BOSTON - Make it 13-straight seasons with at least 10 wins 200 innings for Mark Buehrle. Jack Crawford Womens Jersey . If ever they start actually putting pictures beside words in the dictionary, the Blue Jays left-handers mug will appear beside “Consistency.” Buehrle pitched six innings of one-run ball for win number 12. With one start remaining, Buehrle has thrown 200 1/3 innings for the year. The Blue Jays beat Boston 4-2. “Hes had a tremendous year,” said manager John Gibbons. “A slow start and then he kicked it in, he was Steady Eddie and hes been doing what hes done his whole career. Its pretty amazing. Hes logged so many innings over his career. Think about that. Never been on the DL, I guess. Hes a rare guy.” If Buehrle wins his final start, Thursday in Baltimore, it will mark the fifth-straight year hes finished with 13 victories. Buehrle is the White Sox all-time leader with nine opening day starts. He threw a no-hitter on April 18, 2007, pitched a perfect game against Tampa Bay on July 23, 2009 and followed up in the next start with 5 2/3 perfect innings before allowing a base runner. In all, he retired 45-straight batters, which remains a major league record. He is one of only three pitchers in major league history – Cy Young and Sandy Koufax are the others – to throw separate perfect games and no-hitters and win a World Series, all with the same team. All are accomplishments hell better reflect on once retired. For now, Buehrle takes pride in making all of his starts, year in and year out. “Thats one thing, coming into the season, that I set my goal at,” said Buehrle of 200 innings. “Like I said before, I wish it was in a better situation and we were in a better spot but I feel like I went out there and had a pretty good year so far, going deep into games and getting to 200. It was a goal of mine I set in spring training.” “Its unbelievable,” said Brett Lawrie. “Obviously hes impressive in this game with a perfect game, a couple of no hitters. Hes the man. He just goes out there and competes and just does what he can for the team and throws strikes, gets ahead and if things dont go his way he just sucks it up and moves on to the next one. True pro.” Buehrle is appreciated by teammates in the same way as R.A. Dickey. Both are notoriously quick workers. Buehrle wastes little time in between pitches, getting the ball back from his catcher and immediately toeing the rubber. A player like Lawrie, as intense as anyone, thrives on the pace. “I know it keeps everyone else in the game just from his pace,” said Lawrie. “Hes throwing strikes. Hes keeping hitters off-balance and hes getting ground balls and hes doing what he does and its just fun because it keeps all of us in the game, allows us to get in the dugout, put up some runs for him. Hes just great to play behind.” Buehrle is respected as much off the field as he is for his work in between the lines. “You get 25 Buehrles, youre probably going to have a good year,” said Gibbons. “Need more guys like that, the Buehrles and DeRosas and those guys.” Darren Woodson Cowboys Jersey . Barcelona also left injured defenders Carles Puyol, Javier Mascherano and Jordi Alba out of its squad for the trip to Glasgow. That means that Marc Bartra will probably start again in the centre of the defence alongside Gerard Pique. Charles Tapper Cowboys Jersey . Michell Burger, a woman who lives on an estate next to Pistorius gated community, said she and her husband were awoken by the screams in the pre-dawn hours of Feb. 14 last year, when Pistorius killed Reeva Steenkamp by shooting four times through a door in his bathroom. http://www.cowboysfootballgearshop.com/darren-mcfadden-jersey/ . Jeff Green scored 13 points and Kris Humphries 12 for the Celtics, who nearly blew an 18-point, second-half lead. Sullingers 20-20 was the first by a Celtics player since Kevin Garnetts first game in Boston in 2007. Garnett was dealt -- along with Paul Pierce -- to Brooklyn during the off-season.Out of favour and out of form, is Arsenals Theo Walcott facing a fight for his England place ahead of Euro 2016? Saturdays trip to Goodison Park provided some welcome relief for Arsenal, but for Theo Walcott the 2-0 win was another reminder of just how far down the pecking order he has fallen.In a must-win game for Arsenals fading title hopes, the 27-year-old was an unused substitute as rookie teenager Alex Iwobi marked his first Premier League start with a man-of-the-match performance and a crucial goal. Iwobis impact is likely to keep Walcott on the bench when Watford visit the Emirates Stadium after the international break. It appears Danny Welbeck and Olivier Giroud are Arsene Wengers favoured options up front, while Joel Campbell and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain have also been preferred on the flanks. Kane tops Power Rankings Tottenhams Harry Kane stays top of the Sky Sports Power Rankings after the weekends games. It all adds up to just three starts in 13 games for Arsenals No 14. His underwhelming recent cameos have done little to suggest he warrants more regular playing time, and a dismal display at Old Trafford last month yielded just 17 touches and six successful passes in 63 minutes on the pitch. Theo Walcott only touched the ball 17 times in 63 minutes during Arsenals 3-2 by Manchester United at Old Trafford in February It was a far cry from the Gunners 3-0 win over Manchester United at the Emirates Stadium in October, when Sky Sports pundit Graeme Souness described Walcotts electrifying performance as his best in an Arsenal shirt. The forward looked well placed for an extended run as their central striker, but an injury halted his progress just three weeks later.Fitness problems and inconsistent form have become themes of Walcotts career, and since returning from a calf injury in December he has been well below his best. His goals against Manchester City and Leicester were valuable contributions, but an overall tally of just eight in 36 appearances this season speaks volumes of his struggles. Theo Walcott rues a missed chance in Arsenals defeat to Chelsea earlier this season It also raises questions of his status within the England squad. Some observers considered him fortunate to be called up by Roy Hodgson for the upcoming friendlies against Germany and the Netherlands given his poor club form, and it is currently difficult to see where he would fit into the starting XI at Euro 2016.Assuming Hodgson persists with a front three, one of the biggest questions facing the England boss will be who he selects to lead the line. With Harry Kane, Jamie Vardy, Daniel Sturridge and Welbeck in fine form and Wayne Rooney still to return from injury, Walcotts chances of getting the nood look remote in the extreme.

While Welbeck, Sturridge and Vardy could potentially switch to the flanks, the likes of Raheem Sterling and Adam Lallana will also be hoping to start.Thats before even considering the likes of Dele Alli, Jesse Lingard and his Arsenal team-mate Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, while Hodgson might also seek to accommodate Evertons Ross Barkley if he uses Rooney at No 10. Theo Walcott in action during Englands Euro 2016 Qualifier against Estonia Walcott has plenty of work to do at both club and international level in the weeks ahead. If he is to play a meaningful role in France this summer, then he must start seizing the opportunities that come his way. The next fortnight with England would be a good time to start.Do you think Walcott deserves a place for England and Arsenal? Leave a comment below or tweet us @SkyFootball.
