(Sports Network) - Bartolo Colon was simply dominant in his last trip to the hill, but came away with a no-decision. cheap jerseys . Tonight, he hopes for a better outcome when the New York Yankees open a three-game series with the Toronto Blue Jays at Yankee Stadium. Colon continued his amazing resurgence on Wednesday in Baltimore, as he held the Orioles to just three hits over eight scoreless innings. He also struck out seven and walked a batter, needing only 87 pitches to do so. However, Mariano Rivera cost Colon the win with a blown save in the ninth in a game eventually won by the Yankees in 15 innings. "This is the best game so far [this year]," Colon said through an interpreter. "Thank God we won the game. I wish I will continue to pitch that way." The former American League Cy Young Award winner is 2-2 on the year with a 3.16 ERA. One of his two wins came against Toronto back on April 20 when he gave up two runs and five hits in 6 2/3 innings. For his career Colon is 9-3 lifetime versus the Jays with a 3.60 ERA. New York regained sole possession of first place in the American League East over the weekend, as it took two of three from the Mets. The Yankees trailed 3-1 to the Mets on Sunday before scoring eight times in the seventh inning on their way to the 9-3 win. Derek Jeter and Chris Dickerson hit two-run singles in the big frame, while Brett Gardner smacked a two-run double for the Yankees, who got four hits and an RBI from Alex Rodriguez. They totaled 13 hits in their fifth win in six games. New York, which leads the league with 71 home runs, managed the eight-run outburst without a single ball leaving the ballpark. Curtis Granderson, though, did hit his team-leading 16th home run in the victory. "For me, I dont care how we score runs; I really dont," manager Joe Girardi said. "The bottom line is either you have more runs than the other team or you have less. And it doesnt matter if you hit nine home runs and score 18 runs or if you have 42 hits and score 18 runs, the bottom line is you score runs, and we happen to be a club that hits a lot of home runs and thats how we score a lot of our runs. "There are a lot of American League teams that score a lot of runs off home runs. Thats just the nature of the league." One of those teams that relies on the longball are the Blue Jays, who have hit the second-most in the AL at 51, including Jose Bautistas major-league best 18. Toronto left the yard twice on Sunday, but lost the rubber match of its three-game interleague set with the Houston Astros, 3-2. J.P. Arencibia and Juan Rivera both homered for the Blue Jays, who have lost three of their last five. Tonight the Jays turn to Carlos Villanueva, as he makes a spot start in place of Jesse Litsch, who was put on the disabled list with an impingement in his right shoulder. Villanueva hasnt started since Oct. 3, 2009, when he took the ball as a member of the Milwaukee Brewers in St. Louis. In 13 relief appearances this season Villanueva is 1-0 with a 1.48 ERA. The Yankees have won three of their five matchups with the Blue Jays this season. cheap nfl jerseys . -- Kyle Wiltjer had his first career double-double, finishing with 23 points and 12 rebounds in Kentuckys 88-50 win Saturday over Lipscomb. cheap nfl jerseys . The Senegal striker finished off well-worked moves either side of a solo effort by French playmaker Hatem Ben Arfa, virtually securing victory for Newcastle by the 34th minute at The Hawthorns. West Brom improved after the break, with substitute Shane Long reducing the deficit in the 52nd after a defensive mix-up, but Newcastle held on to move level on points with fifth-place Chelsea. http://www.cheapnfljerseys2015.us.co... . -- Kaitlyn Lawes was given a tremendous opportunity in 2010 when she joined an experienced and successful Winnipeg rink skipped by Jennifer Jones. [url=http://www.cheapjerseysnflhome.com/]wholesale jerseys . -- Adam Cracknell scored a tiebreaking goal with 2:20 to play and Chris Stewart had a goal and two assists as the St. jerseys from china . Tom Soehn, Vancouvers director of soccer operations, had made the journey to evaluate defender Alain Rochat and midfielder Davide Chiumiento.The most interesting game in Week 17 was Montreals dominate 36-5 win over Hamilton. I wondered when the Montreal Alouettes were going to find a new bright light at quarterback, our games most important position. Well, after watching Troy Smith play, going 17-35 for 247 yards, three touchdowns and no interceptions, you wonder if that bright light is beginning to shine. Now, both Josh Neiswander and Tanner Marsh are good quarterbacks, but that is the problem; they are good and not necessarily great. Neiswander, from Angelo State, and Marsh, from Arkansas Tech, have each had their opportunities to perform. Smith is from Ohio State and already was a proven performer. Football is a tough sport and one of the toughest aspects of the sport are getting chances; you have very few. Most get just one, a minority get two and if you do not overwhelm ASAP you will not get a third. Smith did not overwhelm but he did look good. He impressed enough for a second chance to be the transition from greatness in Anthony Calvillo to hopefully more greatness for the Alouettes. The next question is where does that leave Calvillo? The truth is we wont know until as late as March or April. You cant dismiss the 20 years of CFL football, 16 with Montreal. You cant dismiss the 455 touchdown passes or the 79,816 passing yards as those accomplishments have extreme value. But you cant dismiss age either, Calvillos being 42. The hardest thing for Calvillo to do is leave the game under the circumstances he did: being assisted off the field due to head trauma rather than walking off, head held high. And lets not rationalize it, a concussion is head trauma. Its just not the way you want to go out and if so, it will grind inside of you for a long time. I speak from experience here. I would not be surprised if AC tried to play one more year, not only for the closure but to keep the “what if” demons away. Very slowly but in logical fashion GM and head coach Jim Popp is making the Alouettes a winner again. Smith, Duron Carter, Tyrell Sutton and others are being filtered into the roster, being evaluated in the games remaining, and will innevitably improve the team in the future.

Its terrible to say as I am sure if you are a fan of either of those teams you didnt want to hear that but as teams out of the playoffs, it is a unique opportunity to see what you have for the future. If both Winnipeg and Edmonton won the last two games, so what? If they found a couple of gems at specific positions, that would be extremely beneficial. There may not be a more negative or even depressing atmosphere than a pro football locker room without playoff goals. It is very subtle but you can feel its insecurity. Both Edmonton and Winnipeg should pay the price for future success right now. In Toronto and Hamilton, it is time to rededicate. Toronto did not look good in their 26-20 win over the Blue Bombers and after two good performances, the Tiger-Cats did not have the focus and concentration needed to be respected on Sunday. Having said that, I would not be surprised if both team won in dominate fashion this week. Both Scott Milanovich and Kent Austin have been exceptional hires for each organization. To me, theyre more similar than different. Theyre demanding, have excellent attention to detail, and are confronting. Both teams will play with greater execution this week because of those two coaches. In Calgary only two words come to mind: complete team. In Saskatchewan, it is still up in the air; a Grey Cup game at home is out there for the taking. Thats an experience that, if accomplished, no one will forget. Forcing eight turnovers against the BC Lions was special. The best game of Week 18 is easy: Saskatchewan at Calgary on Saturday night. Which leads me to BC; it looks like they will have to do it the hard way: two road games in the playoffs to make it to Regina. Most impressive aspect of Lions football right now is Stefan Logan. They found a running back from the past to help in the present and future. Logan and Andrew Harris, and maybe even Tim Brown too, that could be very effective. The Lions are dangerous because their back is against the wall. ' ' '
