PITTSFORD, N.
Matt Jones Redskins Jersey .Y. -- The Buffalo
Bills arent giving up on re-signing star safety Jairus Byrd to a long-term
contract. Team president Russ Brandon told the Associated Press on Monday that
its his intention to take another run at reaching a multiyear deal with Byrd
next off-season despite a failure to secure one this year. Brandon called the
prospects of re-signing Byrd as being "absolutely" realistic even though
negotiations with the two-time Pro Bowl player have reached a stalemate.
"Obviously, our goal was to have that done by July 15. We didnt meet that goal,"
Brandon said, referring to an NFL-imposed deadline that passed to reach a
multiyear deal. "But well pull up our boot straps, and as soon as we can start
on that again, we will." Under league rules, re-opening talks on a long-term
deal will have to wait until this seasons over. The more pressing concern is
when -- or if -- Byrd intends to report to the Bills this year. Byrd remains
unsigned because he has yet to accept the one-year, $6.9 million offer the Bills
in designating him their franchise player in March. The Bills applied the
designation to retain Byrds rights and prevent the fourth-year player from
becoming an unrestricted free agent. Byrd would once again be eligible to become
an unrestricted free agent in March, and the Bills would once again have the
option to apply the franchise tag. Brandon provided few updates on Byrds status
with the Bills into their second week of training camp in suburban Rochester. He
said the two sides have "open lines of communication," but didnt know the last
time Jim Overdorf, the teams chief negotiator, last spoke with Byrds agent,
Eugene Parker. And Brandon couldnt predict when Byrd might finally report. "I
hope he walks in in 10 minutes," Brandon said. "Our goal is to have Jairus back
in camp. We cant wait for him to get here. Well welcome him with open arms."
Parker has declined comment on the status of talks and when he expects Byrd to
report to the team. Brandon said there is "absolutely zero contention" between
the two sides, and noted that both are simply exercising their rights under
league rules. As for the failure to reach a long-term deal this off-season,
Brandon characterized it as "two sides not completely on the same page for where
we wanted to be by July 15."

. After taking two big hits this week -- losing at home and dropping
back-to-back games for the first time all season -- Indiana struck back by
playing its most complete game of the year.ANAHEIM, Calif. -- Staring at a
seven-run deficit with Seattles Felix Hernandez on the mound Thursday night, the
Los Angeles Angels could have been excused for starting to think about the
weekend. Instead, the Angels chipped, scrapped, surged, charged -- and
eventually eked out a stunning victory. Alberto Callaspo drew a bases-loaded
walk to bring home the tiebreaking run with two outs in the eighth inning, and
the Angels rallied from that huge early deficit for a 10-9 victory over the
Mariners. Mike Trout matched his season high with four hits for the Angels, who
trailed 8-1 after four innings. Peter Bourjos homered and had three hits, and he
scored the tying run in the eighth during Los Angeles final rally for its sixth
win in eight games. Nearly everybody in the Angels lineup contributed to their
monumental comeback, the second-largest in club history. After three months of
mostly discouraging play, Los Angeles is on a decent roll -- but nobody expects
a rally like this one. "Its a great effort from our club," Angels manager Mike
Scioscia said. "Youre very rarely going to get down that much to a pitcher of
Felixs calibre and come back. Our guys just did a great job. You just couldnt
piece it together any better than they did." All of the good feelings in Los
Angeles clubhouse were matched by the gloom in Seattle, which dropped three of
four in the series. Kyle Seager matched his career high with four hits and drove
in the tiebreaking run in the eighth during a gut-wrenching loss for the
Mariners, who couldnt protect a huge lead even with Hernandez on the mound.
"Tonight was exciting, just going back and forth the whole night," Trout said.
"We got down seven (runs) early, and we just kept scratching out runs. We were
just having fun. The excitement is there. Were all into the game." Mark Trumbo
hit a three-run homer while the Angels tied a single-game club record with seven
consecutive hits during a five-run fifth inning. Albert Pujols had two hits and
drove in the tying run on a broken-bat single in the sixth. "I just blew the
lead," said Hernandez, who yielded 12 hits and seven runs in five innings. "Its
all my fault. Nobody else. Just me. Theres no excuses. Actually, my fastball was
fine, but I left the pitches up a little bit. They were being aggressive, and
they scored some runs. There were a lot of broken-bat base hits, but it was my
fault. But Im not thinking about it." Seager had a homer and two doubles during
the first four-hit game by a Seattle plaayer this season.
Adam Hayward Redskins Jersey. Josh Hamilton
couldnt catch his sinking liner to right in the eighth, and Brendan Ryan scored
to put Seattle up 9-8. But Bourjos singled, stole second, advanced on a throwing
error and tied it on Erick Aybars RBI single off Carter Capps (2-2). Seattle
walked Trumbo to load the bases with one out, and Ryan made a diving stop to
force out Trout at the plate before Yoervis Medina walked Callaspo on four
pitches. "Its a tough game from an emotional standpoint," Seattle manager Eric
Wedge said. "You take that big lead and do a lot of good things, and then you
give it back. I was proud that we fought back and scored a run and took the lead
back, but they fought right back, too. Thats why you play for nine innings, man.
The bullpen just didnt quite get it done. Obviously, we had to go to them
early." Ernesto Frieri pitched the ninth for his 17th save. Scott Downs (1-2)
gave up Seagers double, but also got one out in the eighth. Tommy Hanson yielded
six hits and seven runs during the second-shortest start of his career, getting
chased by Seattle without getting an out in the third. But Hernandez couldnt
finish despite having a 3-0 lead before he took the mound and an 8-1 advantage
in the third. Trout had three hits off King Felix, improving to 14 for 30 in his
short career against Seattles star right-hander. "Every now and again, you see
that he is human," Wedge said. "He was king of all over the place tonight." The
Angels trailed 8-2 when Bourjos led off the fifth with his third homer of the
season. The speedy outfielder hadnt homered since April 15 after missing 38
games with a hamstring injury. The next six Angels also got hits, with Pujols
driving in a run before Trumbo cleared the bases with a homer off the fake rock
pile in centre field. Danny Farquhar intentionally walked Trout in the sixth to
get to Pujols, who poked a broken-bat single into centre to score Bourjos with
the tying run. NOTES: Despite making a sharp running catch at the wall in the
ninth inning, Hamilton had yet another miserable game, going 0 for 4 with an RBI
in the $125 million sluggers second game in the No. 7 slot in manager Mike
Scioscias order. He grounded into yet another double play in the seventh inning,
and struck out with the bases loaded to end the eighth. ... The Angels set the
club record with seven consecutive hits Aug. 31, 2002 against Baltimore. ...
Angels RHP Dane De La Rosa had four strikeouts in two innings of one-hit relief.
