OAKLAND, Calif. Asics Kayano 20 Oranje . -- The Washington Nationals placed first baseman Adam LaRoche on the 15-day disabled list because of a strained right quad. The team announced the move late Saturday, but it wasnt made official until Sunday. LaRoche aggravated the injury during Fridays 8-0 loss to the Oakland Athletics and was held out of the final two games of the series. He was the Nationals leading hitter in several categories and had five home runs and 21 RBIs before getting hurt. LaRoche joins Nationals third baseman Ryan Zimmerman and outfielder Bryce Harper on the DL. Tyler Moore was called up from Triple-A Syracuse before Sundays game against the As to replace LaRoche. Moore batted seventh and went hitless in three at-bats. Asics Sneakers Dames Sale . Vinatieri will face his former team in Sundays AFC championship game.Post-season Record: 20-9 (Colts were 2-1 when Vinatieri was on injured reserve following 2009 season). Asics Gel Lyte v Dames. Rocque and her Edmonton rink stole two points in the eighth end and hit out for the win after South Korea scored a single in the ninth. "Honestly, this is unexplainable," Rocque said.VANCOUVER - At six foot five and 325 pounds, Peter Dyakowski fits in nicely when it comes to the supersized world of pro football.Caterpillar would have a hard time moving the Hamilton Tiger-Cats offensive lineman.But the big man couldnt help but be envious of pint-sized teammate Brandon Banks on the trip out to the Grey Cup.I like being a big guy but we were flying out on the plane (Tuesday), we were eating our dinner and all the O-lineman were like this, said Dyakowski, mimicking eating in a scrunched-up position.And Brandons sitting back, enjoying a nice relaxed dinner in this giant chair that he gets to sit in, with all the space in the world. I guess sometimes hes got a leg up on us.Banks is listed at five foot seven and 153 pounds. But pressed by reporters, the kick returner/receiver known as Speedy or Speedy-B admits to some poetic licence.Ive always been the smallest guy and I honestly probably weigh 149 pounds, he said after practice Wednesday at B.C. Place Stadium.While it is home to all body types, the Canadian Football League is still a game of giants. Reporters scattered when a passing play neared the sideline Wednesday. The Hamilton players, wearing shoulder pads and helmets, were not going at full speed but still managed to make like a thundering herd.Amidst the blunt instruments, Banks cut through like a scalpel. An elegant runner, he can change gears in an instant — like a car with a nitrous oxide system.I just feel any time I touch the ball, I have the possibility of going the distance, he said.He did that twice on electric punt returns last weekend — three times if you count a 78-yard runback for a score that was called back due to a penalty — in Hamiltons 40-24 Eastern final win over the Montreal Alouettes.Banks had five punt returns for a playoff-record 226 yards. His two TD returns — which covered 93 and 88 yards — also tied a playoff mark. The North Carolina native had three carries for 35 yards and four catches for 33 yards to finish with 294 total yards.His second TD return was a marvel as he left Als players twisting in the wind.It was almost like Casper the Ghost because it looks like we were just grasping for air and he wasnt there, said Montreal coach Tom Higgins.Brandon Banks is absolutely a special player. He just has a gift, said Ticats slotback Luke Tasker. Thats all there iis to it. Asics Gel Saga Sale. With kickers penalized for punting the ball out of bounds other than within the 20-yard line, it is hard to escape Banks.Is his size an advantage, he was asked?It has its pros and cons, he said. Because when I get hit, it dont feel good.But it does have a little bit of advantage. Ive got a little bit of wiggle with me to get away from bigger guys.One opponent he relishes seeing in his sights is the kicker — usually the last man to beat, a pylon in opposition colours.Thats the best thing. Thats like Christmas morning for me, he said with a laugh.Banks, 26, spent three years as a returner for the Washington Redskins but came north last year after the NFL team did not tender the restricted free agent an offer.I dont think I got a fair shake, he said of his time in the NFL. I dont think I got an opportunity to show my wide receiver skills.NFL rule changes also reduced the role of a returner on kickoffs.But everything happens for a reason, said Banks, who is due to become a free agent after Sundays championship game. Im glad to be here.It has all added to the size of the chip on Banks shoulder. He has been doubted at every level of football.Hamilton coach Kent Austin says he continues to be surprised by what Banks can do on the field.Hes really, really competitive, and he plays with a lot of confidence, you know. But some of the things that he does on the field, yeah, obviously you cant coach. Were just lucky to have a guy with that kind of talent.Now, that being said, I dont think hes going to surprise Calgary. I mean, theyre really good on defensive special teams. They cover well. And weve got a big challenge in front of us to continue to hold blocks and give Brandon a chance.But hes just a really talented young man thats always had to overcome the Im not big enough talk, and too small to play, not strong enough, all of those things, yet he continues to break tackles, make plays, and gets the ball in the end zone.Edmontons Tony Tompkins was the last man to return a kickoff for a TD in the Grey Cup, rambling 96 yards in the Eskimos 38-35 win over Montreal in the 2005 championship game in Vancouver. Torontos Jimmy (The Jet) Cunningham returned a punt 80 yards for a TD in the 1996 Grey Cup when the Argos defeated Edmonton 43-37 in Hamilton.---Follow @NeilMDavidson on Twitter Cheap Jerseys Wholesale Jerseys Wholesale Jerseys Cheap Jerseys Cheap NFL Jerseys Cheap Jerseys China Wholesale Jerseys ' ' '
