MANCHESTER, England -- The established order is fighting back in these early days of the English Premier League season -- and there are some familiar names atop the scoring charts, too. Cole Hamels Jersey .Manchester City and Chelsea both won Saturday to join Manchester United in achieving back-to-back victories at the start of the new campaign.Sergio Aguero scored two first-half goals -- one from the penalty spot -- to set City on its way to a 4-1 win at Stoke, continuing the teams impressive start to life under new coach Pep Guardiola.Like Guardiola, Chelsea coach Antonio Conte also is in his first season in English football and has begun with consecutive 2-1 wins, the latest coming at Watford. Diego Costa scored an 87th-minute winner at Vicarage Road, five days after an 89th-minute clincher against West Ham.City, United and Chelsea all failed to finish in the top three last season, capping an unpredictable campaign that saw 5,000-1 shot Leicester win the league in an upset for the ages. The chastened trio has spent a combined $500 million in the offseason to avoid a repeat and early results suggest it is unlikely to happen.As for Leicester, the champions are still searching for the first win of their title defense after a 0-0 draw at home to Arsenal, in a game between the top two teams from last season. Both sides are on one point.The only other team on maximum points from the opening two games is Hull, which comes as something of a surprise.The northeast club has started the season with only 13 fit senior players, no permanent manager, no new signings and with owners looking to sell up. But Hull followed up the win over Leicester by beating Swansea 2-0 away on Saturday, through late goals by Shaun Maloney and Abel Hernandez.Hull plays Man United next weekend.Also Saturday, Liverpool lost 2-0 at promoted Burnley, puncturing the optimism generated from its win at Arsenal on the opening weekend. Everton came from behind to win 2-1 at West Bromwich Albion, and Tottenham beat Crystal Palace 1-0 thanks to a first goal for the club by new midfield signing Victor Wanyama.Aguero has three league goals already this season, along with Man Uniteds Zlatan Ibrahimovic, while Costa has also scored in his first two games. That trio is likely to be competing for the Golden Boot come the end of the season.On Sunday, Sunderland plays Middlesbrough and West Ham hosts Bournemouth.United has eased to its two wins under new coach Jose Mourinho, and City followed suit with only its second win at Stoke in nine attempts in the Premier League.Theres plenty of change at City this season but one constant remains -- Aguero as a regular supply of goals. Counting the three he scored against Steaua Bucharest in a Champions League playoff match on Tuesday, the Argentina striker has six goals in three games so far.He failed to score off two penalties against Steaua but stayed on spot-kick duty against Stoke and slotted away his effort in the 27th after Ryan Shawcross was punished for pulling back Nicolas Otamendi. Agueros second was a header from Kevin De Bruynes free kick.Bojan Krkic also scored a penalty for Stoke, but Nolito made the game safe for City with tap-ins in the final minutes after coming on as a substitute.Chelseas win was harder to come by at Vicarage Road.Watford looked on course for its first Premier League victory over Chelsea since 1999 when Etienne Capoue smashed a left-footed shot into the top corner in the 55th.Watford goalkeeper Heurelho Gomes was partially at fault for Chelseas equalizer in the 80th, failing to hold Eden Hazards long-range shot and allowing Belgium striker Michy Batshuayi -- one of Chelseas two offseason signings -- to score from the rebound.Costa then ran onto a brilliant through-ball from Cesc Fabregas and shot past Gomes. Martin Perez Jersey . Deulofeu injured a muscle in his right leg in Evertons 4-1 win over Fulham in the English Premier League on Saturday. Barcelona says that its team doctors will "co-ordinate" with Evertons medical staff as Deulofeu recovers. Prince Fielder Jersey .25 million option on reliever Jose Veras. http://www.authenticrangerspro.com/customized/ . Michell Burger, a woman who lives on an estate next to Pistorius gated community, said she and her husband were awoken by the screams in the pre-dawn hours of Feb. 14 last year, when Pistorius killed Reeva Steenkamp by shooting four times through a door in his bathroom. PHILADELPHIA -- New York Mets right-hander Jacob deGrom established himself as a rising star last season.Philadelphia Phillies rookie righty Zach Eflin is just beginning to establish himself, period.The two pitchers square off Sunday afternoon, when the Mets and Phillies play the rubber game of their three-game series in Citizens Bank Park.DeGrom (5-4, 2.61) has recently begun to show the dominating form he displayed last year, when he went 14-8 with a 2.54 ERA during the regular season and 3-1 with a 2.88 ERA in four postseason starts for the National League champions.He has gone 2-0 with a 1.35 ERA and 20 strikeouts (compared to four walks) in 20 innings over his last three starts, and his last time out he worked seven innings in a 4-2 victory over Miami. He allowed two runs on six hits while striking out seven and walking two.He escaped a bases-loaded jam in the first inning unscathed, and thereafter only allowed solo homers to Giancarlo Stanton in the fourth and sixth innings.(I feel) better than where I started, deGrom said afterward, according to Major League Baseballs official web site. Things are starting to come back, and I was pretty happy about today.He is 3-0 with a 3.03 ERA in six career starts against the Phillies, and the Mets have won all six of those outings.Eflin (2-2, 4.08) was hit hard by Toronto in his first major league start, on June 14, allowing nine runs (eight earned) on nine hits in 2 2/3 innings, but since then he has gone 2-1 with a 2.20 ERA. He earned his first major league victory on July 5, going the distance to beat Atlanta 5-1, then followed that up with a 10-3 victory in Colorado five days later.Over his last two starts, he has gone 15 innings and yielded three runs on 13 hits while striking out nine and walking two.You just cant live in the past, Eflin said of his bouncebaack, according to MLB. Russell Wilson Jersey. com. Youve just always got to have your head high. I learn after every outing and I learned a lot after that one (against the Rockies). Ive done a good job of just keeping the ball down and throwing all of the pitches for strikes and keeping the hitters guessing.The Mets won the series opener 5-3, but the Phillies answered with a 4-2 victory Saturday night, as Maikel Franco drove in the go-ahead run with a seventh-inning single.Franco is hitting .370 over his last 18 games, raising his average from .235 to .265, and has 17 RBI in his last 15. His 18 homers and 54 RBI lead the team and are third among major league third basemen, and on Saturday he blooped the first pitch he saw from Mets reliever Hansel Robles -- a 97 mph fastball -- into left field to snap a 2-2 tie.I know it was a good situation for me, Franco said. I just want to put the ball in play. Something good happened, and Im glad something good happened for me, and for my team, too.Franco had shown considerable promise in his first extended big league trial in 2015, hitting .280 with 14 homers and 50 RBI in 80 games, but found himself in the throes of a frustrating slump earlier this season.That is now behind him.He looks like hes staying on the ball better, manager Pete Mackanin said. Hes fouling off some tough pitches to right field. Hes just not flying off the ball like he has been, and hes getting results.Mackanin added that Franco is real close to resembling the player he was a year ago.Hes going to have a good year, Mackanin said. I think hes only going to get better as the season goes along.The Phillies have won 11 of their last 15 games, while the Mets have dropped four of five.

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. NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- Pekka Rinnes toughest test came 6 minutes into the game.Nashvilles goalie made a huge save early on, and James Neal and P.K. Subban each had a goal and an assist to lead the Predators over the Ottawa Senators 3-1 on Tuesday night.Ryan Ellis also scored for Nashville, and Rinne stopped 33 shots. The Predators had lost their previous two games in shootouts.Rinnes best save came at 5:59 of the first period. After defenseman Mattias Ekholm turned the puck over inside the Nashville zone, Ottawas Bobby Ryan had an unchallenged shot from the slot that Rinne stopped to keep the game scoreless.Of course that gives you confidence, Rinne said. The crowds response and everything like that, its a big boost. Thats one of those things that you just battle to make that save and once in a while, you get that save.It was one of 13 stops Rinne made in the opening period.I did everything right on it, Ryan said. Youre supposed to raise the puck and go for the far side. He made an incredible save. So sometimes you tip your cap.Kyle Turris scored and Craig Anderson made 27 saves for Ottawa, which has lost consecutive games.Nashville has defeated the Senators in five of the last six matchups.Neal scored the games first goal 46 seconds into the second. On a delayed penalty to the Senators, Subban carried the puck around the Ottawa zone. He passed to Roman Josi, who found Neal in the slot, where he fired a shot past Anderson.The first 10 games, to be honest with you, I dont think Ive really been at my best, Subban said. I dont know why that is, but Im just fluid and skating out there. This game, I just felt better and I felt I had my legs under me. When I feel that way, I can create and open up some space.. Jose Reyes Jersey. .Subban doubled the Nashville lead at 3:52 of the second on a slap shot from the right point through traffic. Subban had been held without a goal in his last seven games.P.K., I thought, was real good, Nashville coach Peter Laviolette said. I thought he got the puck out of our end well. He got out of our end with speed sometimes and jumped into the offense. When we got to the offensive zone, I thought he did a good job of picking and choosing his spots to add offensively.Both of Subbans points came at even strength. Entering the game, five of his six points had come on the power play.Ellis made it 3-0 at 2:23 of the third with a slap shot from the top of the right circle. The goal was his first of the season.Turris ruined Rinnes shutout bid at 5:20 of the third with his team-leading sixth goal.They are a free-wheeling team, Ottawa coach Guy Boucher said. Theyve got high-end skill and we didnt want to fall into their game, but we did. We tried to get it back after that and we hurt ourselves. We had a push in the third, but we couldnt get that second one there to keep that push going. We got away from how we play.Game notes Nashville C Mike Fisher missed his third consecutive game with an upper-body injury. ... Predators LW Pontus Aberg made his NHL regular-season debut. He appeared in two playoff games for Nashville last season. ... The Senators successfully killed off all three Nashville power plays. Ottawa has not allowed a power-play goal in its last seven games.UP NEXTSenators: Travel to Buffalo on Wednesday.Predators: Host the St. Louis Blues on Thursday.

Danish odd couple Soren Kjeldsen and Thorbjorn Olesen complemented each other perfectly at Kingston Heath on Friday, flirting with a rare 59 before settling for a three-shot lead at the halfway stage of the World Cup of golf. Adolphus Washington Jersey .Kjeldsen got the Danes off to a flyer in the best-ball format by holing out from 152 yards for eagle on the third hole.Olesen -- who has previously enjoyed success in Australia as the winner of the 2014 Perth International -- chipped in at the eighth as the pair amassed two eagles and eight birdies.They finished a dream day at 12-under-par, three shots clear of Chinas Wu Ashun and Haotong Li, with first-round leaders Rafael Cabrera Bello and Jon Rahm from Spain a stroke further back in outright third place.Americans Rickie Fowler and Jimmy Walker were in a tie for fourth at seven under.Australians Adam Scott and Marc Leishman were all but out of contention after battling to a four-under 68. It left the local favourites 10 shots off the pace in a tie for 18th as they struggled to build any real momentum on a cold, windy day at Kingston Heath.Kjeldsen said the strength of his partnership with Olesen was their contrasting styles.Temperament-wise I dont think were that different but game-wise were very different, said the 41-year-old, who has won four times on the European Tour.Thorbjorn is very flashy, he hits it very far off the tee and overall just has an amazing game, whereas Im like a train -- I arrive on time but without too much of the flashy stuff.Both Danes had previously shot 61s in individual strokeplay, with Olesen admitting the magical figure of 59 crossed his mind after a fifth successive birdie on the 14th.In the end they could only manage one more birdie -- on the 18th -- for a 12-under 60.I didnt know what the par was on this course but I thought 13 under would definitely make it, said the 26-year-old Olesen.I had it in my mind and I was still trying to play the same golf and be aggressive.We came up one short but Soren hit an amazing shot into 18 and it was great to finish that way.Scott and Leishman will need a major change in fortunes at the weekend if Australia are to successfully defend the World Cup crown.Leishman started and finished his day well with birdies on the first and 18th holes.I certainly didnt play the way I wouldve liked, he said. But thats golf and it can do that to you. Im still staying positive, hoping weve saved all of our good stuff for the weekend. Shareece Wright Jersey . Giroud, who wasnt in the starting lineup for two matches after allegations about his private life and a decline in form, scored twice in the first half. Tomas Rosickys chip made it 3-0 before half time at Emirates Stadium, while defender Laurent Koscielny scored an unmarked header in the second half. Dion Dawkins Jersey .

SAN DIEGO -- The Padres Travis Jankowski was a pest to the Brewers, which helped make winners out of San Diego on Monday night.Jankowski had three hits and two walks and San Diego snapped Milwaukees four-game winning streak, 7-3.Get on base five times in the leadoff spot, thats what youre looking for, Padres manager Andy Green said. Hes a game-changer on the base paths. The story of the game is obviously Travis Jankowski.The Padres center fielder said he needed a game like Mondays.Coming back from the break I wasnt playing my best baseball, he said. So getting that game and getting a couple of hits and getting the confidence back is huge for me.Yangervis Solarte drove in two runs, with his second hit being the key blow during a five-run fifth.Carlos Villanueva (2-2) pitched 2 2/3 innings in relief of starter Jarred Cosart, allowing two runs and two hits. Villanueva was the first of four Padres relievers.Milwaukees Jimmy Nelson (6-10) ran into trouble in the fifth when the Padres went ahead 6-2 and exited with four innings pitched and eight hits allowed. It was the second time San Diego beat Nelson this season, and overall hes lost seven of his last eight decisions.There arent words that can describe how frustrated I am, Nelson said. Im definitely feeling every negative emotion you can think of.In the fifth, Alexi Amarista had an RBI single, Solarte added a two-run single, Ryan Schimpf tripled in Solarte and Adam Rosales sacrifice fly scored Schimpf.(Nelson) just didnt have his best stuff tonight, thats for sure, Brewers manager Craig Counsell said.Amarista left after advancing to third on Wil Myers double. Amarista strained his left hamstring -- he missed 27 games this year with an injured right hamstring.Milwaukee pulled within 6-3 on Chris Carters 25th homer of the season.The Brewers seized a 2-1 advantage on Hernan Perezs homer in the fifth, a twwo-run shot off Villanueva which scored Scooter Gennett after Gennetts single extended his hitting streak to a career-high 11 games. LeSean McCoy Jersey. Perezs 381-foot home run was on an 88-mph fastball that just cleared the right-field fence.Cosart made his Padres debut after Fridays seven-player trade with the Miami Marlins. He got off to a shaky start, walking his first two batters before wiggling from the jam. In the second and third, he was supported by double plays in each inning to escape damage.But Cosarts lack of command contributed to him lasting but 3 1/3 innings. He didnt allow a run and just one hit, but he walked six batters, hit another one and was gone after 77 pitches.We ultimately didnt get the hit to make him pay for it, Counsell said.ORLANDO COMINGTop Brewers prospect Orlando Arcia will be called up Tuesday night to start at shortstop. Jonathan Villar will slide to third base to make space. The 21-year-old Arcia is hitting .267 with eight homers and 15 stolen bases in 100 games with Triple-A Colorado Springs this season.TRAINERS ROOMBrewers: OF Ryan Braun (sore right side) remained out of the starting lineup but is expected to start on Tuesday.Padres: OF Alex Dickerson (right hip contusion) was able to pinch-hit and could start later in the series.UP NEXTBrewers: RHP Zach Davies (8-4, 3.59) was sensational in four July starts with three wins, a 1.71 ERA, and a 17-4 strikeout-to-walk ratio. Davies has won one of his two career starts against the Padres.Padres: RHP Luis Perdomo (5-4, 6.89) is coming off two road wins and has allowed three earned runs or less in his last seven starts.

The news was first reported on Gonzalezs Twitter account and confirmed by the Rockies. Gonzalez has a six-week window before position players have their first workout at spring training in Arizona. LUBBOCK, Texas -- Skyler Howard and his West Virginia teammates have had a goal all season to score at least 40 points.They did it and then some on Saturday as the 20th-ranked Mountaineers shut down Texas Tech 48-17. Howard ran for two touchdowns and threw for another to keep the Mountaineers unbeaten and in the hunt for the Big 12 title.It shows that we can do it, Howard said. It all goes back to the confidence.The Mountaineers (5-0, 2-0 Big 12) held Texas Tech (3-3, 1-2) to its lowest offensive output this season, just 379 yards, and harassed quarterback Patrick Mahomes most of the day. He threw for 305 yards, his second-lowest passing total of the season, and was replaced in the fourth quarter by Nic Shimonek.A 14-point turnaround in the second quarter helped the Mountaineers gain momentum. Sean Walters interception at the West Virginia 11 led to a TD pass from Howard to Justin Crawford at the other end of the field to put the Mountaineers up 17-7.We made some plays, got a good lead, Mountaineers coach Dana Holgorsen said. We were able to control the ball and shorten the game. Thats, in a perfect world, what we wanted to happen and thats what happened.Howard completed 21 of 31 passes for 318 yards. Rushel Shell, who finished with 104 yards rushing for West Virginia, scored two rushing TDs in the fourth quarter as the Mountaineers pulled away.The Mountaineers got solid play from their defense all game, adding to the mojo the offense felt, Howard saidIts always good when the other side of the ball is doing great, he said. The whole team has confidence.Texas Tech coach Kliff Kingsbury said his teams performance was embarrassing and not what he expected.Its the worst Ive seen since Ive been associated with Texas Tech, he said. We seemed intimidated and they took it.Kingsbury said some missed practices might be affecting Mahomes rhythm with the team. Holgorsen, though, thought the juniior quarterback was off a bit physically. Thomas Rawls Jersey. ahomes, he needs to get healthy, Holgorsen said. You can tell hes not quite 100 percent right now. But the way he keeps it alive, Ive never seen anything like it. He keeps his eyes down field, makes any throw that you want him to. I mean, hes a fantastic player.TAKEAWAYSWest Virginia: The Mountaineers improved their success dramatically in the red zone. Coming into the game, West Virginia had found the end zone on just eight of 18 trips inside opponents 20 (44 percent). They scored on each of their eight trips there Saturday.Texas Tech: The Red Raiders streak of nine home games with at least 50 points -- an NCAA record -- ended with this loss. Their offense was stymied in every facet by West Virginias defense. Texas Techs run game, which typically sets up the pass, was nearly nonexistent. They finished with just 34 rushing yards.POLL IMPLICATIONS: Its not likely that West Virginia will move up much in The AP Poll after downing an unranked team. But one never knows. They moved up two spots after a bye last weekend.TOO FEW POINTSTexas Techs 17 points were the fewest the Red Raiders have scored since falling to Texas 34-13 in 2014. The second-quarter shutout by WVU snapped a streak of 28 straight quarters in which the Red Raiders have scored.INTERCEPTION STREAKWalters interception was the first of his career, and the team now has one in four straight games. The Mountaineers have forced a turnover in all five games this season and in 10 of their last 11. Walters interception was WVUs sixth of the season.UP NEXT:West Virginia: The Mountaineers host TCU next Saturday.Texas Tech: The Red Raiders host Oklahoma, which is led by former Texas Tech QB Baker Mayfield.---This story corrects spelling of Skyler Howard.

Geeongs ignominious end to the 2016 AFL season still doesnt sit well with Patrick Dangerfield, the Brownlow medallist demanding a lift across the board from the Cats. Ty Montgomery Jersey .Geelongs premiership tilt was effectively over at quarter-time of their preliminary final after Sydneys devastating seven-goals-to-nil opening blitz.Dangerfield admitted the manner of the resounding defeat still irks him as the clubs full playing list came together for pre-season training.I think it will be in the back of the mind for a fair while ... it was a bitterly disappointing way to finish the season, but we look forward to 2017, Dangerfield told reporters on Wednesday.Id be lying if I said it wasnt in the back of my mind, but we need to look forward.Dangerfield, who was the runaway Brownlow Medal winner just days after the Cats finals exit, still has areas of his game he wants to improve.But he and midfield partner Joel Selwood could barely have done much more against the Swans, gathering 39 disposals each.The former Adelaide star agreed a more even contribution was required for his side to be a legitimate challenger.I think we all need to share the load better ... we need to perform better for each other, he said.We were too inconsistent when we really required our very best at the pointy end of the season.The good teams perform consistently and thats what we need to strive to get to.Other teams around us are improving as well ... GWS, Sydney and the Western Bulldogs - Im sure theyre not resting on their laurels.Mercurial midfielder Steve Motlop looms as a key factor next year after an inconsistent 2016 campaign saw him put up for trade by the Cats, who found no suitors.After returning from holidays out of shape last year, Motlop cut a lean figure at Simonds Stadium on Wednesday.Steves in really good shape, which is really good to see, Dangerfield said.Hes one of the best players in the competition when he plays at his best so we need that and we need it consistently and Im confident hell be able to do that.

Indians 93 for 3 (Rahul 30*) trail by WICB Presidents XI 180 (Cornwall 41, Jadeja 3-16, Ashwin 3-62) by 87 runsScorecardThe Indian spinners made up for the absence of fast bowlers Ishant Sharma, Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Umesh Yadav - all rested - by dismissing WICB Presidents XI for 180 on the opening day of their three-day fixture at Warner Park in Basseterre.They accounted for eight wickets, with R Ashwin and Ravindra Jadeja picking up three apiece.

Jermaine Blackwood, named in West Indies squad of 13 for the first Test in Antigua, was the second-highest scorer with 36, while opener John Campbell made 34.We didnt do our talent any justice by getting bowled out for 180, Leon Johnson, the WICB Presidents XI captain, said after the days play. The pitch was two paced, there was some moisture in it early on. John (Campbell) played exceptionally well this morning until a rush of blood against Ashwin. He showed good composure, while Cornwall was his usual self, but overall we could have batted better.Fast bowler Shardul Thakur, one of four changes in the Indian XI - Stuart Binny, Ashwin and Jadeja being the others - dismissed Johnson in the eighth over after the hosts chose to bat. Campbell was the next to go when he was deceived in flight by Ashwiin to be stumped by Wriddhiman Saha, and Binny removed Shai Hope, the centurion from the first tour game last week, shortly before lunch. LaDarius Gunter Jersey. adeja picked up three wickets in the second session to leave the hosts precariously placed. The tailenders hung around for 8.3 overs, adding 37 for the last two wickets, before Ashwin wrapped up the innings in the 63rd over.Im playing the longer format after a long time. Match fitness is important, and I wanted to bowl a long spell, Jadeja said after the days play. The way I was bowling, I felt I was getting into Test match mode. I didnt want to experiment. There was slow turn and bounce, so I just wanted to land the ball in the right areas. Our bowling plan as a group was to eliminate the boundary ball, and not give away easy singles.Jadeja was confident of Indias spin trio delivering irrespective of conditions. All three of us have different styles and we bowl at different speeds, so thats a good thing, he said. Its tough for the batsmen to judge because we also bowl different lengths. West Indies will find it tough if tracks offer turn. Weve done well at home together, so the plan will be to continue the same should we all play in the XI.Dawes and Chemar Holder, a member of West Indies Under-19 World Cup winning squad earlier this year, removed Shikhar Dhawan (9) and M Vijay (23) in consecutive overs after the openers saw off 10 overs. Pujara then contributed 28 in a 59-run stand before falling to Cornwalls off-spin in the dying moments of play.

For as long as it has been played, the All-Star Game pits the best of one league against the best of the other. Laurent Brossoit Jersey . The demigods, with their crisp uniforms and perfect swings, perform under the lights with a certain grace and aura that few can ever hope to match. Its the Midsummer Classic, after all.But, as of Friday, thats all about to change.Enter 43-year-old marvel Bartolo Colon.Mets and National League All-Star manager Terry Collins named Colon to the team in place of Madison Bumgarner, who will be unable to pitch during the game because of a scheduled start Sunday for the San Francisco Giants.A fan favorite with a complicated history, Colon brings a lighthearted appeal to an exhibition game that tries to be taken seriously.So heres why you should be thankful that the pitcher known affectionately as Big Sexy will take the field Tuesday night in San Diego:1. Everybody loves Bart Theres no one in baseball right now who surpasses Colon when it comes to unconditional love -- from players and fans alike. Nationals pitcher Gio Gonzalez told ESPN.coms Kevin Van Valkenburg, I think everybody just loves Big Sexy. From his helmets continuous struggle to stay glued on his head while hes swinging and running, to his joyful reactions, Colon brings the one attribute that an All-Star Game needs most: fun.2. His stats dont matter In an era when almost everything in baseball is boiled down to numbers, Colon transcends stats. Sure, his 3.28 ERA is solid, as is his 7-4 record. Plus, Colon really uses only one pitch: a fastball, which he hurls almost 88 percent of the time, according to Fangraphs. So the numbers dont add up. He shouldnt be good. But he is. And thats awesome.3. Hes a human highlight real A big part of Colons appeal is his carefree approach to the game. For example, most people, and nearly all pitchers, would stop and make a conventional throw after fielding a ground ball. Colon? Nope. He prefers to flip the ball to first behind his back.Or, he might make a Willie Mays-esque basket catch. Any comebacker will be an adventure.4. Hes a hit Madison Bumgarner is the best-hitting pitcher in baseball. But if theres any ballpark where Colon can make up for the difference from the man hes replacing on the roster, its San Diegos Petco Park, where he has slugged .800 over his career -- OK, he has had only five at-bats there, but still a pretty cool number. Plus, he did this there: As for the possibility he gets an at-bat during the game, Colon played it coy, telling reporters Friday, I pray to God it doesnt happen. A refreshingly humble star. Perfect.5. (All-) Stars -- theyre just like us! At 43, Colon is the oldest player in the majors this season. The soon-to-be four-time All-Star made his first appearance in the game way back in 1998, when he managed to get the win despite giving up three earned runs. So how is he able to excel nearly two decades later? One reason may be his stretching routine, which seems to have little basis in scientific evidence and pays special attention to his all-important core. If and when Collins calls Colon into the game, hell be the third-oldest pitcher ever to take the mound in an All-Star Game, according to ESPN Stats and Info. Oscar Klefbom Jersey . -- Team after team passed on Andre Ellington in the draft. Ryan Smyth Jersey .7 million, one-year contract, a raise of $2.2 million.

Miller finished in two minutes, 6.09 seconds, one day before the first medal race on the Alpine schedule. The 36-year-old American also turned in the top time in Thursdays opening training session.COLUMBUS, Ohio -- Federico Higuains penalty kick in the 69th minute rallied the Columbus Crew to a 1-1 tie against the Houston Dynamo on Saturday after Warren Creavalle had given the Dynamo a first-half lead. The Crew (4-4-5) have a 1-2-3 record at home and have not won in the past three matches at Crew Stadium despite taking six of the games seven shots on goal. "We created chances. Im not frustrated," Crew coach Robert Warzycha said. "The guys gave everything on the field. The attitude was good. The speed of play was good. The passing was good." Houston (6-4-4) is 0-2-2 in its past four games and 0-3-6 against the Crew in the past nine meetings, but coach Dominic Kinnear was happy with the point considering he lost Eric Brunner and Adam Moffat to injuries in the first half. "You prefer to use your subs in the second half if you can, but to go down a midfielder and a defender; I wasnt expecting it," Kinnear said. Jujhar Khaira Jersey. "It happens sometimes and you ask guys to do something they werent expected to do from the first minute." Making his first start, Crew rookie defender Chad Barson drew a foul by Andrew Driver with a cutback on the right side of the box to earn the penalty. "I tried to step to the ball and beat the other guy to it," Barson said." Luckily, I got a touch and he took me down." Higuain ended a 294-minute home scoreless drought for the Crew by converting his third penalty in four tries this season. He has four goals. Houston earlier got in front on Creavalles third goal. He ran into unmarked space as Kofi Sarkodie dribbled to the right corner. Sarkodie sent a cross that Creavalle one-timed past goalkeeper Andy Gruenebaum.

Kelso won the Jockey Club Gold Cup five straight years, Forego won four consecutive runnings of the Woodward, and a host of good horses have dominated a particular event three years in a row, including Goldikova (the Breeders Cup Mile), Discovery (the Brooklyn and the Whitney), Native Diver (the Hollywood Gold Cup), and John Henry (the Oak Tree Invitational). Tashaun Gipson Jersey .Now comes Living The Life, owned by software entrepreneur Hank Nothhaft, who on Monday will make her annual pilgrimage to the banks of Lake Erie for the $400,000 Presque Isle Downs Masters, a Grade 2 event for fillies and mares at 6-1/2 furlongs on Tapeta. If she can handle stout competition like Birdatthewire, Elusive Collection, and Bar of Gold, Living The Life can lay claim to a high-class three-peat of her own.In 2014, while making only her second start in the U.S., the Irish mare won the Masters by half a length over Disco Barbie in 1:15.26. Last year, Living The Life beat the favored Leigh Court by three-quarters of a length in 1:15.17.In fact, the Masters is the only real constant in Living The Lifes world. She is a very talented square peg in the round hole of U.S. racing, which places older female synthetic-track sprinters well down on the food chain, unless their name is Groupie Doll or Judy the Beauty.Since she joined the Gary Mandella stable in the spring of 2014 after handsome all-weather-track wins in England, Living The Life has run in 12 races other than the Masters, as varied as 6-1/2 furlongs down the Santa Anita hillside turf course to 1-1/8 miles on dirt.She has won a Grade 3 race at a mile on Tapeta at Golden Gate Fields, finished second in the Grade 2 Great Lady M. at 6-1/2 furlongs on dirt, and was third in the Grade 1 Santa Margarita last winter at Santa Anita in a field of five. This is considered good management, especially when horses like Living The Life had the synthetic rug pulled out from under them in Southern California.Not too many days go by when I dont think about how shed run on synthetic at Santa Anita in the Breeders Cup Filly and Mare Sprint, Mandella said. So, weve had to be a little creative, and shes been able to add some things on the dirt to her résumé, which was a nice surprise.Living The Life is 6, which makes her the same age as Beholder. They trained in proximity at Del Mar, where the younger Mandella shares space in one of the massive multipurpose barns with his Hall of Fame father, Richard.Shes really athletic, much more a ballerina to Beholders backyard bully, Gary said. She weighs like 300 pounds less than Beholder, but shes just so nimble and light on her feet, and she has a heart of gold.Most owners and trainers would be tempted to pack Living The Life in bubble wrap right after the Masters each year and not risk missing the next one. This, Gary Mandella noted, would go contrary to the spirit of the exercise.You cant just do nothing, the trainer said. Youve got to take a few shots.To that end, they stretched her out earlier this year and even tried her against the boys on May 30 at Golden Gate in the All American, in which Living The Life ran the best race, by the numbers, of her U.S. career. There were high hopes for her subsequent start in the Southern Truce at Santa Anita, and the players agreed, making Living The Life the firm favorite at 1-1/16 miles on dirt. To everyones shock, she was eased home last of seven.She came out of that race with a big, nasty stone bruise, Mandella said. I just have to think she found a misplaced rock out there because its very unlike her to come up with something like that.Mandella was able to train the mare without interruption during Del Mar, where she turned in a couple of bullet works as if the bruise were ancient history. She has been at Presque Isle since Sept. 7, getting reacquainted with the surface ? and the wildlife.The races there had to be suspended briefly last summer because deer were encroaching on the track. By the time the 2015 Masters came around, order was restored, but the wildlife still lurked.Joe Bravo told me she saw them last year in the post parade, and she didnt like them, said Mandella, who has Flavien Prat aboard this time. Joe wasnt sure if shed even break out of the gate.Higher perimeter fences have dealt with Bambi and his pals. This year, the challenge could come from the weather since rain is predicted through the weekend, clearing Monday.She might find a different version of the racetrack shes been on the last two years, the trainer said. Although in California, when synthetic tracks got rain, they seemed to get better and have more bounce.Mandella has not been pricing local lakeside real estate in case Living The Life keeps coming back year after year after year. He was, however, more than halfway there on Friday morning, sticking his hand in the air at the Keeneland pavilion during the yearling sale.We got a very nice filly for $60,000, Mandella said.The next Living The Life?We can hope.

Kyle Hendricks Jersey . A lawyer for MLB, Matthew Menchel, confirmed Wednesday the league dropped its case against Biogenesis of America, its owner Anthony Bosch and several other individuals. The lawsuit had accused Biogenesis and Bosch of conspiring with players to violate their contracts by providing them with banned performance-enhancing substances. http://www.cubsteamproshop.com/cubs-kyle-schwarber-jersey/ . -- Most satisfying to Russ Smith about No. LATROBE, Pa. -- Pittsburgh Steelers linebacker James Harrison doesnt want to face a suspension. He is also not interested in talking to NFL representatives, either.The NFLs senior vice president of labor policy and league affairs, Adolpho Birch, sent a letter Monday to the NFL Players Association detailing a plan to indefinitely suspend Harrison, Clay Matthews, Julius Peppers and Mike Neal if they dont speak with the league by Aug. 25 as part of its investigation into an alleged link to performance-enhancing drugs.The players punishment would end at the discretion of Commissioner Roger Goodell once interviews are completed, according to the letter obtained by The Associated Press.Harrison said he isnt interested.Im not going to answer questions for every little thing that some Tom, Dick and Harry comes up with, Harrison said. If thats the case, somebody can come out and say that James Harrison is a pedophile. (Are) they going to suspend me and put me in an investigation for being a pedophile just because somebody said it?Harrison said he doesnt want to be suspended, but he is prepared to take the situation as far as New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady, who fought his four-game Deflategate suspension for 18 months -- nearly to the U.S. Supreme Court -- before deciding to no longer proceed with the legal process. His suspension begins next month.When it comes down to it, I want to play, but its certain rules and things they need to go through that they didnt even go through just to start an investigation, Harrison said at training camp.Harrison said in June he would only agree to an interview if it were at his home and Goodell was present. He extended his invitation again on Tuesday.Like I said before, I dont have a problem with doing an interview, Harrison said. Come to my house. Bring Roger with you.Harrison said he would lean in the direction of speaking with the league if the Steelers suggest an interview because he doesnt want to let his teammates and the organization down.Ill have to deal with that when the time comes, Harrison said.Steelers coach Mike Tomlin said he is staying out of it.This has nothing to do with us, Tomlin said. This is between him and the (NFLPA) and the league. I assume that he is going to do what he needs to do.Goodells power to punish players has been an increasingly difficult issue between the NFL and the union in recent years, highlighted by the Brady case and that of Vikings running back Adrian Peterson , who fought his suspension over allegations of child abuse.Harrison, a 14-year veteran, is a longtime leader of the Steelers. Matthews and Peppers are key players for Green Bays defense, and Neal is currently a free agent who spent the past six seasons with the Packers.Matthews and Peppers did not talk with reporters on Tuesday. Chicago Cubs Jerseys. Green Bay general manager Ted Thompson said the Packers would support the players, but declined to discuss the case.Everybody in the worlds going to be talking about it, but Im not going to have anything to say about it, the Packers will not have anything to say about it until it gets resolved, Thompson said. Youd rather have those players than not. Im not saying that we wouldnt miss `em if they are not able to play.The NFL first notified the four players on Jan. 11 about the investigation into a report by Al-Jazeera including allegations made by Charlie Sly, who worked as an intern at an anti-aging clinic, about the use of PEDs by several athletes, including the four linebackers. Sly later recanted his claims. Retired quarterback Peyton Manning was also cited in the report, but the NFL cleared him after a separate investigation in which the Broncos star granted interviews and provided all records sought by league investigators.Birch, in his letter, said the league has made at least seven attempts to arrange interviews with the linebackers. The players have refused to be interviewed without being presented with what theyve called credible evidence. Affidavits were sent by the NFLPA on behalf of the players, but Birch dismissed each as statements wholly devoid of any detail.Harrison said in his statement, sent to Birch on July 25 by the NFLPA, that he never met nor communicated with the source of the Al Jazeera report and has never violated the NFLs policy on performance-enhancing substances.Neither the CBA nor the policy state that a player must agree to an in-person interview based upon random, baseless verbal remarks or face discipline for a failure to cooperate with a league investigation, union attorney Heather McPhee wrote then on Harrisons behalf.Birch cited Article 46 of the collective bargaining agreement in noting the discipline that can come for noncooperation or obstruction.We cannot accept your unilateral assertion that the cursory, untested statements you have submitted satisfy the players obligation, Birch wrote.Harrison said Tuesday that he didnt get a chance to read the letter sent to him by the league and that he is following the advice of union attorneys.Ill do what I have to do, theyll do what they have to do and well make that decision when the time comes, Harrison said. Im just doing what Im advised to do.
