Of course Hope Hornish was going to gravitate toward auto racing. Air Max 97 Prezzo Basso . Its hard to imagine it turning out any other way.She grew up idolizing her uncle, Sam Hornish Jr., who won 19 races, including the 2006 Indianapolis 500 and three championships in IndyCar between 2000 and 2007. Add a love for speed and plenty of support from other family members, and Hopes career choice was easy.Now comes the hard part: getting a real shot.Shes getting her best opportunity yet this week at Floridas New Smyrna Speedway as an invitee to NASCARs 13th annual Drive for Diversity (D4D) combine, a multifaceted tryout for scholarships in stock car racings premier driver development program.Seventeen drivers, including a record-tying 13 females, are competing for spots in the NASCAR Drive for Diversity Class of 2017. At least six berths are available, but that number could grow if any of the six members of the 2016 class are invited back. Ali Kern from the 2016 class and another Whelen All-American Series driver, Maddie Crane, also are in the mix, so all told, 15 females are in the running.Hornish, 19, comes from Defiance, Ohio, and is majoring in political science at Adrian (Michigan) College. She has been racing go-karts and other cars since she was 8. She has also been watching her uncle Sam, who has also competed at NASCARs top level and has a win this season in the Xfinity Series.Were pretty close, Hope said of her relationship with Sam. I hang out with his children, who are my cousins, and we go to church and have family dinners all the time. Hes been a really good mentor as far as being a role model for people who look up to you no matter what you are doing. Hes also been very influential with my life as a Christian.If Hope has a racing question or needs a tip, Sam is just a text message away.I can simply ask him a question, and hell get back to me and give me some insiders or some pointers whenever I need it, Hope said. But I have to ask for it. He doesnt want to step on my toes or anything, and I dont want to bug him too much because I know he has a busy schedule, but hes always there if I need him.Hope began racing late models after graduating from high school in 2015, competing at Angola Motorsport Speedway in Fremont, Indiana. She spent most of this season competing on the JEGS/CRA All-Stars Tour. Racing is expensive, and for Hope, it has been a we effort to this point.We is my parents, April and John Hahn; my grandpa, Sam Hornish [Sr.]; my nana, Joanne; my uncle, Sam; my aunt, Crystal ... my whole family in general, she said. My grandpa has been very influential in my racing career. He has given me a lot of advice and pointers when I need them, and he helps me with the off-track connections and knowing people as far as trying to get my foot in the door in the racing world.Theres a lengthy application for the D4D program, and more than 70 candidates submitted résumés this year, according to NASCAR senior vice president of racing operations Jim Cassidy, who leads the sanctioning bodys multicultural development department.Driving talent isnt the only skill the evaluators will be measuring during the combine, which started Monday and runs through Wednesday after being postponed from Oct. 10-12 because of Hurricane Matthew.First and foremost, were looking for that vision of somebody who is going to be able to compete at a very high level, Cassidy said. In order to compete at a very high level, you have to have a whole lot of natural talent, but you also have to be teachable. If youre not teachable, if youre not a great communicator in the car, that can translate in a way that doesnt optimize what your natural talent is.Gone are the days when the racing jobs went only to the fastest and toughest. The skill set now has to be much broader.Outside of the car, you need to be able to represent Fortune 500 [companies], and be able to interact and represent brands in a way that drives business, Cassidy said. And then, obviously, were looking for young drivers who are ultimately going to represent the sport and understand the significance of their position being the star power of the sport. We want to see personalities, we want to see those come out. We always say it, and its cliché, but we want the entire package.Among the other female candidates are Macy Causey, who at 14 years old was the youngest participant in D4D combine history in 2015, and Hailie Deegan, daughter of Brian Deegan, the most decorated athlete in freestyle motocross history. Causey is the granddaughter of Diane Teel, who in 1978 became the first woman to win a NASCAR-sanctioned race.Danica Patrick remains the only woman competing in NASCARs top Sprint Cup series, but between the D4D applicants and participants and a few who are further along, there could be others before long.Cassidy noted that NASCAR Next member Julia Landauer and alum Nicole Behar finished on the podium (second and third, respectively) in the K&N West Series race at Meridian (Idaho) Speedway late last month. NASCAR Next drivers receive promotional and marketing support.I think it would be short-sighted for us to say wed like to find another Danica, Cassidy said. What we want to do is make sure that every young woman out there understands that NASCAR has an avenue, if thats something that you think you want to do. Weve really got a great group of drivers coming in, and I would hope that were not looking for just another female driver to get to the highest level, but rather, were looking for it to become not so much of a conversation as it is a norm.And just maybe, NASCARs racing future could include another racing Hornish -- a female iteration this time. Nike Epic React Flyknit .ca.

RIO DE JANEIRO -- Late in the Olympic 200-meter freestyle final, Katie Ledecky began to feel nausea swelling up from her stomach to her throat. Air Max 98 Gundam Italia .It was an inopportune moment. Ledecky had a shot to win the race that is, for her, the object that is different from all the others. The 200 is her off event, the one in which Ledecky wasnt a world-record holder or a prohibitive favorite, the one in which she was swimming to win and not for a specific time goal. Five of the 10 top all-time performers in the distance were in Tuesday nights eight-woman field.To Ledeckys left, Swedens Sarah Sjostrom was surfing her wave off the last turn. I didnt think I was going to be that close, Sjostrom said. I got some extra speed for free.Ledecky burped. The feeling passed. She drove herself to the wall.Everything was hurting and I knew I wasnt going to be able to see the field in the last 50, so I just had to dig deep and do my own thing, she said. When I saw it for real on the scoreboard, it all kind of sank in then.The really tough ones done.Ledecky collected her second individual gold medal of the Rio Games and her third overall, ticking off ambitions like so many items on a shopping list. Her time of 1:53.73 fell just short of fellow American Allison Schmitts Olympic record.It was simply good enough, an unusual admission for this unusually driven athlete. The 400 freestyle gold and 400 freestyle relay silver were predictable treasures, but the shorter distance tests her like no other.The 200 is such a more stressful event for me than the 400 or the 800, just because I cant really settle into my rhythm, Ledecky said. One mistake and youre done. It just feels good that its over.Ledeckys next event: 4x200-meter freestyle relay, Wedesday, Aug. 10, 10:50 p.m. ETHer longtime coach, Bruce Gemmell, said he got this text after the race from his son Andrew, a distance and open water swimmer who trains with Ledecky: Ive seen her practice those last 50 over and over and over.The .35 of a second that made the difference between Ledecky and Sjostrom was carved from those reps. And since no detail is too small in this hybrid of distance and sprint, its probably a good thing that Ledecky had practice at surviving a surge of queasiness, as well.Gemmell told the story of an unnamed male swimmer who, after one especially draining workout at altitude at the U.S. Olympic Training Center in Colorado Springs, turned to Ledecky and said, That was so hard, I feel like throwing up. To which she replied, I feel that way three times a week. Tuesday, she said the bilious feeling made her mad, and irritation made her faster.Her two remaining events, the 800 freestyle relay and the 800 itself, in which Ledecky has broken her own world record three times since she set it in 2013, sits at the end of the meet, waiting for her to claim it. Assuming she does, she will complete a sweep accomplished only by Debbie Meyer in 1968.A champions postrace duties, from media to anti-doping, can drag on for a while. Ledecky said athlete-to-athlete, the first question the morning after is often how much rest they got. Its hard to sleep after a great performance, Ledecky said. She got a nap Tuesday morning and shell adjust.Shes getting a lot of practice at staying up past her bedtime this week. Nike Air Max 180 Og .

Then the Pacers gave Oladipo and his Orlando teammates the cold shoulder. Paul Georges buzzer-beating 3-pointer at the end of the third quarter spurred a 21-4 run, finally sending Indiana past the Magic 97-87 in a tougher-than-expected opening night matchup. NEW YORK -- Perhaps the greatest server of all time, Ivo Karlovic set a new mark Tuesday.The 21st-seeded Croatian swatted a US Open-record 61 aces in a 4-6, 7-6 (4), 6-7 (4), 7-6 (5), 7-5 win over?Yen-Hsun Lu of Taiwan to reach the second round of the seasons final major.Karlovics total smashed the previous record held by Richard Krajicek, who in 1999 hit 49 aces against Yevgeny Kafelnikov.After the match, Karlovic said he wasnt aware that he was in the process of setting a record.I [just] knew there was a lot of aces, Karlovic said. I was, like, hitting them easy. At one point, almost every serve was an ace.He was talking specifically about the second set, in which he hit an astonishing 22 aces in 35 strokes.The adrenaline ... I was in it, he said. As the match was getting on, I was getting better.Not surprisingly, Karlovic won more than 90 percent of his first-serve points and was broken onlly once. Nike Air 180 Shop Online. Karlovic equaled his ace total by hitting 61 winners. Just as impressively, he committed only 10 unforced errors in the 3-hour, 46-minute match. Karlovics performance increased his all-time ace total to 11,277, the most in ATP history and 1,146 more than second-place Goran Ivanisevic.Like the Williams sisters, Karlovic has defied time. At 37, he is the second-oldest player in this years US Open draw, behind the Czech Republics Radek Stepanek, who is three months older.Just three years ago, Karlovics career appeared all but finished. His ranking had fallen outside the top 160, and he had gone five years without a single title. This year alone, he has two, after wins at Los Cabos and Newport.On Thursday, Karlovic will face American Donald Young. NFL Jerseys Cheap Stitched Jerseys Wholesale Authentic Jerseys Wholesale Throwback Jerseys Discount Jerseys Cheap Jerseys 2019 China NFL Hoodies ' ' '

CLEVELAND -- Stephen Strasburgs losing streak was short lived. Air Max 2017 Hombre .Washingtons ace easily shut down Cleveland for seven innings and bounced back from his only loss this season, leading the Nationals to a 4-1 win over the Indians on Wednesday.Strasburg (14-1) began the season with 13 straight wins before he was beaten by the Los Angeles Dodgers on July 21. The powerful right-hander made the most of his next outing by shaking off the one blemish on his resume this season and holding the Indians to three hits as the Nationals recovered after blowing a two-run lead in the ninth and losing on Tuesday night.This is what you want your big boys to do, Nationals manager Dusty Baker said of Strasburg, now 20-3 since Aug. 8.Washington rookie Trea Turner drove in three runs and Daniel Murphy hit his 20th homer off Carlos Carrasco (7-4), who nearly matched Strasburg but was done in by one bad inning.Nationals reliever Blake Treinen stopped Clevelands threat in the ninth, getting a game-ending double play for his first major league save.Strasburg had little trouble handling the AL Central-leading Indians, who came in with the majors best record since June 1 but couldnt generate enough offense against the Nationals $175 million man. He was in control from the outset and made Washingtons 2-0 lead over the first five innings feel like the score was 10-0.Strasburg walked one and struck out seven.He has a lot of weapons, Indians manager Terry Francona said. He can throw the ball by you, a fastball on both sides of the plate. He has a slider, change. Hes got everything and his fastball has a ton of ride or finish, however you want to put it. His delivery. Its impressive.After Tuesdays rough loss, the Nationals needed a spark. Strasburg gave them one.A lot of times you respond to the guy whos pitching on the mound, Baker said. The game starts and stops with him having the ball in his hand.Strasburg understands whats expected of him whenever he takes the mound.I try to do that every time if were winning or if were losing, he said. All I can do is what I can on the day I pitch. Its a long season so Im going to keep grinding.The Indians failed to turn a double play in the second and it cost Carrasco, who didnt help himself with three walks in the inning.After he walked the first two batters, Carrasco got Ryan Zimmerman to hit a hard grounder to shortstop Francisco Lindor, whose throw to second was dropped by Jason Kipnis on the transfer. With two outs, Ben Revere battled Carrasco for 13 pitches before walking and Turner made the right-hander pay for his inability to throw strikes by lining a two-run single to left.Strasburg took it from there.He was never in real trouble and on the two occasions the Indians got a runner to third, Strasburg got the out he needed.Jose Ramirez, who had two hits and reached base all three times up against Strasburg, was on third in the second when Strasburg struck out Rajai Davis to end the inning, blowing him away with a 97 mph fastball.Ramirez got to third again with two outs in the fourth after third baseman Anthony Rendons throwing error. This time, Strasburg retired Davis on a slow roller to third.Murphy, the NLs leading hitter, extended his hitting streak to 13 games with his towering shot off Carrasco to make it 3-0. Turners broken-bat RBI single in the seventh put the Nationals up by four.STREAKINGJayson Werths leadoff walk in the second extended his streak of reaching base to 30 games -- a career-high and the longest current run in the majors. ... Bryce Harper went 0 for 4 and is hitless in his last 17 at-bats. Hes batting only .177 (14 of 79) in July.TRAINERS ROOMNationals: Bothered by vertigo-like symptoms for the past week, infielder Stephen Drew was placed on the 15-day disabled list. Drew has played just once in the past seven games because of an undiagnosed illness, and the team sent him back to Washington for further tests. Drew has been a valuable pinch hitter this season, connecting for three homers off the bench.UP NEXTIndians: Several current and former players, along with Francona, will golf in a charity outing before starting a three-game series on Friday against the Oakland Athletics. RHP Trevor Bauer (7-4) will start the opener against As right-hander Kendall Graveman (7-6).Nationals: Washington flies to the West Coast to open a four-game series in San Francisco. Tanner Roark (9-6) will pitch the opener against Giants ace Johnny Cueto (13-2). Off White Nike Air Force 1 .

Louis Blues teammates who would also be participating in the Olympics, Alex Pietrangelo felt right at home, no different in some ways to the travel experience of any old road trip – save for the length of the journey, that is. WINNIPEG -- Rashad Evans got his hunt for a heavyweight title shot back on track Saturday with a split decision victory over veteran Dan Henderson at UFC 161. It was a matter of youth trumping experience, with Evans nine years younger than the 42-year-old Henderson, who fought at UFC 17. They approached each other cautiously in the first, but it was Henderson who connected with the first solid punches late in the round, attacking so eagerly he could hardly keep his feet. "I said, What hit me," said Evans, who approached Henderson with a lot more caution after that. "Only fools rush in with Dan Henderson." The second round opened with Evans trying to take Henderson down, but the veteran quickly got to his feet. Henderson was noticeably tired in the third. "I just left it up to the judges again and Ive got nobody to blame but myself for that. He kept the pressure on pretty well in that third round," Henderson said. "I kind wanted to take a little bit of a breather and go back after him and he kept the pressure on pretty well and didnt let me do that." Henderson was coming off a loss to Lyoto Machida, while Evans suffered defeats to Rogerio Nogueira and current light heavyweight champion Jon (Bones) Jones. "He takes a hell of a punch and he gives a hell of a punch," Evans said of Henderson. "Coming off of two losses it takes bit of a hit on your confidence. "This wasnt my best performance by far but its something to start from." Their fight was preceded by the co-main event, a heavyweight bout between fan favourite Roy (Big Country) Nelson and Steve Miocic that the latter took in a unanimous decision to boost his UFC record to 4-1 and his overall MMA record to 10-1 Nelson, coming off three straight wins, outweighs Miocic by more than 20 pounds but stands four inches shorter and has seven inches less reach. He got in trouble late in the first when Miocic landed a solid combination but hung on. The pair traded rights in the second, but Miocic seemed unfazed and staggered Nelson with another combination that drove him to the wire. Nelsons looping rights found their mark a few times in the third and Miocic backed off a little to avoid getting caught when he already appeared ahead on the judges scorecards. Asked by UFC president Dana White how he felt after the fight, his response was brief: "I won right? OK then, Im happy." The main card got underway with Shawn (The Savage) Jordan winning his third UFC fight after stunning Pat (HD) Barry with a flurry of punches to end their heavyweight bout after just 59 seconds. It started with an uppercut and the referee stopped it as Barry crouched, taking punch after punch, declaring it a technical knockout. "He bought the first one ... I saw him kind of dazed so I just kept going," said Jordan, with an MMA record of 15-4 and a UFC record of 3-1. In a UFC debut for both fighters, womens heavyweight Alexis Davis of Port Colborne, Ont., defeated Rosi Sexton of Manchester, England, in a unanimous decision in the first womens UFC fight in Canada. "Its a whole new ballgame," Davis said of the UFC, after a busy week of media attention. "I cant wait to fight again." Ryan (The Big Deal) Jimmo, a native of Saint John, N.B., who now fights out of Edmonton, met fellow light heavyweight Igor (The Duke) Pokrajac. Jimmo took it in a unanimous decision bbut apologized for not being more aggressive. Air Max 180 Cdg. "I was coming off a loss," he said. "I was fighting really conservatively." The Evans-Henderson matchup only became the main event after injuries scrubbed two other fights. The card took its first hit several weeks ago when the original main event featuring interim bantamweight champion Renan Barao and Eddie Wineland fell apart after Barao injured his foot. It took another blow when the co-main event featuring former light-heavyweight champion Mauricio (Shogun) Rua and Antonio Rogerio Nogueira was called off after Nogueira pulled out due to injury. UFC also struggled with injuries that depleted a card in Calgary last year. Canadian fighters won four straight preliminary bouts before a bleeding Sam (Hands of Stone) Stout from London, Ont., tapped out in the third round of his lightweight bout with James Krause. Stone submitted to a guillotine choke, still bleeding profusely from a gash above his right eye off a kick delivered by Krause in the first. The MTS Centre was packed with a sellout crowd of around 15,000 fans who paid anywhere from $50 to $500 to watch the first UFC event to visit Winnipeg. White said the gate for the event was $3.15 million. They were loud from the get-go and the seats were filled for the early preliminary bouts, which started a little late. Fans still managed to boost the volume a little for the first of the televised prelims that featured local batamweight Roland Delorme, who fought Edwin (El Freoz) Figueroa. Figueroa threw sharper punches and Delorme went for takedowns to avoid them and try for a submission. He didnt get one and Figueroa almost turned the tables but Delorme still secured a unanimous decision that pleased the hometown crowd. "That was gruelling," said Delorme, who improved his MMA record to 9-1-0 and his UFC record to 3-0-0. "Im happy with the performance. Ive worked my on my submission defence and I needed that tonight." Sean (The Punisher) Pierson from Toronto looked in charge for two of his three rounds against fellow welterweight Kenny Robertson, but Robertson caught him with a flurry of punches that left him dazed in the third. Pierson held on and took the fight with a majority decision, raising his MMA record to 14-6 and his UFC record to 4-2. In early prelim action, it was batamweight Yves (Tiger) Jabouin from Montreal over Dustin (The Disciple) Pague in a split decision and Saskatoons Mitch Clarke over John Maguire in a lightweight contest that went to Clarke on all scorecards. "The difference was the damage I did when I was on top," said Jabouin after spending most of the three rounds grappling on the canvas with Pague. His MMA record is now 19-8 and his UFC record is 4-2. "I landed a ton of hard elbows and I thought I was a shot or two away from finishing it," said Jabouin. "It was a war, I cant wait to go back home and sleep after that." Clarkes family drove in from Saskatoon and friends from Edmonton, the city he fights out of, and he was happy he gave them a win, his first in three UFC fights, although his MMA record is 10-2. "My familys here and that makes it so much better." In the final prelim of the night, a powerful spinning back fist stunned Jake Shields in the third round of his welterweight bout with Tyron Woodley but Shields was still won a split decision. NFL Jerseys Cheap Stitched Jerseys Wholesale Authentic Jerseys Wholesale Throwback Jerseys Discount Jerseys Cheap Jerseys 2019 China NFL Hoodies ' ' '

BOSTON -- Jose Iglesias hit a two-run homer in the sixth inning, Justin Verlander pitched six solid innings and the Detroit Tigers beat the Red Sox 4-2 on Monday night to spoil Drew Pomeranzs second start with Boston. Kyrie Irving Jersey .Victor Martinez and James McCann also drove in runs for the Tigers. Detroit pulled within 5 1/2 games of idle AL Central-leading Cleveland.Verlander (10-6) allowed one run and five hits and struck out five to pick up the victory. He is 3-0 in his last five starts.Francisco Rodriguez earned his 28th save.Pomeranz (8-8), recently acquired from the San Diego Padres, gave up four hits and struck out seven in six innings. Both of the runs he allowed came via Iglesias homer.Boston failed to homer Monday, ending a streak of 15 straight games with at least one.Pomeranz entered Mondays start looking to bounce back from his dismal Boston debut last week against San Francisco, in which he gave up five runs in just three innings.He was cruising through five innings Monday, allowing just two hits. That changed in the sixth when Iglesias crushed Pomeranzs fastball high over the Green Monster in left for a two-run homer to put the Tigers up 2-1.Iglesias scored his second run of the game in the eighth, trotting across home plate on Martinezs single off reliever Clay Buchholz to make it 4-1.Boston loaded the bases on three straight singles off Justin Wilson to begin its half of the eighth. A single by Sandy Leon pulled the Red Sox within 4-2, but Wilson settled down to get an out and Rodriguez came on to help end the rally.Bostons hitters had several long at-bats against Verlander, pushing his pitch count above 40 through just two innings. In the second, Travis Shaw lined a double into the right-field corner, scoring Jackie Bradley Jr.TRAINERS ROOMTigers: RHP Jordan Zimmermann, who has been sidelined since July 1 with a right neck strain, began a rehab assignment in Triple-A Toledo on Sunday night. He threw four scoreless innings, giving up two hits and striking out two.Red Sox: CF Mookie Betts returned to the lineup Monday after missing a pair of games with right knee soreness. ... Manager John Farrell said RHP Craig Kimbrel (left knee surgery) is progressing well and looked good in a short bullpen session. He could make a rehab start as soon as this weekend.UP NEXTTigers: RHP Mike Pelfrey (3-9, 4.78 ERA) is coming off a victory at Chicago last week, in which he allowed the White Sox just one run in 5 1/3 innings. Pelfrey hasnt allowed a home run his last eight road starts, spanning 45 1/3 innings.Red Sox: RHP Steven Wright (12-5, 2.67) has won his last four starts. His lone appearance against Detroit was last July, when he allowed four runs over 4 1/3 innings in a loss. Authentic Celtics Jerseys . Still, Brewers manager Ron Roenicke thought taking him out before the fifth inning was an unusual move. "Im looking up at the board and hes got two hits given up and one run, and Im taking him out after the fourth inning," Roenicke said. Greg Monroe Jersey . Burke is expected to miss two to three months after breaking a finger in the teams third preseason game. Tinsley, a 10-year veteran, spent the last two seasons in Utah, where the point guard averaged 3. http://www.cheapcelticsjerseyschina.com/bill-russell-jersey/ . The Nashville Predators were glad their captain was still on their side. Weber had a goal and two assists, and Roman Josi scored the shootout winner to lift the Predators to a 4-3 win over the Flyers on Thursday night. Memories, sweet and sour.The last time the Seahawks and Patriots were on the same field, Malcolm Butler was making a Super Bowl-saving play for New England. His goal-line interception robbed Seattle of a rare second straight NFL crown and gave Tom Brady his record-tying fourth in the Super Bowl era.They meet in Foxborough with both in solid position to chase another championship, the Patriots (7-1) more so than the Seahawks (5-2-1).Butler certainly doesnt mind seeing highlights of his interception, something NBC cant avoid showing Sunday night.You know, it always does whenever I think back on it, Butler says of smiling at the remembrance. But thats not going to help us win this game. This is bigger than me. Its about this team. And that play will not help us Sunday night. So we got to be ready to play.Since Tom Brady returned from his four-game suspension, hes been as ready as at any time of his Hall of Fame-caliber career. He recalls the 2015 Super Bowl as being in a tough spot against a great, great football team and we pulled it out.It took every blade of grass on that field to keep them from scoring. In 2014, they were an incredible team.Seattle isnt incredible right now , but the Seahawks tend to build throughout the season. A win at New England will be a major step in that process.Everything that you go through gives you a chance to learn, so we certainly go back and watch all that stuff and how they looked at us and how we looked at them, Seahawks coach Pete Carroll says of that bitter Super Bowl loss. Just like we looked at all the rest of the games, we pay a lot of attention to whats going on now and some of the names and the faces are the same, but quite a few of them arent. We have to figure all that out.The action began Thursday night with Baltimores 28-7 victory over Cleveland that left the winless Browns at a historic low point in franchise history.Cleveland (0-10) has opened a season with 10 consecutive losses for the first time since joining the NFL in 1950. The Browns have lost 11 straight on the road since winning in Baltimore in October 2015.Joe Flacco threw three touchdown passes for Baltimore (5-4).Off this week are Detroit (5-4), Buffalo (4-5), Indianapolis (4-5) and Oakland (7-0).Kansas City (6-2) at Carolina (3-5)Sure, the Panthers have a much inferior record to the Chiefs. And KC has won 16 of its last 18 regular-season matches.Yet theres a feeling that the Panthers are beginning to get things in order with two straight wins. If they can avoid turnovers -- the Chiefs are an NFL-best plus-13 in turnover margin and lead the league in takeaways with 20 -- they could still get in the playoff mix.The seasons not over yet. Youre speaking as if this is a wash season, Cam Newton told reporters this week. Were right where we want to be. Were in a position to compete and challenge teams and they know that.Dallas (7-1) at Pittsburgh (4-4)The Cowboys seek an eighth straight victory, which would tie their 1977 team for the longest single-season winning streak in club history. That team won the Super Bowl. This one has gained at least 400 yards in a franchise-record six consecutive games.Players to watch are two of the games best targets. Dallas tight end Jason Witten needs five receptions to pass Andre Johnson for ninth on all-time list (1,062). Steelers wide receiver Antonio Brown is 12 receptions from passing Heath Miller for second on the franchise list (592).Atlanta (6-3) at Philadelphia (4-4)A big assignment for the slumping Eagles, who have dropped three straight to Atlanta. Phillys secondary has been a sieve -- Eli Manning tore it up for four TDs last week -- and now it takes on Matt Ryan, Julio Jones and the NFLs second-ranked offense.Also ominous for the hosts is that the Falcons have found a pass rush. But the Eagles have scored 20-plus points in 10 consecutive games, the longest active streak in the NFL.Minnesota (5-3) at Washington (4-3-1)Although they dont meet up that often, this is one of the NFLs best and tightest series, tied 12-12.Its also a matchup of Minnesotas strong defense, ranked third, and Washingtons No. 4 offense.The issues for the Vikings, losers of three in a row, are when they have the ball or when they are kicking it. The offense has stagnated with the line a jumbled mess and no rushing attack, and ranks at the bottom. Blair Walsh is having a mysteriously ppoor place-kicking season. Aron Baynes Jersey. Washington surely will miss standout LT Trent Williams, who begins serving a four-game suspension under the NFLs substance abuse policy.Denver (6-3) at New Orleans (4-4)Another top defense -- Denver is fourth overall, No. 1 against the pass -- going up against a dangerous offense. Drew Brees, having another sensational season, leads the NFLs best passing attack.You look at it, and youre like, `another top offense, Broncos linebacker Shane Ray says. But its another opportunity to be great. Its another opportunity to go out and compete against someone that is looked at as the best. Its a challenge we want every week.New Orleans rekindled its running game a week ago against San Francisco, rushing for a season-high 248 yards. Mark Ingram rushed for 158 yards, including a career-long 75-yard TD.Cincinnati (3-4-1) at New York Giants (5-3), Monday nightTwo teams that can light up the Big Apple skyline with their passing games; forget the Giants rushing attack, which is nonexistent.Eli Manning threw for four TDs last Sunday and in Odell Beckham Jr. has one of the NFLs most dangerous targets. On the other side, Andy Dalton has a 100-plus rating and no interceptions in four of the last five games. And he has A.J. Green as his top receiver: Green leads the NFL with 59 receptions, ranks No. 2 with 896 yards receiving, and has 17 catches for 290 yards and a touchdown in the past two games.Green Bay (4-4) at Tennessee (4-5)It might seem shocking that the Titans have the higher-ranked offense than the Packers, and its not really close.The key here is whether DeMarco Murray, second in the NFL with 807 yards rushing and tied for second with nine total TDs, can get going against the leagues stingiest rush defense.This is the start of a three-game road trip that could make or break Green Bays season.Miami (4-4) at San Diego (4-5)The first stop on a California vacation, uh, business trip for the Dolphins, who will remain out west after this before taking on Oakland.Miami has won three in a row and has found a ground game thanks to Jay Ajayi, who has rushed for well over 500 yards combined in the last three games.San Diego has a strong running attack, too, with Melvin Gordon, also in his second NFL season, coming off a career-best 196-yard performance in a win over the Titans. He also scored his NFL-high 11th touchdown.Houston (5-3) at Jacksonville (2-6)The Texans swept the series the last two years, but they are 0-3 away from Houston and play four of their next five on the road. Their best weapon could be WR DeAndre Hopkins, who torched the Jaguars last season, catching 17 passes for 237 yards and two TDs in two games.Houstons road woes might not matter much at EverBank Field, where the Jags are 0-3.San Francisco (1-7) at Arizona (3-4-1)Heres how poorly Chip Kelly has fared in his debut season with the 49ers: Kellys college teams at Oregon lost seven games in four seasons; his 49ers have lost seven in a row. They rank last in defense, and Arizona star receiver Larry Fitzgerald makes a living against them. He has more TD catches against the Niners (16) than any other player in NFL history.The Cardinals won 33-21 at San Francisco in early October.Los Angeles (3-5) at New York Jets (3-6)Lots of QB angst here. For LA, fans want top overall pick Jared Goff on the field and veteran Case Keenum on the bench. Jets fans want Ryan Fitzpatrick, who is dealing with knee issues, put on the sideline for Bryce Petty.The Rams have dropped four in a row and cant get 2015 Offensive Rookie of the Year running back Todd Gurley on track. New York ranks fourth in rushing defense, but is vulnerable in the air.Chicago (2-6) at Tampa Bay (3-5)Jay Cutler returned to the Bears in Week 8 before they had their bye and actually had a positive effect in an upset of the Vikings. Chicago is getting strong contributions from rookie running back Jordan Howard (505 yards rushing) and tight end Zach Miller, who comes off a seven-reception, 88-yard performance against Vikings.Bucs QB Jameis Winston has been hot with eight TD passes and one interception in the past three games. But Tampa Bay lost two of those.---For more NFL coverage: http://www.pro32.ap.org and http://www.twitter.com/AP-NFL NFL Jerseys Cheap Stitched Jerseys Wholesale Authentic Jerseys Wholesale Throwback Jerseys Discount Jerseys Cheap Jerseys 2019 China NFL Hoodies ' ' '

The top three teams in the rankings --?Chicago Cubs, Washington Nationals and Texas Rangers?-- remained unchanged this week. Cody Eakin Jersey . But there was some movement elsewhere in the top five, with the Red Sox moving up two spots to No. 4 and the hard-luck Cleveland Indians dropping a spot to No. 5. After they looked like one of the ALs most dangerous teams for much of the season, the Indians have been hit hard by injuries, as they lost pitchers Danny Salazar and Carlos Carrasco (broken finger) in recent weeks. Cleveland is still on its way to the playoffs, but the path to the franchises first title since 1948 got a lot bumpier.The Red Sox, meanwhile, seem to be headed in the right direction as the playoffs near, finishing the week with a sweep of the New York Yankees and increasing their lead in the AL East to three games.This weeks voters are Jim Bowden of ESPN Insider, Eric Karabell of ESPN Fantasy, Tim Kurkjian of ESPN, David Schoenfield of the SweetSpot Blog Network/ESPN.com and Jayson Stark of ESPN.com. Most of the team comments come courtesy of the SweetSpot Blog Network.Past rankings: Week 23 |?Week 22?|?Week 21?|?Week 20 |?Week 19 |?Week 18 |?Week 17 |?Week 16 |?Week 15 |?Week 14 |?Week 13 |?Week 12 |?Week 11 |?Week 10 | ?Week 9 |?Week 8 |?Week 7 |?Week 6 |?Week 5 |?Week 4 | Week 3 | Week 2 | Week 1 | Preseason1. Chicago CubsRecord: 94-55 Week 23 ranking: No. 1All of the Cubs focus now is on preparing for the playoffs. One part of that would be getting Jake Arrieta back as close to his form from last year as possible before the postseason gets underway. In his past six starts Arrieta has struggled some with command, walking 21 guys in 37 1/3 innings.?-- ESPN.com2. Washington NationalsRecord: 88-61 Week 23 ranking: No. 2Trea Turner continues to play like Superman, with a .355/.377/.590 line and 27 steals in 31 attempts. Among NL batters with 250 plate appearances, only teammate Daniel Murphy has a higher OPS. The only knock against him is a 49-to-9 strikeout-to-walk ratio, but that should improve, in part, because pitchers will become more careful in pitching to him.?-- David Schoenfield (@dschoenfield), SweetSpot3. Texas RangersRecord: 88-62 Week 23 ranking: No. 3With the Rangers closing in on 90 wins for the fifth time in seven seasons, the focus will be on setting up the pitching staff for success in the playoffs. After Cole Hamels and Yu Darvish, there are numerous questions in both the rotation and the bullpen.?--?Brandon Land (@onestrikeaway), One Strike Away4. Boston Red SoxRecord: 85-64 Week 23 ranking: No. 6The Red Soxs staff as a whole has been good in September, pitching to a 3.00 ERA. But the bullpen has really been outstanding, with an incredible 0.94 ERA. Dominant performances from Craig Kimbrel, Joe Kelly, Brad Ziegler, Koji Uehara and Junichi Tazawa have the bullpens K/9 at 11.1 in September. The bullpen was great again Sunday, giving up no runs in 5 1/3 innings.?--?Ryan P. Morrison (@ryanpmorrison), Inside the Zona5. Cleveland IndiansRecord:?86-63 Week 23 ranking: No. 4The Indians continue their march toward the playoffs despite injuries first to starter Danny Salazar and, on Saturday, to Carlos Carrasco, who has been one of the stalwarts of the rotation.?--?Susan Petrone, Its Pronounced Lajaway6. Los Angeles DodgersRecord: 84-65 Week 23 ranking: No. 5The Dodgers havent lost two in a row since the end of August. After allowing more than five runs per game last month, Dodgers pitching is yielding less than three runs per game in September. --?Diane Firstman (@dianagram), Value Over Replacement Grit7. Toronto Blue JaysRecord: 81-68 Week 23 ranking: No. 7Toronto opened the month two games up in the division, but the offense has dried up. The Jays are ranked last in the AL with 55 runs scored in September.?-- Diane Firstman (@dianagram), Value Over Replacement Grit8. Baltimore OriolesRecord: 82-67 Week 23 ranking: No. 8The Orioles would have preferred to fare better than a split in their series against the Rays. But theyll settle for being a couple of games back of Boston in the AL East as they prepare for a pivotal, four-game series at home against the Red Sox. With only two weeks left in the season, this is the Orioles best chance to make up ground in the division.?--?Matt Kremnitzer (@mattkremnitzer), Camden Depot9. San Francisco GiantsRecord: 79-70 Week 23 ranking: No. 10Buster Posey hit his 13th home run of the year off St. Louis lefty Jaime Garcia?on Friday, exactly two months after he hit his 12th homer. The drought is over, but San Francisco remains in a fight with the Mets and Cardinals for an NL wild-card spot. -- Jeff Wiser (@OutfieldGrass24), Inside the Zona10. New York MetsRecord: 80-69 Week 23 ranking: No. 12The Mets have won 11 of their past 14 games, are 20-7 in their past 27 contests and have won seven of their past eight series. They are 41-33 at home this season, including 12-3 in their past 15 home games.?-- Joe Janish (@metstoday), MetsToday.com11. Detroit TigersRecord: 79-70 Week 23 ranking: No. 11The 2016 Tigers have been hard to figure out, as they have looked at times like a playoff team. Splitting a series with the Twins and splitting a series with the Indians is just another example. Two games back in the wild-card race, the Tigers need a run of wins.?-- ESPN.com12. Seattle MarinersRecord: 79-70 Week 23 ranking: No. 15The Ms won eight in a row before dropping the first two of a three-game set against the Astros. Seattle rebounded with a win Sunday, and the two AL West foes remain locked in a battle for the final wild-card spot. Felix Hernandez took an unsightly loss Friday and continues to scuffle.?-- Jeff Wiser (@OutfieldGrass24), Inside the Zona13. St. Louis CardinalsRecord: 78-71 Week 23 ranking: No. 13It looked bleak after the Cardinals lost the first two games of the series against the Giants, but they won the final two, with rookie Alex Reyes throwing seven scoreless in his third career start and what felt like a must-win game for the Cards. The road trip continues this week with Colorado and Wrigley.?-- David Schoenfield (@dschoenfield), SweetSpot14. New York YankeesRecord: 77-72 Week 23 ranking: No. 9The Yankees missed Andrew Miller and Aroldis Chapman this week. Pitching in his third straight game, Dellin Betances blew a three-run lead to the Boston Red Sox on Thursday. The overworked closer also blew a tie game to the Dodgers on Wednesday. Although the playoffs look a lot further away for the Yankees after a bad week, one bright spot was Masahiro Tanakas seven-inning, one-run start against Boston, which bolstered his case for the AL Cy Young Award.?--?EJ Fagan,?Its About the Money15. Houston AstrosRecord: 78-71 Week 23 ranking: No. 14Doug Fister continues to fade badly down the stretch, including getting hammered Sunday with a chance for a big sweep in Seattle. He has a 7.85 ERA since Aug. 11, and the Astros have lost his past five starts, in which he has gone five innings once and less than five the other four times.?-- David Schoenfield (@dschoenfield), SweetSpot16. Miami MarlinsRecord:?74-75 Week 23 ranking: No. 17Monday marks the return of Wei-Yin Chen from the disabled list. He has been out for two months because of a sprained elbow. Jose Fernandez, who pitches against the Nationals on Tuesday, is 3-0 with a 1.42 earned run average against the NL East leaders this season.?-- Diane Firstman (@dianagram), Value Over Replacement Grit17. Kansas City RoyalsRecord: 76-73 Week 23 ranking: No. 16A five-game losing streak that included a brutal, four-game sweep at home to the As, in which they were outscored 43-12, knocked the Royals out of the wild-card race. In the end, given that theyve been outscored by 32 runs this season, they were fortunate to hang in there until mid-September.?-- David Schoenfield (@dschoenfield), SweetSpot18. Pittsburgh PiratesRecord: 74-75 Week 23 ranking: No. 18The Pirates fought their way back to .500 on Saturday, then fell back below on Sunday. Theyll need everything to go right to leapfrog the Cardinals, Mets or Giants for a wild-card spot. That looks a lot more difficult now, with Gerrit Cole shut down for the season with right elbow posterior inflammation.?-- Ryan P. Morrison (@ryanpmorrison), Inside the Zona19. Colorado RockiesRecord: 72-77 Week 23 ranking: No. 19The Rockies might finally be figuring out pitching at altitude. Theyve shut out opponents three times at Coors Field since Aug. 31. The latest instance occurred Saturday, as Jon Grays 16 strikeouts and Game Score of 95 both set franchise records. Chad Bettis two-hit, seven-strikeout shutout on Sept. 5 and Grays performance are two of the five best games in Rockies history in terms of Game Score.?--?Richard Bergstrom (@rbergstromjr), Rockies Zingers20. Chicago White SoxRecord: 72-77 Week 23 ranking: No. 20James Shields has a 9.42 K/9 in three September starts and has held opponents to a .222 batting average thanks to a .206 BABIP. Why a 5.65 ERA on the month? Eleven walks havent helped. With 74 walks on the season, Shields is on pace to eclipse last years career high of 81 walks -- in far fewer innings.?--?Ryan P. Morrison (@ryanpmorrison), Inside the Zona21. Milwaukee BrewersRecord: 68-82 Week 23 ranking:?No. 21With it clear that they wont be playing into late October, the Brewers decided to shut down starting pitcher Junior Guerra. The 31-year-old rookie finished his season by hurling six shutout innings against the Reds. He was quite remarkable this year (9-3, 2.81 ERA, 7.4 K/9, 3.18 BB/9 and a 45.3 percent ground-ball rate) and has a strong chance of being Milwaukees Opening Day starter come spring.?-- Gabe Stoltz (@Stoltzy3), Disciples of Uecker22. Tampa Bay RaysRecord: 64-85 Week 23 ranking: No. 25The Rays have been holding their own against tough divisional opponents all month. It bodes well for the future, but it remains difficult to look back at their 3-24 run from June 16 to July 16 and not wonder what might have been if they had been merely bad instead of horrific in that one-month stretch.?--?Jason?Hanselman?(@sandykazmir), The Process Report23. Oakland AthleticsRecord: 66-83 Week 23 ranking: No. 24With two home runs Sunday, Khris Davis reached 40 for the season. Meanwhile, catcher Jacob Nottingham, the main prospect the Brewers got for Davis, hit .234/.295/.347 at Double-A.?-- David Schoenfield (@dschoenfield), SweetSpot24. Philadelphia PhilliesRecord: 67-83 Week 23 ranking: No. 23Its hard to force a trade if one wasnt there, but the inability to flip Jeanmar Gomez at the trade deadline might end up being a missed opportunity. Since July 31, Gomez has gotten quite a bit worse, as he has allowed 13 runs and 26 hits in just 17 2/3 innings of work. Before the deadline, hed given up 15 runs and 43 hits, but that was over 48 2/3 innings.?--?Richard Bergstrom (@rbergstromjr), Rockies Zingers25. Los Angeles AngelsRecord: 65-84 Week 23 ranking: No. 22Albert Pujols is up to 112 RBIs but is slugging just .456. The most recent player to drive in 110 runs while slugging less than .460 was Tony Batista in 2004, an infamous year in which he had a .272 OBP. Pujols has hit .317 with runners in scoring position but a lowly .222/.260/.389 with the bases empty.?-- David Schoenfield (@dschoenfield), SweetSpot26. Cincinnati RedsRecord: 63-86 Week 23 ranking: No. 26It has been a rough season. Cincinnati has used a franchise-record 32 pitchers this year, and that collection of hurlers is three homers away from breaking the MLB record (241) for home runs allowed in a season. History in the making! --?Chad Dotson (@dotsonc), Redleg Nation27. San Diego PadresRecord: 62-87 Week 23 ranking: No. 27San Diego dented the playoff hopes of the Giants by sweeping three in San Francisco last week. Wil Myers became the first player in franchise history to record 25 homers, doubles and steals in a single season.?-- Diane Firstman (@dianagram), Value Over Replacement Grit28. Arizona DiamondbacksRecord: 63-86 Week 23 ranking: No. 28Shelby Miller returned to the D-backs rotation on Aug. 31 after a well-documented series of struggles. The situation remains ugly, as he has allowed 14 earned runs in 20 2/3 innings in his four starts since coming back to the majors, with his latest loss coming Saturday. --?Jeff Wiser (@OutfieldGrass24), Inside the Zona29. Atlanta BravesRecord: 58-91 Week 23 ranking:?No. 29Since Matt Kemp joined the Atlanta lineup at the beginning of August, the Braves have gone 21-23 and are averaging more than five runs scored per game, compared to just 3.4 before Kemp arrived. The young pitching still needs improvement, as theyve gone from giving up 4.7 runs per game before August to 5.6 since.?-- Martin Gandy (@gondeee), Chop County30. Minnesota TwinsRecord: 55-95 Week 23 ranking: No. 30After getting swept over the weekend by the Mets, the Twins are now 3? games ahead of the Braves for the worst record in baseball and the No. 1 overall pick in the 2017 draft. -- ESPN.com Youth Golden Knights Jerseys . -- Bryant McKinnie came out of his stance and lowered his shoulder into a practice squad player, causing a crisp thud to reverberate in the Miami Dolphins practice bubble. Malcolm Subban Jersey .

PETERSBURG, Fla. -- Its starting to look easy for Brad Miller, and more recently for his Tampa Bay Rays teammates.Miller hit two of the Rays five home runs in a 15-1 win over the San Diego Padres on Tuesday night.Im just trying to get to the next (at-bat) and just keep my head down and try to hit as many as possible, said Miller, who has hit 10 of his career-high 24 home runs since the All-Star break.Evan Longoria had three hits and his 27th homer while tying Carl Crawford atop the Rays career list with his 1,235th game played.Nick Franklin and Corey Dickerson also homered, and the Rays won their third straight.That was fun to watch, especially to have me in the dugout while they just keep scoring and scoring and scoring, said winning pitcher Blake Snell.Franklin and catcher Luke Maile each had three hits and Maile drove in four runs for the Rays, who have scored 35 runs in three games, the most in club history over a three-game span.Millers first home run came in the fourth inning, driving in the eighth run off starter Edwin Jackson. Manager Kevin Cash said it might have been the most impressive home run weve seen at this ballpark this year.Miller added a two-run homer in the fifth.Snell (4-5) struck out eight in five innings, giving up one run, five hits and four walks. Alexei Ramirez, who had two hits for the Padres, drove in their only run with a bases-loaded walk.Jackson (3-3) gave up eight runs, nine hits and three walks in four innings.I take full responsibility, said Jackson, who had won his two preceding starts. I pretty much single-handily sucked the soul out of the team.Rays shortstop Matt Duffy left the game in the fourth inning with a sore left Achilles tendon.

LANGLEY, B. Nike Air Max 97 Ultra 17 Mujer .C. -- Denise Watkins is banking on Canadas rich lacrosse history making a difference as the National Lacrosse League ventures into Vancouver for a second time. Watkins is the co-owner, along with her husband Bill, of the new Vancouver Stealth, which has relocated to suburban Langley, B.C., after it could not find its niche in Everett, Wash. "I dont think anything per se went wrong," Watkins said Tuesday following an introductory news conference. "The difficulty in the United States, still, is that the sport is not well known." Lacrosse in Canada dates to the 1850s and is the countrys official summer sport, although the NLL season covers winter months. Watkins, a California native who lives in San Jose, got involved in the sport because of her son T.J., who is now a player with a Burnaby, B.C.-based junior team. Bill Watkins is a retired Silicon Valley tech company CEO who is now involved with an LED lighting company. The couple bought the Stealth in 2007 while the team was still located in San Jose, Calif. They moved the Stealth to Everett in 2010. Things did not go right for the former Vancouver Ravens franchise, either. The club, which operated from 2002-2004, was forced to fold after its ownership ran out of money. Efforts to revive the team in subsequent years were unsuccessful. The Ravens operated out of what is now known as Rogers Arena, the home of the NHLs Vancouver Canucks. But Watkins believes a shift to the Langley Events Centre, which seats 5,276 and is smaller than the homes of other NLL teams, will make a difference. Operators of the LEC, which is owned by a local municipality, have agreed to share some of the teams costs, said Watkins. LEC offered plenty of incentives to move after the former Washington Stealth played before sellout crowds at LEC in an exhibition game against the Toronto Rock and last winters NLL championship game against Rochester, because the clubs arena in Everett was not available. "The challenge of a big arena is, you have to fill it," said Watkins. "And, the bigger arenas are more expensive. So, I think, the advantage of the smaller arena is that its a bit more cost-effective." Watkins also expects to save money because most of the clubs players are from B.C., and the club will be able to reduce travel expenses. "Its been a long wait for me to be back here, and I couldnt be more thrilled," said Stealth coach Chris Hall, a Victoria native. He suggested the clubs on-floor success will also pay off at the box office. Despite its financial troubles, the Stealth reached the NLL championship game in three of the past four years and won the title in 2010. "The great thing for the Vancouver Stealth is that were not an expansion team," said Hall. "Weve got a championship pedigree." NLL commissioner George Daniel said the Stealth will increase rivalries within Canada as it competes against the Calgary Roughnecks, Edmonton Rush and Toronto. The league, he added, also has a chance to increase its TV revenues now that it has a coast-to-coast presence in Canada. Daniel said Calgary and Edmonton had a regional deal with Rogers Sportsnet while Toronto had an agreement with TSN, but the yearly contracts have expired and the league as a whole plans to negotiate a new arrangement. Noting the Watkins are "terrific owners," he contended the club is in Vancouver to stay this time. The NLL also wants to expand elsewhere in Canada. "Were not done," said Daniel. "Wed like to have more Canadian cities." Air Max 98 Gundam Comprar . -- Golden State Warriors coach Mark Jackson asked his players a simple question during Fridays morning shootaround: How many of them had ever been on a team 14 games over . Undefeated Air Max 97 Precio .
