No obvious cause of death was found during the procedure that lasted more than six hours, but more tests will be carried out on samples taken from the body. “There are no macroscopic signs which allows us to determine the boys cause of death,” said coroner Cristian DOvidio, who performed the autopsy. “Now more in-depth examinations are needed, even of a toxicological nature.” Morosini, who was on loan from Serie A side Udinese, collapsed and died after suffering a cardiac arrest during a Serie B match at Pescara on Saturday. He was 25. When Morosinis body is released it will be taken to the port city of Livorno for a public viewing so fans can pay their final respects.

Wednesday, January 30th, 2013Boston Bruins goalie Tim Thomas could be on the move, as general manager Peter Chiarelli told reporters on Friday that he has waived his no-trade clause 10 days ago. Justin Smith Womens Jersey . Chiarelli and Thomas confirmed last month that the Stanley Cup-winning netminder was not playing in 2012-13. Thomas has one year left on his current deal, which carries a $5 million cap hit for the 2012-13 season. The no-movement clause that is a part of the deal expires July 1.

Michael Crabtree Super Bowl Jersey . Stothers, the coach of the WHLs Moose Jaw Warriors, expects his star defenceman to depart relatively soon. MONTREAL — Jean Pascal needed only one hand to score an impressive victory in his return to the boxing ring after a 19-month layoff. The Montreal light heavyweight (27-2) used his right hand exclusively from early on in the 10-round bout on Friday night to score a unanimous decision over Aleksy Kuziemski (23-5) at the Bell Centre. Pascal said he hurt his left shoulder in the second round, and threw only rights from the fourth round on, but still managed to knock his 35-year-old Polish opponent down in the sixth and 10th rounds. “I didnt give my best performance, but I did the best I could,” said Pascal, who had not fought since May, 2011, when he lost the WBC title to veteran Bernard Hopkins. “I only had one hand. “Im proud of myself. I hope that people understand.” It got worse for the right hander in the final round, when he also injured his right hand, but he danced away from Kuziemski in the final minute despite booing from some in the crowd of 6,100 who wanted to see a knockout. “I knew I was ahead on the scorecards, but Im a crowd-pleaser and I wanted the knockout,” he said. “But give him credit. Hes a tough guy.” Two ringside judges scored it 98-90 and the other had it 100-88 for the 30-year-old Pascal. The Canadian Press scored it 97-91. Promoter Yvon Michel said Pascal will undergo an MRI exam on Sunday to determine the extent of his injuries. The results will determine whether he will be healthy enough to take part in a scheduled title fight on March 23 on the HBO specialty channel against (Bad) Chad Dawson, who took the championship belt from Hopkins in April. Pascal took time off to get over his loss on points to then-45-year-old Hopkins, then had to pull out of two scheduled bouts due to shoulder and hand injuries. It was the longest layoff of his career. “Its disappointing, but I dont think Im a fragile athlete,” he said. Trainer Marc Ramsay said the shoulder made for anxious moments in Pascals corner because he couldnt follow his game plan with only one arm. “But we saw he was still winning the rounds,” said Ramsay. “He used his legs and tried to surprise him. “Sometimes he faked with the left. Everyone stayed calm and he was still able to dominate. Colin Kaepernick Red Jersey. .” Pascal won the WBC title in 2009 and defended it four times, including an 11-round win over Dawson and a draw in his first meeting with Hopkins in December 2010. He had also fought one-handed, that time with the left, in a title defence against Adrian Diaconu. In the co-feature, David Lemieux (28-2) scored his third straight victory in under two rounds as the Montreal middleweight backed Russian Albert Ayrapetyan into a corner and knocked him out with a left-right combination early in round two of their scheduled 10-rounder. Ayrapetyan was down twice in the opening round as well. The free-swinging Lemieux is scheduled to fight for the minor NABF and NABO titles on Feb. 8 at the Bell Centre against Jose Miguel Torres (26-5) of Colombia. Michel called it “the best performance Ive ever seen from David Lemieux,” because the 23-year-old showed improved technique and patience without giving up any power in his punches. It was only the second time Ayrapetyan was stopped before the limit in a fight since he lost in 2005 to Sergio Martinez, the current WBC middleweight champion. On the undercard, Eleider Alvarez (11-0), a Colombia native considered a promising light heavyweight prospect, dominated every round but it went to the eighth before he knocked Englishman Danny (Big Mac) McIntosh (13-4) down and out to retain the minor NABO title. Super featherweight Logan McGuinness (19-0-1), the minor NABA champion from Orangeville, Ont., lost his first four rounds but turned his bout around with a knockdown from a body shot in the fifth and went on to a 10-round decision over Carlos Manuel Reyes (23-2-1) of the Dominican Republic. Kevin Bizier (19-0) was all over Doel Carrasquillo (16-23-1) for eight rounds but the Quebec City middleweight wasnt able to put away the clowning American. He got the unanimous decision. There were three Hungarians on the undercard and all lost in a total of nine minutes 10 seconds. Featherweight Marc (Gwapo) Pagcaliwangan (2-0) of London, Ont., heavyweight Oscar Rivas (12-0) of Montreal, who scored first round knockouts, and light heavyweight Andrew Gardiner (6-0) of Ottawa were the winners. ‘ ‘ ‘

Happ said he tried not to concern himself about what pitching counterpart Joe Saunders was doing on the mound. That proved impossible, as Saunders put in a dominating performance. He went five innings without allowing a base runner and surrendered just three hits as the Baltimore Orioles blanked the Blue Jays 4-0 Monday. “You try not to think about it but when youre out there you kind of know,” Happ said. “You just want to give us the best chance you can but sometimes you try to do a little too much and be a little too fine. But I tried to stay aggressive. Saunders perfect game bid ended with two out in the sixth inning when Adeiny Hechavarria singled to centre. By then the Orioles had control of the game. “You try to keep making pitches, you try not to think about it out there,” Saunders said. “I just hung a changeup to the nine-hole hitter.” Saunders (7-11) held the Blue Jays to three hits and two walks in 6 1/3 innings in his second start for the Orioles since they traded right-hander Matt Lindstrom to Arizona for him on Aug. 26. He lost his first start for the Orioles 8-1 to the Chicago White Sox on Aug. 29, allowing 10 hits and seven runs (six earned). “Today he settled in a little bit more,” Orioles catcher Matt Wieters said. “He was definitely in control the whole game and was able to mix in different off-speed pitches.” Saunders pitching and two runs batted in by J.J. Hardy gave the Orioles (75-59) their 20th victory their past 28 games. They are second in the American League East and have moved to within one game of the first-place New York Yankees, who lost 4-3 to Tampa Bay. The Blue Jays (60-74) are last in the division. “When I got traded over here they had a great thing going,” Saunders said. “You just want to come over here and contribute as much as you can. You dont want to mess it up and get blown up a lot.” Happ (10-11) stayed aggressive enough to strike out nine batters in five-plus innings. He allowed six hits and three runs (two earned) in dropping to 3-2 since joining the Blue Jays from Houston in a July 20 trade. “Their guy threw the ball real well,” Happ said. “I was trying to be pretty selective in the pitches I threw to keep us in the game as best as I could. They chased me out of there quicker than I would have liked.” The Orioles scored a run in the second on aa sacrifice bunt by Nate McLouth. Frank Gore Black Jersey. It scored Manny Machado who wound up on third after his fly ball down the right-field line eluded a sliding catch attempt by Moises Sierra who lost sight of the ball in the sun. Sierra was charged with an error. Happ allowed four consecutive hits and two runs to open the fifth before striking out the next three batters as the Orioles took a 3-0 lead. Robert Andino led off with a single and scored on a double to left by Nick Markakis. Hardy doubled for another run and stopped at third on a single by Adam Jones. “A long fifth inning, a 36-37 pitch inning, that seemed to take a lot out of him,” Jays manager John Farrell said. “They were able to manufacture a couple of runs but he made a number of key pitches in that inning to prevent a big inning.” Brad Lincoln replaced Happ after Machado led off the sixth with a double. Lew Ford walked and Andino sacrificed the runners to second and third. Markakis walked and Hardy bounced into a double play to end the inning. “I thought when he come for the sixth after the double to McLouth it was pretty evident the fifth inning had taken its toll,” Farrell said. Luis Ayala replaced Saunders with the bases loaded in the seventh and ended the inning on a strikeout of Sierra and a fly out by Jeff Mathis. “He had some sink action to his fastball,” Farrell said. “We made a lot of early outs particularly in those early and mid innings. He threw a changeup to right-handers to slow them down. But we didnt put many good swings on some pitches and he stayed out of the middle of the plate for the most part.” The Orioles scored a run in the eighth against left-hander Brett Cecil, recalled from triple-A Las Vegas. Cecil hit McLouth with a pitch to start the inning, walked Andino with one out and allowed Hardys run-scoring single with two out. Notes: Attendance at Rogers Centre was 17,220…..Catcher J.P. Arencibia (fractured right hand) was 1-for-5 with a double as designated hitter for single-A Dunedin on Sunday in the first game of his rehabilitation assignment.

Arencibia is expected to rejoin the Blue Jays next week. …Toronto will start Carlos Villanueva (7-4, 3.10 earned-run average) on Tuesday against Baltimore left-hander Zach Britton (4-1, 4.80 ERA). ‘ ‘ ‘
Toronto Blue Jays general manager Alex Anthopoulos
Wednesday, January 30th, 2013TORONTO — Its the toughest loss of Dallas Eakins coaching career. Tarell Brown Jersey . Mike Kostka scored a fluke goal in overtime as the Norfolk Admirals defeated the Toronto Marlies 1-0 in American Hockey League championship final action on Thursday. Kostka wristed a shot from centre on a dump-in 9:09 into overtime that deflected off a stanchion along the glass into the empty Marlies net. The Admirals now lead the series 3-0 after taking Games 1 and 2 last week in Norfolk, Va. “I would rather someone take a pair of steel-toed boots and hit me in a delicate region than to lose a hockey game like that,” Eakins said. “That is a tough way to lose in the playoffs — off a stanchion — after our boys battled so hard. “I can never recall in any kind of league final a puck going in like that.” It was such a fluke goal that many of the players and coaches didnt see it go in. “I was about to vent on something to (assistant coach) Steve Thomas,” said Admirals head coach Jon Cooper. “I heard our fans and then I saw Kostka backing up and it was just disbelief. “Im sick to my stomach for Scrivens. That was a tough break for the kid. But Id rather obviously go in our favour instead of theirs. In saying that…I thought we actually earned it.” Scrivens went out behind the goal to play the puck, lost it along the glass and only picked it up just as it went in the net. “Stuff happens — thats the only explanation,” he said. “It sucks to lose a game like that. But thats a one in a million thing. If you watch the replay, the puck was in almost before it hit that stanchion. “I was just hoping it wouldnt go in, but it looked like it even curled around the post to go in.” The goal wasnt without controversy, however. “Its a real interesting one for the referees, too,” Eakins said. “The puck comes out (of the zone). Then its rimmed in and theres a guy thats offside about eight to 10 feet. The puck hits the stanchion, but now hes onside and the puck goes in your net. “Its a fairly grey area. Its something Ive never seen and Im sure the referees have never seen, either.” Dustin Tokarski stopped 21 shots for his third shutout and 11th win of the post-season. Scrivens made 30 saves in defeat. After the first period, when Toronto outshot Norfolk 11-6, the Admirals took control of the game and outshot the Marlies 25-10 the rest of the way. “That first period, we did lay an egg,” said Norfolk centre Cory Conacher. “We knew what we were in for and we were lucky to get out of that period 0-0.” The Admirals thought theyd opened the scoring late in the second period. Tyler Johnson ripped a slapshot from the top of left circle and it appeared to beat Scrivens just inside the post, but the referee waved the goal off immediately. “It looked in to us,” Cooper said. “I thought it was in, Stumpy (Tampa Bay Lightning player development consultant Steve Thomas) thought it was in. But in saying that, in the one video feed we had, it didnt appear to go in. I was shocked.” Toronto went 0-for-6 on the power play is now 1-for-21 in the series. “Theyre killing penalties as well as we are right now,” Eakins said. “Its tough for both teams to score on the power play right now.” Toronto will try to stave off elimination in Game 4 on Saturday afternoon, while Norfolk has a chance to win its first ever Calder Cup. “Everyone on this team deserves everything were getting,” Conacher said. “Weve worked so hard for this all year…But its not over yet.” Notes: Mike Zigomanis was back in the lineup after missing four games to injury, replacing Jay Rosehill….Nazem Kadri missed his fifth straight game to injury… The game marked the first professional hockey game ever played in Toronto in June….Announced attendance was 8,084.

Redskins S Jordan Bernstine hurt his right knee
Wednesday, January 30th, 2013FOXBOROUGH, Mass. Y.A. Tittle 49ers Jersey . — Will Smith is getting ready for the season as if he wasnt facing suspension for the first four games. Hes still getting sacks. The fourth-leading sacker in New Orleans history crunched Tom Brady from behind, forcing a fumble in the first quarter of the New England Patriots 7-6 exhibition win over the Saints on Thursday night. “No,” Smith said when asked if hes preparing any differently than if he had avoided punishment in his teams bounty scandal. “Preseasons the same. Got to work hard. Jobs always on the line, so got to go out and compete.” Once the regular season starts, interim coach Joe Vitt said, Smith, with 61 1-2 sacks in eight seasons, will be missed. “Youre going to miss anybody with the talent of Will Smith,” said Vitt, who faces his own suspension for the first six regular-season games. “Wills a heck of a player. Hes a heck of a leader.” The defence for the Saints (No. 9 in the AP Pro32) gave up just one touchdown, but the Patriots (No. 2) were better, allowing a pair of field goals in their exhibition opener. “We held them to six points, so thats always good,” said safety Patrick Chung, who had one of the Patriots two interceptions. “Its always feels good to get an interception. Its just preseason but youve still got to make plays.” John Kasay had a chance to give the Saints the lead, but his 41-yard field goal attempt went wide to the right with 3:07 left. The game followed two days of joint practices between the teams and was the first for the Patriots since their 21-17 loss in the Super Bowl to the New York Giants. Brady left after two series and 15 plays — plus two holding penalties against new left tackle Nate Solder — and banged his helmet on the ground in anger when he returned to the bench. He finished with four completions in seven attempts for 30 yards and the 11-yard sack from which he got up slowly on his first possession. Smith came around the left tackle position filled by Solder after Matt Light retired. “Im just getting more comfortable there,” said Solder, a first-round draft pick last year. “A lot of us (on the offensive line) are still young. It takes time to get the timing down.” New Orleans quarterback Drew Brees also played two series, lasting just six plays. He was 1 of 4 for 4 yards in his second exhibition game. In last Sundays 17-10 win over the Arizona Cardinals in the Hall of Fame game, Brees was 4 for 5 for 41 yards on his only drive, resulting in a touchdown. “I am not disappointed one bit with the first unit offence,” Vitt said. “We treated last week sort of like a scrimmage … and so this was our first preseason game.” Second-year running back Shane Vereen was a bright spot for the Patriots as he and Stevan Ridley compete for playing time as replacements for BenJarvus Green-Ellis, who signed with Cincinnati. On the first series of the third quarter, Vereen gained 62 yards on seven carries and caught a 10-yard pass. The drive covered 97 yards, capped by Brian Hoyers 3-yard scoring pass to Britt Davis, a long shot to make the team at the crowded wide receiver position. Vereen rushed for only 57 yards all last season when injuries limited him to five games and 15 rushes. “I was excited because its been so long since I played, with the injuries and everything,” he said. “It felt good to be out there running.” Another Patriots injury could be more serious. Linebacker Dane Fletcher, who started five games last season, was hurt covering a punt in the first quarter. NFL Network reported he tore an anterior cruciate ligament, but there was no official word from the Patriots. “Hes really helped me a lot,” said veteran linebacker Bobby Carpenter, in his first season with New England. “Hopefully, hell be all right.” Replacement officials had a relatively uneventful game. They did call an offside penalty on a punt that allowed the Patriots to continue their first series. The Saints were penalized later for running into punter Zoltan Mesko, although the Patriots again failed to capitalize and punted again. The Saints only points came on a 46-yard field goal by Kasay on the possession after Curtis Lofton recovered Bradys fumble, and a 27-yarder by Garrett Hartley on the first play of the fourth quarter. But New Orleans also played pretty good defence, starting with Smiths strip sack. “We knew going into the game that they were just going to give us basic protection, so we just wanted to get a good rush, a four-man rush,” he said. “Weve been working on it all camp. Got a good angle on him and got him down.” Notes: The Saints gained 280 yards, one more than the Patriots. … Courtney Roby had five receptions for New Orleans.

NEW ORLEANS — Robert Griffin III lifted his head from the Superdome turf so he could witness the fruits of his sacrifice, then raised both arms in the air as he began to sit up. Although the Redskins rookie can scramble with the best of them, he decided against dancing away from blitzing Saints safety Malcolm Jenkins, electing instead to wait until the moment before impact to deliver the throw he was supposed to make. The result was an 88-yard connection with Pierre Garcon that gave Griffin his first NFL touchdown and set Washington on the path to a season-opening 40-32 upset of New Orleans on Sunday. Making a slew of clutch plays, Griffin sustained drives and helped Washington dominate time of possession, 39:10 to 20:50. Well-rested Redskins defenders liked what they saw. “He lived up to all of the hype. Hes as good as advertised,” Washington linebacker Ryan Kerrigan said. “I mean, how many great plays did he make out there?” Quite a few. Griffin completed his first eight passes and finished 19 of 26 with two touchdowns, no interceptions and a passer rating of 139.9. He also scrambled for 42 yards. The ball Griffin threw for his first TD was given to him after the game, and the 2011 Heisman Trophy winner from Baylor cradled it while talking about what it meant to him to play so well in his NFL debut and have Saints quarterback Drew Brees congratulate him after the game. “You can win a high school state championship and a bowl game in college, but to play in the NFL, the pinnacle of it all, and win your first game against a Hall of Famer in Drew Brees, its at the top,” Griffin said. “After the game, (Brees) told me he was proud of me. Thats big for him to say after he just lost the game.” New Orleans hoped to open the season with a defiant show of force in the wake of the bounty scandal that overshadowed its off-season. The Saints also got a boost Friday when a three-member appeals panel reinstated defensive end Will Smith and linebacker Jon Vilma, who had been suspended for their roles in the Saints alleged pay-for-pain bounty program. Smith started, while Vilma, deemed unfit to play after off-season knee surgery, received a rousing ovation when he walked onto the field to lead the Saints traditional pregame “Who-dat” chant. Instead of riding that emotional high, the Saints spent much of the game trying to keep up with a Redskins offence powered by youth. Griffins second touchdownn pass went for 5 yards to receiver Aldrick Robinson, a second-year pro making his NFL regular-season debut. Kyle Williams Jersey. Rookie Alfred Morris rushed for 96 yards and two touchdowns, the first set up by safety Roman Harpers pass interference penalty in the end zone and the second set up by DeJon Gomes fourth-quarter interception, which he returned to the 4-yard line. Brees quickly dismissed the idea that disruptions from the bounty probe, which resulted in a season-long suspension for coach and offensive mastermind Sean Payton, was to blame for New Orleans shaky start. “Not at all. Its the NFL. You better bring it every week,” Brees said. “We knew the type of team they were. We knew the type of defence they were. They just came in and played better than we did, made fewer mistakes than we did, made more plays than we did.” In fact, Brees expectations for the rest of the season were undiminished. “We lost the first game of the year last year and finished 13-3,” Brees said. “So theres no doubt that we can do it.” Brees still finished with 339 yards and three touchdowns, including scoring passes of 33 yards to Lance Moore and 20 yards to Jimmy Graham and 2 yards to Darren Sproles. The Saints also scored a less conventional TD when Martez Wilson blocked Sav Roccas punt deep in Redskins territory and Courtney Roby scooped up the ball to make it 20-14 shortly before halftime. Sproles score with 2:25 left in the game pulled the Saints back within a TD and 2-point conversion, and the Saints got the ball one last time with 22 second to go, but Brees desperation pass was intercepted by Reed Doughty near the Redskins goal line as time ran out. That marked the second interception for Brees, who in 2011 completed a single-season record 71.2 per cent of his passes, but managed to hit on only 46 per cent (24 of 52) against Washington. “That makes you angry,” Brees said, raising his eyebrows and shaking his head. “Were better than that and were going to be better than that.” NOTES: Saints CB Johnny Patrick hurt his right leg breaking up a pass in the second quarter. … WR Devery Henderson left the game in the second half after taking a shot to the head. … Saints LB Scott Shanle left the game with an unspecified leg injury. … Garcon went out with a right foot injury. … Redskins S Jordan Bernstine hurt his right knee on kick coverage. ‘ ‘ ‘

Jean Seguras RBI groundout in the seventh increased
Wednesday, January 30th, 2013DENVER — Giancarlo Stanton is breaking records at Coors Field. Torrey Smith Jersey . He also might be breaking windshields. Stanton homered for the sixth straight game at Coors Field and the Miami Marlins held on to beat the Colorado Rockies 6-5 Saturday night. Nathan Eovaldi pitched effectively into the seventh inning and Bryan Petersen had three hits for the Marlins. Jose Reyes and Gorkys Hernandez added two hits each. The Marlins said Stanton became the first player in major league history to homer in his first six games in a particular park, according to information provided to the team by the Elias Sports Bureau. “I thought I was just going for here,” Stanton said of the record. “Thats pretty cool. Anytime you do something no ones ever done in the big leagues its something pretty cool.” His drive Saturday travelled an estimated 448 feet, and combined with Fridays shot to centre he has covered approximately 920 feet on his last two homers at Coors Field. He tied the game Friday with his 474-foot homer. He capped a four-run first inning Saturday with a three-run shot onto the concourse in left field. It bounced into the Rockies players parking lot, which brought up the possibility of his blast damaging a car. “Hopefully not, but if there is Im not paying for it,” he said. It was Stantons 24th of the season gave the Marlins a 4-0 lead against Tyler Chatwood (3-3). Reyes made it 6-0 in the second with a two-run triple down the left-field line. “The two big pitches I messed up on were the two to Reyes,” Chatwood said. “(The one to Stanton) was actually a good pitch and off the plate. He put a pretty good swing on it.” Stanton was ready for an inside pitch, and when he saw the 95 mph fastball, he jumped on it. “I knew he was going to come in to get the double play or not let me get extended with guys on first and second and less than two outs,” he said. “He came up and in first pitch, so I figured he was going to repeat it.” Eovaldi (4-8) didnt give up a hit until Michael Cuddyers single in the fourth. He allowed one run on six hits, walked four and struck out three in 6 2-3 innings. He left after giving up a two-out single to Rutledge and a walk to Fowler. Chad Gaudin came on and got Cuddyer to ground out to end the seventh. It was Eovaldis longest outing since May 29 when he was with the Los Angeles Dodgers. “This kid only needs to throw strikes,” Miami manager Ozzie Guillen said. “Hes got a great arm. Hes got a good idea of what he wants to do. Its a process.” He also got some defensive help when Stanton made a diving catch on Jordan Pachecos liner into right to save a run. “I paused, took maybe a half-step in. I didnt get the best read on it but I tracked it down and snagged it,” he said. “Its what helps win games, the little things.” Tyler Colvin had three hits and three RBIs while Josh Rutledge and Dexter Fowler added two hits apiece for the Rockies. Colorado chipped away and nearly came all the way back. Colvin hit an RBI double in the fourth before Pacheco had an RBI double and Chris Nelson a sacrifice fly in the eighth to make it 6-3. Colorado cut it to one on Colvins two-run single in the ninth before Steve Cishek got Pacheco to ground out for his ninth save. “I kick myself for the seventh when Wilin (Rosario) led off with a double and I didnt do my job,” Colvin said. “Were always going to battle back.” Cuddyer left the game in the eighth after aggravating his right oblique, an injury that cost him 11 games earlier this month. “Its most likely a DL situation,” Rockies manager Jim Tracy said. Chatwood allowed six runs and nine hits in four innings. NOTES: The Rockies placed OF Carlos Gonzalez on the bereavement list due to the death of his grandfather in Venezuela. Colorado recalled OF Charlie Blackmon from Triple-A to fill the roster spot. … Rockies RHP Jhoulys Chacin (pectoral nerve irritation) is expected to start against the Mets in New York on Tuesday. … After the game the Marlins optioned OF Scott Cousins and designated Gil Velazquez for assignment. They will activate OF Emilio Bonifacio and INF Donnie Murphy from the disabled list Sunday to fill the roster spots. … Marlins RHP Josh Johnson (7-9) is scheduled to face LHP Drew Pomeranz (1-7) in Sundays series finale.

MILWAUKEE — Despite watching his team lose its third straight game on Tuesday night, Cincinnati Reds manager Dusty Baker was feeling confident it was only a temporary setback for his NL Central-leading team. Thats because the Reds ran into a hot pitcher in Mike Fiers of the Milwaukee Brewers and Baker knew there was not much his hitters could do against him. Fiers took a perfect game into the seventh inning to lead the Brewers to a 3-1 win over the Reds. The Reds have lost three straight for the first time since July 2-5, but still lead the NL Central by 3 1-2 games over second-place Pittsburgh. “The problem was their pitcher,” Baker said. “He pitched a great game. Thats one of the best games pitched against us in a long time.” Baker said he was confident his team could quickly turn it around. Before its current losing streak, the Reds had won 22 of 25 games. “Well get it together and make another nice run,” he said. Johnny Cueto (14-6) pitched seven innings for the Reds, giving up three runs and six hits while striking out nine. He was trying to become the first NL pitcher to reach 15 wins this season. “Youve got to give him (Fiers) credit,” Cueto said through an interpreter. “I pitched well, but it went in his favour tonight.” Fiers (6-4) retired the first 18 batters before Zack Cozart doubled to left-centre leading off the seventh. He advanced to third on a fly ball and scored on Brandon Phillips sacrifice fly. “The pitch I hit was a cutter,” Cozart said. “He had his stuff working tonight. Just when you thought youd get a fastball, hed throw you something else.” The only other hits Fiers gave up were eighth-inning singles to Xavier Paul and Ryan Hanigan. The right-hander struck out pinch-hitter Ryan Ludwick to get out of the inning and left the field to a standing ovation. Fiers said he was aware he was throwing a no-hitter, but stayed focus as his team was only leading by two runs at the time. “Every start I go out there I dont want to give up a hit, but when it got into the sixth and seventh inning, thoughts came into my mind even more,” he said. “Im just trying to put zeroes on the board, no matter if they get 10 hits or zero hits. I just tried to keep my cool and not think about it.” The Brewers grabbed a 2-0 lead in the first inning on Aramis Ramirezs 15th home run, a 425-foot shot to the Milwaukee bullpen in left-centre. It was the second consecutive game in which Ramirez hit a home run against the Reds. Jean Seguras RBI groundout in the seventh increased the lead to 3-1. It was Seguras first career RBI. Milwaukee manager Ron Roenicke has seen enough of what pitcher Mike Fiers has done for his team this season that he is ready to start promoting him for NL Rookie of the Year. Fiers was very impressive again Tuesday night as he took a perfect game into the seventh inning and led the Brewers to a 3-1 victory over the Cincinnati Reds. Fiers (6-4) retired the first 18 batters before Zack Cozart doubled to left-centre leading off the seventh. He advanced to third on a fly ball and scored on Brandon Phillips sacrifice flyy. Jacoby Jones Elite Jersey. The only other hits Fiers gave up were eighth-inning singles to Xavier Paul and Ryan Hanigan. The right-hander struck out pinch-hitter Ryan Ludwick to get out of the inning and left the field to a standing ovation. “He pitched an outstanding ball game,” Roenicke said. “Absolutely, he has to be put in that conversation (for Rookie of the Year). Hes been baffling hitters. And not just average hitters, hes been doing it against some very strong lineups.” Fiers said he was aware he was throwing a no-hitter, but stayed focus as his team was only leading by two runs at the time. “Every start I go out there I dont want to give up a hit, but when it got into the sixth and seventh inning, thoughts came into my mind even more,” he said. “Im just trying to put zeroes on the board, no matter if they get 10 hits or zero hits. I just tried to keep my cool and not think about it.” Fiers said he thought he threw a good pitch to Cozart, but the Reds shortstop went out and got the pitch. “He got the barrel on it and he hit it in a good spot,” he said. “I felt great out there.” Fiers has been terrific since he was called up from Triple-A Nashville on May 29. He hasnt allowed more than two runs in any of his last nine starts, going 5-2 with a 1.03 ERA and racking up 61 strikeouts in 61 innings. Roenicke said it was time for everyone to realize that Fiers could pitch in the major leagues. “I think hes shown he can pitch,” he said. “Hes a battler. He baffles guys with all the different stuff he throws.” Jim Henderson, from Calgary, pitched a scoreless ninth for his first career save. It was Milwaukees second consecutive win over the NL Central leaders and its fifth straight victory at home. The Reds have lost three straight for the first time since July 2-5. They remained 3 1-2 games ahead of second-place Pittsburgh. Reds manager Dusty Baker said the problem for Cincinnati was Fiers. “Thats one of the best games pitched against us in a long time,” Baker said. “Theres not a lot we could do. Hes very deceptive with that Tim Lincecum-like delivery.” Johnny Cueto (14-6) pitched seven innings for the Reds, giving up three runs and six hits while striking out nine. He was trying to become the first NL pitcher to reach 15 wins this season. The Brewers grabbed a 2-0 lead in the first inning on Aramis Ramirezs 15th home run, a 425-foot shot to the Milwaukee bullpen in left-centre. It was the second consecutive game in which Ramirez homered against the Reds. Jean Seguras RBI groundout in the seventh increased the lead to 3-1. It was Seguras first career RBI. NOTES: Baker said 1B Joey Votto would not be activated from the DL on the teams current seven-game road trip, which ends Sunday in Chicago. Votto had arthroscopic surgery on his left knee on July 17. … Brewers RHP Shaun Marcum, on the DL since June 15 with right elbow tightness, will make a rehabilitation start Thursday with Class-A Wisconsin. … The series concludes Wednesday when the Reds send Mat Latos (10-3) to the mound against Randy Wolf (3-8). ‘ ‘ ‘
Calgary Stampeders SB Nik Lewis wasted little time starting
Wednesday, January 30th, 2013Calgary Stampeders SB Nik Lewis wasted little time starting the war or words ahead of Sundays Western Final, but hes unlikely to find a sparring partner with the BC Lions. Ray Rice Super Bowl Jersey . Coming on the heels of Calgarys wild Western Semi-Final win over the Saskatchewan Roughriders, Lewis said the Lions were hoping Saskatchewan would win so they wouldnt have to face the Stamps in the Western Final, according to a story in the Calgary Herald. But on Monday, the Lions werent biting, saying instead it was just a case of Nik being Nik. “Everybody knows what Nik Lewis is. And thats what he is,” said veteran SB Geroy Simon. “He talks trash, he runs his mouth, but in the end they still have to come here and play.” “Thats Nik,” echoed QB Travis Lulay. “I can tell you, asking the guys around the locker room, thats not the case. We understand this is the Western Finals; regardless of who were playing, were going to have to outplay that opponent on game day. “Calgarys been hot; theyre playing good football, so were going to have to play a good one to win. But that doesnt change if Saskatchewan had been the winner.” The week ahead, the Lions say their focus is on executing as a team, not worrying about what their opponents are saying. “I dont go against Nik Lewis. All I can worry about is our guys on offence,” said SB Arland Bruce, who is expected to suit up on Sunday after missing the last five games due to concussion. “We have to just put up points and we cant focus on guys on the other team.” “We match up well with them,” said Simon. “Its not about Calgary, its about us.

it was a home game against Cleveland
Wednesday, January 30th, 2013Heading into Week Three of the NFL season, the field has been leveled. Randy Moss Womens Jersey . 20 teams are 1-1, set to either move forward or fall below .500 this week. Not only that, there are a couple of matchups involving four of the six 2-0 teams in the league so, in all likelihood, more teams will suffer their first losses leaving, at most, four unbeaten teams at the end of the week. There are six winless teams, with only Kansas City and New Orleans going head-to-head. The Saints are a surprise at 0-2, but if they come up short at home against Kansas City, then this season will have gone right off the rails. Nothing like having expectations crushed before the season reaches October. A look at this weeks matchups. N.Y. GIANTS (+2) at CAROLINA After a stirring comeback in Week Two, the Giants come into Thursday night shorthanded, missing RB Ahmad Bradshaw, WR Hakeem Nicks and RT David Diehl, so that poses some problems. Andre Brown was productive filling in for Bradshaw last week, so hell likely get the bulk of the carries this week, with an opportunity for David Wilson to see some action too. No matter, that duo isnt as potent as the Panthers running game, led by DeAngelo Williams and Jonathan Stewart, but the greater concern for the Giants could be that Nicks absence will allow the Panthers to focus their coverage on Victor Cruz, the player with the most targets (28) through two weeks. With Cruz facing double coverage, the G-Men will need other receivers to rise to the occasion, whether thats tight end Martellus Bennett or young wideouts Ramses Barden or Rueben Randle (Domenik Hixon is also out for the Giants), someone will have to come up with a big game. From Carolinas perspective, they had a secondary receiver rise up last week. Brandon LaFell had six catches for 90 yards in the win over New Orleans, which makes Carolina much more dangerous because the Giants might be able to attack the running game, but Cam Newton can exploit a mediocre Giants secondary with even a little pass protection. ST. LOUIS (+7.5) at CHICAGO This week could be a bounceback for both the Rams and Bears. After putting up 31 points against the Redskins, with QB Sam Bradford passing for 310 yards and WR Danny Amendola accumulating 160 yards through the air, St. Louis goes to Chicago to face a strong Bears defence, which includes corners Tim Jennings, Charles Tillman and Kelvin Hayden. If its more difficult for the Rams to pass this week, then theyll need the running game and that is a question mark with Steven Jackson nursing a groin injury that caused him to leave last weeks game. Daryl Richardson and rookie Isaiah Pead can fill in for Jackson, but they dont have the track record of productivity like Jackson. From the Bears perspective, they had a miserable game at Green Bay last week, with QB Jay Cutler pouting his way through the loss, complaining to linemen about lack of protection and the Rams will hope that defensive ends Chris Long and Robert Quinn might be able to throw Cutler off his game with the pass rush this week. Should Cutler have the time to throw, he has to get WR Brandon Marshall more involved — after 15 targets in Week One, Marshall was targeted just five times at Green Bay — and the Rams will have corners Cortland Finnegan and Janoris Jenkins providing aggressive coverage. If the Rams manage to limit Cutler and Marshall, the focus will be on running back Michael Bush, who takes on the primary ball-carrier role with Matt Forte out. Bush has seven career 100-yard rushing games, including three last season, so hes more capable than the standard backup, but this game could end up being decided by which teams backup runner can grind out yards. BUFFALO (-3) at CLEVELAND After laying an egg in Week One, both teams were much better in Week Two. The Bills, who at least won handily in Week Two, figure to keep RB C.J. Spiller as the featured part of their offence. These things happen when you lead the league in yards from scrimmage (364) after a couple of weeks. Slowing down Spiller will be a team effort, but expect Browns MLB DQwell Jackson, who had 156 total tackles last season and has three sacks and two picks already this season, to be front and centre for Cleveland. Clevelands pass defence isnt as strong without suspended CB Joe Haden, but forcing the Bills to air it out to win is a reasonable plan of attack, considering how much QB Ryan Fitzpatrick has struggled. After getting destroyed in Week One, the Browns showed up in Cincinnati last week, with QB Brandon Weeden passing for 322 yards and RB Trent Richardson gaining 145 yards from scrimmage. The Bills defence was more effective against Kansas City than the final score indicated — the Chiefs scored a couple of fourth-quarter touchdowns when the outcome had been decided — so Richardson may not be running free but, as expected coming into the season, hes the Browns best chance to pull off the upset. TAMPA BAY (+8) at DALLAS For the first six-and-a-half quarters of the season, Tampa Bays defence was a punishing and effective group, but then they allowed 328 yards from the midpoint of the third quarter through the end of the game against the Giants last week, coughing up a 14-point lead in the process. Because Eli Manning passed for 510 yards against the Bucs last week, the thinking is that the Cowboys should be able to throw and take advantage of the Tampa Bay secondary, but the group isnt that bad. Dallas has weapons and may have an edge with mismatches in multiple-receiver sets, but Dallas likely needs a strong rushing game from RB DeMarco Murray to open up the passing attack. Dallas defence was run on by Marshawn Lynch in Seattle last week, so expect Tampa Bay rookie Doug Martin to get plenty of work as the Bucs have been relatively conservative offensively, passing 52 times through two games, and Dallas coverage, particularly from cornerbacks Brandon Carr and Morris Claiborne, is a strength of their defence. JACKSONVILLE (+3) at INDIANAPOLIS After getting destroyed by Houston last week, the Jaguars — especially second-year QB Blaine Gabbert — should be thankful to have an easier defence to face this week, but Jacksonville also has to deal with a Colts passing attack that has been quite effective. With WR Donnie Avery adding a deep threat across from Reggie Wayne and rookie TE Coby Fleener a reliable option, rookie QB Andrew Luck has thrown for 533 yards in two games and could put pressure on a Jaguars secondary lacking playmakers. N.Y. JETS (-2.5) at MIAMI After scoring 48 points in Week One, the Jets offence was stifled in Pittsburgh last week and theyll have to be sharp against a Miami defence that is pretty strong, particularly in the front seven, which could put more pressure on Jets QB Mark Sanchez to throw downfield. Miamis passing game is no thing of beauty either, with rookie Ryan Tannehill still learning the ropes and figuring out who will be his top receivers. Last week, Brian Hartline was the guy, but the Dolphins attack has been driven by RB Reggie Bush, who has accrued 312 yards from scrimmage. Can the Jets slow him down, or is this finally the superstar season that was expected of Bush when he was drafted second overall in 2006? SAN FRANCISCO (-7) at MINNESOTA Facing San Franciscos defence will be no walk in the park for the Vikings, who have some weapons in WR Percy Harvin and RB Adrian Peterson (for as much as hes used — AP has 33 carries through two games as he returns from knee surgery), but dealing with the 49ers defence is a daunting task for second-year QB Christian Ponder. Good for him if he can spread the ball around and find the right guys at the right time, but Aaron Rodgers and Matthew Stafford have struggled against the Niners this year already. Because their defence is so dominating, the Niners dont have to leave their comfort zone offensively. That means a solid running game and Alex Smith hooking up with TE Vernon Davis, including the wide receivers on occasion, to keep defences honest. The Vikings need DE Jared Allen to get in Smiths grille all game long, in the hopes the pressure might cause Smith to turn the ball over, something he hasnt done since Week 12 last season. KANSAS CITY (+9) at NEW ORLEANS Going up against the Saints porous defence does give the Chiefs a chance to put up some points this week. RB Jamaal Charles struggled against Buffalo, but the Chiefs can turn to Peyton Hillis or Shaun Draughn to pick up the rushing slack and Kansas Citys big receivers can always present matchup problems, but especially for a Saints secondary that has struggled early. As much as some might has expected the Saints to struggle after their offseason suspensions, its been stunning to see them give up 75 points to Washington and Carolina. Showing just the slightest hint of defensive competence could be enough to get them going in the right direction. DETROIT (-3.5) at TENNESSEE Neither team has been satisfied with its running game thus far, but there are differences. Detroit has received adequate production from Kevin Smith, who has 161 yards from scrimmage, but think they can do better and have second-year RB Mikel Leshoure coming off suspension this week to provide an alternative. If the ground game is solid, that ought to help the passing game and, judging by last weeks loss in San Francisco, QB Matthew Stafford could use a little help. Tennessees lack of rushing attack is more problematic because it rests in the hands of RB Chris Johnson behind an offensive line that has had problems creating holes. Johnson is getting hit in the backfield and hes not elusive or strong enough to compensate. If the Lions can keep the Titans running game locked down, then that forces second-year QB Jake Locker to win the game through the air. Maybe he get hot and connects with wideouts Kenny Britt, Kendall Wright or Nate Washington enough to march down the field, but it seems like a longshot if the Titans are hoping that their passing game will provide more than Detroits. CINCINNATI (+3) at WASHINGTON The Bengals rebounded in Week Two, but it was a home game against Cleveland, not quite the same as Week Ones visit to Baltimore. To the Bengals credit, though, they got more receivers involved against Cleveland, with Armon Binns, Brandon Tate and Andrew Hawkins all contributing and helping to ease the pressure on emerging star A.J. Green. Washingtons defence lost a couple of starters in its front seven — DT Adam Carriker and OLB Brian Orakpo — so it could be tough to shut down a balanced Bengals attack, and there still remains some question on the health of WR Pierre Garcon, who has missed seven of eight quarters this season with a foot injury. If Garcon isnt ready to go this week, that means star rookie QB Robert Griffin III will be looking more to wide receivers Santana Moss, Aldrick Robinson and Leonard Hankerson in the passing game and if Brandon Weeden can pass for 322 yards against the Bengals, what might RGIII do if the Redskins have to match the Bengals score for score? PHILADELPHIA (-3.5) at ARIZONA Somewhat surprisingly, these are two undefeated teams taking the field. The Eagles have a pair of one-point wins and looked a lot better coming back to win against Baltimore than they did in Week One at Cleveland. The Eagles have the talent, if wide receivers Jeremy Maclin and DeSean Jackson are healthy enough, to put pressure on the Cardinals defence. While Arizonas defence has been quietly effective — not as quietly after upsetting the Patriots last week — and they will need their defence to force turnovers, they face challenges offensively. The running game has struggled, with both Beanie Wells and Ryan Williams failing to gain traction early. Worse, the one sure thing in the passing game, WR Larry Fitzgerald, had one catch for four yards at New England. If the Eagles can prevent Fitzgerald from getting involved, and thats conceivable with Nnamdi Asomugha and Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie forming a strong tandem on the corners, then Arizona will have to rely on secondary options — WR Andre Roberts, TE Todd Heap — to move the ball and thats an unlikely route to success. ATLANTA (+3) at SAN DIEGO Another matchup of 2-0 teams, with the Falcons taking their increased passing attack to SoCal. While the Falcons have a wide receiver duo — Julio Jones and Roddy White — to put pressure on the Chargers, there are bigger issues if they cant get a more consistent ground attack established. Michael Turners role has decreased and hes averaging a meagre 2.6 yards per carry. Hes also coming off an arrest for DUI, so its not exactly the best of times for the ex-Charger to be returning to face his former team. As the Falcons running game has been a problem, the Chargers have also faced challenges in that regard, yet help could be on the way. While Curtis Brinkley, Jackie Battle and Ronnie Brown have taken turns filling for the first couple weeks, it appears that Ryan Mathews will be able to return from a broken collarbone suffered in the preseason. If Mathews and TE Antonio Gates, who both missed Week Twos win over Tennessee, return to action, San Diego will have enough weapons offensively to keep pace with the Falcons. HOUSTON (-1.5) at DENVER The (controversially) number-one ranked team in the TSN.ca Power Rankings gets their first good test of the season, visiting the Broncos in Denver, after a couple of easy wins against Miami and Jacksonville. After running a very conservative (ie. a lot of runs and short passes) offence, the Texans may be inclined to throw more often against a Denver defence that looked pretty good, despite allowing 27 points in their Monday night loss — the things that field position after turnovers can do to a team. The biggest issue for the Broncos, coming out of the Monday night loss at Atlanta, is the arm strength, or lack thereof, for Peyton Manning, who hasnt been able to complete one pass more than 20 yards down the field through the first two games. If the Broncos cant get the ball deep, that will allow the Texans to cheat on shorter routes. Maybe Manning has to pick his spots differently — going down the seam left his balls hanging in the midst of too much defensive traffic — but hell have to find a way to keep the Texans honest. Given all hes accomplished in the league, Manning may very well make adjustments that improve the Broncos passing game, but it wont come easily. PITTSBURGH (-4) at OAKLAND Even without OLB James Harrison and SS Troy Polamalu, the Steelers were a handful for the Jets last week, so they could be entirely capable of shutting down a Raiders offence that couldnt amount to much against Miami. Oakland has been a mess offensively. They gave the ball to RB Darren McFadden 28 times in the opener, then 13 times last week. Theres nothing wrong with picking other options in the offence, but if the Raiders arent going to use McFadden, they should be able to exploit their deep speed, with Darrius Heyward-Bey and Denarius Moore both capable of going vertical. The Steelers are still trying to figure out their own running game, as both Jonathan Dwyer and Isaac Redman were relatively ineffective last week, combining for 53 yards on 24 carries against the Jets, but the Raiders secondary should be hard-pressed to keep tabs on Steelers wideouts Mike Wallace, Antonio Brown and Emmanuel Sanders. NEW ENGLAND (+2.5) at BALTIMORE Even though both teams are 1-1, this is the game of the weekend, as the Patriots try to re-establish their offensive credentials, against a Ravens defence that can still bring it. Losing TE Aaron Hernandez for “a few weeks” is an issue, so the Patriots signed TE Kellen Winslow and WR Deion Branch to help with a passing attck that hasnt been as dominant so far this season. With Hernandez gone, also look for WR Wes Welker to resume a more prominent role in the Patriots passing attack. Baltimores offence is much more focused on passing this season, too, with RB Ray Rice getting just 26 carries through the first two games. TE Dennis Pitta has been a surprising focal point, catching 13 balls in the first two games, and the ability to move the ball with underneath routes opens up the deep game for wide receivers Torrey Smith and Jacoby Jones. GREEN BAY (-3.5) at SEATTLE If the Packers play in Seattle like they did at home against Chicago last Thursday, then Seahawks rookie QB Russell Wilson will be desperately trying to escape the clutches of OLB Clay Matthews, never mind attempting to throw down the field. Seattles defence is underrated in some circles, but could provide a test for Aaron Rodgers and the Packers passing offence. Since the Seahawks arent equipped to trade big plays with the Pack, they need RB Marshawn Lynch to grind out yards; basically, they need Lynch to be more productive than his Green Bay counterpart, Cedric Benson, in the hopes that a shorter game gives Seattle a better chance in front of their home crowd.
