11) Did anybody hear me promise on TV that Sunday nights Eagles-Giants game would be a dandy, and not like most of the duds served up on Thursdays? Well, I hope not, but then again, I hope so (if you know what I mean). Ryan Pressly Astros Jersey . The Eagles demolished the Giants 27-0 in a Sunday game truly fit for Thursday. 12) If hes destined to finish the season as the only pitcher in major league baseball whos as good in the playoffs as he was in the previous 162 games, can we please stop calling him Madison BAUMGARTNER? Its BUMGARNER. Or feel free to keep it simple and call him MADBUM. 13) Should an NHL players rookie status be affected by participation in the Stanley Cup playoffs? That argument has existed ever since Ken Dryden was awarded the Calder Trophy a year after receiving the Conn Smythe Trophy as the outstanding playoff performer. Dryden is one of four NHLers to get Stanley Cup rings before winning rookie of the year honours. There could be a fifth this year--Tanner Pearson of the Los Angeles Kings is Calder-eligible because he played to, but not above the limit of 25 regular-season games last season. He also has 25 playoff games to his credit--they dont count, but should they? 14) If the St. Louis Cardinals have another save situation in the NLCS, would you be surprised if the pitcher is Pat Neshek and the catcher is AJ Pierzynski, or the injured Yadier Molina? No, but you should be shocked if the pitcher is Trevor Rosenthal and the catcher is Tony Cruz. A wild pitch isnt the catchers fault, but Cruz shared some of the blame for the wildest of wild pitches that allowed San Franciscos Matt Duffy to score from second base. (I saw that in a kids game once and thought it should never happen there.) 15) Was it okay for Edmonton Eskimos coach Chris Jones to issue a coachs challenge with his team leading the Winnipeg Blue Bombers 37-0? Sure, if it was okay for the replay officials to deny it without bothering to look at the play in question. 16) On the night you want to watch playoff baseball in Kansas City and you find out the game has been postponed by rain, do you find yourself hating Rogers Centre a little less? 17) Not that it means much to be leading the NHL scoring race in the first week, but Tampa Bay Lightning defenseman Victor Hedman tops the Art Ross list with seven points, and that does beg the question--How in the world did Sweden not take him to Sochi? 18) Brad Ausmus will return for a second season as manager of the Detroit Tigers. The question is: At spring training, will he be meeting every single member of next seasons bullpen for the first time? 19) Thanks to the Toronto Argos last-minute, one-point (34-33) win over Hamilton, the average margin of victory in the CFLs week 16 was "only" 25 points. Without it--34 points. So how do we feel about the adage that "no lead is safe in the CFL?" Well, despite the Argos heroics, some are, obviously. 20) Its not fair, but I cant resist--after watching Jamie Benn and Tyler Seguin do "trick shots", I must ask: When will they score their first goals? (Benn and Seguin were blanked in the Dallas Stars first two games, both losses.) Roger Clemens Jersey . In the days leading up to the draft, TSN.ca and TSN Radio basketball analyst Duane Watson looks at some of the names that will be headlining the event. Tonight, Michigans Nik Stauskas of Mississauga, Ontario. Zack Greinke Jersey . Gustafsson controlled the first round after getting top position on a throw, and came out much more forcefully in the second, buckling Manuwa with a Muay Thai knee, and finishing him off with strikes on the ground. https://www.cheapastros.com/2963o-larry-dierker-jersey-astros.html .3 seconds remaining, and No. 7 North Carolina held off a resilient No. 25 Virginia team, 54-51, on Saturday. John Henson contributed a double-double with 15 points to go with 11 rebounds for the Tar Heels (25-4, 12-2 ACC), who have won five straight and 10 of 11.PHILADELPHIA -- The Sacramento Kings were keenly aware of the streak. They just didnt feel the need to talk about it. Instead, they went out and played the attacking style their coaches want to see. Rudy Gay scored 27 points, Isaiah Thomas added 20 and the Kings were 40 for 50 from the free throw line on their way to defeating Philadelphia 115-98 Wednesday night to extend the 76ers losing streak to 18 games. "To be honest, we didnt mention it once," Kings coach Michael Malone said of the losing streak. DeMarcus Cousins had 19 points and 12 rebounds, and Ben McLemore scored 15 points for the Kings, who snapped a three-game skid. Jason Thompson added 14. "Im from around here so I know about it," Thompson said. "You dont try to put extra pressure on yourself. Obviously, you dont want to lose to any team." The Kings are in the midst of a seven-game, 12-day road trip, their longest of the season. They are 2-3 on the trip. Henry Sims posted career-highs of 20 points and 10 rebounds, James Anderson added 17 points and Thaddeus Young had 16 for Philadelphia, which fell to 15-49 in dropping its 14th in a row at home, an ongoing franchise record. "My teammates were just trusting Id make the right decision," said Sims, who was acquired from Cleveland as part of a trade deadline deal for Spencer Hawes. "A couple shots fell for me. Im definitely proud, but Id be more proud of a win. I just try to go out every game and its a new day, a new season. I try not to think about it. I just focus on the next game." Michael Carter-Williams had 13 points, seven rebounds and two assists just two nights after earning his second career triple-double with 23 points, 13 rebounds and 10 assists at New York. Tony Wroten chipped in with 10 for the Sixers, who havent won siince a 95-94 victory at Boston on Jan. Lance Berkman Jersey. 29. "Its not doom and gloom," Sixers coach Brett Brown said. "We will have another good day tomorrow." The Sixers held a nine-point advantage in the first quarter before falling behind 58-54 at halftime. After a subpar first half, Cousins showed why he was the fifth overall pick in the 2010 draft. He had 12 points and seven rebounds in the third quarter to help the Kings extend their lead to 90-76. "We played good ball tonight," Cousins said. "We did a pretty decent job defensively. Still made some mistakes tonight, but well take the win. We had some spurts where we let up. I feel we did a lot better than we did in some of the previous games, but we did step forward tonight, so lets just continue to take steps forward and get a little streak going." The Kings didnt allow the Sixers to gain any momentum, making a quick 7-2 run for a 97-78 lead. By then, the crowd had largely dwindled as the Sixers moved closer to tying a franchise mark for most consecutive losses. The 1972-73 Sixers -- who finished 9-73 and still own the fewest wins in an 82-game season -- dropped 20 in a row. The NBA record for consecutive losses belongs to Cleveland, which dropped 26 straight from Dec. 20, 2010, to Feb. 9. 2011. The Sixers remain two games behind the Milwaukee Bucks (13-51) for the worst record in the league. The team with the worst mark will have a 25 per cent chance of garnering the No. 1 pick in the draft lottery. NOTES: Cousins earned his 40th double-double and his sixth in the last seven games. .
