LONDON -- As unified middleweight titleholder Gennady Golovkin prepares to make his 17th defense, against Englands Kell Brook, theres a third wheel muscling in on the attention being paid to their fight: lineal middleweight champion Canelo Alvarez. Eric Ebron Jersey .Golovkin, a knockout machine and perhaps boxings most feared fighter, has come to the birthplace of boxing to defend against Brook on his turf on Saturday (HBO, 5:30 p.m. ET/PT with a replay at 10 p.m. ET/PT) at the sold-out O2 Arena because Alvarez has steadfastly refused to fight him, going so far as to relinquish his sanctioning organization belt rather than fulfill a mandatory obligation to Golovkin in a megafight.The typically mild-mannered Golovkin normally doesnt utter a negative word about anybody, but Alvarezs gamesmanship clearly has annoyed him. He has been more outspoken about the situation than ever before.Its like a circus, too many clowns, Golovkin said. Canelo knows he doesnt want to fight me. Why do you keep talking then?Although Alvarez won the lineal middleweight title, he did so at his preferred catch weight of 155 pounds against Miguel Cotto last November and continues to resist a move to 160 pounds. Instead of agreeing to face Golovkin, as he appeared to do following his huge knockout of Amir Khan, a welterweight who moved up, in a May defense, Alvarez is retreating to junior middleweight. He will return to 154 pounds, where he once held titles, to challenge titleholder Liam Smith, Brooks countryman, on Sept. 17 (HBO PPV) at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas.Golovkin, who has knocked out 22 consecutive opponents since 2008 and owns the best knockout percentage in middleweight title history (.914), is resistant to any criticism that he is picking on a welterweight in Brook, who owns a world title and is considered by many No. 1 at 147 pounds, the same way Alvarez did with Khan.Canelo was the middleweight champion and chose Amir Khan, said Golovkin, who has been rebuffed by a whos who of the middleweight division in recent years. We didnt choose Brook. He chose me. My goal is all the middleweight belts. Canelo is not ready until next year or maybe not for five years.The 30-year-old Brook (36-0, 25 KOs) had no fear of facing Golovkin (35-0, 32 KOs), jumping at the chance when offered the fight after a bout between GGG and another Brit, middleweight contender Chris Eubank Jr., fell apart in the final moments when Eubank allowed the deadline to pass without signing.This fight is much bigger than if I faced Eubank, Golovkin said. [Brook] is a champion, hes undefeated, he is more famous. Who knows Eubank? Everybody understands he is 50 percent clown, 50 percent fighter. OK, he says hes ready, hes fighting. [Then] hes not ready, more dancing, more talking, trash talking. Hes like clown.Brook is moving up two weight divisions in an attempt to become the third reigning welterweight titlist to win a middleweight title in boxing history, joining all-time greats Sugar Ray Robinson and Carmen Basilio. Kazakhstans Golovkin, 34, who fights out of Santa Monica, California, respects the fire Brook has shown in accepting this difficult assignment.Everybody has risk in boxing, Golovkin said. Hes moving up and taking that risk, and for that I have a great deal of respect for him. Brook is dangerous. He has a very high boxing IQ and were fighting in his country.Golovkin, however, said he has little respect for Alvarez after the way he led him to believe they would fight on next weeks Mexican Independence Day weekend.After Alvarez knocked out Khan, he called Golovkin into the ring, telling him to his face that Mexicans dont f--- around and seemingly promising they would fight next.At the postfight news conference, Alvarez said he would even fight GGG at 160 pounds, and his promoter, Golden Boys Oscar De La Hoya, put on an over-the-top display, telling the media that Golovkin promoter Tom Loeffler, of K2 Promotions, should make sure his phone was on because he would be calling him the following day to open discussions.But instead of trying to make the fight, Alvarez vacated his title, which interim titlist Golovkin inherited, and eventually signed to fight Smith, who was all but unknown outside the United Kingdom. Alvarez also promised that he would fight Golovkin next September, although there is no formal agreement and few believe him.Golovkin does not think it will happen and that Alvarez will continue to make him and the public wait for the big fight.Impossible, he said of Alvarez agreeing to fight him in 2017. But maybe if I look bad with Kell Brook or another guy and hes ready, but [only] if I look bad.An Alvarez-Golovkin fight looms as one of the biggest in boxing, but it could play out like the frustrating Floyd Mayweather-Manny Pacquiao fight, which took years to make. Golden Boys Eric Gomez, promoted this week to president of the company, has said repeatedly to ESPN.com that Alvarez will fight Golovkin, but he would not give a timetable.That is the biggest fight, with Canelo, Golovkin said. But he stepped back. He is like loser. After Khan he said, OK, G, come into the ring. Im asking, What you want? He said, Im OK, I looked good. We fight. Then at the press conference, he says, I am ready, give me gloves. Im ready right now. Too much talking. This is not true. He is saying, I am ready [but] maybe not next fight. Next year. Everybody understands he said I am ready right now. I gave him too much attention. I do not believe he is ready.I know him. We trained together, like, three training camps. We sparred together. I know his team. He is not ready. I told him, Please just give me my belt, and thats it. He says OK and steps back. Too much talking, too much trash talking. Just give me my belt and get out of here. Maybe its business. After [the Khan] press conference I lost respect for him because he talks too much.Abel Sanchez, Golovkins trainer and the 2015 Boxing Writers Association trainer of the year, said Golovkin is angry that Alvarez is playing games.When the whole Canelo fiasco first started, when he fought Cotto, we were trying to just be laid back and let him talk and let him do his thing, Sanchez said. Once he called Golovkin into the ring, Golovkin was very offended. He may not say that to you, but I know Golovkin and Golovkin was like, What the hell did they call me in here for if hes not going to be true to his word?But when he did that and he showed all that bravado and then backed down, I think it set off something in Golovkin that was like, You know what? Im through being a nice guy. Im through not saying the things that I honestly think.Sanchez shares the opinion of Golovkin and many others who do not believe Alvarez will fight him next year.I dont think so. Weve had that discussion, and I honestly dont think so either, Sanchez said. I think Canelo knows he doesnt stand a chance and I think that Oscar knows that he doesnt stand a chance. But the more they talk, the more they stay relevant. We as the GGG team just keep GGG busy. When you keep him busy, eventually the fans will have so much pressure on Canelo, as the Mexican fans are doing right now, and the journalists. Dont talk if youre not going to back it up.Sanchez said that had Alvarez and Golden Boy simply told Golovkin that Alvarez was not ready for the fight, vacated and said he would come back and fight Golovkin for the title in a few fights, Golovkin would have been cool with that.But he called G in the ring and said some bad things in Spanish and then Oscar goes in the press conference and says, Tom, make sure you answer the phone. Come on, Sanchez said.Then along came Brook, daring to be great and going up to fight the man nobody else wants to face. Golovkin and Sanchez both respect that. A lot.I think a guy like Kell and a guy like [Sugar Ray] Leonard and guys like Robinson, those guys are wanting to test themselves to see where theyre at, Sanchez said. Theres nothing wrong with saying, You know what? That guy was just too big [if you lose]. But when they introduce you as middleweight champion and you talk all kinds of nonsense and then give up the title, how can you have any respect for somebody like that?Said Golovkin: Kell Brook has my full respect. Its not easy for us to get opponents. Hes ready for me and Im ready for him. Kell Brook is the biggest test to me. Hes a great champion, hes moving up in weight, but great fighters have done that and I know hes a great boxer and he will test me the most. D.J. Hayden Jersey .

Corey Jones was driving home 13 months ago after a gig with his church band when his SUV broke down on a South Florida highway at nearly 2 a. Cheap Cleveland Browns Jerseys.m. Roughly 90 minutes later Jones was on the phone with roadside assistance when a white cargo van pulled up in the dim light. A man wearing blue jeans, sneakers, a tan T-shirt and a baseball cap got out.You good? the man asked.Im good, Jones answered.Really?Yeah, Im good, Jones repeated.Really?Yeah.The next sound on an audio recording of the phone call was the man shouting: Get your f---ing hands up! Get your f---ing hands up!Hold on! Jones said.Get your f---ing hands up! Drop! the man yelled before firing three gunshots within two seconds.According to a report filed by the state attorneys office, the man fired three more shots 10 seconds later -- only more deliberately -- with one shot every three seconds.Jones, 31, died on the side of that highway after being struck by three of the six bullets. His death sparked local protests because the man who allegedly shot him, Nouman Raja, was a plainclothes Palm Beach Gardens police officer who failed to show a badge or identify himself as an officer. Raja was driving an unmarked van.Raja was charged with manslaughter and attempted murder eight months later, but to date there has been no trial and no closure for Jones family, which includes cousin Anquan Boldin, a receiver with the Detroit Lions. Boldin would like answers for not only his family, but all families who have experienced such a tragedy. Its one reason he and four other NFL players have traveled to Capitol Hill on Tuesday for meetings with a handful of congressmen, including Speaker of the House Paul Ryan.No. 1, you want to hear that they hear you, Boldin told ESPN.com. You want to make sure they understand the things that we, as an African-American community, are going through. I dont think our community feels that way right now, especially when it comes to law enforcement and the way were being policed. Our neighborhoods are feeling hurt. No. 2, you want to see changes in policy, in terms of how we train our police officers. And lastly, you want to see accountability -- that justice will be served for all -- to make sure that the relationship between the African-American community and police can be better. Theres work to be done on both sides because theres a huge mistrust there. I want to help close that gap.Boldin, the NFLs Walter Payton Man of the Year in 2015 for his production on the field and his community work off it, began contemplating the trip well before August, when San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick started protesting police brutality against people of color by sitting and subsequently kneeling, during the national anthem.Boldin reached out to Philadelphia Eagles safety Malcolm Jenkins, Lions safety Glover Quin?and quarterback Josh McCown and wideout Andrew Hawkins?of the Cleveland Browns?-- all guys who are well respected in the league and who have the same goal in mind as myself ?-- to join him. Each said yes. Boldin did not reach out to Kaepernick because, he said, it would have been tough logistically for Kaepernick to make the trip from the West Coast. Also, Boldin didnt want the meetings to draw attention that could negatively impact their desire to make positive change.For some players like Hawkins, the issue is deeply personal. He thinks back to the November day two years ago when 12-year-old Tamir Rice -- who was black -- was shot to death by a police officer while playing with a toy gun on a Cleveland playground. Hawkins reflects on how he couldve been Rice a decade earlier had his mother allowed him to play with the toy gun he had gotten from a church giveaway for kids.I thought the gun was the coolest thing ever, and my mom took it away, he said. I asked why, and she said, Someone is going to think its real and shoot you. I didnt understand it because all of my friends -- I went to a predominantly white elementary school, Catholic school -- they all had BB guns and would play with them all the time. I always thought it was so cool, but my mom would tell me, You dont have that luxury. I didnt understand it as a kid, but I do now. I have a son of my own.His mothers words came rushing back to him when Rice was killed, just as they did three months earlier when John Crawford, a 22-year-old black male, was fatally shot by police while holding a toy BB gun rifle inside a Walmart in Beavercreek, Ohio. Those killings prompted Hawkins to wear a T-shirt that read Justice for Tamir Rice and John Crawford on the front and The Real Battle for Ohio on the back before a December 2014 game against the Cincinnati Bengals.It created a lot of controversy at the time, but its something that was important to me then, and its important to me now, Hawkins said. To be honest, it was probably the proudest moment that Ive had as a professional athlete. ... We have a lot of power because were visible, and there was a sense of responsibility that I felt I had because Im in a sport where I might be the only person of color to get the opportunity to be on TV and articulate how a lot of people of color feel about the situation. Thats not a responsibility I take lightly, so it was important for me.What does he hope to accomplish Tuesday?Im not a lawmaker, and I dont come from a background of politics, Hawkins said. My expertise is in the communities that I grew up in, the people that I know, the firsthand encounters that Ive had. Im just curious to hear what our congressmen have to say, as people who are in charge of government and who have that responsibility and power. I want to get the other side of it. Going forward, this is more of a baseline than anything. Were probably not having extensive meetings and sitting there and loosening our ties and really getting down to business, so I dont know how much can be accomplished or how much can be said. But its a first step and an important step because you cant get to the next one without this one.The players are scheduled to visit with Rep. Patrick Murphy (D-Fla.), Rep. Keith Ellison (D-Minn.) and Rep. Daniel Webster (R-Fla.), as well as with members of the congressional black caucus. The meetings were arranged by Andrew Blejwas, an associate director of marketing for the nonprofit The Nature Conservancy, who since 2012 has been advising players like Boldin on how they can maximize their off-field work. The NFL Players Association also worked to arrange possible meetings with Speaker Ryan and some White House staff.No one is sure what will come of the sessions, but the players are firm that theyd like to walk away with something tangible, even if its an agreement to meet again for more discussions on what actions can be taken to address the issues. While Boldin and others want to be heard, McCown wants to listen.I dont believe we, as white people, can understand what African-Americans go through on a daily basis, because its different, McCown said. For me, first and foremost, I want to be able to acknowledge that and say that our stories are different and our histories are different, but lets just try to be a part of making it better moving forward. Thats been my resolve -- starting in my family first, and in my circle -- to be able to go, Im going to listen better and be better and be on the side of good and good things to move forward. But what does that look like? To me, it looks like justice and standing with your friends for whats right. So many times in this situation it feels like you cant be for law enforcement and for Black Lives Matter. Theres such a stark line that you have to be on one side or the other. Im trying to process that and understand. Why cant you be for both? I want the message to be that we can be for both. I dont know if thats possible, but thats where my heart is.McCown said he began to understand the issue?after police shot and killed Michael Brown in Ferguson, Missouri. He said he began to read and listen more intently to what was going on around the country. The stories resonated even more during offseason bible-study meetings each Thursday with former and active players. Many of the participants were black and shared personal stories of how they or family members had been mistreated by law enforcement.Youre listening to what theyve gone through, and I call it a weighted vest, McCown said. That probably doesnt do it justice, but I was like, Man, they do live with a weighted vest on. Its not the same race we [whites] are running here. It began to change my perspective.Boldins goal is to raise awareness and create positive change. His commitment is even stronger following the contentious presidential election.It makes me even more passionate because I see a country thats hurting, Boldin said. I see so much divide, to the point that I dont think weve ever been at this point in my lifetime. Has there always been racism? Of course. Has police brutality always been there? Of course. You name it, and its been there. But at this point, it just seems to be so brazen.When you hear about the things that are happening on college campuses, high school campuses, even elementary school campuses, its mind-blowing. This is the type of stuff I didnt have growing up, where you have young kids just being blatantly racist. Theres a huge divide in our country now, and if we dont find a way to heal it, things are only going to get worse. I dont want to bring my kids up in a country like that. I dont think any of us do. Weve got to do some work. And we cant leave it to politicians and the government alone. We have to make a difference. If we dont, were doomed.

NEW YORK -- Eric Young Jr. Joel Eriksson Ek Jersey . gave the New York Mets lineup a needed jolt from the leadoff spot when he came over from Colorado in June. For the first time since arriving, he provided a bit of power at the perfect time. Young hit a game-ending, two-run homer with two outs in the 11th inning, and the Mets snapped the Kansas City Royals nine-game winning streak 4-2 on Friday night. It was Youngs second homer of the season and the first game-ending hit of his major league career. After going 5-24 on New Yorks 3-5 trip that ended Thursday, Young got his second hit of the night when he slammed a 3-1 pitch from Luis Mendoza (2-6) over the right-field fence to score Omar Quintanilla, who had walked. "I was just looking for a line drive. Thankful it got up," Young said. "Came at a great time. We definitely needed the pick-me-up." Young, who hadnt homered since May 14, now has seven in five major league seasons. It gave the Mets something to smile about after a day full of injuries that nearly cost them this game and might leave them without injured All-Star David Wright for a while. Wright staked the Mets to a 2-0 lead with a first-inning homer, but New Yorks beat-up bullpen couldnt protect it as Kansas City scored single runs in the eighth and ninth innings to tie it. The Royals, whose surge matched the teams fifth-longest winning streak, were trying for their first 10-game run since they won 14 straight in 1994. "It never feels good after you lose a game, but yeah, it was a nice streak," Royals manager Ned Yost said. "Now lets see if we can start another one." Yost was forced to use Mendoza in the 11th because he was his last available reliever. Tim Collins was away from the team to visit his gravely ill grandfather, Yost said. Luke Hochevar couldnt go after throwing two innings Thursday. Carlos Torres (2-2), New Yorks scheduled starter for Saturday, worked two innings for the win in the 4 hour, 7 minute marathon. The Mets entered the night with a pair of big injuries to their bullpen and ended it without Wright, who was forced out in the 10th inning when he strained his right hamstring while beating out an infield hit. He will have an MRI on Saturday. Mike Baxter is expected to join the club then. "Its going to be tough for us," Young said. "He brings so much to our lineup. Thats why he is our captain." Wright provided all of New Yorks offence -- until Youngs heroics -- with his early shot off starter Wade Davis. But New Yorks bullpen that was without closer Bobby Parnell (stiff neck) and setup man Josh Edgin (rib stress fracture) couldnt save it for Dillon Gee, who worked into the eighth inning. Salvador Perezs fielders choice got Kansas City within 2-1 in the eighth, and Lorenzo Cains sacrifice fly in the ninth tied it. David Aardsma wasted the save chance while filling in for Parnell, expected to be sidelined until at least Sunday. Pedro Feliciano, who joined the team just before the game after Edgin went on the disabled list, got the last out in the ninth inning in his first major league appearance since 2010. Gee was in line to be the star after allowing one run on just three singles and two walks. He struck out four in his ninth quality start in 12 outings. Kansas City had earned road sweeps at the Chicago White Sox and Minnesota before making its first visit to Citi Field. "Weve came back a lot this year," outfielder Alex Gordon said. "When they got that early 2-0 lead, we knew that the game was far from over. The pitching staff did a great job after the first inning just to keep it there and let us get a chance. "Unfortunately it wasnt enough." Juan Lagares singled in the first before Wright launched his 16th homer. It was his 220th with the Mets, tying him with Mike Piazza for second place on the franchise list. Ike Davis went 3 for 3 after being dropped to seventh in the batting order by manager Terry Collins, who shook things up after the Mets were shut out on Thursday for the first time since May 25. Davis was lifted for a pinch-runner after he led off the ninth with a double. Gee bounced back from a rough outing at Washington last Saturday when he allowed a career-worst three homer in a 4-1 loss. Gee had an easy trip through the Royals lineup the first time through, allowing only a leadoff walk to Johnson in the third. Johnson was sacrificed to second, but he was stranded there when Alex Gordon struck out. Perez singled with one out in the fourth for Kansas Citys first hit. Wade Davis was gone after throwing 104 pitches in five innings. He gave up eight hits and struck out five with no walks. It was the second straight decent outing for Davis, who worked into the eighth inning of Kansas Citys 1-0 win at the Chicago White Sox last Saturday. In four previous starts, Davis was 0-4 with a 10.91 ERA. NOTES: This is the third series between the teams. They split six previous games. ... Wrights homer was the Mets first in 64 innings, dating to last Friday. ... Wade Davis made one previous appearance against the Mets, last season in relief with Tampa Bay. ... Edgin is expected to miss 4 to 6 weeks. ... Former Mets left-hander Bruce Chen starts Saturdays matinee for Kansas City. Jeremy Hefner will make the start for New York in Torres place.

Smith realized how easily basketball can be taken from him, and he wasnt going to take his place in the NBA for granted anymore. Ireland will reject any Willie Anderson-style challenges to the Haka in Chicago, instead focusing on last-minute mental preparation.Captain Rory Best will not lead his side into the kind of nose-to-nose confrontation that Anderson produced with All Black Wayne Shelford in 1989.Irelands players linked arms before that 23-6 Dublin defeat, advancing on the All Blacks mid-Haka - yet Best insisted Joe Schmidts men treat the ceremonial war dance with full respect but as a sideshow. Because there have been a few incidents they dont allow you to go past the 10-metre line anyway, said Best.So well just line up and I think everyone will deal with it in their own way. Some people will watch it, respect it. Other people will be looking at it but in their own head theyll be rehearsing their own roles.For me it will be going through plays to make sure that when the game kicks off I am in the best possible place to win the game for Ireland. Because ultimately that is what it is all about. The Haka is a great spectacle, a great sideshow for supporters.My kids absolutely love to watch it whenever we are at home. For us as players though, its a sideshow. All that matters to us is the kick-off, the game, and all that comes after that.Still without a win in 111 yeears against New Zealand, Ireland came within a whisker of ending that hoodoo in 2013. Mikko Koivu Jersey. Ryan Crottys overtime try and Aaron Crudens touchline conversion snatched New Zealand a 24-22 victory, however.Former Ulster lock Anderson won 27 caps between 1984 and 1990, with that challenge to the Haka among his standout Test moments. A young Best was in the Lansdowne Road stands when Anderson and Shelford faced off amid the Haka, and admitted that moment remains imprinted on his mind.I remember Willie Anderson when they charged the Haka; it was all about blood and thunder for as long as the engine would hold out and then (they were) just gallant losers at the end, said Best.Thats not being disrespectful to those teams. The professional era has changed that. When you think of big moments like that, that day theres no doubt that Willie Anderson went out and they werent afraid of them.They were going to take the game to them. They just ultimately ran out of steam and thats something that we know now that with the way were prepared that that wont happen. Its just a question of whether mentally we can stay in the 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 ' ' '
TAMPA, Fla. Patrik Nemeth Jersey . -- Robert Griffin III doesnt want to get ahead of himself.The Cleveland Browns quarterback reiterated Wednesday that while hes getting increasingly more comfortable running his new teams offense, the transition is far from complete.Its just about being consistent every day, the fifth-year pro said after the Browns shared practice fields with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers for a second day.I dont praise myself. Without the guys around me, I wouldnt be able to do what I do, the quarterback added. Football is a beautiful game because it takes 11 guys, and when all 11 are on the same page, its a beautiful thing.Griffin is hardly expected to be a one-man show in Cleveland. Hes excited about the talent the Browns are assembling around him, including receivers Josh Gordon, Terrelle Pryor and Corey Coleman, who could wind up on the field together in a game for the first time in Friday nights exhibition against the Bucs.Gordon (quadriceps) and Coleman (hamstring) sat out the first two preseason games, but have returned to practice.Griffin was asked whether he ever feels like he has an embarrassment of riches to work with considering the Browns also have productive targets such as tight end Gary Barnidge and running back Duke Johnson to throw to in coach Hue Jacksons offense.No ... you cant look at it that way, Griffin said. You cant try to force the ball to one guy, and thats the beauty of it. We have a lot of guys that can do great things. You just have to give them opportunities, and theyll make those plays for you. They understand that, as well. ... There are a lot of fish in the tank, and its up to us to feed them the right way.Jackson, preparing for his first season in Cleveland, likes what hes seen, adding Griffin is a little ahead of schedule in learning a new system.The coach also feels his quarterback will benefit from having two extra days of work against Tampa Bay, which intercepted two of his passes on Tuesday.Griffin was sharper Wednesday.He did a great job of just running the team, running our offense, understanding where the ball needs to go, when to get outside the pocket and throw the ball away, when to slide. I think all of it was on display, Jackson said. It has to be that way every day. Thats what he has to chase every day to be a really good player for us.Its a learning process, Griffin said of his progress.

Murray and Nadal are joined by Roger Federer and world No 1 Novak Djokovic in an A-list cast in Madrid and after a couple of years on inconsistency it is the Spaniard who arrives as the form player.

CHICAGO -- Clayton Kershaws playoff renaissance is over, at least for this year. The ace flopped at a big moment -- again.Kershaws postseason resume took another hit in Game 6 of the NL Championship Series, finishing off the reeling Los Angeles Dodgers. The Chicago Cubs beat up the three-time Cy Young Award winner and took advantage of Los Angeles shaky defense on their way to a 5-0 victory Saturday night, leaving the Dodgers still in search of their first World Series trip since winning the title in 1988.Kershaw could have started Game 5 on three days rest, but manager Dave Roberts decided to save him for Saturday night at Wrigley Field. Roberts was hoping a couple more days would help Kershaw duplicate his performance from Game 2, when he pitched seven innings of two-hit ball in a 1-0 victory.The decision worked out quite well -- for the Cubs. After winning a pair of shutouts in Games 2 and 3, the Dodgers dropped the next two by a combined score of 18-6. Even the great Kershaw was unable to slow Chicagos momentum, and Dave Roberts first season as Dodgers manager ended in disappointment.The left-hander allowed four earned runs and seven hits while dropping to 4-7 with a 4.55 ERA in 18 playoff games.I think that the first thing I saw is the Cubs hitters, they had a great game plan tonight, Roberts said. And there was a couple mistake sliders that they took advantage of. But they were running counts, they used the whole field, and there was traffic all night for Clayton. And he gave it everything he had, but when they did -- when he did make a mistake, they made him pay.Fowler hit a ground-rule double on Kershaws third pitch of the night, and the Cubs were off and running. Kris Bryant followed with an RBI single. Then left fielder Andrew Toles dropped Anthony Rizzos fly ball to the gap in left-center, setting up Ben Zobrists sacrifice fly.It was the first time Kershaw had given up two runs in the first inning all season. Cheap Falcons Jerseys. Fowler added a two-out RBI single in the second, rookie Willson Contreras hit a leadoff drive in the fourth and Anthony Rizzo connected in the fifth. It was the first time Kershaw had allowed two homers in a game since April 9 at San Francisco.That was it for Roberts, who hit for Kershaw in the sixth.While Kershaw struggled against the Cubs, the Dodgers were shut down by Kyle Hendricks and Aroldis Chapman, who combined on a two-hitter. Los Angeles had four baserunners, no advancing past first as the Cubs turned three double plays and ended an inning with a pickoff.Dave Roberts managed the Dodgers to the NL West title after taking over for Don Mattingly. But injuries to Scott Kazmir, Brandon McCarthy, Brett Anderson and Hyun-Jin Ryu hurt rotation depth.Kenta Maeda, who won 16 games during his rookie season, struggled in the playoffs, and 20-year-old Julio Urias was knocked out in the fourth inning of his first postseason start in Game 4 on Wednesday night.Los Angeles went with three starters in the Division Series against Washington and Kershaw pitched three times, including a two-out save in the clinching Game 5. When he stepped up again in his first start in the NLCS, it looked as if he might be on the verge of a postseason breakthrough.But his turnaround came to a screeching halt on a cool night in the Windy City. He dropped to 1/3 with a 6.28 ERA in five career starts with the Dodgers facing postseason elimination, according to the Elias Sports Bureau.We have asked a lot of Clayton all year long, so, again, its just more of you got to give those hitters credit, Roberts said.---Jay Cohen can be reached at http://www.twitter.com/jcohenap 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 ' ' '
AUBURN HILLS, Mich. Andrew Shaw Jersey . -- Right now, Aron Baynes is probably best known for his samurai-style haircut.If Andre Drummond misses much more time, Baynes could become known for his rugged play.With Drummond sidelined by a sprained ankle, Baynes had 20 points and eight rebounds to help the Detroit Pistons beat the Oklahoma City Thunder 104-88 on Monday night.This was because of everyone else, Baynes said. They got me the ball in great position, and all I had to do is finish. They were drawing the defense and I was left with the easy part.Baynes came within a point of his career high and played tough defense on Steven Adams, who had just four points in 29 minutes.As the president of the franchise, I probably shouldnt promote my own players, Pistons coach Stan Van Gundy said. But Aron is a starting center in the NBA. The only reason people dont know that is because weve got an All-Star ahead of him.The Pistons (6-5) improved to 5-0 at home despite being without Drummond and Reggie Jackson, who hasnt played this season due to knee tendinitis.Our defense at home has been great, Van Gundy said. Im not quite sure why we havent been able to duplicate that on the road yet, but were locked in at home.Russell Westbrook had 33 points, 15 rebounds and eight assists for Oklahoma City (6-5), which has dropped four in a row. Victor Oladipo finished with nine points, but he was the only other starter to score more than four.Im not worried about our offense -- thats fine, Westbrook said. It is our defense. Weve got to defend at a high level, and were not doing that.Andre Roberson, who finished with four points in 29 minutes, said the Thunders defensive struggles are being amplified by their inability to hit shots.This is a humbling moment for us, he said. Weve got to find a way to get past the lack of jump shots going in.Kentavious Caldwell-Pope added 17 points for Detroit.The Pistons used their post players to build a 59-47 halftime lead despite Westbrooks 25 points. Oklahoma City missed nine of 10 3-point attempts in the half, and Oladipo went 1 for 7 from the floor. Harris and Baynes each scored 13 points.Detroit led by as many as 19 in the third, but its reserves didnt have as much success as they had in the first half. The Thunder finished the quarter with a 13-2 run to trail 78-68.Despite Westbrooks best efforts, the Thunder couldnt put together a serious run down the stretch. On several occasions, he was able to pull defenders toward him and find an open teammate, only for them to badly miss the shot.TIP-INSThunder: Westbrook scored Oklahoma Citys last 14 points in the first half. ... Jerami Grant and Enes Kanter combined to hit nine of 16 shots in the first three quarters, helping keep Oklahoma City in the game. ... Westbrook picked up a technical foul in the first half for an accidental low blow against Caldwell-Pope.Pistons: Detroit is the last team in the NBA to be undefeated at home. ... With Drummond sidelined, the Pistons only grabbed one offensive rebound in the first half. ... Baynes got hit on his protective mask by Westbrook late in the fourth, and needed medical attention to stop the bleeding from his previously broken nose. Tonight was my last night with the mask, and it was good to have it on, he said.JUST TOO LATEWestbrook almost had 28 first-half points, but a replay review showed his 3-pointer at the halftime buzzer was still in his hand when time expired.BACK ON THE ROADAfter a four-game road trip, the Pistons were only making a brief stop at home. They play their next two games on the road before coming back to the Palace on Saturday.I thought this was an outstanding homestand, and I cant wait to get back on the road, Van Gundy joked.UP NEXTThunder: Return home to host the Houston Rockets on Wednesday.Pistons: Travel to Madison Square Garden to play the Knicks on Wednesday. Detroit beat the Knicks 102-89 on Nov. 1 behind 25 points from Harris. Carmelo Anthony led New York with 24 points. Yvan Cournoyer Jersey .

OKLAHOMA CITY -- Of the three categories that Russell Westbrook is averaging double figures in, the one that most believed would be the hardest for him was rebounds. T.J. Jones Jersey . At just 6-foot-3 and playing point guard, it didnt seem possible in todays game that he could pile up the boards.Yet, entering Friday nights game against the Houston Rockets, Westbrook is averaging 10.9 rebounds per game. That puts him ninth in the NBA ahead of the likes of All-Star big men such as DeMarcus Cousins, Karl-Anthony Towns, Blake Griffin and Kevin Love.When he defensive rebounds, it helps us, Thunder coach Billy Donovan said. Anytime he defensive rebounds he is starting the break. That is obviously where he is very explosive. He is getting the ball earlier. His defensive rebounding to me pushes the pace and allows our guys to get out and run.Westbrooks rebounding has been key in putting a together a streak of six consecutive triple-doubles. Another one would tie him with Oscar Robertson (1961) and Michael Jordan (1989) for the second-longest streak in NBA history.As a team, the Thunder are third in the NBA in rebounding at 46.1. After Westbrook, center Steven Adams is next in line with a 7.7 average. Backup center Enes Kanter averages six boards a game.But one of the keys for not only Westbrook to flourish on the boards, but also the entire team, the players say they have no jealousy when Westbrook swoops in and snags a board while the big men are battling under the rim.No one cares. Wed rather it be him, Adams said. I like it because I can actually box out my dude. Its good that he gets to come in and take them.When Oklahoma City defeated Houston 105-103 last month, it was the Rockets who won the rebounding battle 47-44. Westbrook was held to seven rebounds.In that same contest, the Rockets allowed a nine-point lead in the fourth quarter to slip away. Much of that was due to a horrendous shooting night from James Harden, who was 4 of 16 from the field.Since that loss, Houston has rang up a 9-2 record and is only three games behind the San Antonio Spurs in the Southwest Division. One of the wins was a double-overtime victory against the Golden State Warriors, who own the best record in the NBA.The Rockets are coming off a 134-95 trouncing of the Los Angeles Lakers. Guard Eric Gordon drained a career-best eight 3-pointers as the team continues to put up long distance shots with no conscience. They are first in the league at 37 attempts from 3-point range per game and have set an NBA record by making 10 or more 3-pointers in 21 consecutive games.Im just settling in on my role and my role is definitely to bring a different energy and scoring, playmaking with the second unit, Gordon told reporters. Im settling in and its getting better and better. Teammates look for me and its just up to me to knock down shots.Houston (15-7) is carrying a four-game winning streak while Oklahoma City (14-8) has won six in a row.Even though its been less than a month since the last time the Rockets were in the Chesapeake Energy Arena, Donovan says neither team is playing the same.I dont think it is so much that Houston has changed, Donovan said. Theyre evolving and getting better. I would hope that were doing the same thing. Were evolving, were getting better. Were improving. Teez Tabor Jersey .

The latest UK-based apprentice to travel to Victoria for a summer riding stint will hit the city arena in Melbourne for the first time when he rides at Sandown. Ben Chiarot Jersey .English apprentice Patrick Paddy Pilley started a three-month loan with Flemington trainer Nigel Blackiston a couple of weeks ago and has already registered a winner at Geelong aboard Surge Ahead for trainer Vincent Malady.The 19-year-old will ride the Blackiston-trained Sonsee Array and Amortise on Wednesday.Pilley rode both horses in their most recent starts while on Sunday he was aboard the Blackiston-trained Amarela who finished fourth in the Listed Kilmore Cup.The trainer said he could not have asked for more from that ride.Hes ridden a winner, a couple of placings and if you watch his ride in the Kilmore Cup on my mare, it was a fantastic run, Blackiston said.From the outside barrier, to get home and run fourth it was a beautiful ride.Hes a very good horseman, typical of those European styles the way hes been taught.Hes a very capable young man and claims two kilos in the country and in the metropolitan area.Oisin Murphy had a successful summer stint in Melbourne with trainer Danny OBrien in 2013/14.Murphy, now the retained rider in Britain for Qatar Racing, rode a feature race winner for Blackiston during that time aboard Outback Joe in the Bagot Handicap on New Years day.Blackiston said a recommendation from Murphy led to Pilleys stint with his stable.Kieran Shoemark is another who has had summer stints in Melbourne, while last summer Tom Marquand made his mark when he spent a few weeks with the Lindsay Park team.Pilley had his first Australian ride on six-year-old Amortise who finished sixth in a benchmark 64 (1400m) at Bendigo on November 9 at his first start for 12 months.Amortise steps to 1800m in the Polytrack Handicap while three-year-old filly Sonsee Array chases a maiden win in the Moorookyle Park Stud Plate (1800m) after making ground when fourth in a 1600m maiden at Moe last start.Blackiston also has Itchikoo Park in that race.I thought it was a nice run from Amortise first-up and he can take good benefit from that but he will improve more with another run under his belt, Blackiston said.Sonsee Array, I thought her run was excellent the other day on an unsuitable sort of track at Moe. She got around the turns and finished off strongly.I think the extra distance will suit her down to the ground. Dale Hawerchuk Jersey .

Pop N Scotch has been back in Queensland for more than five months but a lack of options in his home state has prompted trainer Liam Birchley to send the unpredictable stayer to Sydney.Birchley admits Pop N Scotch is a long shot to win Saturdays Listed Christmas Cup (2400m) at Randwick.But the Eagle Farm trainer is hoping the horse can show shades of the form which has brought three seconds in the Queensland Cup.Theres no races up here past 2200 metres, Birchley said.A lack of options was also the catalyst for the Victorian interlude in Pop N Scotchs career.While Eagle Farm was being redeveloped Birchley took Pop N Scotch to Victoria late last year where he performed well in a strong form race at Geelong and after another three starts he stayed for an unsuccessful stint with Darren Weir.He returned to Birchley earlier in the year for an agonising third defeat in a Queensland Cup and was sent to the paddock for a speell. Cheap Adidas Jets Jerseys. Birchley said his second-up run in his current preparation over 2200m was encouraging but a subsequent disappointment over the same distance at Eagle Farm on December 3 showed signs he needed further.Some days with him you dont know what youre going to get unfortunately, Birchley said.Trainer Peter Robl has veteran Iggi Pop in the race after a gutsy third in the Listed ATC Cup (2000m) at Rosehill on December 3.He was terrific. All his runs this time in have been great, Robl said.The eight-year-old hasnt won since the Queensland Cup in July 2014, when he consigned Pop N Scotch to one of his three runner-up finishes in the race.Robl said the 2400m and getting in with the minimum 54kgs would work in Iggi Pops favour.Hes going as good as hes gone while Ive had him, Robl said.
