HOUSTON -- San Francisco Giants reliever Guillermo Mota was activated from the restricted list on Tuesday after serving a 100-game suspension for his second positive drug test. Left-hander Jeremy Affeldt has been placed on the paternity list to make room on the roster for Mota. Mota tested positive for Clenbuterol, which he says was in childrens cough syrup. His first suspension came in November 2006 when he was with the New York Mets. San Francisco manager Bruce Bochy never considered not bringing Mota back. Some thought the Giants might not want to call him up in the wake of All-Star Game MVP Melky Cabreras 50-game suspension for a positive testosterone test. "Everybody makes mistakes," Bochy said. "I do, you do, we all do and when you do there are consequences and hes paid the consequences with a pretty good suspension ... there was no question in bringing him up. What can you do, condemn the man for that? No, I wouldnt want to do that." Mota said he knows he should have read the label of the cough syrup before taking it, and that he plans to be more careful in the future. Hell have to be, as a third positive test would result in a lifetime ban. "What I did was a mistake and I did not read the label," he said. Bochy believes Mota didnt intentionally take the banned substance, and that it is important to support players when theyre dealing with difficult times such as this one. "While we dont endorse these guys that are taking PEDs, we also want to be known as an organization that cares about the person as a whole, not just the player," Bochy said. "Mota served his time and now its time for all of us to move on." Mota said that when he appealed his suspension, Major League Baseball officials believed his story of why he tested positive, but that it didnt change the ruling. "They have their rules and a rule is a rule," Mota said. "They told me that I had to read the label." Bochy believes Motas return will give the bullpen a boost. "Hes going to give us depth in the bullpen," Bochy said. "We need some help there. We need some help bridging the gap to our late-inning guys. His experience is going to help." The 39-year-old Mota was 0-1 with a 5.06 ERA in nine games this season before his suspension. He was 2-2 with a 3.81 ERA in 52 appearances last season. cheap jerseys . -- Arkansas football team was in mourning Sunday following the death of backup tight end Garrett Uekman. wholesale jerseys china .

SEATTLE -- From across the locker room, the shouts toward Seattle quarterback Russell Wilson were clearly heard. "Golden is coming for your job!" Back on a roll heading into their bye week, Wilson isnt the only one throwing touchdowns for the Seahawks. Even receivers like Golden Tate are getting in on the fun. Wilson tossed two TDs, before Tates shot put TD pass to Sidney Rice late in the fourth quarter capped the Seahawks 28-7 rout of the New York Jets on Sunday. Tates 23-yard TD toss to Rice was punctuated by the receiver taking a bow to three sides of CenturyLink Field. It might as well have been a collective bow by the entire Seahawks sideline after a dominating second half. "We hung tough. We werent playing very well early and some things happened and we hung tough and kept punching away at it," Seattle coach Pete Carroll said. "We finally put together a real good finish." Marshawn Lynch added 124 yards rushing and a 1-yard TD plunge as the Seahawks (6-4) won their second straight, improved to 5-0 at home and sent the Jets to their worst start since 2007. Lynch also topped 1,000 yards for the season on an 18-yard run, bouncing off tacklers late in the fourth quarter. He has 1,005 for the season. "Its hard to get 1,000 yards in this league. Im happy for Marshawn. He congratulated me, and Im like, no, congratulations to you. Thats just the kind of guy he is," Seattle fullback Michael Robinson said. "He understands it takes all 11 guys to run the ball in this league." Wilson was harried for much of the day by the multiple looks from the Jets defence. But the Seattle rookie responded with key throws, hitting Tate for a 38-yard TD on Seattles opening drive, then connecting with Rice early in the fourth quarter to give Seattle a two-score advantage. Then came Seattles closing act. After a penalty wiped out another TD run from Lynch that left Antonio Cromartie buckled and grabbing at air, the Seahawks went into their bag of tricks. Facing first-and-goal at the 23, Wilson handed off to Tate. His windup was methodical and his heave wasnt the prettiest, but the spiral found Rice in the back of the end zone. The Seahawks ran the play in their walkthrough Saturday, where Tate threw what was politely described as a "duck." It wasnt much prettier a day later, but the result was perfect. "It was slow, he fumbled with it. He almost wanted to hand it to him, you could tell he was just guiding it to him," said Robinson, a former quarterback at Penn State. "But he did a great job." Wilson finished 12 of 19 for 188 yards and still has not thrown an interception at home. His only mistake was holding the ball too long on a first-quarter sack that resulted in the Jets only score on Muhammad Wilkersons fumble return for a touchddown.dddddddddddd Rice had just two receptions, but both went for touchdowns. He also had a critique for his fellow receiver. "After it left his hands it was beautiful," Rice said. "Before that it was suspect." While the pass game provided many of Seattles highlights, it was a recommitment to the run at halftime that was behind the Seahawks dominant second half. Lynch had 85 yards on 13 carries in the second half after assistant head coach Tom Cable told his offensive line at halftime they were going to pound the ball with the Seahawks bruising back. "I dont think we did anything special. We just fit our blocks better and focused on the basics," Seattle offensive lineman John Moffitt said. Mark Sanchez struggled in his meeting against Seattle coach Pete Carroll, his former coach at USC. Sanchez threw a costly interception at the goal line in the first half, then fumbled at the Seattle 32 on a blitz from Richard Sherman and Seattles Jason Jones recovered in the fourth quarter. Sanchez finished 9 of 22 for 124 yards. Tim Tebow ran four times for 14 yards, and was 3 of 3 passing for 8 yards. But Tebow was of no help to the offence. "I dont know how many more losses you can spot somebody before you think can make the playoffs," Jets coach Rex Ryan said. "Its about a two per cent chance at making the playoffs with the record we have and we are going to take that shot." The Jets finished with just 185 total yards and only 72 in the second half. Its the second time this season the Jets were held under 200 yards of offence. "Just being mean. Bottom line, thats how we played today," Seattle defensive end
