EDMONTON -- Simeon Rottier is back on the Edmonton Eskimos roster after a meeting Tuesday with general manager Ed Hervey, who was informed by the CFL his public criticism of the offensive lineman breached the terms of the collective bargaining agreement. Josh Hamilton Authentic Jersey . Rottier was singled out by Hervey at a news conference last week and criticized for his on-field performance in a loss to Calgary on Sept. 2. The GM said he wouldnt be upset if Rottier didnt play again this season. Hervey met with Rottier before practice Tuesday and the team announced he would play Saturday when the Eskimos host Winnipeg. "From our meeting today we both mutually agreed his play must improve," said Hervey. "He knows how I feel, how competitive I want this team to be. I have a tremendous amount of respect for him as a person and a tremendous amount of respect as a player. "But it doesnt change the fact I was disappointed in the play of our team and disappointed in many players. But when it comes to our offensive line, Ive been critical of our offensive line play since the outset and we expect, and I know Simeon will echo these sentiments, we expect to keep our quarterback on his feet." Hervey was upset after quarterback Mike Reilly was sacked seven times in a 37-34 loss to the Stampeders. Rottier was then benched for the rematch last weekend, a 22-12 Calgary victory. Rottier, a five-year CFL veteran in his second season in Edmonton, said hes just "trying to move on as fast as possible and the best way to do that is just focus on Winnipeg right now." A soft-spoken, religious man who prefers to avoid the spotlight, the 29-year-old Rottier said the meeting with Hervey needed to happen. "We cleared it up and were ready to move on," he said. "We realized we both have the same goal and thats to win." Hervey, a first-year GM, said sometimes feathers have to be ruffled but hes confident his players will step up. "You rise to the challenge and rise to the top or you fold up and you go home," he said. "I dont think we have a team full of guys who want to fold up and go home." Hervey added he expected Rottier to respond in a positive manner. "Simeons a professional. Players have an enormous amount of pride that cannot be shook by words. As far as negativity is concerned, he would have had every right to say what he wanted to say. Im pretty sure if I was in his position, knowing me and my history, I would have said something." Hervey also felt the benching may ultimately benefit Rottier and the Eskimos. "I know Im going to light a fire," Rottier said. "Theres things I need to work on to help the team. For me I try to live with grace a so its not my personality to lash out." The 1-9 Eskimos sit in last place in the West Division standings. The CFL Players Association issued a statement this week that called on the league to take action against Hervey. A CFL spokesman said the league informed Hervey last week that his comments were inappropriate. There were no plans for discipline. Shin-Soo Choo Authentic Jersey .

PETERSBURG, Fla. -- The Tampa Bay Rays rode the momentum of a marathon victory to another big win. Desmond Jennings drove in four runs, Alex Cobb took a three-hit shutout into the ninth inning, and the Rays beat the Baltimore Orioles 5-1 on Saturday in a matchup of exhausted teams to maintain their lead in the AL wild-card race. "Weve got to keep things going," Jennings said. "Theres no relaxing or anything like that. Keep finding ways to win games." The first pitch came 10 hours, 56 minutes after the Rays 5-4, 18-inning win over Baltimore that ended at 2:05 a.m., a game that stretched on for 6:54 -- a record time for both teams. Saturdays game, by comparison, seemed to breeze by in 2:51. "You cant put into words how appreciative you are when youre on the mound and these guys after an 18-inning game when youre in bed sleeping while theyre putting together a win, and they come out with the same intensity for you the next day," Cobb said. "Its amazing." Cobb, in a common practice, left the ballpark early Friday night and went to bed 2 1/2 hours before the game ended. Tampa Bay (85-69) and Cleveland (85-70) hold the two AL wild-card positions, with Texas (84-70) a half-game back. The New York Yankees (82-73) overtook Baltimore, which is tied with Kansas City at 81-73 and trails by 3 1/2 games. Cobb didnt allow a hit until Steve Clevenger lined a single to right with two outs in the fifth. The Orioles had only two hits over the final 11 innings on Friday. "I think it was more Cobb than anything," Baltimore manager Buck Showalter said. "Hes got command of that changeup, to both left and right-handed hiitters. Custom Texas Rangers Jersey. . Hes impressive." Chris Davis tripled with one out in the ninth off Cobb, a fly ball David DeJesus struggled to locate in left. Adam Jones followed with an RBI single that chased Cobb, who struck out 12 and walked two. Closer Fernando Rodney completed the five-hitter. Miguel Gonzalez (10-8) gave up three runs, two hits and five walks in six innings. The right-hander had been 2-0 with an 0.92 ERA in his previous three starts at Tropicana Field. Tampa Bay went ahead in the fifth when Jose Molina and Yunel Escobar walked. One out later, Jennings hit his career-high 14th homer. Jennings added an RBI triple in the seventh and scored on Ben Zobrists single off Francisco Rodriguez. Eleven players who went the distance on Friday came back to start on Saturday: Baltimores Davis, Jones, Nick Markakis, Manny Machado, J.J. Hardy and Danny Valencia, and Tampa Bays Zobrist, Escobar, David DeJesus, Wil Myers and Evan Longoria. Baltimores Matt Wieters, who caught all 18 innings, was rested. "I was worried with the guys that went all the way, and they did fine," Rays manager Joe Maddon said. Showalter agreed. "Everybody was engaged and ready to play today," Showalter said. "No excuses."
