Rayshawn Jenkins Jersey .Y. -- Syracuse has turned up the defence at the right time all season, and when High Point threatened to pull off a monumental upset the second-ranked Orange did what they do best with their quick hands and savvy play. Dan Feeney Jersey . It was the second consecutive win for the Pacers (2-5), who lost their first five preseason games. Jeff Teague led the Hawks (1-5) with 17 points and eight assists and Al Horford had 12 points and seven rebounds. Mike Scott scored 15 of his 17 points in the second half. http://www.losangeleschargersauthentic.com/dan-feeney-chargers-jersey-c-57/ . Capitals head coach Adam Oates said Ovechkin was injured in the first period against the Vancouver Canucks on Monday and clarified it was not a head injury. Its five weeks into the Premier League season, and while some teams are playing up to expectation, others have been more of a pleasant surprise.File Liverpools start into the latter category.Jurgen Klopps team announced their attacking and pressing tactical aspirations early with an exhilarating 4-3 win at Arsenal over the opening weekend. Then, save for a blip on the radar with their 2-0 loss to Burnley, the Reds (4-1-1) have been pouring in the goals heading into Saturdays lunch-time fixture against Swansea City at Liberty Stadium.Klopps side have yet to earn a clean sheet this campaign. However, the defence is already improved with a new central pairing of Dejan Lovren and Joel Matip thats helped Liverpool yield a goal in each of the last four contests.However, its been the Reds offence that has been the story to start. Their 16 goals enter the weekend two behind league leader Manchester City. That offence was on display in last weekends 5-1 rout of Hull City at Anfield.While James Milner contributed a pair of penalties in that victory, the early stars of Liverpools show have been a reinvigorated Adam Lallana, Philippe Coutinho, Sadio Mane and Roberto Firmino. That group was on display against Hull as Lallana, Mane and Coutinho all scored in the rout.All good. Actually, the first half was brilliant, Klopp said of his teams performance. That was how football should be if you are able to do it. You have to show this. Forrest Lamp Chargers Jersey. New midfielder Georginio Wijnaldum credits Klopp with bringing out the best in Liverpools midfield group.He doesnt really give a lot of jobs to players. He tells me to be free and play how I can play. But sometimes it is different, he told Liverpoolfc.com.It depends on what the other players are doing. You have to look at the other players.As well as Liverpool have played, Swansea City (1-1-4) find themselves at the other end of the form guide, winless since an opening weekend 1-0 result over Burnley. The Swans have lost four of five since and desperately need three points in front of the home fans. The club was simply outclassed by Manchester City week, absorbing a 3-1 defeat.On the positive side, new boy Fernando Llorente opened his Swansea account with a goal, and is targeting more as the season progresses.I am happy to score my first goal, but unfortunately we didnt win the game, which is the most important thing, Llorente said. I feel better with myself because my performances have improved. Now I want to score more goals for Swansea.Both sides won at home in this fixture last season, while Liverpool have won just one of their last five Premier League trips to the Liberty Stadium -- a 1-0 result courtesy of a Jordan Henderson strike in the 68th minute.

New York Giants wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. Adreian Payne Jersey .?doesnt think he is well-liked anywhere around the NFL.I dont know if Im necessarily liked anywhere, really, Beckham said Wednesday when asked if there was any lingering resentment among the Dallas Cowboys following his celebrated one-handed catch. It just is what it is when were on the field; off the field, theres no hard feelings for me anywhere. At the end of the day, its football.I cant control who resents, likes, doesnt like, in a sense. We just go out there, handle our business, play football and keep it moving from there.Beckham, 23, is set to start his third professional season with a matchup Sunday afternoon against the Cowboys and?cornerback Brandon Carr, who was on the wrong end of Beckhams famous, behind-the-ear grab two years ago.?Two of Beckhams three least productive games last season actually came against Carr, with the Cowboys limiting the Pro Bowl receiver to nine catches for 79 yards in the two meetings.It just happened that way, Beckham said. First game last year was in Dallas stadium and, like I said, we really didnt hit the ground running. It was kind of lackadaisical and we were going through the motions. Make sure this year we hit it and get it right.Whenever Beckham takes the field, all eyes are on the electric receiver. Hes eccentric, flashy and talented. He makes one-handed grabs, plans elaborate touchdown dances and holds an extended, one-handed catch session during warm-ups.Does it make him a villain?I dont know. You tell me, Beckham said. Could be that way, couldnt be that way, I dont know. Im more focused on this year and accomplishing the goals that we have set out -- winning games.Opposing players, particularly Washington Redskins cornerback Josh Norman, have cited Beckhams whining and constant complaining as reasons why there is dislike for him.Cornerback Chris Culliver, now with the Miami Dolphins, called Beckham the most complaining person Ive went against. Stephon Gilmore of the Buffalo Bills called him a prima donna.But Beckham thinks differently in regards to why those perceptions exist.Because of this, he said, flashing a grin from ear to ear. I dont know. I have fun. Im myself at all times and I dont think its necessarily liked all the time, unless youre on my side. I cant really control that. Like I said, I cant control who likes, doesnt like me. Its football at this point.Beckham does have his backers. Hes popular in the locker room and is developing into a respected leader among his Giants teammates. He has also built a stable of NFL friends, including Miamis Jarvis Landry, Cincinnatis Jeremy Hill, Arizonas Patrick Peterson and Tyrann Mathieu, Dallas cornerback Morris Claiborne, Pittsburghs Antonio Brown, Minnesotas Teddy Bridgewater?and seemingly anyone else with?LSU?ties.The names of Brown, wide receiver Anquan Boldin and running back Reggie Bush were mentioned during Beckhams 15-minute news conference Wednesday; he worked out with all three this offseason. Kris Dunn Timberwolves Jersey . Detroit and Boston are deadlocked, 1-1, and Tigers manager Jim Leyland could be forgiven if he was caught rationalizing instead of dissecting how his club could blow a 5-1 lead late in Game 2. Anthony Bennett Jersey . President of baseball operations Larry Beinfest was fired Friday after 12 years with the Marlins. The move came as the team neared the end of its third consecutive last-place season in the NL East.http://www.nbatimberwolvesproshop.com/womens-nikola-pekovic-basketball-jersey/ . The Vancouver coach and an announced sellout crowd of 18,910 watched in dismay as the Canucks lost 7-4 to the New York Islanders on Monday night by squandering a 3-0 lead in the third period. DENVER -- Kenneth Ogbe scored 28 points, including a free throw in the final seconds, to help Utah Valley fend off Denver down the stretch in an 88-85 win on Wednesday night.Two free throws by Denvers Joe Rosga cut the Utah Valley lead to 85-84 with 41 seconds left. The Wolverines missed a 3-pointer on the ensuing possession, but an offensive rebound by Isaac Neilson forced Denver to foul with just nine seconds to go.Jordan Poydras drilled both at the line and Utah Valley was back up by three. Kris Dunn Jersey. Another Rosga free throw managed to get the Pioneers back to within two, but the final shot at the line by Ogbe iced it.Overall the Wolverines hit 24 of 33 at the line.Pydras finished with 23 points for Utah Valley (3-1). Zach Nelson added 18.Rosga led Denver (1-2) with 23 points. Daniel Amigo added 21 and 12 rebounds.

Each week of the NFL campaign, we will sift through the deeper options at each position with an eye on identifying streaming fantasy commodities with valuable matchups to consider. Timofey Mozgov Swingman Jersey .Did you draft Jeremy Langford or Antonio Gates and need replacement options for this week in fantasy football? Or are you still waiting on Tom Brady to return from suspension? We have some choice names to consider for those seeking widely available options at each position.QuarterbackJoe Flacco, Baltimore RavensAlthough my recommendation of Joe Flacco wasnt a huge win last week, you should know that I am purposefully pulling my recommendations from players who are owned in less than 20 percent of ESPN.com leagues. Among those players, Flacco was pretty solid, but Trevor Siemian would have been a better play. However, it just wouldnt have been prudent to recommend a quarterback off waivers going against the Cincinnati Bengals. Ill stick with Flacco again this week, as he faces an Oakland Raiders defense that allowed the opposing quarterback to score at least 27 fantasy points in two of its three games this season. Expect a solid game from Flacco, as the Ravens still havent demonstrated they can effectively run the ball and will need to rely on Flaccos right arm. -K.D.Andy Dalton, Cincinnati BengalsWhile Dalton is rostered in nearly 63 percent of ESPN leagues as of press time, its telling to see hes been started in just 9.7 percent of leagues, the lowest rate among the top 20 quarterbacks in ownership in ESPN leagues (not counting the suspended Brady). It would be wise to get Dalton in starting lineups this week, however, as the Miami Dolphins exploitable defense comes to town. The Dolphins rank 21st in Football Outsiders DVOA (defense-adjusted value over average) and 26th in pass coverage without a cornerback graded in the top 60 at the position on Pro Football Focus. Not counting the Week 14 game that saw him exit early with a fractured thumb, Dalton produced at least 17 fantasy points in 10 of 12 games last season. With a touchdown on just 1.7 percent of his pass attempts this season -- ranked 31st among quarterbacks -- after ranking fourth in the league in touchdown percentage in 2015 (6.5 percent), a positive correction is coming for Dalton, and it could begin Thursday night. -J.M.Running backJordan Howard, Chicago BearsIf you play in a league with me, Howard hasnt been available since the draft. In almost all others, hes readily available, but will become the most added player in the NFL this week. Howard has all the tools to be a successful three-down back, and this weeks contest against the Detroit Lions will be his coming-out party. The Lions have allowed over 5 yards per carry to opposing running backs and have allowed the third-highest number of receptions to them as well. With Jeremy Langford likely sidelined, look for Howard to see upward of 20 touches as he lays claim to the starting job in Chicago going forward. -K.D.Matt Jones, Washington RedskinsNot only does Jones grade out favorably in some advanced metrics, such as ranking seventh among backs in elusive rating on Pro Football Focus -- a measure of forced missed tackles per touch -- he also has produced 66.1 percent of his teams rushing yardage and has consumed six of the Washington backfields eight carries in the red zone so far this season. The Browns have ceded 16.3 fantasy points to opposing backfields this season and a generous 2.82 yards before contact per rush, eighth most in the league. Jones has been deployed as a starter just 31 percent of the time this season in ESPN leagues but, like Dalton, merits a spot in lineups this week as a strong streaming option. -J.M.Wide receiverJamison Crowder, Washington RedskinsCrowder has seen at least seven targets in every game this season. Going into Monday nights game, only 24 wide receivers can claim at least the same level of usage each week. With a game coming this weekend against the Cleveland Browns, Crowder is a must-start, as the Browns have surrendered two touchdowns to opposing wide receivers in each of their first three games, which leaves plenty of upside for Crowder. -K.D.Terrelle Pryor, Cleveland BrownsIn a game reminiscent of a Friday night high school showdown, Pryor earned snaps at quarterback, running back, receiver and even safety in Week 3. With 144 receiving yards, 21 rushing yards and 35 passing yards, Pryor became the first player with at least 120 receiving yards, 20 rushing yards and 30 passing yards since Frank Gifford in 1959, per ESPN Stats & Info. With such valuable versatility on this side and facing a Washington secondary missing a key coverage component in safety DeAngelo Hall, Pryor is well positioned to provide a high total-yardage floor in the capital Sunday afternoon. -J.M.Tight endClive Walford, Oakland RaidersWhen looking at tight ends with ownership percentages of 20 or lower who might be usable, the pickings are slim. Although he faces a Ravens defense that has surrendered just 10 fantasy points to opposing tight ends in three games, Walford earns my endorsement this week. Walford has been targeted 15 times so far this season, converting 13 of them into catches, and has become a reliable option for Derek Carr. If Walford is targeted five times, you could find yourself with 50 receiving yards and a potential touchdown, which is good upside for a tight end lottery ticket. -K.D.Hunter Henry, San Diego ChargersAntonio Gates is ailing with a serious hamstring injury and, according to reports, is unlikely to be available this week for a choice setup with the Saints. Henry is a talented rookie tight end who isnt tasked with many snaps in the blocking phase, as he was second on the team in routes run in Week 3 and finished with the second-most yards on the team, having caught all five of his targets in the loss to the Colts. Available in more than 90 percent of ESPN leagues and with a valuable target share in a potential shootout in San Diego this Sunday, Henry is an ideal streaming asset at a shallow position. -J.M.D/STDallas CowboysDespite earning just nine fantasy points in the first three weeks, the Cowboys D/ST is an intriguing option this week. The Cowboys go on the road to face a San Francisco 49ers team that has been uneven so far this season. The 49ers have committed at least one turnover in each game this season and arent anything close to an offensive juggernaut, which combines to make the Cowboys D/ST a safe bet for a positive point total. -K.D.Washington RedskinsDefenses facing the Browns have averaged 8.3 fantasy points per game this season, well above the league average of 5.8 points so far in 2016. The Redskins have blitzed opposing passers on 26.5 percent of dropbacks, also above league average, and could thrive in facing the Browns conservative passing scheme, led by a raw rookie in Cody Kessler. Its a bit of a bold tandem of susceptible NFC East defenses that Ken and I have selected this week, but in the spirit of selecting widely available streaming options, both qualify with plus matchups against exploitable respective foes. -J.M.Individual defensive playersLinebackerCraig Robertson, New Orleans SaintsWith a career best of 92 total tackles for the Browns in 2014, this undrafted veteran out of North Texas is currently leading the NFL in tackles and is second among linebackers in fantasy points using ESPNs IDP scoring model. Fueling such statistical success has been a career-best 96.3 percent snap rate while ranking fifth in the league in total snaps among linebackers. The Saints defense is going to be on the field a lot this season, so shares of the widely available Robertson are attractive. Speaking of snap-happy roles, the Dolphins Kiko Alonso is tied for the league lead in defensive snaps with 227 on the year. Alonso is eighth in fantasy points among backers and is rostered in just 30 percent of ESPN leagues as of press time. Run to the wire and put in a claim for the Bengals Vontaze Burfict, who returns from suspension Thursday and is a superstar fantasy asset worthy of ownership in all formats. -J.M.Defensive backJordan Poyer, Cleveland BrownsDiving deep into free agency we find Poyer available in, well, 100 percent of ESPN leagues at the moment. This ownership rate should clearly rise given Poyer has played on 90.2 percent of the teams defensive snaps over the past two games and could become a valuable source of tackles for as long as hes earning such exposure. Speaking of safeties who stay on the field on most snaps, Washingtons David Bruton has been on the field for 93.2 percent of the Redskins defensive plays so far and ranks fourth among defensive backs in fantasy points and seventh in tackles. -J.M.Defensive lineDanielle Hunter, Minnesota VikingsWe tried to warn you about Hunters potential to break out in 2016, as he ranked seventh in both fantasy points and sacks per snap among linemen with at least 300 snaps last season. With a sack in each of the first three games and an uptick in snap exposure, Hunters breakout is already well on the way. We also endorsed the Patriots Jabaal Sheard as a top addition to consider on the line, and hes produced the seventh-most pressures among 4-3 defensive ends so far this year, according to Pro Football Focus. A double-digit sack campaign is entirely realistic for Sheard if he can stay on the field. -J.M. DAngelo Russell Authentic Jersey . Third-seeded Murray had the easiest path to victory on New Years Eve, barely breaking a sweat during his 6-0, 6-0 win over 2,129th-ranked Qatari wildcard recipient Mousa Shanan Zayed. Timofey Mozgov Womens Jersey .ca. Kerry, Just watched the shootout in the Coyotes/Leafs game and I have to ask, why was the James van Riemsdyk goal allowed to count?

Charles Schumer, on the eve of the Summer Olympics, is calling on the House to follow his chambers lead and make the cash prizes won by U.S. medalists tax-exempt in future games.The New York Democrat, visiting the Winter Olympics training facility in Lake Placid on Tuesday, said the Internal Revenue Service shouldnt impose a victory tax on athletes who work hard at training year-round.The Senate passed the bill by unanimous consent in July before the current recess began. The House is scheduled to return Sept. 6, after the summer games in Brazil are over.The U.S. Olympic Committee pays $25,000 to gold-medal winners, $15,000 to silver medalists and $10,000 for bronze. Athletes have to report the income on their federal tax returns.The bill would also exempt prizes for Paralympic athletes. The exemption would not apply to commercial endorsements.Our Olyympian and Paralympic athletes should be worried about breaking world records, not breaking the bank, when they earn a medal, Schumer said. Timofey Mozgov Youth Jersey. While some athletes who represent the U.S. in the Olympics, like tennis stars Serena and Venus Williams, also make millions of dollars as paid professionals, many other Olympians participate in more obscure and less lucrative sports.Schumer was accompanied by Andrew Weibrecht, a Lake Placid native and World Cup alpine skier who won bronze and silver medals; bobsled silver medalist Justin Olsen; and luge silver medalist Gordy Sheer.USA Luge chief executive Jim Leahy said the federal tax places a hardship on athletes and unfairly taxes them for representing the U.S. and reaching the top of their sport.

The Philadelphia 76ers picked up their first win of the season Friday, only to come right back and drop their next game the following night. Sergio Busquets Jersey . On Sunday, the team used its day off to regain clearance for takeoff by visiting the NASA Johnson Space Center in Houston.Rather than focus all of their attention on Mondays matchup against the Houston Rockets, the Sixers instead received a private tour of the facility where human spaceflight training, research and flight control are conducted.Philadelphia point guard Sergio Rodriguez snapped a photo of the main control room, which featured the 76ers logo on a central monitor.NASA astronaut Christina Hammock Koch helped guide the NBA players throughout the complex, and posted a photo of Sixers center Jahlil Okafor attempting to stand inside a space station bedroom. The 6-foot-11 Okafor knows a thing or two about making moves in tight quarters, but this situation presented more of a challenge.The Sixers might have felt as if they were flying through space, but the reality is that they enter Mondays game last in the Eastern Conference with a 1-8 record.-- Nick Ostiller Oscar de Marcos Spain Jersey .com) - The Chicago Blackhawks aim for their third three-game winning streak of the season when they host the struggling Edmonton Oilers in Sundays battle at the United Center.

The Longhorns (14-4, 3-2) got their biggest win of the season with their third in the row in the Big 12. GREEN BAY, Wis. -- Less than two weeks after cutting Pro Bowl guard Josh Sitton, the Green Bay Packers made a long-term investment in a different offensive lineman -- left tackle David Bakhtiari.The fourth-year pro confirmed in a text message to ESPN on Tuesday that his four-year contract extension is done. The NFL Network first reported that the deal is worth up to $51.67 million, which would put Bakhtiari among the top-five highest paid offensive tackles in the NFL.Bakhtiari, 24, was a fourth-round pick in 2013. He became an immediate starter as a rookie after Bryan Bulaga sustained a knee injury that summer in training camp and never gave the job back, forcing the Packers to move Bulaga back to right tackle.Bakhtiari started 46 regular-season straight games until an ankle injury knocked him out for the final two weeks of the regular season last year plus the first playoff game. The Packers tried three different starters in three weeks at left tackle before Bakhtiari returned for the NFC divisional playyoff game at Arizona. Iker Casillas Spain Jersey. .The Packers targeted Bakhtiari as one of their must-sign free agents shortly after last season. Last month, the team told both Sitton and fellow starting guard T.J. Lang -- both of whom were impending free agents -- that they would not engage in contract talks with them during the season because they planned to focus on re-signing some of their younger players.Three of the Packers five opening-day starters on the offensive line were in the final year of their contracts. In addition to Lang and Bakhtiari, center JC Tretter also would be a free agent after the season if no new deal is reached.After cutting Sitton, the Packers had more than $16 million in salary-cap space. They have more potential contract extensions to consider. Running back Eddie Lacy, tight end Jared Cook and defensive back Micah Hyde also are in the final year of their deals.

COLUMBUS, Ohio -- Geologists measuring vibrations caused by boisterous Ohio State football fans say the Buckeyes game-winning touchdown in double overtime against rival Michigan had Ohio Stadium rocking more than any other time this season. Lonzo Ball Swingman Jersey .Ohio State and Miami University professors teamed up with the Department of Natural Resources to devise the FanQuakes Magnitude Scale. Using measurements taken around the stadium, it converts the shaking from fans into the perceived magnitude of a naturally occurring earthquake.Before last Saturdays game, the high point was after Curtis Samuels touchdown catch against Nebraska. It reached a FanQuake Magnitude of 5.2.Researchers say the opening kickoff with Michigan topped that at 5.27, and the magnitude grew after a couple of interceptions. It rated 5.7 during J.T. Barretts first overtime touchdown, and 5.79 after Samuels game-winning score.

Williams was coming off his second stint with the San Diego Chargers and has made four starts in his three-year career, picking up a couple of interceptions.Hill was arrested on Saturday morning after his Mercedes swerved over multiple lanes on an L.A. freeway and crashed into the back of a semi-truck around 8 a.m. PT, according to multiple reports. He was then given a field sobriety test, handcuffed on the spot and booked in Van Nuys, California.The Rams de-activated Hill from Sundays game against the Miami Dolphins, then waived him on Tuesday. But Rams coach Jeff Fisher said then that he was not going to rule out a second opportunityy for the 25-year-old cornerback.Tanner Glass Rangers Jersey Authentic. I think people deserve second chances in life, Fisher said then. I think he learned from it, but I was just disappointed in his choices.Hill -- the Rams fourth cornerback on the depth chart, after Trumaine Johnson, E.J. Gaines and slot corner Lamarcus Joyner - was released from custody later in the afternoon on $15,000 bail and has a preliminary court date for Dec. 14.Despite being undrafted out of Oregon and measuring only 5-foot-11, Hill is a solid tackler who continually improved in pass coverage. In his last game, a 9-6 win over the New York Jets in Week 11, Hill graded out as the Rams best defensive player, according to Pro Football Focus.But now he basically has to start from scratch.I know I let this team down, Hill said. I went to Coach Fisher and I told him, I let the team down, and I let you down personally. I know what it looks like, but theres things that go along with it, too. I was thankful for the opportunity, and just want to show this team, and everybody in the organization, that they can trust me. Ill keep working my way back up until I prove myself again.

Go inside the numbers and matchups that will decide Saturday nights showdown between the Chicago Cubs and the Cleveland Indians in Game 4 of the World Series, and then vote for which team will win at the bottom of the page. Kareem Hunt Chiefs Jersey . The Indians lead the series 2-1.How we got hereThe first 1-0 World Series game since 2005 was a tense affair that came down to Cody Allen striking out Javier Baez on a high, 2-2 fastball with the winning run in scoring position. The Indians became the first team with five shutouts in one postseason (and the Cubs became the second team to be blanked four times). The Cubs went 0-for-7 with runners in scoring position and the Indians went 1-for-5 -- Coco Crisp dropping a little flair into right field in the seventh for the games only run.?-- David SchoenfieldInside the pitching matchupWhen Corey Kluber is on the mound: Kluber is making his fifth postseason start and second on three days rest. He has given up two runs in 24? innings, surrendered only one home run, held batters to a .193 average and struck out 30 percent of the batters he has faced. In other words, hes going for a Madison Bumgarner-type run here.In Game 1, Kluber had pinpoint command of his two-seam fastball, getting it to run on the inside corner to left-handed batters. Case in point: He got Anthony Rizzo, who popped up eight times all season, to pop up three times with inside fastballs. How effective has that fastball been in the playoffs? Lets check the numbers:Regular season: .274/.350/.483Postseason: .175/.267/.225Wow. Kluber is throwing it just as often as he did in the regular season -- 49 percent versus 51 percent -- although with much greater effectiveness. He normally throws that pitch inside 30 percent of the time; the number was 42 percent in Game 1. But he could change plans in Game 4: Against the Blue Jays and Red Sox, he worked the outer half of the plate more often.Those two-seamers and cutters set up his great breaking ball -- a sweeping curve/slider hybrid that held batters to a .115 average and has been one of the most dominant pitches in the game the past few seasons. The other thing that made him effective in Game 1 was that he often pitched backward -- starting off with an offspeed pitch and then going to the cutter or two-seamer with two strikes. The Cubs best hope might be that hes not as sharp on three days rest (the two runs he gave up came on his other short-rest start against the Blue Jays). -- SchoenfieldWhen John Lackey is on the mound: Hes making his 23rd career postseason start but went only four innings in each of his two outings this postseason, giving up 10 hits, five runs and five walks. Unless hes dealing, you have to think Joe Maddon will be looking at another quick hook, especially with the Cubs trailing in the series.Lackey still has good stuff, even after turning 38 a few days ago, as he recorded a career-high strikeout rate. He comes at batters with a four-seam fastball at 91-92 mph that he moves around the strike zone, plus a slider, curve and occasional changeup. The slider that dives off the outside corner to righties is his go-to wipeout pitch, especially against righties, who hit .122 against it. He doesnt throw it as often to lefties, but they hit just .133 against it. Overall, righties had a .251 OBP compared to .322 against lefties, so Terry Francona might go with Carlos Santana again in left field to get another left-handed bat in there. -- SchoenfieldPlayer in the spotlightKris Bryant. Or pick the Cubs offensive player of your choice. Dexter Fowler has a .263 OBP in the postseason. Rizzo has a .298 OBP. Addison Russell had those big home runs against the Dodgers but is hitting .167 with one walk and 11 strikeouts. Bryant, however, is the guy who will win the NL MVP award. He has had a solid postseason with a .280/.368/.440 line, but he also has hit only one home run in 13 games. In a postseason that hasnt featured much offense -- teams are hitting a collective .219 -- home runs are vital. The Cubs could use one from their big slugger. -- SchoenfieldDid you know ...Kluber in Game 1 became the 12th pitcher to throw at least six scoreless innings against the Cubs this season. Of the previous 11, only three faced the Cubs again later in the season (Jimmy Nelson, Bumgarner, Clayton Kershaw). They combined to go 1-2 with a 4.50 ERA in the start following the scoreless outing.?-- Lee Singer,?ESPN Stats & InformationWhat will decide the game Saturday nightThe formula for the Indians this postseason has been to get an early lead and bring Andrew Miller in to shut the door. With Miller throwing only 17 pitches in Game 3, he should be available to pitch multiple innings again in Game 4.The Indians are 8-0 when scoring first this postseason and 1-2 when they dont. The Cubs are 7-1 when scoring first and 1-4 when their opponent does. So an early lead for either team would go a long way toward bringing home a victory in Game 4. --?SingerThe man in blue: Marvin HudsonHudson calls strikes slightly less frequently than his peers, but he rates close to average (30th out of 80). The one area in which he favors the pitcher is on pitches that are on the inside corner to a right-handed hitter. He tends to call strikes often there.However, neither Kluber nor Lackey comes inside often. They both ranked in the bottom 15 among ERA-title qualifiers in terms of frequency of throwing an inside pitch. The area in which Hudson is a less-likely strike caller is at the top of the zone. That could be notable for Indians catcher Roberto Perez, in that Perezs greatest strength is getting the high strike call.One thing to keep an eye on for Lackey is if hes getting calls at the bottom of the strike zone (all three Cubs catchers are good at that).With regard to Kluber, remember that his 45 percent called-strike rate in Game 1 was his third-highest in a start this season. Kluber consistently got calls on close pitches from Larry Vanover. The Cubs took nine pitches that are historically called strikes 50 to 75 percent of the time. He got eight called strikes on those nine pitches -- Mark Simon, ESPN Stats & InfoChoosing sides: Who will win?The Cubs like to trumpet their ability to get better the more they see a pitcher, and they certainly proved they could do it against an ace last round with Kershaw. Kluber was terrific in Game 1, but the Cubs had some quality at-bats and hell be hard-pressed to paint the corners as effectively. But basically, I just cant see the Cubs losing two in a row at home to fall behind 3-1. Chicago gets even.? -- Bradford DoolittleSo now that the World Series is upside down, it only makes sense the Cubs will beat Kluber after losing with their ace on the mound Friday. Having better success against a pitcher theyve seen recently has been a trend with them all season, so this time theyll scratch just enough across to beat the Indians and even the series 2-2.?-- Jesse RogersThe Cubs won 103 games this season for a reason, and they have every right to believe Cleveland cant just walk into Wrigley Field and take two straight. But the Indians are now 9-2 in the postseason, and they radiate a sense of belief in themselves. Theyre about as loose as a team can get under circumstances this intense, and theyre never more confident than when Kluber is on the mound. I think Kluber, Miller and Allen get the job done and the Indians win again to put the Cubs in a major hole.?-- Jerry CrasnickWhere the series standsThe odds have swung from 61 percent Cubs winning before Game 3 to 59 percent Indians winning entering Game 4 (according to FanGraphs). Miller threw only 17 pitches in Game 3, so hes available for multiple innings if needed (and if Francona can work around having to pinch hit for him). Both managers emptied their benches in Game 3; Id expect the same thing in Game 4 as these low-scoring games in NL parks turn into chess matches. The Cubs are the heavy favorites in Game 5 with Trevor Bauer slated to face Jon Lester, but they dont want to go back to Cleveland needing two wins.?-- Schoenfield Patrick Mahomes II Youth Jersey . -- Jimmy Walkers first PGA Tour trophy came with a special gift tucked inside. Patrick Mahomes II Chiefs Jersey . Aaron Harrison scored a 22 points for Kentucky (6-1), which has won four in a row following a Nov. 12 loss to current No. 1 Michigan State. Julius Randle overcame a scoreless first half and added his sixth double-double in as many games with 14 points and 10 rebounds. http://www.chiefsstoreauthentic.com/authentic-kareem-hunt-chiefs-jersey/ . -- Jacksonville wide receiver Cecil Shorts will likely be a game-time decision whether hell play Sunday in the Jaguars home game against the San Diego Chargers. Victor Wanyamas debut goal snatched victory as Tottenham Hotspur beat Crystal Palace 1-0 at White Hart Lane on Saturday.Despite controlling large chunks of the first half, it just wasnt happening for Spurs in the final third. Vincent Janssen went closest, as his follow-up to Harry Kanes deflected grass-trimmer was smartly smothered by Wayne Hennessey.Lax passing and a lack of composure was Spurs downfall in the first period, Palace often let off the hook by a careless error.The second half was much of the same, and it looked like Spurs had spurned one chance too many when Janssen missed a sitter after DDele Alli sent him clean through with a deft pass. Patrick Mahomes II Jersey. However, a lapse in concentration allowed Wanyama to bundle home after Kane nodded a lofty corner forward deep into the second half.Neither manager will be overly impressed. For all their ventures into opposition territory, Spurs rarely troubled Hennessey. As for Palace, theyre going to need to find some attacking inspiration from somewhere if they are to survive in an increasingly competitive division this term.

Nico Rosberg insists the stewards were right not to penalise his Mercedes teammate and title rival Lewis Hamilton at the Mexican Grand Prix. NFL Jerseys Authentic China .Hamilton, who started on pole, drove straight across the grass at the first bend of the Autodromo Hermanos Rodriguez after locking his wheels, and re-emerged further down the track still ahead of the chasing pack. Both Daniel Ricciardo and Max Verstappen said Hamilton should have been punished but the stewards decided against looking at the incident, deeming he had not gained an advantage, something the world champion himself argued after the race.Initially watching the footage of the incident as he was being interviewed by Sky Sports, Rosberg said, How does he get away with that? in an apparent reference to Hamilton.However, when he was then asked if he thought his teammate should have been given a penalty, Rosberg said: Definitely not. Please do not put words into my mouth. That was not very fair of you.First of all, Lewis did a better job this weekend. Since you did put words in my mouth, I will tag on to where you left off, which is that he went into the corner first and came out first, so thats OK.Apart from that, for me, the race, there was a lot going on of course, quite eventful. But in the end, second place, I have to live with that. Lewis was quicker so he deserves the win, and for me, second place was the best I could do.The stewards did, however, look into a similar incident after Rosberg went across a corner later on when Verstappen tried to pass him on the inside. Technically Rosberg gained an advantage because he cut a corner short and emerged in second ahead of Verstappen.It was quite a big thump and I thought my car would have been falling to bits, said Rosberg. So Im quite pleased that my car held on. You can see he locked up and ran me off the road. So definitely that was too much. And after that I managed to stay in front.Rosberg was involved in a similar clash with Kimi Raikkonen at the Malaysian Grand Prix, when he barged past Raikkonen while the pair diced for position late in the race, bumping into the side of the Finns car and removing part of his front wing.?The German was handed a 10-second time penalty for the incident -- something Mercedes boss Toto Wolff labelled complete nonsense -- but was able to open enough of a gap over Raikkonen in the final laps to claim third position.You cant compare situations, Rosberg added. Its not for me to judge. Lets leave them to judge the situations and decide when something needs action or not. Wholesale NFL Jerseys China .

Richard Cockerill has admitted a run-in with Italian military police in a branch of McDonalds near Treviso has made Leicester Tigers look a bit silly. Air Max BW.Rugby director Cockerill has confirmed a number of Leicester players have been disciplined internally after an incident following the clubs 33-10 pre-season victory over Treviso on Friday, August 19.Italian carabinieri, military police, were called by McDonalds staff after a player was alleged to have taken food without paying having become impatient in a queue in the early hours of Saturday, August 20.Leicester boss Cockerill insists the matter was quickly dealt with, as the players involved were disciplined, and now expects the Tigers to start the new Aviva Premiership season without any further fallout.The players involved have been dealt with, it is disappointing for obvious reasons, said Cockerill, refusing to name any players involved. I would much prefer it not to happen. As the reports say, there was a player who took a cookie from a jar and that was paid for by the time the police arrived.It all died down. It was something of nothing but the players involved have been dealt with by myself and thats the end of the matter. It is private. It was dealt with swiftly and it was not particularly serious otherwise it would have been dealt with by the police.Leicester will open their Premiership campaign at Gloucester on Friday night, with Manu Tuilagi fully available for selection.Cockerill has reminded his players of their responsibilities as professionals in the social media age, but admitted he can sympathise with the constant scrutiny that comes with ever advancing technology.It is a danger for everybody, and it is what it is, said Cockerill. You are a Leicester Tiger 24/7 and you are judged upon how you behave however good or bad that is.Our players do a lot of good things that dont get reported. It is a lesson learnt for some young people about how those things can escalate. It made us all look a bit silly.My own personal view is that just because a young player is very good at something - and that can be anything - they are still young people growing up and they will still do things that they shouldnt do, like all of us sat around this table and all of your readers too.Everybody does things that they shouldnt do. Sometimes they have to experience those situations before they go actually, I was told that would happen, it has happened, maybe I should have listened to the old prat who told us it would.I have been there myself so I can understand how that happens, not withstanding that we dont accept or condone that type of behaviour. Those players have been dealt with and we move on. I would much rather it have not happened but our players do lots of good things as well. Nike Air Max Classic BW Online Shop .

INDIANAPOLIS -- The LPGA Tour is set to showcase a different kind of drive into the turns at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway.A foursome of female golfers visited IMS on Tuesday to help launch the Indy Women in Tech Championship presented by Guggenheim. The $2 million event will debut Sept. 4-10, 2017, at the speedways Brickyard Crossing golf course.In an era when the LPGA has significantly broadened its international reach, the IWiT Championship represents a return to the American heartland.Weve been working on this for six or seven months now, and Im thrilled to be on this stage to share our little secret, LPGA Tour commissioner Mike Whan said. The group here started talking about this vision of putting these things together -- business, Indianapolis, the Speedway -- bringing us back to the Midwest and letting the world see what can be possible.Were proud to be a delivery message for what they are going to deliver here in the years to come.Brickyard Crossing hosted the PGA Senior Tour Comfort Classic from 1994 to 2000, and the Pete Dye design is expected to be a challenging track for the women.An earlier iteration of the Speedway course hosted the PGA 500 Festival Open Invitational from 1960 to 1968, along with a one-off 500 Ladies Classic in 1968 that resulted in one of the last victories of Mickey Wrights legendary LPGA career.Wright won $2,250 from a purse of $15,500.In recent years, John Daly put Indianapolis back on the national golf map with his memorable triumph in the 1991 PGA Championship at Crooked Stick, which remains in the rotation of courses for the PGA Tours BMW Championship.Crooked Stick was also the venue foor the 2005 Solheim Cup, the biennial competition between teams of female professional golfers from Europe and the United States. Cheapest Nike Air Max Classic BW. It didnt take us 30 seconds to decide we wanted to be a part of this, IMS president Doug Boles said. Its about Indianapolis, and the community we care so much about, and having Indy Women in Tech fits with the brand the Indianapolis Motor Speedway has remained true to for the last 107 years.Its all about advancing technology and helping the community.The original IMS golf course was built in 1929. It grew to encompass 27 holes until Dye led a comprehensive redesign in the early 1990s that consolidated the layout down to 18 holes, with four inside the famous 2.5-mile racetrack.The LPGA tournament is the latest example of Speedway managements attempts to get as much use as possible out of the huge permanent facility. Until 1994, the month-long Indianapolis 500 was the only event IMS hosted.In addition to the 500, the track now stages an annual NASCAR Sprint Cup Series race and the largest vintage car racing meeting in America. This weekend, IMS hosts a round of the Red Bull Air Races for the first time.I dont know if we have another venue on tour that is iconic as the Speedway, said LPGA professional Morgan Pressel, who stroked several long drives down the Speedways 5/8-mile-long main straightaway. I think Indianapolis is a great market for us because its a nice middle ground.The golf course looks really challenging, and hopefully we are here for the long term.

PRINCETON, N. Victor Cuesta Argentina Jersey .J. -- Princeton University has suspended the rest of the mens swimming and diving teams season after school administrators discovered that members had posted vulgar and offensive material on the teams electronic mailing list.A statement released by Princeton on Thursday did not disclose specifics but said the misogynistic and racist comments involved the womens swimming and diving team.The suspension comes after an anonymous complaint alerted university officials to several materials, including the school-sponsored team mailing list and other electronic correspondence.The suspension is the third for an Ivy League team since November. Harvard University suspended its mens soccer team and some members of Columbia Universitys wrestling team were suspended for similar behavior last month.The behavior that we have learned about is simply unacceptable, athletic director Mollie Marcoux Samaan said in a statement. We make clear to all of our student-athletes that they represent Princeton University at all times, on and off the playing surface and in and out of season, and we expect appropriate, respectful conduct from them at all times.The university will decide whether to cancel the season completely.Princeton has meets scheduled Jan. 7 against Navy and Feb. 5 against Yale. The Ivy League championships are scheduled for later in February.At Harvard last month, the mens soccer season was canceled after a demeaning scouting report on the womens team was circulated online. A 2012 document uncovered by The Harvard Crimson student newspaper rated the attractiveness of recruits on the womens team and included lewd comments about them.Some members of Columbia Universitys wrestling team were suspended from competing over apparent lewd and racially insensitive text messages. Some messages disparaged female students, expressed hope that someone would be sexually assaulted at a campus event, used anti-gay terms and slurred black people, including while discussing the deadly police shooting of unarmed black teenager Michael Brown in Ferguson, Missouri, in 2014.

The third-ranked Ivanovic, who won the event in 2008 and 10, served five aces and broke Wickmayer, also a former winner in 2009, five times. "The result looked easier than it really was," Ivanovic said. RIO DE JANEIRO -- Dance parties. Dark chocolate. Calls to mom.All are helping Missy Franklin cope with an Olympics gone wrong.A huge star at the London Games four years ago, Franklin was one of the biggest U.S. disappointments in Rio de Janeiro -- an inexplicable fall shes at a loss to explain.I really wish I could tell you, Franklin said Thursday, not long before her final race. In my mind, I made the hardest sacrifices Ive ever had to make this year. Ive poured myself into this every single day for the whole year and the three years leading up to that. For whatever reason, its just not happening at this meet.Franklins last event epitomized her struggles.In the 200-meter backstroke, an event she won at London, Franklin finished next-to-last in her semifinal heat with the 14th-ranked time overall, 2 minutes, 9.74 seconds. That was nearly 3 seconds slower than her semifinal time at the 2012 Games -- and more than 5 1/2 seconds off her gold medal-winning performance.This has been by far the hardest week of my entire life, Franklin said, her voice breaking and tears in her eyes. Theres definitely a bit of relief that it is over.As a high school senior-to-be, Franklin competed in a staggering seven events in 2012, winning four gold medals and a bronze. She became only the second American woman, after Amy Van Dyken, to capture four golds at a single Olympics.But, following two years swimming collegiately at California and then turning pro last summer, Franklin hasnt been able to recapture the form that made her one of the most-hyped -- and heavily sponsored -- U.S. athletes heading into the Rio Olympics.She struggled at the U.S. trials, qualifying for the team in only two individual events, both with runner-up finishes.In Rio, she didnt make the final of either event, also getting knocked out in the semifinals of the 200 freestyle. Given her form, the coaches only picked her to swim the preliminary of the 4x200 free relay, a decision that would have seemed unfathomable just a few months ago but didnt meet with any protest from Franklin.I was absolutely fine with it, Franklin said. They 100 percent made the right decision.The 21-year-old still earned a gold medal -- the fifth of her career -- when a Katie Ledecky-led squad swept to victory in the relay final.That did little to ease the sting for Franklin.Shes ready to go home to Colorado.Right now, my future is not warming down and eating a Popsicle tonight, she said, recapturing her omnipresent smile. Thats just about all Im thinking about. Its been a really hard year for me. Its going to take some time for me to recover from it and thats what I pplan on doing. Ramiro Funes Mori Argentina Jersey. Spending some quality time with family and just getting back on my feet and making sure that I keep a smile on my face the whole time.To her credit, Franklin showed that her bubbly, accommodating personality was no facade.She never skipped out on a session with reporters in the mixed zone, even when she knew what the questions would be. Instead of avoiding the media, she was always gracious and forthcoming.Franklin has coped with her struggles by leaning heavily on her religious faith.My faith in God is really getting me through, she said. I know that hes going to make something beautiful out of this, hes going to transform me and my life into doing something from all of this. I have no clue what that is. I wish I could ask him what hes going to do.Her teammates did all they could to help.I just throw a couple of random dance parties. I take some really, really horrendous Snapchats of her, Cierra Runge said. Whatever I can do to make her laugh.Those Dove chocolate candies with the inspirational messages on the wrapper help, too.One of the verses really stuck with Franklin.Every day is an opportunity to change things for the better, she recounted. That was a good reminder that regardless of how things have been going, how Ive been feeling, every day is a new opportunity.And, of course, she can always turn to her family.Youre never too old to call your mom and cry and ask her for advice, Franklin said. Its going to be OK. Im loved. Im supported. When you put things in perspective, if a disappointing meet is the worst thing that happens in my life, then I have a pretty damn good life.Franklin will return to Cal in the fall to resume her studies, but she made clear that her swimming career isnt over.It doesnt mean Im anywhere close to being done with this sport, she said. Ive got so much left to give to this sport, to my fans, to the people whove been supporting me.If theres a bright side, Franklin has learned just how much shes really loved.Yeah, its a disappointment. But the support Ive received has shown me so much more than I ever couldve expected, she said. Youre so much more than the number of medals you have, youre so much more than the time you spend in the pool, your value goes so beyond all of that. I dont think I ever wouldve come to that realization without going through something like this.---Follow Paul Newberry on Twitter at www.twitter.com/pnewberry1963 .
