PORTO ALEGRE, Brazil -- Karim Benzema scored twice and created a third that was
confirmed by goal-line technology as France beat Honduras 3-0 Sunday in its
first World Cup match.
Claudio Bravo Jersey . The dominant win was a
relief for France, whose team of highly paid players failed to win in South
Africa and was sent home in a disgrace after going on a training strike.
"Winning 3-0 at a World Cup isnt easy," France coach Didier Deschamps said.
"(The players should) savour the moment, theres nothing more wonderful." France
dominated the match from the opening whistle, despite a series of scrappy
tackles by the Honduran team seeking its first World Cup win. Benzemas first
goal came from the penalty spot just before halftime after Wilson Palacios was
sent off with his second yellow card for charging into the back of Paul Pogba.
The Real Madrid striker calmly slotted the ball to the left of Noel Valladares
to give Les Bleus a deserved lead going into the break. With Honduras down to 10
men, France continued to dominate and Benzema created the second goal in the
48th minute -- the first to be confirmed by goal-line technology at the World
Cup. Benzema latched onto a long ball by Yohan Cabaye and his shot hit the post
and came back across goal before Valladares fumbled it over his own line. With
the new technology system confirming the ball crossed the line, referee Sandro
Ricci gave the own goal despite Honduran protests. Benzema scored his second in
the 72nd, firing in powerfully from inside the area after a long range shot by
right back Mathieu Debuchy was blocked. "Its my first World Cup and I think were
all satisfied with the result," Benzema said. "It was important to win this
match." French keeper Hugo Lloris didnt have to touch the ball until the 31
minute and didnt have to make a save all night. France looked dangerous from the
start, with Blaise Matuidi and Antoine Griezmann both hitting the crossbar
before the half-hour mark. The only downside for the French fans was that the
teams national anthems werent played before the game because of an apparent
malfunction -- meaning they didnt get a chance to sing "La Marseillaise." FIFA
did not immediately give an explanation to why the anthems werent played.
Cristopher Toselli Jersey . The Toronto
Argonauts released the impressive sophomore quarterback a little more than two
weeks before he was scheduled to hit the free agent market on February 15,

as Seattle Sounders FC rolled to a 4-2 win over Chivas USA at CenturyLink Field
on Saturday to move three points clear at the top of the Western Conference.
Chivas put up a fight in the first half as the visitors held a 2-1 lead through
18 minutes. However, the Sounders scored three unanswered goals to close the
match and clinch a fifth win in seven games to remain on top of the Supporters
Shield table. The loss eliminates Chivas from postseason contention, and is the
clubs seventh straight setback. Felix Borja helped set up the opening goal for
Chivas after 12 minutes when he got into the penalty area and forced Stefan Frei
to make a save, leaving Erick Torres to collect the rebound and roll the ball
home. Martins replied for Seattle within two minutess as he picked up the ball
35 yards from goal, danced past a defender and lashed a left-footed rocket

goalkeeper Dan Kennedy. Clint Dempsey then put the Sounders in front just before
the break when some good ball movement in the build up allowed Martins to get
into a good position and slide a pass to Dempsey for a simple tap in. The lead
was stretched to 4-2 by Seattle in the 52nd when a deflected chip from Martins
found its way past Kennedy, while Seattle nearly added another goal on the hour

SOCHI, Russia -- The Detroit Red Wings dont expect Henrik Zetterberg to play
again during the regular season.
Nike Air Max 2015 Suomi . Zetterberg had back
surgery Friday in New York to remove a fragmented disk. "I dont anticipate hell
be ready to play in any games of the regular season," Red Wings general manager
Ken Holland told The Associated Press on Saturday. "Im hopeful that we can play
our way into the playoffs and that hell be back, but thats down the road." The
Red Wings and Swedish Olympic hockey team captain played once at the Sochi Games
before pulling out because of the injury. Holland is hopeful Zetterbergs back
injury does not prematurely end his career. "Im told it has nothing to do with
his career," Holland said. "But the surgery is something that needed to be done
and hell be as good as new." Detroit, which is aiming to earn a spot in a 23rd
consecutive NHL post-season, is competing for one of the final playoff spots in
the Eastern Conference. The team announced Friday that Zetterbergs status would
be evaluated again in eight weeks, a timetable that likely ruled him out for a
return before the regular season ends on April 13. The playoffs begin April 16.
"Were using the eight-week period, but it could be six or seven or it could be
longer," Holland said. "In December, when Z was having some issues and we shut
him down, we were aware there was a fragment in there. We were hopeful he could
get through the season. "Unfortunately, the fragment lodged itself in a nerve."
Zetterberg is expected to stay in New York until he is cleared to return to
Detroit in perhaps a few days. "Hes up and about, hes walking," Holland said.
"He just has to take it easy for a while." With 24 games left, it will be hard
for Red Wings to compete for a spot in the playoffs without Zetterberg. He has
16 goals and 32 assists -- both team highs -- in 45 games this season. He missed
most of December because of his back injury. "Its going to be a tight race just
like last year to end and we need all the bodies we can get," said Red Wings and
Sweden defenceman Jonathan Ericsson, who will face Canada in the Olympic
gold-medal game on Sunday in Russia. "Hank has been our best player all year."

GENEVA -- Cristiano Ronaldo and Zlatan Ibrahimovic warmed up for their World Cup
playoffs meeting with high-scoring displays for Real Madrid and Paris
Saint-Germain in the Champions League on Wednesday.
http://www.nflbroncosteamprostore.com/Youth-DeMarcus-Ware-Elite-Jersey/
. Ronaldos two goals lifted Madrid to a 2-1 home victory over Juventus in the
marquee matchup of the day, although the Portugal star was topped by Swedens
talismanic forward. Ibrahimovic struck four goals -- including an unstoppable
long-range strike -- as PSG outclassed Anderlecht 5-0 in Brussels. "Score a goal
like this, it is good for the memory," Ibrahimovic said of his third goal, which
was applauded by the 25,000 Anderlecht fans. He returned the applause to each
corner in turn. "It was a big honour for me." Defending champion Bayern Munich
routed Viktoria Plzen 5-0, with Franck Ribery scoring twice, and Bayer
Leverkusen won 4-0 against Shakhtar Donetsk. Madrid, PSG and Bayern all lead
their groups with three straight wins, and Manchester United heads Leverkusen by
a point after edging Real Sociedad 1-0. Manchester City also won, 2-1 at CSKA
Moscow, though the main talking point was racist abuse targeted by Russian fans
at Citys black players and reported by Citys Ivory Coast midfielder Yaya Toure.
The incident happened during a week-long UEFA campaign to highlight its fight
against racism and CSKA faces a partial stadium closure for a future home match.
Galatasaray beat Copenhagen 3-1, with Wesley Sneijder and Dider Drogba adding to
Wednesdays star-studded list of scorers, while Benfica levelled late in a 1-1
draw with Olympiakos. Three weeks ahead of their scheduled first-leg clash in
the Portugal vs. Sweden playoff, Ronaldo now leads Ibrahimovic 7-6 atop the
Champions League scoring table after just three matches. Ronaldo took only four
minutes to strike against Juventus, rounding goalkeeper Gianluigi Buffon to
score from a tight angle after taking a clever reverse pass from Angel Di Maria.
Juventus was level in the 22nd when Spanish forward Fernando Llorente pounced on
a loose ball after Iker Casillas dived low to push out Paul Pogbas far-post
header. Ronaldo got the winning goal in the 29th from the penalty spot after
Giorgio Chiellini wrestled Sergi Ramos to the ground as a free-kick cross came
in. Chiellini was red-carded in the 48th when he raced alongside Ronaldo and
caught the Madrid forwards face with a raised arm. Ibrahimovic fell one goal
short of Lionel Messis Champions League record of five in a match, yet was no
less memorable. A 17th minute tap-in was followed by a nonchalant back-heel in
the 22nd, a long-range screamer in the 36th and a dipping volley in the 62nd.
The French champions fourth was scored by Uruguay star Edinson Cavani who, not
for the first time this season, was somewhat left in the shadows. Bayern
outgunned Plzen, as expected, with 35 efforts on goal to none by the Czech
champion. "We played well but Plzen didnt make it hard," Bayern winger Arjen
Robben said. Ribery opening the scoring from the penalty spot. David Alaba made
it 2-0 at the break, and a second-half stroll was completed by Ribery, Bastian
Schweinsteiger and substitute Mario Goetze. Man City was frustrated soon after
arriving in Moscow by the poor condition of the green-painted pitch, and left
angered by home fans treatment of its black players. "For me as an African
player it is always sad to hear something like that and we need to do something
about it," said Toure, who said he informed referee Ovidiu Hategan of the abuse
during the match. Sergio Aguero eased the visitors mood with two goals in the
first half, carrying City clear of CSKA into second place behind Bayern.
Manchester United took just 69 seconds to score against Sociedad, when Inigo
Martinez clumsily booted the ball into his own net after a shot by Wayne Rooney
came back off the post United created ample chances to extend their lead, though
the Spanish visitors struck the frame of David De Geas goal in both halves.
Stefan Kiessling scored two valid goals for Leverkusen in his first game since
being credited with an infamous ghost goal through the side netting in a
Bundesliga match. Simon Rolfes, with a penalty early in the second half, and
Sidney Sam also scored. After Olympiakos led Benfica in the 29th from Alejandro
Dominguezs goal, a heavy rainstorm made the pitch almost unplayable in the
Stadium of Light in Lisbon which hosts the final next May. Oscar Cardozo
equalized in the 83rd in a goalmouth scramble.

. The future hall of famers stole the show at the Bell Centre on Tuesday night,
with Jagr moving into seventh place in all-time goal scoring and Brodeur
stopping 29 shots as the Devils downed the Montreal Canadiens 4-1. BASEL,
Switzerland -- Glenn Howard couldnt hide his frustration after making a pair of
early errors in Canadas round-robin opener at the world mens curling
championship. With lips pursed, the normally happy-go-lucky skip popped his
broom handle on the floor, shook his head and tugged at his shirt collar. France
took advantage of Howards missed takeout attempt in the third end but the
Canadian skip refocused and eventually guided his rink to a 7-5 victory. "I was
a little disappointed in myself," Howard said. "I missed a couple shots I dont
normally miss early and got us down." It was an uncharacteristic start for the
three-time world champion, who settled for a single point in the second end when
he threw his final stone through the house. "I missed a free draw for two -- I
just had to hit the rings," Howard said. "That was a brain cramp more or less. I
disappointed myself, I dont do that very often. What do you do? Every once in a
while it happens. I just tried to concentrate on the ice, make sure I didnt
overthrow it and make sure I got it to the right spot. "I think personally I got
it going a little bit after that, which is what you have to do and my guys hung
in there." French skip Thomas Dufour was steady but his rink faltered late in
the game. Howard and teammates Wayne Middaugh, second Brent Laing and lead Craig
Savill took full advantage. When Tony Angiboust -- who throws fourth stones for
France -- missed a double takeout attempt with his last throw of the seventh
end, Howard came through with a draw to the button to score three. "We didnt
panic, we just did what we had to do," Howard said. "I thought we outplayed
France in the last half of the game and that basically was the difference."
There was a tepid atmosphere in the 9,000-seat venue as only a few hundred fans
took in the opening draw on a sunny Saturday in this picturesque Swiss city.
Middaugh said he battled some jitters at the start. "Its the world championship
and youve got the Maple Leaf on your back," he said. "We were a little bit
nervous but we steadied our way through. "Thats the whole goal for the week,
just get better as the week goes on." France made it a one-point game heading
into the 10th end but Howard hit a double-raise takeout with his penultimate
throw. He then cleared out a French stone to score one for the victory. "It was
a good start for us to play against a team that was playing well and was ready
for us," Middaugh said.
http://www.nflbroncosteamprostore.com/Youth-Michael-Schofield-Elite-Jersey/.
"You know what, we were ready for them. Luckily we had the one big end there and
that was the difference." Canada will play Germany and the United States on
Sunday. Top skips like Norways Thomas Ulsrud, Scotlands Tom Brewster and Swedens
Niklas Edin are on tap next week. "Theres no free space on the bingo card here
as far as Im concerned," Howard said. "Every team is going to be good and we
expect them to play that way. Hopefully we just play that one shot better." In
other early games, Norway needed an extra end to defeat Denmark 6-3, Germany
outscored the Americans 8-6 and Scotland topped New Zealand 5-3. Scotland moved
to 2-0 later Saturday with a 11-6 win over Norway while Sweden doubled hosts
Switzerland 8-4. China downed the Czech Republic 9-5 and Denmark eased by
winless New Zealand 11-4. The Canadian players looked slick with their black and
red shirts, white belts and black pants. The Norwegians, playing on the next
sheet over, retained their usual fashion edge on the competition with their
colourful flag-inspired trousers. There were pockets of fans from each country
in the arena. A few Canadian flags and banners were spotted and some vocal
French supporters were on hand as well. Round-robin play continues through
Thursday. If necessary, tiebreaker games will be played Friday. The Page playoff
system will be used at this event. Playoff games begin Saturday and the medal
games are on tap April 8. Teams also have an opportunity to earn Olympic
qualifying points for their countries at the competition. Howards previous world
titles came in 1987, 1993 and 2007. He teamed with Laing, Savill and Richard
Hart to win his last world championship. Middaugh joined the Ontario team prior
to this season after Harts retirement. Manitobas Jeff Stoughton beat Scotland
6-5 in last years world championship in Regina. Notes: The Canada-France game

SANTA CLARA, Calif.
http://www.leafshockeyfanstore.com/Tie-Domi-Jersey/
. -- San Francisco tight end Delanie Walker has returned to practice for the
first time since breaking his left jaw in two places late in the regular season
and hopes to be healthy enough to play in the NFC championship game. Walker had
the wires removed on Monday and took part in practice on a limited basis with no
contact on Wednesday. He was out there again during the open media portion on
Thursday. "I didnt do too much, so I wont say I was rusty," Walker said before
Thursdays practice. "I feel like I was good. Everybody said I looked faster and
that I looked like I was over-hyper. Because you get back on the field, you try
to do everything full speed." Coach Jim Harbaugh said Thursday that Walkers
status is up to team doctors and Walker said he will push to get on the field on
Sunday against the New York Giants. "If they leave it up to me, of course Im
going to play," Walker said. "I want to help my team out, and this is a big
game, and I feel like if Im out there maybe I can help out with the offence."
Walker broke his jaw in two places when he took a knee to the face from Seahawks
linebacker Leroy Hill in the first quarter Dec. 24. Walker is a key part of San
Franciscos offence as the 49ers used at least two tight ends on the field more
than any other team in the regular season. The 49ers ran 43 per cent of their
plays this season with two or more tight ends, compared to a league average of
26 per cent, according to STATS LLC. Walker was tied for fourth on the team in
the regular season with 19 catches for 198 yards and three touchdowns.
Justin Peelle, the third string tight end, had just one catch in the regular
season. "Delanie is a very key cog in what we do," offensive co-ordinator Greg
Roman said. "Hes talented physically. Hes talented with what he can handle in
terms of game planning. The load we put on him is very unique to what most
players get in the NFL, or anywhere for that matter. He brings speed,
play-making ability, the ability to block in a variety of ways -- in space, in
the box. Hes just a dynamic tight end." Walker had his most productive game of
the season against the Giants in November, when he caught six passes for 69
yards in a 27-20 victory. Roman said he is putting together separate game plans
for if Walker is ready to play or if he has to sit out. With Walker sidelined
last week, Vernon Davis set an NFL post-season record for tight ends with 180
yards receiving in a 36-32 win over the New Orleans Saints. He caught seven
passes and scored two touchdowns, including the game-winner with 9 seconds
remaining. Walker is testing out a new helmet this week with a bigger facemask
and wider area around the jaw to see if he can play with that on Sunday. Walker
said doctors told him that left jaw is now as strong as the right side and there
is little chance of re-breaking it in the same places. "But its possible it can
happen," he said. "This is football, and they warned me of that. But I feel
confident in myself in my doctors feel confident in me to let me go out there
with a helmet and do a little bit, so Im confident that I can do whatever I can
to be out there."

bench. Lin tallied 15 points, a career-high 11 rebounds and 10 assists and
James Harden returned from injury to score 28 points to help the Rockets to
their third straight victory, 106-92. PHILADELPHIA -- Claude Giroux is excited
about the way the Philadelphia Flyers are playing. Wayne Simmonds had two goals
and an assist to lead the Philadelphia Flyers to a 4-1 win over the Minnesota
Wild on Monday night, extending their home win streak to nine games. "We got the
four lines rolling. Everybodys playing great," Giroux said. "I think when you
have a team effort like tonight, its a really good feeling. We can take it in
for a couple days for Christmas here, and be ready to go on the road." The
Flyers brought their record back above .500 (17-16-4). Luke Schenn scored first
for the Flyers, on the teams first shot of the night, giving them a lead they
never lost. Scott Hartnells assist on that goal was the veteran Flyers 500th
career point. "It was a big win, more importantly," Hartnell said. "Its kind of
cool to hit a century mark, but we wanted to end into this Christmas break with
a big win. Everybodys got a lot of smiles on our faces. That was an amazing
effort and a big win. Its huge." Giroux had a goal and an assist, extending his
scoring streak to eight games, a new high for the Flyers captain. While the
Flyers will be using their three-day break to celebrate, the Wild will have
plenty of time to consider whats gone wrong for them in recent days. Mondays
loss was their third in a row, a stretch of games during which theyve scored
only four goals and sank to fourth place in the Central Division. "Its a good
time for the break," Kyle Brodziak said. "We need a few days to really find what
we need to do, and what every guy in the room really needs to do, however we
need to do it, to break out of whatever funk we are in right now." With the
loss, the Wild are 1-7-1 in their last nine games on the road. They fell to
2-7-0 lifetime at the Wells Fargo Center. Theyve lost six of their last 10
games. Mikael Grandlund scored the Wilds lone marker in the first period, a
power-play goal duriing a 1:40 two-man advantage that cut the Flyers lead to
2-1.
http://www.leafshockeyfanstore.com/Travis-Dermott-Jersey/.
But after that goal, scored late in the first period, the Wilds offence all but
disappeared. The Wild travelled to Philadelphia after falling to the New York
Rangers 4-1 Sunday. Back-to-back games can be difficult, and goaltender
Niklas Backstrom started both. He, along with many teammates, seemed tired. Wild
head coach Mike Yeo wasnt about to use fatigue as an excuse. "Im not going to
paint a rosy picture and Im not going to make any excuses," Yeo said. "Flat out,
we need to be better. Its every one of us. It starts with me. We have to be
better. What I mean is, this is not us. Plain and simple, this is not us."
Across the ice, however, the Flyers felt as if Mondays effort was perfectly
representative of their team identity. They scored on the power play (Simmonds
first-period goal), they kept their defence tight and they played hard right up
until the final horn sounded. They feel theyve managed to turn around a dire
start to their season. "No one wants to let anyone down in here -- turning the
puck over, making soft plays," Hartnell said. "When youre accountable to your
teammates, the guy next to you in the dressing room, you play hard, you play
smarter. Weve got to eliminate some simple penalties that weve been taking
lately, but its been a lot of fun here at home. Weve got to take this show on
the road here." Both teams will return from the days off with games in Canada --
the Wild in Winnipeg, the Flyers in Edmonton. But only the Flyers will be riding
the momentum of a complete-game victory. "We definitely needed that," Simmonds
said. "You guys asked if we were worried, I said no. We know what were capable
of." NOTES: Zach Parise missed the game with a lower-body injury. .
Jakub Voracek extended his career-high point streak to eight games. .

. A proposal approved by the committee says coaches would be allowed to

certain conditions.PITTSBURGH -- Toronto Blue Jays manager John Gibbons said he
sat awake in his hotel bed Saturday night, thinking about his bullpens recent
problems. He even addressed his group of relievers Sunday morning.
Dustin McGowan made those worries a nonfactor, at least for a day. McGowan
pitched three-hit ball for seven innings, Colby Rasmus hit a grand slam and
Melky Cabrera added a two-run homer as the Blue Jays beat the Pittsburgh Pirates
7-2. "We had to have that one," Gibbons said. McGowan (2-1) allowed one run,
striking out five and throwing 101 pitches. It was the second consecutive
quality start for McGowan, a diabetic who started wearing an insulin pump on the
mound in his last start. "My blood sugar still gets erratic sometimes," he said.
"But thats part of the game for me. With the adrenaline going and everything, it
does what it wants to do. I cant control it sometimes." McGowan eclipsed the
100-pitch mark for the first time since June 27, 2008. "Thats two outings
wearing that pump," Gibbons said. "Maybe theres something to that." It was just
the fourth win in 13 games for Toronto, which prevented the Pirates from
completing their first series sweep of the season. Pirates manager Clint Hurdle
and first base coach Rick Sofield were ejected by plate umpire Greg Gibson at
the end of the fourth inning for arguing a called third strike on Jordy Mercer.
The strikeout stranded two runners and ended the inning. "I think it was pretty
apparent that the low strike wasnt going to come into play," Hurdle said. "But
the fact of the matter was it got to a point where I felt a pitch that hadnt
been called a strike all day got called a strike in, for me, a very pivotal
at-bat for us." Rasmus connected in the second inning for his fourth career
slam. He also doubled and singled. The Blue Jays held on to this early lead.
Toronto wasted a 5-3, ninth-inning edge in the series opener and a 5-0,
fourth-inning advantage on Saturday night. Josh Harrison hit two triples for the
Pirates. Edinson&nnbsp;Volquez (1-3) gave up six runs and seven hits in five
innings.
http://www.jetsfootballofficial.com/authentic-jeremy-kerley-jets-jersey/.
. He also allowed six earned runs in his last outing April 21 against St. Louis.
Volquez pitched himself into a jam in the second inning before Rasmus stepped to
the plate, issuing walks to Edwin Encarnacion and Juan Francisco to start the
inning. Brett Lawrie reached on an infield single to load the bases with no
outs. Rasmus hit a full-count curveball about 10 rows deep in the right-field
seats for his seventh home run of the season, giving the Blue Jays a 4-1 lead.
Rasmus said he was not necessarily looking for an offspeed pitch in that
situation. "I was just trying to be out over the plate and throw my hands at
anything because hes got a good changeup, good curveball and a good two-seamer,
and he already tried to thumb me a couple in," he said. "I was just trying to be
ready to put something in play." The slam negated an early lead the Pirates
built on Neil Walkers groundout, scoring Harrison after his triple. Harrison
also tripled in the eighth and scored on Andrew McCutchens sacrifice fly.
Torontos Jose Bautista walked in the fifth to reach base in his 31st consecutive
game, the longest active streak in the majors. But he went hitless, snapping a
career-best 13-game hitting streak. Cabrera had three hits, and extended
Torontos lead to 6-1 with a two-run homer off Volquez in the fifth. Rasmus
scored another run in the eighth on an RBI single by pinch-hitter
Dioner Navarro. NOTES: Highly regarded Blue Jays RHP Marcus Stroman made his big
league debut, allowing one earned run and one hit while getting two outs. The
Blue Jays selected the 23-year-old Stroman Triple-A Buffalo and optioned OF
Anthony Gose. ... The Pirates plan to recall LHP Jeff Locke to start against San
Francisco on Monday night. An All-Star last year, Locke struggled in the second
half of 2013 and did not make the Pirates opening day roster. ... J.A. Happ

night.

ST.
Daryl Johnston Jersey . LOUIS -- Home opener
hoopla was no distraction at all for Michael Wacha. Neither was the 49-degree
chill for the first pitch. The 22-year-old rookie was definitely excited about
the occasion and the opportunity. Just like last fall when he was the breakout
pitching star of the post-season, he fed off the atmosphere. "Huge crowd out
there, a lot of energy," Wacha said after the St. Louis Cardinals beat the
Cincinnati Reds 5-3 on Monday. "Its a lot of fun pitching in front of your home
crowd, 40,000-plus fans. "I dont know who wouldnt thrive off those kind of
situations." Wacha outdid Tony Cingrani in a rematch of young power arms, and
the Cardinals got a three-run double from Yadier Molina in the first inning. "I
didnt have my fastball, so what are you going to do? I just tried to battle,"
Cingrani said. "One bad pitch and it cleared the bases." A standing-room crowd
of 47,492, the largest at 9-year-old Busch Stadium, braved daylong rain to greet
the National League champions and take a look at the new Ballpark Village.
Hundreds milled about the attached complex, which features five sports bars and
rooftop seating. The Cardinals bunched three hits and a walk over the first five
hitters to take the early lead against Cingrani (0-1), who allowed two hits in
seven scoreless innings against the Cardinals six days earlier in Cincinnati.
The Cards went 1 for 18 before adding RBIs from Matt Holliday and Allen Craig
off Trevor Bell in a two-run seventh. St. Louis ended a three-game losing streak
on opening day, including a blowout loss to the Reds last year. Wacha (1-0)
hadnt allowed a run in 21 career innings against the Reds before back-to-back
doubles by Brayan Pena and pinch-hitter Roger Bernadina in the fifth cut the
Cardinals lead to 3-1. The NL championship series MVP benefited from two
double-play balls in six stingy innings and has permitted one run in 13 2-3
innings his first two starts. Wacha threw 82 pitches before getting lifted for a
pinch hitter with the Cardinals up by two runs and two on in the sixth. St.
Louis manager Mike Matheny wanted to take a shot at putting the Reds away, but
thought the right-hander had plenty left. "That was more of a situation of whats
best for the day, whats best for that particular game," Matheny said. Cingrani
needed 31 pitches to get through the first and lasted four innings, striking out
five but walking four. Matheny said before the game that his hitters had been a
"click off" with timing against the 24-year-old lefty last week and should
benefit from another chance so soon. Pena said he wasnt trying to make excuses
but thought Cingrani was bothered by the elements. "The baseball was slippery.
He couldnt grab his breaking ball the way he wanted," Pena said. Peter Bourjos
moved up to second in the order and got his first two hits of the season after
an 0-for-13 start. Craig got his third hit and third RBI of the season after
entering 2 for 22. Seeing Wacha once again didnt do the Reds any good. Theyve
totalled 18 runs in seven games. "Right now, almost collectively, weve struggled
to do anything with guys in scoring position," Cincinnati manager Bryan Price
said. "But thatll change. Its tough to sit through it." The start of the game
was delayed 12 minutes after the inclement weather combined with pregame
ceremonies that featured the traditional grand entrance with players, coaches
and Hall of Famers touring Busch Stadium on the back of convertibles and trucks.
A team of Clydesdales was kept in the stable due to concerns the field might be
damaged. Billy Hamilton doubled to start the game and the Reds put the leadoff
man on base in the first four innings but were undone by two double plays.
Zack Cozart broke an 0-for-22 slump to start the season with a bloop RBI single,
and pinch-hitter Neftali Soto had a sacrifice fly for his first career RBI in
the ninth against St. Louis closer Trevor Rosenthal, who gave up his first runs
at home since Aug. 15 against Pittsburgh. The Cardinals opened the first with
singles by Matt Carpenter and Bourjos, and Holliday walked to load the bases
with none out. Craig struck out before Molina cleared the bases with a drive to
left-centre on a 1-2 pitch. NOTES: Lance Lynn (1-0, 5.40 ERA) opposes
Homer Bailey (0-1, 8.31) in the second game of the series, another rematch from
the season-opening series in Cincinnati. Lynn allowed three runs in five innings
and Bailey gave up four runs in 4 1-3 innings in St. Louis 7-6 win. ... The Reds
anticipate activating reliever Jonathan Broxton (forearm) from the 15-day
disabled list Tuesday. The team held off making the move Monday to give Broxton
two days off after pitching on consecutive days.

Brook Lopez had surgery Saturday on his broken right foot, with the team saying
a second procedure was done in hopes of preventing further injury. Besides
repairing the fractured fifth metatarsal, surgeons also repositioned another
bone. "With this procedure, we both fixed the broken bone in Brooks right foot
and repositioned another bone, so that his sole of his foot will bear weight
more evenly than before," Dr. Riley Williams III, the Nets medical director,
said in a statement. "The repositioniing portion of the surgery lessens the
stress on the fractured bone, and decreases the likelihood of re-injury in the
future.
Darren McFadden Jersey. " Lopez also broke
the foot just before the 2011-12 season, when he was limited to just five games.
He then had another procedure last off-season to fix a bent screw in the foot.
Lopez was injured Dec. 20 against Philadelphia. The All-Star centre, who was
averaging a team-high 20.7 points, will miss the remainder of the season and the
Nets expect him back for off-season workouts.

TORONTO - No team in the NHL relies more on a core group to produce offence than
do the Toronto Maple Leafs.
Cheap Jerseys Wholesale NFL . Seven players
have combined for 84 per cent of the teams 74 goals this season, the highest
such percentage for any teams top seven scorers in the league. Alarmingly among
that group in Toronto are two centres, Dave Bolland and Tyler Bozak, who have
each missed a months worth of games due to injury already this season and yet
remain amongst the teams scoring leaders. The Leafs have dropped a season-high
five consecutive games, also losing six of the past seven while skidding through
an unhappy November that saw them win just twice in regulation. Prominent in
their struggles was a failure to produce offence at even-strength; theyve scored
just 18 such goals in the past 14 games, delivering two goals or fewer overall
in 11 of those games. Depth or a lack thereof has been the issue, both from the
defence and depth forwards. The Toronto blue-line has barely made a blip in the
cause offensively, totaling a scant three goals all season, two from
Dion Phaneuf and one into an empty-net. By comparison, the San Jose Sharks, who
beat the Leafs at the ACC on Tuesday, have 16 goals from their defenders this
season. Four Sharks alone have more goals individually than do the Leaf defence
as a unit. "When you describe our hockey club its always the back-end," said
Randy Carlyle following practice on Wednesday morning. "Does the back-end need
to provide more offence? For sure it does. We need more from our
back-end." Unlike last season, the team has also gotten little in the way of
contributions from its depth forwards. David Clarkson and Nik Kulemin have a
mere two goals apiece while Jay McClement, averaging nearly 17 minutes, has yet
to score and has just two assists. A fourth line with plenty of punch has been
predictably punch-less offensively, the likes of Colton Orr, Frazer McLaren,
Troy Bodie, Carter Ashton, and the since waived Jerred Smithson, all with zero
goals this season. Phil Kessel (15 goals), James van Riemsdyk (12), and
Mason Raymond (10), a late free agent add who sits third on the team in scoring,
have been responsible for the bulk of offence, helped by Nazem Kadri (7)
Joffrey Lupul (8), and the aforementioned Bolland (6) and Bozak (4). Injuries
and suspensions to core players, such as Clarkson, Bolland, Bozak and Lupul,
certainly havent helped with their replacements unable to fill the void. One
rare exception is Trevor Smith, who since being recalled to line up in an
offensive role, has produced six points in eight games. "We need more from
secondary scoring," Carlyle said. "Secondary scoring comes from your second,
third and fourth line. Weve noted that. Weve asked that." Among the desired
changes to the offence would be more shots to the net and more efficient
movement of the puck up the ice, thus instigating whats been an inconsistent
forecheck. Spending vast amounts of time defending, while struggling to break
out of their own end, the Leafs have been unable to establish that forecheck,
the lifeblood in some ways of the teams attack. "The one thing weve got to do
is weve got to get stronger on our forecheck," said Carlyle, pointing to brief
periods of such success against the Sharks, notably during an energetic start to
the season period. Generating much of their offence from a potent power-play
this season, if not the flash and dash of their skill players on the rush, the
Leafs have yet to produce much off their forecheck, thereby unable to sustain
time in the offensive zone in the manner Carlyle would like. "We have to start
being more fluent as a group of five," said Cody Franson, who leads the defence
with 13 points, but has yet to score this season. "Theres a couple things that
were doing systematically that are inhibiting our chances to one, generate
things off cycles, and two, generate shots from the point. Just a couple small,
little technicalities that are hurting us rather than helping us. Once we can
get fluent with correcting those I think thatll help out a lot." Team

football stadium that the St. Louis Rams call home is running out of money as
the NFLs team long-term future in the city remains murky. The publicly-funded
Edward Jones Dome anticipates needing an extra $40 million to cover maintenance
over the next 15 years, the St. Louis Post -Dispatch (bit.ly/1pGZkMd) reported
Wednesday. The St. Louis Regional Convention and Sports Complex Authority, which
owns the downtown dome, expects to exhaust its $16 million in savings in six
years. The dome receives a total of $24 million annually from the city of St.
Louis, St. Louis County and the state of Missouri for maintenance and to pay off
construction debt , but those payments are scheduled to cease over the next
decade. And the stadiums future remains in limbo as lease negotiations between
St. Louis Rams owner Stan Kroenke and the stadium authority drag on. The Rams
can break their 30-year lease after the upcoming season, which would be a decade
early. Brian McMurtry, the authoritys executive director, is asking the three
governments to not only continue providing at least $4 million for annual upkeep
payments but to also consider sending the dome an additional $40 million in
cash, or selling $40 million in new bonds. Hes also suggested putting several
stadium-related items on the citys bond issue list for a public vote as early as
this November. "Im going to tell you, they dont know how theyre going to do it,"
he said. "But they want to know what its going to take." Dome maintenance is
almost entirely dependent on public dollars -- unlike Busch Stadium, a private
ballpark funded largely by the St. Louis Cardinals, and the Scottrade Center,
which is maintained by the ownners of the St.

China Jerseys. Louis Blues and was built with $135 million from
local companies. To help entice the Rams to stay, the St. Louis Convention &
Visitors Commission, which manages the dome, in 2012 offered a $124 million
improvement plan that included a bigger scoreboard and better club seating, with
the Rams paying slightly more half those costs. The team countered with a far
more ambitious proposal that called for a new roof with a sliding panel and a
bevy of improvements that would keep the city convention centre in the dome
closed for three years. The team didnt put a price tag on its request, but city
officials estimated the upgrades would cost $700 million. "We cant come up with
a long-term solution until we know what the relationship is going to be with the
Rams," said Jim Shrewsbury, chairman of the stadium authoritys board. The
stadium authority sold bonds in 1991 to build the $300 million dome, which
opened in 1995. The sponsors agreed to a 30-year payment plan. The state would
send the stadium authority $10 million a year toward debt repayment, plus $2
million for upkeep. The city and county each would pay half of that. University
of Chicago economist Allen Sanderson said the conundrum facing St. Louis civic
leaders is not uncommon when it comes to paying for aging public sports arenas.
"Estimates of revenues tend to be overstated and costs played down, or at least
pushed off to the future," he said. "Youve got this combination, on the city
side, of public officials worried about the near future, not the long term, and
these sports franchises that have an enormous amount of market power. And thats
a bad combination for taxpayers."

DUNEDIN, Fla.
Nike Roshe Run Sneaker Boot Waterproof . --
Jose Bautista kept up his torrid start to the spring, hitting two doubles and
driving in two runs Thursday that sent the Toronto Blue Jays over the
Philadelphia Phillies 7-5. A day after hitting a long home run against the
Phillies in his first at-bat of exhibition play, Bautista had an RBI double in
the first inning off Philadelphia ace Cliff Lee. Bautista finished 2 for 2 with
a walk. The former two-time major league homer champion missed the final six
weeks last year because of a hip injury. Jose Reyes, Brett Lawrie and
Melky Cabrera also drove in runs for Toronto. "I thought we swung the bats
pretty good," Blue Jays manager John Gibbons said. Gibbons liked how many of
Torontos hits were up the middle or to the opposite field. "Against a lot of
lefties and things like that, you have to be able to do that and I think it was
progress for us," he said. Lee allowed two hits and a run in two innings. He
struck out three and walked none. "Obviously Im trying to throw strikes," Lee
said. "I made a couple mistakes. The first double was, for sure, a mistake. I
tried to throw a backdoor cutter and it ended up right down the middle." "And
then Bautista, I just missed on the pitch before and tried to throw the same
pitch. It wasnt a bad one, its just you get into a 2-2 count with him in that
situation is not where you want to be. He put a good swing on it." Philadelphias
offence was powered by a pair of home runs from bench hopefuls: Darin Ruf hit a
two-run shot in the third and John Mayberry Jr. had a solo drive in the sixth.
Blue Jays starter R.A. Dickey allowed one unearned run in two innings. He gave
up two hits, two walks and struck out two. STARTING TIME Phillies: Lee gave up
doubles to two of the first three batters he faced, then stopped the Blue Jays.
He is the odds-on favourite to start on opening day March 31 at Texas. Blue
Jays: Dickey got through an uneasy first inning to feel good about his spring
debut. The knuckleballer walked back-to-back batters with one out in his opening
inning. "Im feeling a lot better than I was at this point last year, so Im
hoping that will carry out through the rest of spring and opening day," Dickey
said. RUF RIDER Ruf hit a long home run off Esmil Rogers with one on and no one
out in the third inning. The shot was the first for any Phillies player this
spring. Ruf finished 1 for 3 with a walk. KNUCKLED Dickey worked with new
battery partner Erik Kratz for the first time this spring. Kratz, a catcher
acquired from the Phillies in a trade this winter, wore a first basemans glove
in an attempt to have a better chance at catching Dickeys arsenal of
knuckleballs. Kratz allowed one passed ball in the games first inning. "Its a
hard thing to do," Dickey said. "The game speed, and runners on -- its just
going to take some time. But I felt like he looked real comfortable back there.
Outside of the one passed ball, I felt like he handled it pretty well." TRAINERS
ROOM Philadelphia right-handed reliever Mike Adams threw off the mound for the
first time since undergoing shoulder surgery on July 31. He was limited to 28
games in his first season after signing a two-year, $12 million free agent deal
with the Phillies. The veteran setup reliever hopes to join the Phillies bullpen
at some point in April. "It went good -- really good," he said. "It was probably
an 85 per cent bullpen or so. I wasnt trying to let loose right off the bat. I
was trying to get a good feel for throwing off the slope again." Philadelphia
right-hander Ethan Martin, who entered camp competing for the fifth starters
job, left after facing four batters in the fifth inning with shoulder
discomfort. Hell be examined by the team medical staff on Friday morning. "He
was pain-free pitching, but the ball just wasnt coming out, throwing 85 miles
per hour," Phillies manager Ryne Sandberg said. "That was a sign for me to go
out and see what was going on."

this week that the Dodgers are listening to offers for Kemp, who is heading into
the third year of an eight-year, $160 million contract. "For the time being they
are not going to move him," Stewart said. "He didnt even say that. I put in the
words for the time being because you never know. Somebody could come along and
overwhelm them with a player or players or a combination of players that would
make it worth their while." Stewart said Kemp, who is coming off left anklle and

field," Stewart said. "They may play four outfielders but, if hes healthy, hes
not going to be a platoon guy. Im saying that. If hes healthy, which we have no
reason to believe hes not going to be healthy, hes going to play centre field
every day and they can figure out what they want to do with the other three."
