A panel of ESPN baseball experts is forecasting Washington Nationals starter Max Scherzer to comfortably win the NL Cy Young. Henrik Zetterberg Red Wings Jersey. In the AL, the voting was much tighter, with Rick Porcello, Corey Kluber and Justin Verlander all getting significant support. Which one will win when the honors are announced Wednesday between 6 p.m. and 7 p.m. ET?We had 27 experts pick who they think will win each award. The voting breakdown for the awards is listed below, as well as the votes of our experts.Who will win the AL Cy Young Award?1. Rick Porcello Boston Red Sox VOTES: 11After a disastrous first season in Boston, Porcello bounced back, going 22-4 with a 3.15 ERA in 2016. He finished in the top five in the AL in ERA (5th at 3.15), WHIP (2nd at 1.01), innings pitched (4th at 223) and WAR (5th at 5.0).2. Corey Kluber Cleveland Indians VOTES: 9With injuries to Carlos Carrasco and Danny Salazar, the Indians needed Kluber to be an ace in 2016, and he was. Kluber finished 18-9 and inside the top five in strikeouts (5th with 227), ERA (4th at 3.14) and WAR (2nd at 6.5).3. Justin Verlander Detroit Tigers VOTES: 7Verlander had his best season since 2012, posting an AL-best WHIP of 1.00 and finishing 16-9. He also led AL pitchers in WAR (6.6) and strikeouts (254), and was second in ERA (3.04).Who will win the NL Cy Young Award?1. Max Scherzer Washington Nationals VOTES: 20If you want league-leading numbers, Scherzer has them, as he topped the NL in wins (20), starts (34), innings (228 ?) and the majors in Ks with 284. Add his record-tying 20-strikeout game on May 11 (against his old team, the Tigers), and youd think Scherzer has the right combo of feats and highlights to earn his second Cy Young Award -- which would make him the sixth pitcher to win it both leagues (joining Roger Clemens, Pedro Martinez, Randy Johnson, Gaylord Perry and Roy Halladay).2. Jon Lester Chicago Cubs VOTES: 4The Cubs veteran lefty was second to Scherzer in wins, second to Hendricks in ERA and third in the NL in OPS against. In that sense, Lesters case is a combination of some of the merits of the other two, without being as strong, but perhaps his best talking point was being the No. 1 starter on the best team in the league, leading the Cubs in starts and innings pitched.3. Kyle Hendricks Chicago Cubs VOTES: 3Hendricks did more than provide hope for finesse right-handers with a 16-win season. He dominated in 2016, winning the MLB ERA title with the best single-season mark (2.13) by anybody not named Kershaw, Greinke or Arrieta in the past 10 years. Add in his MLB-best 188 ERA+, lowest OPS against (.583) and lowest well-hit average allowed (.089) among ERA title qualifiers, and he clearly belongs in the conversation. Custom Red Wings Jersey . PETERSBURG, Fla. Justin Abdelkader Red Wings Jersey . -- The Portland Timbers and Real Salt Lake played to a 0-0 tie Saturday night that left the top of the Western Conference standings unchanged. http://www.detroitredwingshockeypro.com/dylan-larkin-hockey-jersey/ . - Levi Browns tenure at left tackle for the Pittsburgh Steelers is over before it even began. ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. -- The Boston Red Sox are 16-15 in one-run games this season, but John Farrell wants to see more like the 2-1 victory his team pulled out over the Rays on Tuesday.When you have to execute from the mound and defensively, late in games, with minimal margin for error, I think these are very good tests for us as we get this portion of the schedule, particularly on the road, Farrell said. To come through as we have defensively, thats the key.Boston (71-54) has won 10 of 12 -- including three one-run wins -- and will hope to continue that momentum in the third game of a four-games series at the Rays on Wednesday. The pitching matchup suggests it might not end up that close after all.The Red Sox will start RHP Rick Porcello (17-3, 3.22 ERA), who is not only tied for the major league lead with 17 wins, but is coming in hotter than that. Boston has won 11 of his last 12 starts, and in his last five hes 4-1 with a 2.08 ERA with 29 strikeouts and only four walks.Whats more, hes owned the Rays this season, going 3-0 with a 2.25 ERA in three starts against Tampa Bay, striking out 22 and walking four.Thats a stark contrast to Rays starter Matt Andriese, who has struggled since rejoining the Tampa Bay rotation after the trade deadline. The Rays have lost all four game hes started, and hes seen his ERA swell from 2.75 to 3.66 during that span.Andriese opened the season 6-0 and pitched well when he was shifted to the bullpen, but hasnt regained his oold form as a starter. Jimmy Howard Jersey. Hes stretched himself out to 96 pitches in his last outing but that hasnt translated to more than 5 1/3 innings in any of his starts.The silver lining is that hes pitched well against Boston. He hasnt allowed a run in 9 2/3 innings covering three appearances, including a six-inning gem last year in his only start against the Red Sox in which he allowed one baserunner in a victory.The Rays are 30-5 this season when holding opponents to two runs or fewer after Tuesdays setback, with starter Chris Archer lamenting that every nights not going to be a flawless outing after earning his major league leading 17th loss of the season.The margin for error in a one-run game is so little, as Kevin Kiermaier learned when he was thrown out at third trying to make a double a triple with one out n the eighth inning. Instead of the tying run in scoring position, he was out and the Rays wouldnt get closer than first base the rest of the night.Just kind of in shock over there at third base, how I got thrown out, Kiermaier said of Mookie Betts assist from deep right field. I watched the video after the game, and saw he made an absolutely perfect throw. I always want to put pressure on defense, and its going to take a perfect throw to throw me out. I would not change anything. Id do it again. I tip my hat to him. 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 ' ' '

 250 is perhaps 350 with the red ballng.
With three league games left in the T20 competition, Lions kept themselves in contention for a playoffs berth with a five-run victory over Warriors in Durban. Dale Hunter Capitals Jersey . Lions defended 157 to rise to third, while Warriors remained in second place, seven points ahead.Lions were off to a flier after Dominic Hendricks and Rassie van der Dussen put on 76 for the first wicket. Hendricks was the quieter of the two, contributing a 27-ball 25, while van der Dussen scored an even 50, his 10th in T20s, off just 25 balls. They were dismissed in consecutive overs, leaving an increasingly fragile looking middle-order to mount a competitive total.Lions were unable to keep pace with the openers as Colin Ackermanns offspin sparked a middle and lower-order collapse. They lost their last eight wickets for 48, with no batsman between Nos. 3 and 10 contributing more than 17, as the innings ended with a ball remaining.Viljoen and left-arm spinner Bjorn Fortuin put Warriors in trouble early in their chase. They were reduced to 31 for 3 in the fifth over before Colin Ingram and Christiaan Jonker mounted a recovery. They shared a 59-run fourth-wicket stand, but then spin turned the match again as legspinner Eddie Leie took three wickets in five balls to reduce Warriors to 95 for 6 in the 14th over.Andrew Birchs 30 off 19 balls kept Warriors in the hunt, leaving them with 34 to get off the last three overs, with three wickets in hand. They plundered 15 runs off the 18th over, but only eight came off the 19th. With 11 needed in the final over, Dwaine Pretorius took a wicket off the first ball, and conceded just six off the next four deliveries. With six needed off the final ball, Pretorius bowled Birch to secure a tense win.Kevin Pietersens 51-ball 79 went in vain as Dolphins suffered a seven-wicket defeat to Cobras, who achieved their 179-run target by seven wickets and eight balls to spare at Kingsmead in Durban. This was Cobras second win in seven matches. The four points helped them narrow the gap to three points over fourth-placed Dolphins.Pietersen hit three fours and five sixes in his knock to help strengthen the foundation laid by Morne van Wyk, who made 44. Pietersen drove the innings forward in the company of Khaya Zondo, with whom he shared an 89-run stand for the fourth wicket. Zondo contributed 40 of those in the teams 178 for 5. Rory Klienveldt picked up three wickets.Cobras stuttered early when they lost Wayne Parnell in the third over, but their chase received a fillip courtesy half-centuries from Richard Levi and Dane Vilas. When Levi was dismissed by Imran Tahir, Cobras still needed 63 off 46 balls. Vilas found an able ally in Kieron Pollard, who made an unbeaten 31, to steer the team home. Dale Hunter 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. Justin Williams Capitals Jersey .05 million next season unless Graham and the Saints subsequently agree on a long-term deal. The designation was released Monday after the deadline passed for NFL teams to use franchise or transition tags on players becoming free agents. http://www.jerseyhockeycapitalsstore.com/authentic-matt-niskanen-capitals-jersey-sale/.Y. -- Leading 3-0 with only 11:25 left, the Colorado Avalanche committed a seemingly meaningless penalty to give the New York Islanders a power play. My best. Thats where Faf du Plessis rated this century -- his second at Adelaide and sixth overall. It came after a week of intense scrutiny over du Plessis methods of shining the ball, a week in which he was found guilty by the ICC and fined, a week in which he made headlines for all the wrong reasons. His team-mates stood steadfastly behind him and he saw this innings as his chance to stand steadfastly ahead of them.Im just pretty proud of today. It was a big day for me to stand up as a captain and make sure I lead from the front, he said. To get through all of that and this week in the manner that I did today makes me really proud.Du Plessis expected some heat when he made his first public appearance -- he had addressed the media the day before -- but he was surprised that, after he stood alone to take South Africas total over 250, he was not wholeheartedly forgiven.I was expecting a little bit of hostility but not to that extent, he said. When I came out, I was obviously quite aware of it [the booing]. As the innings went on, it disappeared a bit. To be really honest, when I got to 100 I wasnt expecting to still get booed so that was disappointing.It also added a little to du Plessis already immense desire to do his talking with the bat. I was really motivated before today. I felt it was a character test and the only way I could do it is by scoring runs but it did help a little bit. Maybe 5%.What helped more was that du Plessis was more focused than he has been ever before. The pink ball seamed and then swung, it also turned; the Australia attack searched and, in the case of most of his team-mates, found; but du Plessis had promised himself he would not give it away easily. I have never been that switched on. Every ball I said to myself, that is not enough. I want tto get a big one here. Tom Wilson Capitals Jersey. I was just more motivated than I have ever been, he said. Surprisingly, technically I was the best I have been this series as well. I felt really good.Before this innings, du Plessis contribution was a top score of 37 and he did not seem to have the same control he has displayed in the past. Today, his defences could not be breached but he also looked to score. He was not the same batsman who stonewalls for fun, he was someone who had purpose and, if he had more partners, he would have carried on. I could have gone for another day. I really wanted to bat. The way I felt mentally I could have gone for a week, du Plessis said.But with the chance to put Australia in under lights and make some early inroads, du Plessis decided not to search for an extra 20 or 30 runs and take advantage of a situation in which Australia were forced to seek an emergency opener. Du Plessis knew David Warner had spent time off the field and could not bat, he wanted to see if his bowlers could make the ball talk at night and, with the knowledge that 224 was the top score in last years day-night Test in Adelaide, he felt a total over 250 was good enough.The position of the game was that it was time for us to declare. We were trying to get some wickets, he said. I dont think we would have declared if we were seven down in the last hour of the night. We would have tried to get to 300. We got 250 but it feels like we got more. It isnt a massive score but the statistics of the pink ball says it may not generally be a five-day game. It speeds up a little because there is a lot more action on the ball - 250 is perhaps 350 with the red ball. 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 ' ' '

Argentina warmed up for next weekends autumn international against Wales with a seven-try 54-20 rout of Japan in Tokyo on Saturday. Teddy Purcell Oilers Jersey Authentic .Nicolas Sanchez scored 29 points -- including two tries -- for the Pumas, who were 21-6 up at half-time and surged even further clear after the interval at Prince Chichibu Memorial Rugby Ground.Matias Moroni and Sanchez touched down in the first period, Sanchez converting his own score and also kicking three penalties.Two penalties from Yu Tamura -- the first after five minutes putting the hosts ahead -- were all Japan had to show for their first-half endeavours.Santiago Cordero (two), Moroni, Sanchez and Tomas Cubelli posted second-half tries for Argentina, Sanchez adding the extras on four occasions.Amanaki Mafi and Lomano Lemeki did cross to give the home fans something to cheer about - both tries converted by Tamura -- but the Brave Blossoms, in their first game under the guidance of former New Zealand and Japan international Jamie Joseph, were never a match for the dominant Pumas, who take on Warren Gatlands Wales at the Principality Stadium next Saturday. Jordan Eberle Oilers Jersey Authentic .

The Olympic champion curler and TSN curling analyst immediately went online to look at the Halls long list of honoured members. Thats when the enormity of the honour sunk in. http://www.hockeyoilersshop.com/mark-fayne-jersey/ . Blackwood, 28, has played the last three seasons in the San Diego Padres system, including the past two summers with Class AA San Antonio of the Texas League. Cricket South Africa (CSA) and Cricket Australia (CA) have strongly objected to the WICBs decision to charge a release fee in order to provide a No-Objection Certificate (NOC) to Caribbean players participating in overseas Twenty20 tournaments. The WICB had decided to impose a levy of 20% of a players contract fee, which it says should be paid by the host board in order for West Indies players to participate in their T20 tournaments.The news came to light earlier this week when it was leaked that WICB informed Kieron Pollard, on November 3, that he would not be given the NOC to travel to South Africa for their domestic T20 tournament, where he plays for the Cape Cobras.In a subsequent media release on Tuesday, the WICB issued an explanation of its decision, which it said was a policy move made by its board of directors. But later in the day, WICB chief executive Michael Muirhead said Pollard had been granted the NOC without any condition. Muirhead added that the WICB would carry on the dialogue with the other boards.While we do not wish to act in restraint of trade, we must seek a balance to ensure that there is fair and adequate compensation for the investment made in the players, the WICB release said. What WICB seeks is some compensation to recognise the investment made into players, an investment from which another Full Member is benefitting.However, other boards disagreed. Both CSA and CA said they did not support the proposal and pointed out that it was recently tabled for the first time by the WICB, but not agreed upon, at the Cape Town round of ICC meetings held in October.It was a WICB proposal, but not supported by any other member at the time, CSA chief executive Haroon Lorgat said. It was the first time the topic was raised and it was concluded by all that we should reflect on it as a part of all of the other reforms or regulations that we are presently working on to support the primacy of international cricket.Lorgat said the WICB decision to go solo without proper consideration and agreement with other stakeholders was inappropriate. I was quite surprised by the approach of the WICB because we had discussed this concept in a very preliminary way at the last chief executives committee (CEC) meeting in Cape Town. As an isolated measure, we cannot support it at this stage.Muirhead told ESPNcricinfo that WICB president Dave Cameron had said the concept was first discussed by the ICC board of directors at a meeting earlier this year. I understand from my President that it was approved at the ICC board level, which is above the CEC. The Board agreed to the concept that [the] fee would be charged. I have not seen the minutes itself, but this is what he told me. Muirhead said the ICC might have discussed the issue further on its own and perhaps pointed out some practical issues, which led to the discussion once again by the CEC in Cape Town in October. Ben Scrivens Oilers Jersey Authentic. It came up for discussion at the CEC [meeting] and then they took that back to the Board. But there was an initial approval at the board level earlier.According to Lorgat, the WICB decision was surprising because the ICC members had agreed that the concept of a release fee needed more discussion to understand the full implications.He confirmed that CSA had responded to the WICB saying it would not support the payment of release fees at this stage. We have written back saying we are not in a position to agree to pay release fees when neither our board nor the ICC members have properly considered the concept.That opinion was supported by CA, too. We are aware of the issues pertaining to West Indies Cricket Board releasing players for other domestic leagues and are in discussion with them on this, a CA spokesperson said. Cricket Australia does not support the proposal suggesting that release fees be paid by home member boards to WICB in order for West Indies players to play in their domestic leagues. This matter was briefly discussed and rejected by member board CEOs at the recent ICC Chief Executives meeting in Cape Town.Administrators - in the ICC and of the Full Members - have been concerned about the rising popularity of domestic T20 tournaments, which have eaten into the viewership of the other formats of the game. What has also bothered many boards is players opting to retire from international cricket to become free agents, in order to lengthen their T20 shelf life.As such, Lorgat said a release fee was appropriate in the case of the IPL, which is played over nearly two months every year when all international cricket effectively comes to a standstill, as players from most countries participate in the lucrative tournament in India. In addition, the BCCI does not release their players to the other leagues. For these reasons the BCCI pays member boards a certain fee by way of compensation.It should clearly apply to the BCCI because all the other countries have effectively created a window for the IPL and thus lost the opportunity to commercialise their international rights during that period, Lorgat said. That is why the BCCI compensates the other member boards. It is clearly very different.But Lorgat added that the same formula could not be mechanically applied to other member boards.Without having worked on the details and the implications, I have a feeling that the smaller boards will be disadvantaged by the payment of release fees, or it would simply end up all square between the various boards with similar amounts being paid to each other.Additional reporting by Daniel Brettig Cheap NFL JerseysCheap NFL Jerseys China Cheap Jerseys From China Cheap NFL Jerseys Authentic Wholesale Jerseys China Cheap NFL Jerseys China NFL Cheap Jerseys ' ' '

The solid day moved Penske within five points
The Washington Nationals activated closer Jonathan Papelbon from the disabled list Monday and sent outfielder Michael Taylor to Triple-A Syracuse in a corresponding move. Mike Matheny Jersey .Papelbon, 35, has been on the disabled list since June 13 with a right intercostal strain. He is 1-2 with a 3.16 ERA and 16 saves in 25 appearances this season.Papelbon pitched the ninth inning Monday against the Milwaukee Brewers, striking out two batters with a 13-pitch scoreless inning in a non-save situation. The Brewers defeated the Nationals 1-0.(Papelbon) gets our bullpen back in sync, Nationals manager Dusty Baker said.Taylor, 25, is batting .225 with six home runs and 12 RBIs in 60 games (41 starts this season). He also has 10 doubles and 10 stolen bases.Papelbon threw 30 pitches in a simulated game last Wednesday and then pitched three scoreless innings in a rehab assignment with Single-A Potomac and Double-A Harrisburg. He didnt allow a hit, striking out three batters and allowing one walk.Last month in Los Angeles, in a 4-3 loss, Taylor struck out five times. Then, with the Nationals leading 3-2 in the bottom of the ninth, he made a game-ending three-base error when he allowed a single hit by the Los Angeles Dodgers Yasiel Puig to roll under his glove. Howie Kendrick, who was on first base, scored and so did Puig, who ignored a stop sign and diving home with the winning run. Mike Shannon Cardinals Jersey .

WATKINS GLEN, N.Y. -- Brad Keselowski has always had a fondness for Watkins Glen International, and that fondness just grew a bit more. The reigning Sprint Cup champion, who had finished second three times in the past two years at The Glen, led 49 laps in the Nationwide Zippo 200 and finally notched that elusive first career road course victory Saturday. "I dont know, its hard to explain. I can remember coming here with my dad (in the 1990s), just always having a love affair with this track," said Keselowski, runner-up to Marcos Ambrose in the past two Cup races at the track. "Theres something about this track. I have a very deep appreciation for it. Its been a great race track for me." Keselowski passed Joey Logano for the lead with 16 laps to go, then held off Sam Hornish Jr. in a dominant performance for Penske Racing. Keselowski, who finished second to Carl Edwards despite leading more than half of this race a year ago, won for the fourth straight time over five months in NASCARs second-tier series. It was his 24th career Nationwide win, tying him with Tommy Houston for eighth place on the career list. Brian Vickers was third, followed by Regan Smith and Elliott Sadler. Logano finished 21st after running out of gas on the final lap, his teams fuel strategy backfiring. Hornish won the pole and set sail with Keselowski at the outset after Kyle Busch crashed on the first turn of the 82-lap race. "Kyle getting torn up, it was pretty apparent that all three of our cars had a shot to win the race if we just didnt do something dumb," Keselowski said. "So I tried to not do something dumb the whole race." Busch wasnt so fortunate. He started second but loost control of his No. Bob Gibson Cardinals Jersey. 54 Toyota, sliding sideways after apparently tapping the rear bumper of Hornish as they drove through the first turn, a downhill 90-degree right-hander. Buschs spotter had just cleared him to make a move under Hornish. Busch briefly touched the Armco barrier that lines the track and was OK, but Mike Wallace, in midpack and unaware Busch was there, pulled right to make a pass and slammed the left front of Buschs car. "Im sorry guys," Busch said over his radio as he drove to the garage for repairs. Busch, who was seeking his ninth victory of the season and 60th in the series, finished five laps down in 24th. Wallaces No. 01 Chevrolet was crushed, too, as was his psyche. "I went to the right, Wallace said. "You wouldnt expect him to be spun out that early in the race. We were just trying to get through the first lap. Its disappointing." After that, it was a show between Hornish and Keselowski as the three Penske Fords combined to lead all but nine laps. Hornish managed to close on Keselowskis back bumper with six laps remaining, but that was as close as he got. Keselowski pulled away over the final two laps and won by 1.4 seconds. "I was focused on trying to pass the 22 (Keselowski)," Hornish said. "I had driven for over 100 per cent and I couldnt even get beside him. I could get up to his bumper. I just had to settle down a bit. I needed to sit there and ride." Smart move. Hornish closed to within three points of the series lead behind Austin Dillon, who struggled with a sputtering car and finished 11th. The solid day moved Penske within five points of Joe Gibbs Racing for the owners points lead. 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 ' ' '

SAN FRANCISCO -- The Washington Nationals found a reliable pitcher for the ninth inning, acquiring All-Star closer Mark Melancon from the Pittsburgh Pirates on Saturday. Michael Bourn Braves Jersey .Washington sent reliever Felipe Rivero and pitching prospect Taylor Hearn to the Pirates for Melancon, who supplants struggling Jonathan Papelbon as Washingtons closer. Melancon is expected to join the Nationals on Sunday for their series finale at San Francisco.Nationals general manager Mike Rizzo and manager Dusty Baker called Melancon on Saturday. Both Rizzo and Baker said they were impressed that Melancon told them he planned to immediately check in with Papelbon.It says a lot about his character and makeup, and that was a big reason why he was such an attractive target to us, Rizzo said. His performance level is great, but his makeup and character are a lot of the reason that we went out and got him. That tells me hes team-first and Mark Melancon second.A 31-year-old right-hander, Melancon has converted 30 of 33 saves with a 1.51 ERA this season and joins his fifth organization in eight years. He is making $9.65 million and is eligible for free agency after the World Series.Once considered a possible successor to Mariano Rivera when he broke into the majors with the New York Yankees in 2009, Melancon said during the All-Star break he knew a trade was possible, given his contract status.The move comes as the Pirates find themselves on the fringe of the wild-card race. While general manager Neal Huntington stressed the team remains committed to reaching the playoffs for a fourth straight season, the opportunity to deal Melancon -- who led the majors with 51 saves in 2015 and had 33 in 14 -- for two young arms with friendly long-term contracts was too good to pass up.Rivero is under team control through 2021 and hit 100 mph on the radar gun regularly during an extended relief appearance against the Pirates this month. If Melancon left as a free agent, Pittsburgh would have received a high draft pick as compensation.We knew full well that holding Mark Melancon would have been a good return, but at the end of the day we felt this was a better return for us, Huntington said.This was Melancons fourth season in Pittsburgh after he also pitched for Houston, Boston and the Yankees.He will move his family once more -- his wife and three kids.This has been a blast. Pittsburgh has a special place in heart. My family has been treated so well, Melancon said. The experiences weve had, just running through my mind all the wild-card games, just big games that weve been in. From where we started, to where we are now, it is an honor. It is an honor to be a Pirate. We got to go through those experiences together. My teammates are my best friends.Papelbon is 2-4 with a 4.41 ERA and has allowed eight runs and seven hits in his past three outing. Baker wouldnt say earlier Saturday whether Papelbon still was his closer. Baker pulled Papelbon from a game Thursday in the ninth inning.Rivero, a 25-year-old lefty, is 0-3 with a 4.53 ERA this season. Hearn is a 21-year-old lefty who was the Nationals fifth-round pick in the 2015 amateur draft.The Pirates will plug Rivero into a seventh-inning role, with Neftali Feliz working the eighth and Tony Watson in the ninth. Watson was an All-Star in 2014 in a set-up role and will take over a position where Pittsburgh has enjoyed plenty of success during its rise from mediocrity. Each of its previous three closers: Melanon, Jason Grilli and Joel Hanrahan, made the All-Star team wearing black-and-gold.Manager Clint Hurdle said he will miss Melancon but is confident in his bullpen options.I love the guy, love the family. Happy we had him. He helped us, I believe we helped him, Hurdle said. We are not giving up anything, we arent lowering the bar. We are not settling. Our organization made a baseball trade, with confidence that our bullpen is going to be in a good place. We are going to be able to compete this year, we are going to be able to add to our competition level in the years to come.Huntington hinted the team may try to take the money it will save by not paying the remaining portion of Melancons contract and use it before Mondays trade deadline. The Pirates need help in the starting rotation, which has been forced to turn to rookies Jameson Taillon and Tyler Glasnow quickly as established players Jeff Locke, John Niese and Juan Nicasio faltered.Also Saturday, Washington recalled right-handed pitcher Reynaldo Lopez from Triple-A Syracuse.The Associated Press contributed to this report. David Justice Braves Jersey . -- Charlie Graham stopped 67 shots as the Belleville Bulls edged the visiting Guelph Storm 6-5 on Saturday in Ontario Hockey League action. Babe Ruth Braves Jersey . Now, with Game 6 set for Fenway Park and an 8:07 p.m. ET first pitch, the Detroit Tigers face the unenviable task of having to beat the Boston Red Sox twice, on the road, to advance to the World Series.http://www.bravesapparelsshop.com/erick-aybar-jersey-c-28/ . -- In one brief spurt, Brazil turned a close game into a rout and proved again it will be a strong World Cup favourite. Three men were out for 110 in Sri Lankas Test last week. Was this some sort of record? asked Tushar Trivedi from India (and many others) Those 110s by Kusal Perera, Upul Tharanga and Dimuth Karunaratne for Sri Lanka against Zimbabwe in Harare last week did set a new mark for the highest score made three times in the same Test match. The previous-highest three-peat was 99, by Dennis Amiss, Majid Khan and Mushtaq Mohammad in the match between Pakistan and England in Karachi in 1972-73. The previous-highest scored three times by the same team was 78, by Desmond Haynes, Viv Richards and Richie Richardson for West Indies against New Zealand in Port-of-Spain in 1984-85.South Africa have won their last three Tests at Perth. Has anyone else managed this against Australia? asked Mikkel de Vries from South Africa Youre right in thinking that Australia have a good record at the WACA ground in Perth - they have won 24 of the 43 matches there, and have drawn eight. Of their 11 defeats, South Africa have been responsible for the last three, in 2008-09, 2012-13 and 2016-17; the Proteas drew their only other Test there (in 2005-06), so are undefeated in Perth. England have won there only once, against an under-strength Aussie team during the World Series Cricket era in 1978-79; New Zealand pulled off their one and only victory in 1985-86, when Richard Hadlee took 11 wickets; and India won in 2007-08. But West Indies won their first five Tests at the WACA - in 1975-76, 1984-85, 1988-89, 1992-93 and 1996-97 - before coming down to earth with an innings defeat in 2000-01, and suffered another reverse in 2009-10.Apparently the Aussie collapse at Perth was the third-worst for a team whose openers put on 150 or more. What are the two entries above this? asked Stuart from South Africa In the first Test against South Africa in Perth, Australia lost all ten wickets for 86 after David Warner and Shaun Marsh put on 158 for the first wicket. The only two lower totals after an opening stand of 150-plus were both by Zimbabwe: in their second innings against West Indies in Bulawayo in July 2001 they collapsed from 164 for 0 to 228 all out, then six months later in January 2002 they reached 153 for 0 in their first innings against Sri Lanka in Galle, only to subside to 236 all out, with five wickets apiece for Muttiah Muralitharan and Sanath Jayasuriya. The lowest completed innings to include a 150 partnership for any wicket is Sri Lankas 216 against South Africa in Durban in 2000-01 - Kumar Sangakkara and Mahela Jayawardene added 168 for the third wicket, but the other nine batsmen managed just 35 runs between them.How many players have scored more than 200 runs in a Test over two innings without being dismissed, as Kraigg Brathwaite did for West Indies against Pakisstan? asked Savo Ceprnich from South Africa It was a slight surprise to discover that Kraigg Brathwaite, who made 142 and 61 - both not out - for West Indies against Pakistan in Sharjah last week, comes in only 17th on this particular list. Hank Aaron Jersey. Its headed by the New Zealander Stephen Fleming, with 343 runs in undefeated innings of 274 and 69 against Sri Lanka in Colombo in April 2003; Sachin Tendulkar also made more than 300 runs over two innings in a Test without getting out, with 241 and 60 for India v Australia in Sydney in 2003-04. The most runs in a Test without getting out is, of course, Brian Laras 400 not out in just one innings for West Indies against England at St Johns in 2003-04. I was even more surprised, however, to realise that Brathwaite was the first opener ever to remain undefeated in both innings of a Test match.Who are the youngest and oldest players to appear in 100 Test matches? asked Timothy Rankin from England The youngest man at the time of his 100th Test cap was Englands Alastair Cook, who was 28 years 353 years old when he reached three figures, in Perth in 2013-14 (he undoubtedly hoped for a better result: Australia won by 150 runs). Cook beat Sachin Tendulkars previous mark - he was 29 years 134 days old when he played his 100th Test, for India against England at The Oval in 2002. All the other 62 players to date who have won 100 or more caps were over 30 when they reached their century; the oldest remains Geoff Boycott, 40 years 254 days old against Australia at Lords in 1981. Clive Lloyd (in 1983-84) and Graham Gooch (1992-93) were both 39 at the time of their 100th caps. Who has taken the most catches in his first-class career? asked Sivaraman Narayanaan from India There are nine men - eight of them wicketkeepers - who have taken more than 1000 catches in their first-class careers. All of them had long county careers in England, and top of the pile is Bob Taylor, who started with Derbyshire in 1960 and played on for them to 1988, when he was 47. Taylor, who also appeared in 57 Tests, finished with 1473 catches; 176 stumpings gave him 1649 dismissals all told, another record. The only outfielder on the list is Frank Woolley, with 1018 for Kent and England during a career that stretched from 1906 to 1938, by which time he was 51. The next man to join the list ought to be Nottinghamshires Chris Read, who ended the 2016 English season with 995 catches. Its not too fanciful to suggest that Read will be the last man ever to reach four figures - the next current player on the list is the 36-year-old Essex keeper James Foster, with 775.Post your questions in the comments below 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 ' ' '

to sleep too good.
Andy Murray will be aiming to put a disappointing Indian Wells campaign behind him as he prepares for the Miami Open. Custom Dodgers Jersey . The conditions will suit the British No 1 who has used Miami as a warm-weather training camp for years. But with Novak Djokovic in his usual fine form and Roger Federer back in the fold, what should we expect at the Miami Open?Sky Sports expert Mark Petchey has assessed five major players... Andy MurraySeeded in the opposite half of the draw to Djokovic, Murray will aim to bounce back from an early Indian Wells exit with an early tie against Borna Coric. He could then face his Indian Wells conqueror Federico Delbonis before either Kei Nishikori or Jo-Wilfried Tsonga await. If he progresses to the semi-finals, familiar faces in Federer and Djokovic lie in wait. Murray could rematch Federico Delbonis who eliminated him at Indian Wells Petchey said: Murray had a great run to the final last year and I think hes in a good place this year. The difference in conditions between Indian Wells and Miami is probably one of the greatest we have on the tour, apart from literally changing surfaces.He has got to play up-and-coming players with Coric possibly in the second round, or Grigor Dimitrov. Rafa Nadal is also in his half. John Isner is there, who has been playing well recently. Murray lost the 2015 Miami Open final to Novak Djokovic Its not an easy section. Coric is coming through and, if he gets through his first match, will be really up for playing Murray. So hell have to be ready to go from the very first match.His focus, after last week, will be on getting his campaign off to a positive note. Most of the top guys mentalities is that they would like to prove losses are a fluke but, having said that, it will be tough to play Delbonis again when hes feeling good about his tennis.If you watch Murray and Djokovics matches in Miami over the years, theyre very physical and its difficult to hit winners. Its punishing tennis they play against each other in Miami.Novak DjokovicThe 2015 champion is coming off an Indian Wells success and a 28th Masters win next week would be a record. He could play Britains Kyle Edmund followed by Dominic Thiem. In the quarter-finals, Richard Gasquet or Tomas Berdych look likely, while Federer may await in the semi-final. Highlights of the final at Indian Wells between Novak Djokovic and Milos Raonic Petchey said: From the Brit perspective, Edmund potentially taking on Novak in the second round is something to look forward to. It will be a great opportunity for Kyle to test himself against the very best player in the world.Its not possible to identify a weakness in his game with the confidence and health that he has. Trying to hit him hard and fast in rallies is not the way to go - up the middle is the place to go at him. Djokovic celebrates last years Miami win His continued dominance is testament to the fact that there arent any holes in his game, because if there were, the guys are ruthless enough to exploit them. The reality of the situation is that he has to have an off-day for somebody to get past him.He finished Indian Wells immaculately against Milos Raonic so, after a few days rest, hell be back to his invincible best from the first round onwards. Its hard to look past him.Rafael NadalThe Spaniard is in Murrays quarter of the draw, but a daunting tie against Indian Wells runner-up Milos Raonic awaits in the fourth round. Stan Wawrinka is a likely quarter-final opponent while Nadal could meet Murray to contest a place in the final. Highlights of the semi-final clash at Indian Wells between Novak Djokovic and Rafael Nadal Petchey said: He had set point against Djokovic at Indian Wells which is encouraging because he hasnt been particularly close in their last few matches. For Rafa, that will be a consolation.It underlines that Nadal is hitting the ball better than he was, and he looked like he was moving well in Indian Wells too. I think the signs are all good in terms of the next few weeks until he gets back onto his beloved clay where he shines.In Miami, he can show the continuing improvements from his perspective. Its an important tournament to keep building his momentum.Roger FedererA swift recovery from a knee injury poses interesting questions of the Swiss legend, who may face a fascinating second-round tie against Juan Martin Del Potro. Jeremy Chardy or David Goffin may then await Federer, followed by Marin Cilic or David Ferrer in the last eight. He is in the same half of the draw as Djokovic meaning they would meet in the semi-final. Roger Federer hasnt played since January Petchey said: For Roger, this is about getting matches under his belt because he hasnt played since the Australian Open. He needs to get back playing on the clay towards the French Open, thats the stage of his career that hes at.He would love to do well in Miami, he would love to win it, but ultimately he will want to get matches ahead of the clay court season.Roger has a tough draw but there will be a lot of interest in the Del Potro match. Roger will be excited to play him again due to his love of the game. He wont look at that as a negative, hell see a positive in that he gets to play Del Potro.Juan Martin Del PotroThe last two years have been wrecked by a wrist injury but Del Potro, whose ranking has plummeted to No 366, returns in Miami with an early clash against Federer looming. But can we ever expect to see Del Potro reach the heights of his heyday? Juan Martin Del Potro will be a popular addition to this years Miami Open Petchey said: If his wrist is 100 per cent, its not impossible to get back to his best.What were seeing at the moment is Del Potro slicing his two-handers and not driving with the same venom as he did during his pomp. Until hes confident in his own mind, I cant imagine he will challenge the guys who are fully fit.But service-wise and movement-wise there dont seem to be any issues there. I just think if you have a small weakness in your game, which he does, it will be interesting to see how he masks that. Its a tough draw if he gets past Guido Pella in the first round, to be honest.Watch the Miami Open live on Sky Sports between March 23 - April 3.

At a Manhattan federal court hearing, attorney Jordan Siev said his law office has gotten more evidence nearly every day to support its lawsuit accusing MLB and Selig of going on a "witch hunt" to ruin Rodriguezs reputation and career. He said the defendants went "way over the line. http://www.baseballdodgerslockroom.com/mike-piazza-dodgers-jersey/ . Oaklands loss to Seattle clinched the ALs best record for the Red Sox with one day to spare in the regular season. "I think everybody was kind of watching," catcher David Ross said. "Demp (Ryan Dempster) came out before he went to the bullpen and was just yelling that they lost. MINNEAPOLIS -- Out of the doghouse and into the end zone, Cordarrelle Pattersons career renaissance kicked into overdrive on Sunday against the Arizona Cardinals.Patterson returned a kickoff 104 yards for a touchdown to put the Vikings in control of the game, and also had four catches for 53 yards in Minnesotas 30-24 victory that snapped a four-game losing streak.Once thought of as the dynamic playmaker who would take over as a focal point of the Vikings offense once Adrian Peterson was ready to retire, the 2013 first-round draft choice entered the season hanging on to a roster spot for dear life. He had two catches for 10 yards all of last season, then watched the Vikings spend a first-round draft choice on another receiver before declining to pick up the fifth-year option on Pattersons contract later in the summer.Over the span of 10 games in a contract year, Patterson has gone from an afterthought in the offense to a featured element. In addition to his return and receiving duties on Sunday, Patterson took a read-option handoff from Jerick McKinnon to get the defense focused on him, then flipped the ball to quarterback Sam Bradford in a play that drew a penalty downfield and set up a Vikings touchdown.When youre involved, you cant even sleep at night, Patterson said. Last night I couldnt even sleep because I was just so excited about today. I knew it was going to be a good game for me, man. Ive got a couple friends in town and I told them its going to be a good game for me.He also converted a third-and-1 with a 30-yard reception that set up another touchdown, and opened the second half with his fifth career kickoff return TD, which ties him with Percy Harvin for the most in Vikings history.When you look what he does on special teams, when the balls in his hands, you just feel like hes one of those guys if we can get him five, six, however many touches it is a game, you know that hes going to create something positive, Bradford saaid. Babe Herman Jersey. Anytime the balls in his hands, hes got a chance to take it all the way.When the Vikings drafted Laquon Treadwell in April and declined Pattersons contract option, the writing appeared to be on the wall for a player whose physical tools were never questioned, but whose carefree personality led to doubts about him as a consistent threat on offense. Pattersons good friend Adam Thielen, an undrafted player out of Division II Minnesota State, Mankato, had surpassed him on the receiver depth chart. His future was uncertain.Nicknamed Flash both for his blazing speed and his colorful personality, Patterson first showed coaches that he was playing with a different attitude when he started covering punts as a gunner. Its one of the most thankless tasks on the field. He forced a key fumble against the Giants and gradually started earning more playing time on offense as well.The approach endeared him to no-nonsense coach Mike Zimmer, and Patterson has seen his role grow each week.Its been cool to see him have success because Ive seen what he does in the offseason, said Thielen, who had five catches for 65 yards and a touchdown. Ive seen how positive he is. Its easy for guys in his situation to not have that mindset and not work hard. But its good to see when guys deserve it and they go out and make it happen.The Vikings never needed Patterson more than Sunday, when they carried a four-game losing streak into a crucial home game. Patterson broke out some socks with his own likeness on them -- Last night I was packing my bag and said hey, I need to pack these, he said -- and broke the game open with a kick return that gave the Vikings a 27-17 lead.Tonight Im going to sleep like a baby, he said with a wide smile.

The Toronto Blue Jays signed C Ramon Hernandez on Sunday and assigned him to Triple-A Buffalo. Wholesale Ravens Jerseys . Hernandez began the season with the Los Angeles Dodgers and hit .208 (10-48) with three home runs and six RBI in 17 games.

Hernandez has played 15 years in the Major Leagues with Oakland, San Diego, Baltimore, Cincinnati, Colorado and Los Angeles.

The Colts went into the game already
Injuries to their pitching staff havent yet been able to slow down the St. Louis Cardinals, who remain in top spot in the TSN.ca MLB Power Rankings, ahead of the Detroit Tigers and Cincinnati Reds. The Pittsburgh Pirates, up to fifth, are the third team from the National League Central in the Top Five. A soft spot in the schedule helped the Atlanta Braves win eight of nine, lifting them from 12 to seven, while winning six of nine helped the Rockies move from 15 to nine. 9-3 in their last dozen games, and boosted by the return of starting pitcher John Danks, the Chicago White Sox moved from 22 to 16 while the L.A. Angels have emerged from a first quarter coma to win eight straight, climbing from 28 to 19. On the down side, the Kansas City Royals have lost nine of their last 10 games, bad enough to fall from 11 to 22, and the Seattle Mariners have lost eight of nine, dropping from 18 to 24.

Although surprised, the Dolphins said they have no issues with Foster leaving the team in the middle of the season.Im not upset because I want whats best for him, Gase said. If there was anything that was pulling him to where he couldnt be all in or his body wasnt all in, Im not going to be upset about that, because I had a great relationship with him.Added Dolphins receiver Jarvis Laandry: He felt it was time.dddddddddddd He can walk away from the game healthy and thats what I want for anyone.Players mentioned the biggest loss with Foster will be his leadership. He had an important role of mentoring young running backs Jay Ajayi, Damien Williams and rookie Kenyan Drake. Foster nearly missed as many games (three) as he played this season (four) but he stayed on top of his younger tailbacks while he was sidelined.According to Ajayi, Foster taught him a lot about running outside zone plays. Thats one of the plays with which Ajayi is having a lot of success the past couple weeks while posting back-to-back 200-yard rushing games.I would definitely say he was a great veteran presence for our team and definitely a big presence for our room, Ajayi said of Foster. He was able to just give us a lot of insight and the ins and outs of running and his experiences throughout his career. I definitely think that my experience with him grew from the beginning when I first met him. Im definitely grateful for the time we were able to share. 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 ' ' '

 timely saves to keep Sweden in this game.
SAN FRANCISCO -- Emergency Giants starter Albert Suarez only made one mistake. Winston Guy Colts Jersey . As the 26-year-old learned, though, in the major leagues, one can be enough.Matt Kemp hit a three-run homer and Mike Foltynewicz pitched 7 2/3 strong innings, leading the Atlanta Braves over San Francisco 3-1 on Saturday night.Kemp homered in the fourth to make it 3-1 against Suarez (3-2), who was called up from Triple-A Sacramento to start after Jake Peavy went on the 15-day disabled list with a lower back strain.For the first three innings all his pitches were crisp and hitting their spots, Giants manager Bruce Bochy said of Suarez. The pitch hed like back would the one to Kemp. It got away from him. That three-run homer was the difference in the game and our (bullpen) did a great job to hold them there.Kemps 26th homer was a high-arching shot that cleared the 399-foot fence in center, an especially impressive shot on a cold night.It always feels good to put your team up, especially coming in here, Kemp said. Its good to kind of quiet the crowd a little bit because they get riled up when theyre up, if you can get on the board and get them down, theyll back off you a little bit.Suarez didnt allow a hit until Adonis Garcia singled leading off the fourth. Freddie Freeman followed with a double, and Kemp came to the plate with runners at second and third with nobody out.I was feeling very good, Suarez said. Then in the fourth it was one pitch and he put a good swing on it as he lifted it up. I threw a fastball. It was supposed to be outside and it wasnt. I just tried to keep my head up and get ready for the next one.San Francisco fell to 13-26 since the All-Star break, the worst record in the majors over that stretch. The Giants were seeking their first three-game winning streak since winning four in a row just before the break.The Giants fell two games behind the Dodgers for first in the NL West. Los Angeles beat the Chicago Cubs 3-2 earlier Saturday.Foltynewicz (7-4) struck out six and allowed five hits and a walk for just his second quality start in eight games.His only mistake came in the second inning, when Brandon Crawford socked an 0-1 fastball for his 12th homer. Crawford also doubled.The last-place Braves had lost 12 of 16 going into Saturday.The Giants were 0 for 8 with runners in scoring position.Jim Johnson pitched a perfect ninth for his 13th save.SCORELESS STREAK SNAPPEDPrior to Kemps homer, the Giants had thrown 25 consecutive scoreless innings going back to the fifth inning of a 1-0 loss to the Dodgers on Wednesday.GIANT SLAYERKemp leads all active players with 23 home runs against the Giants.Thats a big a strong man, Braves interim manager Brian Snitker said of Kemp. It was a short swing, it was a perfect swing almost, and that ball just took off. Its very impressive where it landed.TRAINERS ROOMGiants: 1B Brandon Belt was a late scratch with neck tightness. Belt struck out pinch-hitting in the eighth inning. INF Conor Gillaspie replaced Belt at first. ... Peavys move to the DL is retroactive to Aug. 21. Peavy underwent an MRI on Saturday, the results of which werent immediately known, manager Bruce Bochy said. ... OF Hunter Pence also underwent an MRI on Saturday for his strained right hamstring. Bochy said Pence is day to day and he expects Pence to return to the lineup on Tuesday in Arizona. ... RHP Matt Cain, who went on the DL on Aug. 18 with a lower back strain, was scheduled to start a rehab assignment with Triple-A Sacramento on Saturday. Hes expected to slot into the fifth spot in the rotation the next time it comes up on Sept. 2.UP NEXTBraves: RHP Aaron Blair was recalled from Triple-A Gwinnet to pitch the series finale in San Francisco. Blair is 0-5 with a 7.99 ERA in 11 starts with the Braves.Giants: Since the All-Star break, LHP Madison Bumgarner is 2-4 with a 3.71 ERA and four quality starts in eight outings. Bumgarner gave up a season-high five earned runs in five innings against the Dodgers last time out. Hes 6-0 with a 1.75 ERA in his last seven starts against the Braves. Ryan Kelly Colts Jersey .Y. -- Leading 3-0 with only 11:25 left, the Colorado Avalanche committed a seemingly meaningless penalty to give the New York Islanders a power play. Mike Adams Colts Jersey . It was the kind of score that might make everyone else wonder which course he was playing. Except that Graeme McDowell saw the whole thing. Crouched behind the 10th green at Sheshan International, McDowell looked over at the powerful American and said, "Ive probably seen 18 of the best drives Ive seen all year in the last two days. http://www.nflcoltsgearsshop.com/Black-Johnny-Unitas-Colts-Jersey.html?cat=861 . There are surprises among the Vezina candidates, but most of the others are standard top-tier performers, even if the two Hart Trophy runners-ups have never been quite as good as they have been through the first half of the season. TORONTO --This matinee World Cup of Hockey matchup between Team Sweden and Team North America didnt disappoint. In fact, it thrilled the masses Wednesday at Air Canada Centre and ended in a thrilling 4-3 overtime victory by Team North America, which means the roster of talented 23-and-under players is a step closer to advancing to the semifinals.The only way Team North America can advance is if Finland defeats Russia on Thursday. Sweden picked up a point in the OT loss and will advance thanks to its 2-1 record.Nathan MacKinnons tally in OT sealed Team North Americas victory.Sweden knew the North Americans speed would be a challenge, but the Scandinavians were stunned by just how fast the under-23s played from the opening puck drop. The first 1:35 of the game featured just about everything a hockey fan wants to see in 60 minutes of action. Team North America gained a 1-0 lead only 30 seconds into the game on Auston Matthews goal. Twenty-six seconds later,?Johnny Gaudreau was hauled down and awarded a penalty shot after he split Swedens top defensive pair,?Anton Stralman and Victor Hedman, on a potential breakaway. Gaudreau missed the penalty shot, but teammate Vincent Trocheck scored at 1:35 to give Team North America a 2-0 advantage. Judging by the crowd reaction (and even some in the press box), you would have never known it was a mid-week afternoon game in September. The atmosphere was electric, and the kids didnt disappoint with those three goals in the first 20 minutes. In true veteran fashion, however, Sweden ssettled in and scored twice in the opening period. Dezmen Southward Colts Jersey. Both teams registered 16 shots each in the first, too.Then, Sweden seemingly put North Americas speed in a vice and squeezed it. The Swedes slowed down the game in the second period but still trailed by a goal; Team North America held a 3-2 lead after two periods. After 40 minutes and a remarkable number of shots, Team North America held a 37-27 advantage in that category.In the third, Sweden proved why its a favorite to win this best-on-best tournament. The Swedes kept the game to their pace and tied the game on Patrik Berglunds goal with 6:50 left in the period.Sweden entered this tournament with one of the most potent power plays of the eight teams, but it struggled in that category, going 0-for-5 against Team North America. In order for the Swedes to win this thing, they need to clean up their power play.Three Stars1. Johnny Gaudreau, Team North America:?This dynamic player continues to dazzle the hockey world with his skill. He was without a doubt one of the best players on the ice Wednesday.2.?Shayne Gostisbehere, Team North America: A defensive wiz and playmaker who can control the play at both ends of the ice.3.?Henrik Lundqvist, Sweden: He continues to prove hes still a world-class goalie. Team North America created plenty of quality scoring chances, but the King made several timely saves to keep Sweden in this game. 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 ' ' '

While Oleksiak has only played in 13 of the
BUFFALO, N.Y. -- Buffalo Sabres top-line center Jack Eichel is out indefinitely after being diagnosed with a high ankle sprain on Wednesday.The Sabres provided the update hours after Eichel was hurt in the teams final practice before it opens the regular season hosting Montreal on Thursday.As of now, no timetable has been set for his return, the team posted on its Twitter account.On Thursday,?coach Dan Bylsma said that Eichel?will miss weeks and not days.Eichel was in front of the net when he got tangled up with a defenseman and his leg buckled beneath him.He lay on the ice and grabbed his leg in pain as the team circled around him. Eichel was unable to put any weight on his leg as teammates helped him off the ice.The injury occurred with less than 10 minutes remaining in practice, Bylsma said.Its the cusp and eve of starting a new season, one we are all looking forward to, and I think thats why it takes the wind out of the sails of the arena today, Bylsma said.Eichel is key to the Sabres future after being selected with the No. 2 pick in the 2015 draft. He is coming off a solid rookie season in which he had 24 goals and 32 assists for 56 points in 81 games.Eichel played one year at Boston University and became the second freshman to win college hockeys top honor, the Hobey Baker Award.You expect to have to deal with injuries throughout the year, Bylsma said. Its one we are going to have to deal with, whatever the extent of the situation is. Our team is not just Jack Eichel, its not just Ryan OReilly.OReilly, the Sabres captain, participated in his first full practice Wednesday since he experienced muscle spasms during his preseason debut last week. He looked good out there, Bylsma said.Forward Kyle Okposo did not practice Wednesday due to a bruised knee and was ruled out on Thursday.Okposo signed a seven-year, $42 million contract with the Sabres in July after eight seasons with the New York Islanders, becoming Buffalos second-highest-paid player, after OReilly, who signed a seven-year, $52 million deal shortly after being acquired in a trade from Colorado last summer.Defenseman Dmitry Kulikov?was also?scratched after hurting his back during a preseason game two weeks ago. DALLAS -- The Dallas Stars are looking for consistency when they host the New York Rangers on Thursday at American Airlines Center.The Stars (12-13-6) play the second contest of a five-game homestand, one which coach Lindy Ruff said could define the struggling teams season. The Stars opened the homestand with a 6-2 victory against the Anaheim Ducks on Tuesday.Its important. We all realize where were at in the standings and how weve been playing to start the year, Stars captain Jamie Benn said. We see this homestand as a big one for us. Like you said, it could be make or break and we want to be making something of this. We got one tonight and well regroup and get ready for the next one.The Stars scored five goals in a span of six minutes, 43 seconds against the Ducks, and goalie Antti Niemi made 34 saves to improve to 6-1-1 at home. The Finnish goalie was playing for the first time in five games, and said getting a quick start was important for his confidence.Against Anaheim, Niemi made several key saves in the first period, including a stop on a 3-on-1 and a stop on a breakaway on the same shift.The Rangers (20-10-1) have been riding Antti Raantas hot hand and the back-up goalie made four consecutive starts. He won three straight games and posted back-to-back shutouts before the Rangers lost to the Chicago Blackhawks on Tuesday 2-1.While Raanta played well in the loss, Henrik Lundqvist will likely start against the Stars and Raanta said hes well aware the Swede is the Rangers starter.Its special when you can steal starts froom Hank, Raanta said on Tuesday.ddddddddddddNo matter who starts in goal, the Rangers rely on one of the NHLs best offenses this season. New York scored a league-best 106 goals through 31 games, and 14 players have at least 12 points, including leading-scorer J.T. Miller with 22.Miller has been one of the NHLs breakout stars this season. He had 43 points in 82 games last season and is on pace to set a career high in his third professional season.The Stars led the NHL in goals last season, but have yet to find the offensive spark on a consistent basis. Theyve scored 11 goals in their last two home games, but scored only three goals during back-to-back road losses sandwiched in between the victories.Ruff is hopeful his lineup will build off the win against Anaheim, and the Stars should be better as injured players return to form. Jiri Hudler had his first point of the season against the Ducks, while defenseman Johnny Oduya played his second game after returning from injury and had an assist.The Stars will also have Jamie Oleksiak back as a lineup option against the Rangers. The 6-foot-7 defenseman was suspended two games for a hit to the head on Philadelphias Chris VandeVelde on Saturday.Oleksiak had been playing some of his best hockey this season before the suspension. While Oleksiak has only played in 13 of the Stars first 31 games, Ruff said his play recently dictated he should be in the lineup. 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 ' ' '

BISMARCK, N.D. -- North Dakota State University President Dean Bresciani said Monday that some text messages he sent regarding heavily criticized and now-rescinded media guidelines for covering Bison athletics were not appropriate.Bresciani in a campus-wide email also continued to maintain that he wasnt consulted on the guidelines that were roundly panned by journalists and on social media before NDSU scrapped them after just four days.Bresciani said he was at a funeral out of state when the guidelines were made public, but the explosive reaction on social media ... quickly made me aware (of) them.The rules issued July 29 primarily involved restrictions on live broadcasting, internet streaming and social media posts at sporting events for media outlets that didnt have contracts to broadcast basketball and football games. NDSU -- whose football team is the five-time defending Football Championship Subdivision champion -- issued a follow-up statement the next day saying the conditions were needed to protect the commercial interests of stations paying the Fargo school for exclusive rights to TV and radio broadcasts.Three days later, on Aug. 2, NDSU issued a statement rescinding the guidelines. It said Bresciani had not been informed of the guidelines in advance, and quoted him as saying I was profoundly disappointed when I learned the facts about this issue.Text messages from Bresciani to Athletic Director Matt Larsen late on July 29 and early on July 30 that were obtained by blogger Rob Port appeared to contradict Brescianis profoundly disappointed mood.In one text about a newspaper reporters response to the new rules, Bresciani wrote Larson, to make you smirk. In another exchange, Larsen wrote that he was going to circle the wagons with staff, to which Bresciani replied that he thought it was a good idea.Bresciani in his Monday email acknowledged initially supporting the guidelines.I now understand that my initial support was misplaced and some of my text communications were not appropriate, he wrote.In another text the day before the guidelines were rescinded, Bresciani told Larsen to control the spin and to own the decision as yours not something you were told you had to do. He added that he would back the athletic director.NDSU spokeswoman Laura McDaniel said Monday that during that exchange, Bresciani was coaching Larsen on how to approach a possible meeting with upset media members about potential changes to the guidelines. She acknowledged that control the spin was a bad word choice, but that it was absolutely not (Bresciani) saying, `You tell everybody this is your fault.In the schools Aug. 2 statement rescinding the guidelines, Larsen apologized, said he erred in not bringing these ideas forward for the presidents review and regretted the damage this has caused NDSU and its administration.Larsen did not immediately respond to a request for comment Monday.State Rep. Mark Sanford, R-Grand Forks, chairman of the state Legislatures Interim Higher Education Committee, said Monday that he thinks the guidelines were ill-advised.Thats kind of the heart of all of this, he said.A Fargo newspaper has publicly called for Bresciani to resign. Sanford declined to comment on whether he thought NDSU needed new leadership, saying Brescianis future is up to the state Board of Higher Education.The board, which oversees North Dakotas public colleges and universities, in June decided to put off voting on a contract extension for Bresciani until November. It said it wanted to review his progress on meeting goals on teamwork, communication, collaboration, information technology and research.University System Chancellor Mark Hagerott did not immediately respond to a request for comment Monday. Higher Education Chairwoman Kathleen Neset was traveling and not immediately available for comment. Vice Chairman Don Morton declined comment, referring questions to Neset.---Follow Blake Nicholson on Twitter at: http://twitter.com/NicholsonBlake BARCELONA, Spain -- Barcelona says defender Jeremy Mathieu will be sidelined for about three weeks because of a right foot injury.Tests conducted Wednesday showed the extent of the injury, which the France international sustained during a 1-0 loss to Espanyol in the Catalan Super Cup.Barcelona, which rested its top players in Tuesdays cup match, hosts last-place Granada in the Spanish league on Saturday.ddddddddddddFellow defenders Gerard Pique and Jordi Alba will also miss the game through injury. 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 ' ' '

Jags and Titans before we start writin
When training camp begins this September, Maple Leafs general manager Dave Nonis fully expects his remaining two restricted free agents - forward Nazem Kadri and defenceman Cody Franson - to be there. Kyle Palmieri Devils Jersey . For that to happen, though, Nonis might need to get creative. The Maple Leafs have under $5 million remaining under the $64.3 million salary cap, which is down from last seasons $70.2 million. Both of the Leafs burgeoning stars are due raises, but Nonis, for his part, remains undaunted. "From our standpoint, we have enough cap space in our minds to get both players signed and thats what we intend to do," Nonis told NHL.com in an interview. "There are definitely ways of making it work. Thats our intention." Teams are able to go up to 10 per cent over the cap prior to the official submission of roster at the beginning of the regular season which will allow for some wiggle room. Nonis expects movement in negotiations before then, but acknowledges that the falling cap has created difficulty in contract talk league-wide.  “I think there is recalibration that needs to take place on both sides. You look around the League and I think thats happening,” said Nonis, heading into his second season at the helm of the Leafs.” There are a lot of good UFAs [unrestricted free agents] that arent signed because of the amount of money left in the marketplace." Kadri was second on the Leafs in points last season, tallying 18 goals and 22 assists. Franson, acquired from the Predators in 2011, finished eighth among defencemen in scoring last season tying a career-high with 29 points. Martin Brodeur Devils Jersey .

If Adam Gase was looking for a litmus test for his Miami Dolphins out of the gate, the first-year head coach couldnt have asked for a much more difficult test than traveling to face the Seattle Seahawks at CenturyLink Field at 4:05 ET on Sunday.The Pacific Northwest destination is the furthest stop from South Florida on the NFL map, although the Dolphins will surely welcome a forecast that calls for kickoff temperatures in the mid-70s.Of far more concern is the Seahawks vaunted defense, which led the league in points allowed each of the past two seasons. Gase has a history of elevating the play of various quarterbacks, and embattled Ryan Tannehill looked mostly comfortable running the no-huddle offense during the preseason.However, questions remain along the offensive line, in the backfield and with Tannehills ability to be productive in the red zone. Answering all of those in one of the leagues most notoriously loud stadiums in a season opener against a stout defense will be a challenge.The percentages say if you go on the road in the NFL, its hard to win, Gase said. No matter how good you are, wherever youre ranked, it doesnt matter. Every stadium you go into, its tough to play on the road. When you do get a win on the road, its a big win, no matter where its at.Being able to handle adversity, thats the hardest thing to do. When things dont go right, how do you respond?The Dolphins expect to start veteran Arian Foster in the backfield, and his versatility as a receiver will be a bonus. But Seattle also led the league in run defense last season, so the onus will fall on Tannehill to run Gases attack efficiently in the face of a strong pass rush and the Seahawks Legion of Boom secondary.We just have to keep plugging away, Tannehill said. Were on the right track. We just have to keep taking advantage of every day, every practice, pushing ourselves (and) making ourselves get better on the little things. Were in good shape.The Dolphins arent certain if wide receiver DeVante Parker will be able to play due to a hamstring injury, but have a pair of threats in possession receiver Jarvis Landry and deep threat Kenny Stills in combination with tight end Jordan Cameron. Covering tight ends was a particular vulnerability for the Seahawks last season, but Seattle head coach Pete Carroll relies heavily on the veterans he has in charge of the unit.We can recall experiences that have happened, Carroll said Wednesday. I was talking to (cornerback Richard) Sherman about something that happened three years ago this morning, a play. We were talking about something that would apply now.That fluid interaction is really valuable. The clearer they are, the better they can communicate, the faster they can play. Were dedicated to playing fast and committed to keeping our guys at the edge of their ability level, and that communication is hugely valuable. Were as good as we have ever been in that regard and were banking on it.Seattle will bank of veterans on the other side of the ball, too, but more so out of necessity. Gone is power running back Marshawn Lynch, nicknamed Beast Mode. He retired and handed the reins to Thomas Rawls and Co. Gone, too, are three starters from last seasons offensive line. Right tackle Garry Gilliam will be the only lineman from last season to begin the 2016 campaign in the same spot.The offensive line performed surprisingly well during the preseason, but is still considered one of the most vulnerable blocking units in the league. And that vvulnerability can be quickly exposed when facing the likes of Dolphins defensive linemen Ndamukong Suh, Cam Wake and offseason addition Mario Williams. Gustav Nyquist Jersey. .Its time to go play and see if we can just play each play, in each series, in each quarter of each game, said Seahawks offensive line coach Tom Cable, whose unit will feature a converted tight end (Gilliam), a journeyman (JMarcus Webb) or rookie (Rees Odhiambo) at right guard, a former second-round pick starting at his third position in as many seasons (center Justin Britt), a first-year starter (left guard Mark Glowinski) and another journeyman in left tackle (Bradley Sowell) who was an afterthought as an offseason acquisition. Rookie Germain Ifedi was slated to start at right guard until suffering an ankle sprain in practice Wednesday that will reportedly sideline him at least a few weeks.Then go into the next one and continue to grow. I really like where weve started and where were at and all the work in-between. Now can we continue it, thats really the challenge now.The Seahawks 2015 season shifted when offensive coordinator Darrell Bevell moved quarterback Russell Wilson out from under center primarily, allowing him to see the pass rush coming at him and distribute the ball to an array of playmakers.Miami was vulnerable to big plays in the running and passing games last season, with missed assignments and gap-fitting a constant source of frustration. There were still signs of similar issues during the preseason, and Wilsons ability to keep plays alive with his feet puts an enormous amount of pressure on the defense.Russell, he has great feet, Suh said. He can run the ball and be a threat in that respect -- so just be aware of it.I would never be scared of it or anything of that nature, but just be aware of it and cognizant and just go out there and play your game.Rawls is coming off a season-ending ankle injury last season and will play a limited amount of snaps. Veteran Christine Michael will split the duty, with rookies C.J. Prosise and Alex Collins potentially fitting into the mix as well.With the offensive line concerns, however, the Seahawks offense is likely to operate primarily through Wilson. Tight end Jimmy Graham has a chance to play as he returns from knee surgery, but even without him Seattle sports a deep group of experienced receivers including Doug Baldwin, Jermaine Kearse and Tyler Lockett.Wilson will take aim at a secondary slated to start former Seahawks cornerback Byron Maxwell opposite rookie Xavien Howard.It adds up to a compelling matchup between the unknown commodity of Gases Dolphins and Carrolls veteran-laden bunch eyeing another Super Bowl run.Its nice to be home, sure, Carroll said. We love to be able to open up against someone here at home and have the 12s ready to go. Like the week leading up to it, we just get that sense of digging in a little bit so thats always nice, but in another year when were on the road and you ask me the same question, Ill say its no big deal.Maxwell shadowing elite receivers, playing in an off-man zone scheme that didnt suite his style, and the 28-year-old struggled.Maxwell, who had 64 tackles, two interceptions and forced two fumbles in the 14 games he played for the Eagles last season, allowed opposing quarterbacks to produce a 100.7 passer rating when they targeted receivers he was defending. 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 ' ' '

India will now look to further compound New Z
Blitzed by Hawthorn early in the 2014 AFL grand final, fast-starting Sydney are making sure the boot is now firmly on the other foot.Hawthorn ensured the last two grand finals were practically over by halftime thanks to dominant opening terms and the Swans are keen to emulate those feats.In 2014 they kicked five goals to two against Sydney in the first quarter and outscored them six to three in the second to lead by 42 points at halftime.It was more of the same in 2015, when the Hawks kicked five majors to West Coasts one in the opening term and were 31 up by the long break.In the past two weeks, Sydney have burnt off Adelaide and Geelong in similar fashion.They kicked seven goals in the first quarter of both games, having never previously booted more than six in the opening period of a finals fixture.The start will again be crucial when they face the Western Bulldogs in Saturdays grand final at the MCG.We understand the importance of starting well, Sydney ruckman Kurt Tippett told AAP.We always try to focus on our first couple of contests and and then flow from there.As a group, were well aware of how important the start is.The Swans have won 19 out of 25 first quarters, this season and havent trailed by more than 11 points at quarter time of any match.Sydney have kicked five or more goals in eight opening quarters this year, but their defence has also played a big part in their strong starts.Only twice this year have Sydney conceded more than three goals in an opening term, and they still won both games.They have kept five teams goalless till quarter time, among them competition heavy-hitters, Hawthorn, Geelong and Greater Western Sydney.The Bulldogs have also kicked five or more goals eight times in the first quarter, buthave been outscored in 11 of their 25 opening terms.Both clubs are among the top four in the competition in disposals, clearances, stoppages and tackles,I think the first half of footy is going to be red hot, said former Swans and Bulldogs forward Barry Hall.If the Bulldogs can stay with them, and I hope they can, they are a chance.Well see what sort of spirit theyve got in the second half of footy.They just play games out.. Virat Kohli, Indias captain, made the most of an easy-paced surface to score his 13th Test ton that guided his side to an impressive 267 for 3 at stumps on day one of the third Test against New Zealand in Indore on Saturday.The curator at Holkar Stadium produced a surface laden with cracks and Kohli, after winning his seventh successive toss in Tests, said that the pitch would aid batsmen on the first two days of the Test.Kohlis prediction was spot on, as he joined forces with Ajinkya Rahane to propel the hosts to a commanding total against a team strengthened by the return of their captain, Kane Williamson, who had missed the second Test in Kolkata due to illness. Williamson introduced spin in the fifth over after his seamers failed to extract early bite. The move paid off as Jeetan Patel struck in his first over to dismiss opener Murali Vijay for 10. India went to lunch at 75 for 2 with Cheteshwar Pujara and Kohli at the crease.Mitchell Santner accounted for a well-set Pujara after the hosts had reached the 100-run mark. His dismissal was to be the last of Indias setbacks on the first day, as Kohli and Rahane droppeed anchor.ddddddddddddKohli came into the Test with scores of 44, 3, 4, 9, 18, 9 and 45 in his last seven Test innings. He needed to find form and he did. In Indore, he was solid in defence and used the depth of the crease well against the spinners. What helped him was that he avoided playing extravagant shots that cost him his wicket in the earlier Tests. He didnt offer any clear chances, and the two times he edged the ball, it eluded the fielders.He brought up his 50 from 108 balls, shortly after tea. Kohli and Rahane added 167 runs in the 54 overs they batted together. Kohlis unbeaten 103, that came from 191 balls, included ten fours. His partner, Rahane, ended the day with an unbeaten 79.The 18,000-strong crowd, present at Holkar Stadium, hosting its first ever Test match, were treated to an impressive batting display from Indias top order - led by Kohli. India will now look to further compound New Zealands woes, on the second day, by adding to the already sizeable first-innings total.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 ' ' '

 has been hurt by 21 withdrawals,
UBET punters have put their faith in the Carolina Panthers ahead of Tuesday mornings clash with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Eddie Royal Jersey . Despite both sides recording just one win in four starts this season, the Panthers ($1.40) have attracted more than 70% of the money for the round five clash against Dirk Koetters Buccaneers ($3).Head to Head: Carolina Panthers ($1.40) v Tampa Bay Buccaneers ($3). Khari Lee Bears Jersey . Fernandez, coached in Toronto by former two-time Olympic silver medallist Brian Orser, scored 267.11 points and is the first champion to successfully defend since Russias Evgeny Plushenko in 2005 and 2006. Brian Hoyer Jersey . -- Hunter Smith scored the winner with just 12 seconds remaining in the third period as the Oshawa Generals edged the host Sarnia Sting 5-4 on Friday in Ontario Hockey League action. http://www.probearsonline.com/authentic-lance-briggs-bears-jersey/ . - Goaltender Philippe Desrosiers of the Rimouski Oceanic has broken a shutout record that was only three months old in the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League. Ryder Cup captain Davis Love III keeps a separate points list for Americans to consider performances that might not show up in the standings, whether thats Rickie Fowler giving up potential starts to play in the Olympics or Kevin Kisner and Justin Thomas winning fall events that dont count.The bigger question is whether Darren Clarke is thinking along the same lines.That could determine whether Russell Knox is at Hazeltine next month. By winning the Travelers Championship, the 31-year-old from Scotland moved within 6.6 ranking points of the ninth and final automatic qualifying spot for Europe.Knox played college golf at Jacksonville University and has lived in Florida ever since. He didnt attempt to join the European Tour until after he won a World Golf Championship in Shanghai last year, meaning the 66 ranking points dont count. If they did, Knox would be No. 5 in the standings and virtually be assured of a spot.It puts me in a great position, Knox said Monday night.European qualifying ends in three weeks, though Knox The Barclays -- the start of the FedEx Cup playoffs and one of the strongest fields of the year -- does not count toward the European standings. His last chance to earn points would be the Wyndham Championship next week, but Knox said he doesnt think hes going to play. The Travelers was his 10th tournament in the last 13 weeks, and he still has four FedEx Cup events ahead of him.That means he might have to rely on a captains pick.I get it that the three picks are there for him to pick whoever he wants, Knox said. If he feels I can help the team, hell pick me. If he doesnt feel I can help, he has all the right in the world to pick someone else.Considering his two victories, anyone else might seem to be a lock for a pick.The problem is that Clarke already has five Ryder Cup rookies among the top nine -- Masters champion Danny Willett, Chris Wood, Rafa Cabrera-Bello, Andy Sullivan and Matthew Fitzpatrick. Clarke likely would look for experience to round out his team for the Sept. 30 start of the matches at Hazeltine.Then again, Europe had six rookies when it won the Ryder Cup at Wales.I think it would be very difficult for me not to be on the team, Knox said.---PAYNE STEWART AWARD: Jim Furyk went from a record score to a humbling award in the span of two days.Furyk, who set the PGA Tour record with a 58 in the final round of the Travelers Championship, was announced Tuesday as winner of the Payne Stewart Award. He will be honored Sept. 20 during the Tour Championship in Atlanta.The Payne Stewart Award began in 2000, a year after the two-time U.S. Open champion perished in a freak plane accident. It players who best exemplify his value, characters and charity.I was fortunate enough to know Payne as a colleague and friend, and I always admired the character and spirit he brought to the game of golf, Furyk said. The Payne Stewart Award is an important part of the tours efforts to honor Paynes legacy. Knowing my name will be forever linked to him through this honor is extremely humbling, and I am very grateful.Furyk and his wife Tabitha started a foundation after he won the FedEx Cup in 2010 to provide for needy families and children. With the Payne Stewart Award, he receives a $300,000 grant that he will distribute to six charities through his founddation.Marquess Wilson Bears Jersey. .---THE KINGS TAKE: Arnold Palmer has heard the national anthem at the Ryder Cup and Presidents Cup during opening ceremonies, but never for his own performance on the golf course. That what he says he will miss the most about never having a chance to compete in the Olympics.Golf is back in the Olympics for the first time since 1904 -- 25 years before Palmer was born. He wrote his thoughts in an essay for Golf Channel, which is televising golf in the Rio Games.The winners at the Olympics step up, bursting with pride, because everything that they have worked for and all their dedication is rewarded in a climax that I, and most golfers, will never experience, Palmer wrote. Representing their countries, they will listen to the music, stare at their flag, wear a medal with millions of people watching around the world, and know that this moment in time is all about them and what they have achieved.---THE IMPORTANT RING: Before heading to an event symbolized by five rings, Stacy Lewis will have one of her own.A wedding ring.Lewis, one of three Americans to qualify for the Olympic womens competition that starts next week in Rio, got married to Houston womens golf coach Gerrod Caldwell on Aug. 6 in a private ceremony in Mystic, Connecticut.They are expected to arrive in Rio this weekend.Lewis was the second-highest American to qualify in the world ranking behind Lexi Thompson. Her last LPGA victory was two years ago. Perhaps marriage can have the same effect it once had on Juli Inkster. She was a 20-year-old newlywed who headed off to Prairie Dunes in Kansas in 1980 and won the first of three straight U.S. Womens Amateur titles.---DIVOTS: Jordan Spieth is not playing the John Deere Classic, making him one of five players who did not or will not defend a PGA Tour title this season. The others are Sangmoon Bae (Frys.com Open), who started his mandatory military service in South Korea; Scott Piercy (Barbasol Championship) qualified for a World Golf Championship at Firestone; and Danny Lee (Greenbrier Classic) did not get a chance because flooding canceled the tournament.

d. The way she carries herself
For the first time in living memory -- and possibly the first time in Wimbledons history -- British men have taken up residency on Centre Court every day from the opening afternoon through to the middle Saturday.Andy Murrays third-round match against Australias John Millman today takes that sequence to six days, with three appearances there for him. James Ward, Liam Broady, Marcus Willis and Dan Evans have also all played on the show court.Murray will be looking forward to this showing with some confidence, too. After a decade or so on the tour, the world No.2 has a perfect record against Australian opponents with 17 victories from 17 encounters. No wonder he says he loves Aussies.Its a run that began in February 2006, when he defeated Lleyton Hewitt in the San Jose final, and a sequence that the Briton will be confident of extending when he plays Millman for a place in the last 16 at Wimbledon.He might even end up playing another Australian in the next round, too, as if he progresses he would play either Nick Kyrgios or Spains Feliciano Lopez.At this stage of the French Open, Murray the Aussie-slayer had already played a couple of five-setters. But here at the All England Club he has won both of his matches -- against Britains Liam Broady and Taipeis Yen-Hsun Lu -- in straight sets, and conceded a total of just 15 games.Murray has had a perfect start to this tournament -- hes in a much better position now than he was before playing his third-round match in Paris, John Lloyd, a past Australian Open finalist and a former Great Britain Davis Cup captain, told ESPN. Hes just where he wants to be.Since Lendl and Murray reformed their partnership, the world No.2 has looked more composed on his way to winning all seven of his matches -- five at Queens and two at Wimbledon.He hasnt been doing any of the negative stuff, Lloyd observed. I havent noticed any tactical or technical changes in Murrays game since Lendl came back. Murray has continued playing aggressively.One of Murrays 17 successive victories against Australians came against Millman at a hard-court tournament in Brisbane, Millmans home city, in 2012.Millmans level that day -- he took a set off Murray in a best-of-three-set encounter -- impressed the Scot.And Millman has played some decent tennis during this Wimbledon, including taking out Frenchman Benoit Paire, the No.26 seed, in the second round, with that performance inspired by the news he will represent his country at the Olympics.For the first time at Wimbledon, Millman is through to the last 32. Murray, by contrast, has never lost before this stage of the competition.Its going to be great, said the world No.67. Its what you dream of, playing on the biggest courts against the biggest players. I feel I deserve to be there.The third round at Wimbledon is uncharted territory for me, but we start at zero-all, he said. I have never been one to go out with an intimidated mindset before I play the game. RIO DE JANIERO -- Each night before she goes to bed, Marti Malloy closes her eyes and settles deeply into herself. She sees it happen.She is standing tall on a mat at the Carioca Arena after beating her last opponent. The Olympic gold medal, so tantalizingly close at the London games four years ago, is finally hers. She searches the crowd for a small, white-haired man, almost a century old. He is her mentor and confidant -- the father of U.S. judo.If I can win, it will be bigger than just being about me and what I accomplished, Malloy says, her deep green eyes growing large at the thought. Hopefully it will help give a big boost to American judo. And it will be a sign to Mr. Uchida, thanking him for standing behind me all these years.And for everything else he has done.This past weekend, Yoshihiro Uchida embarked on an interminable journey from California to the Olympic Games in Rio. His flight ran into a storm, was diverted to land and refuel, then missed its connection. No matter his age, he was not about to turn back. This probably will be his protégés last Olympics. He might live long enough to watch the 2020 games on TV, but given the difficulties of travel, he almost certainly wont be there. Mr. Uchida is 96 years old.He has toiled for years at a sport which, for all its popularity worldwide, is obscure in America. His first Olympics were the 1964 games in Tokyo, where he coached the U.S. team. From scratch, he has built San Jose State into the preeminent judo power in the United States. Without fail, he still oversees practice every day.Yoshihiro Uchida is extraordinary. His life collided with one of the most shameful moments in American history, and that experience informs his supervision of Malloy and others, including Colton Brown, another San Jose State judoka who will fight in Rio this week. He has taught me to keep going, says Malloy, who at 30 is the third seed in Rios 57 kilogram weight division, a competition set to unfold on Monday. If you have a goal, stay at it, because nothing is impossible if you go about it the right way.Its a way of looking at life that comes from what hes been through.Born in a Calexico, California, on April 1, 1920, Uchida was raised near Anaheim by parents who had immigrated from Japan. They encouraged him to learn judo as a way of connecting with his roots.In December of 1941, he was a student at San Jose State and teaching judo when the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor. He was drafted into the Army and was in uniform when President Franklin Roosevelt signed the executive order that sent nearly 120,000 Japanese and Japanese-Americans on the West Coast into internment camps. There I was, an American citizen, set on defending my country, while at the same time our lives at home are being torn apart, Uchida told me before he set out to Rio. Were being sent from our homes and farms to the camps. For what? Because of being Japanese. My parents, and so many of my family members ...His voice fades. Uchida is a proud man. If he sees a flaw in technique, he lectures Malloy and the other judoka in his charge, but it is not easy for him to talk about his parents, his brothers and his sister, imprisoned in Poston, Arizona, behind barbed wire.Back then, despite the pain, Uchida managed to tamp down his anger and focus on making it through World War II. Afterward, he returned to San Jose State, a campus with a permanent reminder of life upended: The gymnasium had been a processing center that sent thousands to the camps.Unwilling to let go of his dreams, Uchida earned a degree in biological science. He revived the schools judo program, and began teaching judo to police cadets. Many were war veterans, and their views had been shaped by virulent racism.The prejudice, Uchida says, shaking his head. Theyd just finished fighting the Japanese. They would say, We are not going to learn anything from a Jap instructor! Or, Hey, Jap, what are you going to teach me? Their ignorance was hard to take.Life wasnt any easier away from the judo mats. Jobs were hard to find; Uchidas time in the Army and his college degree did not lessen the stigma of being Japanese. He eventually got work in an overnight laboratory at a local hospital. In the mid-1950s, he borrowed money to buy a medical lab of his own. Over the years, he bought more, then sold them to a company called Unilab in the late 1980s for $30 million.All the while, he crusaded for judo. It was a way to teach character and discipline so students could make it through tough times. He worked incessantly to move the deeply traditional martial art, with its connection to the Samurai, into the realm of competitive sports. He led the effort to make competition fair by creating weight divisions, and he pushed to have judo sanctioned by the AAU.He helped organize the first collegiate judo championship, held in 1962 at the Air Force Academy. His San Jose State squad won it -- the first of 50 titles the school has earned. (Judo has yet to be recognized by the NCAA, so it remains a club sport on colllege campuses.dddddddddddd Uchida campaigned to make judo an Olympic event. The team he took to Tokyo in 1964 was the first Olympic squad fielded by the United States.It felt like I was the envy of many in the Japanese-American community, he says. Uchida was 44 at the time. Heres a guy whose parents were interned and everything that came with that, and now he is representing the United States as coach? And in Japan of all places. It was something many people took as a sign of progress. ? I have had quite a journey in this sport.Nearly 30 years after Tokyo, Marti Malloy began a journey of her own. She fought on judo mats at a little dojo in Oak Harbor, Washington, where she was born. Oak Harbor is a military town, a ferry ride plus an hours drive from Seattle. Her father, an aircraft technician in the Navy, was often deployed, and Malloy says her mother stuck her in judo to keep her occupied.From the very start, she possessed unusual strength. I could always just move in there and use my muscle, says Malloy, who stands 5-foot-3 and has brown hair that falls to her shoulders. But thats not judo. Judo is also about technique.She won multiple junior national titles and quickly made a name for herself. She left home at 16 and moved to the San Francisco Bay Area, where she lived with a family she barely knew so she could be closer to top training. She fought fierce matches against her friend Ronda Rousey, the MMA superstar who grew up in judo and won a bronze medal at the Beijing games in 2008. She worked for a while with a coach who was so merciless that she became anxious and depressed.For a brief time, she quit.That was the low point, she says. The high point was going to San Jose State, and finding Mr. Uchida.He was held in such awe that he seemed impossible to know. He was a task-master who focused on the tough, unglamorous skills of grappling. But he spoke just as much about the importance of good character and about being highly educated. He said that he wanted his judoka to contribute positively to society.What made him this way? Malloy wondered.So I tried to push past the barrier. I would ask about his day, and that opened things up to get to know him better, little by little. Eventually he became more than a coach. He became a friend. I found out things like the fact he wants us to be smart and well educated so nothing happens again like the crap that happened in the 40s. I found out there was more to what he was aiming for than just judo.When he was 92, Uchida flew to the London Olympics and watched Malloy charge into the semifinals. Then, near the end of a close match, she was caught off guard by a Romanian who drove her to the mat for a last-second victory. She still had a chance at bronze, but there were only 90 minutes to put the stunning loss behind her. She doesnt know how she did it, but says part of it was her awareness that Mr. Uchida was watching.In the consolation match, she tried a deceptive move, the Ko-Ichi. It sent Italys Giulia Quintvalles back to the mat. She was the defending Olympic champion. Malloy had her bronze -- only the second medal won by an American woman in Olympic judo.I looked up in the stands and saw Mr. Uchida smiling, Malloy recalls. I didnt want to cry because I was so happy, but my emotion ... They locked eyes, she remembers, and tears streamed down her cheeks.After London, Marti Malloy could have retired. She held not only the bronze medal, but a degree in advertising. Shed been on the deans list. She was 26, when many high-level judo players quit. Training is brutal, injuries are frequent, and the pay isnt great.But she did not stop. Going for the gold in Rio, where she has gotten a first-round draw, is a testament to her coach. I remember him saying, Why would you give up? Of course you are going to try for Rio. You have the ability to go down there and win the gold. You know, I have always believed that.Earlier this summer, the two went off to their monthly dinner at Kubota, a Japanese restaurant not far from downtown San Jose. They took me along. I listened to their easy, light-hearted banter. Yoshihiro Uchida sounded like a proud grandfather chatting with a much-favored granddaughter.They laughed about his diet: sashimi, salad and a glass of scotch. They talked about prospects for American judo. They spoke of the symbolic power of the San Jose State gym, where the judo team trains. The internment processing center is now Yoshihiro Uchida Hall.You did something so good, she said, speaking of all that he has accomplished. Not only for the United States but for the world to see. ... Perseverance.What about Rio? Uchida stopped the conversation for a moment to remind both of us that winning is vitally important, but not everything.Marti is already a champion, he said. The way she carries herself, like a leader, smart and honest, in a way that gets respect. She is a champion human being. 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 ' ' '
