Jersey . "It doesnt get any
better than that," Giambi said. "Im speechless." The Indians are roaring toward
October. Giambi belted a two-run, pinch-hit homer with two outs in the ninth
inning to give Cleveland a shocking 5-4 win over the Chicago White Sox on
Tuesday night, keeping the Indians up with the lead pack in the AL wild-card
race.

. Perhaps Carroll was so prepared for a break because he believes there is very
little the Seattle Seahawks need heading into the off-season. "I dont see
anything that we need to add. We just have to get better," Carroll said.Chicago
Black Hawks 6 Winnipeg Jets 3 – The Blackhawks now lead the season series three
games to none and dropped the Winnipeg Jets back below the .500 mark at 10-11-3
with the win. The Jets home record is now 7-6-2. The Hawks dominated the first
period, outshooting the Jets 12-2 and taking a 1-0 lead on a goal by
Patrick Kane that extended his point streak to nine. It was a power play goal
scored on Chicagos second power play of the period. The Hawks took a 2-0 lead at
3:03 of the second on a great shot from the slot by Brandon Saad, but 19 seconds
later Andrew Ladd scored his sixth to make it a one goal game. Both those goals
came with the teams playing four on four. 29 seconds later, with the Jets
penalty over and the Winnipeg now on a power play, Keaton Ellerby scored his
first as a Jet to tie the game. It was three goals in a span of 48 seconds. At
11:03 Jonathan Toews regained the lead for Chicago with his 11th of the year,
but 2:27 later the Jets again tied the game with a five on three power play goal
by Dustin Byfuglien, his sixth goal of the season. Byfuglien has now scored four
of the Jets five power play goals over the past four games. His goal streak is
at four as is his point streak (5-2-7). He has now scored six goals in the last
six games. The Jets outshot Chicago 14-8 in the second. Winnipeg started the
third with a couple of chances before the Hawks scored two 2:11 apart to put the
game away. Marian Hossa with his 10th and Ben Smith with his third regained
Chicagos two goal lead. Patrick Shaarp ended it with an empty net goal, his
eighth while Toews ended with a four-point night, his fourth career four-point
game.
Gary Cahill Jersey. nbsp;So for the second
straight game the Jets fought back to tie the game but could not get the lead.
It was another two-point night for Bryan Little, he had one Monday vs Calgary,
who now moves into third place in franchise scoring behind Ilya Kovalchuk and
Slava Kozlov. Ladd and Byfuglien also had two-point nights for the Jets. Ladd
had six shots on goal as did Byfuglien, his second straight six-shot game. “It
became evident we have a ways to go,” said coach Claude Noel. “We didnt have
enough good players, enough strong players. We lost a lot of battles.” When
asked if he was concerned about players not getting up for one of the top teams,
“yes, that would be correct,” was his response. Captain Andrew Ladd said post
game, “some guys showed up, some guys didnt.” Byfuglien had 28:20 in ice time to
lead the team. Little had a tough first period in the face-off department; he
got better as the game went on but still finished at 26%. Devin Setoguchi saw
only one shift in the third, while for Evander Kane and Blake Wheeler its now 10
games without a goal. Jets close out the three-game home stand Saturday
afternoon against Minnesota (TSN Jets, TSN 1290), and then leave on a six-game
road trip, all games against Eastern Conference opponents. Saturday could see
the return of Mark Stuart who has missed the past 10 games because of injury.
