MIAMI -- Back with the Florida Marlins after an 11-day demotion to the minors, a less loquacious Logan Morrison unpacked his bags and pondered his punishment. . Will the clubhouse comedian now be more reserved? "Ill be the same person," Morrison said. Maybe. But by LoMos standards, a five-word sentence qualifies as curt, and Marlins management likes the sound of that. Morrison annoyed the Marlins with his fondness for Twitter and wisecracks, and a steady stream of quotable comments -- coupled with sinking productivity at the plate -- earned him a ticket to triple-A New Orleans. While the self-described Twittaholic claimed to return unchanged, the Marlins are confident the stint in exile sent a message and will hasten his maturity. Morrison turns 24 Thursday. "Hes a good kid, really," manager Jack McKeon said. "He understands the situation, and Im quite sure youre going to see a different guy." Morrison rejoined the Marlins before Wednesdays doubleheader against Cincinnati, and for Game 1 he was back in left field and batting third. He said he was excited to be back but unsure why he had been sent to the minors. "I dont really care, not anymore," he said. "Its in the past. I cant control if theyre going to give me a reason or not." Regarding his relationship with the organization, Morrison said, "The relationship is Im a baseball player, and theyre the organization that provides the jersey, so Im going to go out there and play hard." Along with fewer yuks from Morrison, the Marlins want more hits. He was batting .320 on June 1, but his average had dropped to .249 when he was optioned to New Orleans. As a rookie last year, he hit .283. "Im not a .249 hitter," he said. "I see myself as more of a .300 hitter. Its part of the game -- you struggle. Ill just take these next five weeks to work to get better and hopefully get the average up a little bit." Despite the declining average, he ranks second on the Marlins with 17 homers, and his 26 RBIs in July tied for most in the majors. While he was with New Orleans, injury-ravaged Florida went 1-8 to settle more firmly into last place in the NL East. "Weve been looking for that key hit for two weeks," McKeon said. "Hopefully LoMo can supply that." Morrison went only 4 for 24 with New Orleans but said those stats were skewed by a series against the Texas Rangers triple-A affiliate in Round Rock. "They have some pretty good arms," he said. "It was big-league pitching with triple-A lighting." Morrison tweeted less frequently in the minors, although he did offer a blue comment about the weather in Round Rock, joked about his yoga instructor and described an airport security pat-down. Triple-A tweets didnt seem to hurt his popularity. Instead, his following grew 10 per cent to nearly 67,000. Still, it stung being sent from Miami up to New Orleans. Or would that be down to New Orleans? "I guess its up there geographically," Morrison said with a slight smile, "but down there in status."

The two Atlantic Division rivals were slated to open their respective 2012-13 seasons Thursday at the newly built Barclays Center, but the effects of superstorm Sandy on the New York area caused the league to postpone the contest.

Hoyer is expected to make a full recovery after undergoing reconstructive knee surgery on Friday, and Browns coach Rob Chudzinski said he hopes the QB will be able to return for practice next spring.Kyle Wellwood started it and Kyle Wellwood ended it as the Jets picked up their second win of the road trip, beating Florida 4-3 in a shootout. In between Wellwoods goals, lots happened, including a controversial hit by Jack Skille on Toby Enstrom, who did not return. It is an upper-body injury and he will be re-evaluated on Tuesday. Dustin Byfuglien immediately challenged Skille, resulting in a double minor for roughing which the Jets killed off. Early in the third, Andrew Ladd fought Skille. The Jets jumped out to a 2-0 lead on goals by Wellwood and Evander Kane. For Wellwood, it was his team-leading fifth goal on his 12th shot of the season. Last year, he notched his fifth goal on his 50th shot. It marked the fifth time the Jets have opened the scoring in a game. Despite allowing a goal in the final minute of the first period, the Jets came out and were solid in the second, maintaining the 2-1 lead. The teams traded chances all night and both Ondrej Pavelec and Jose Theodore were terrific. Your goaltender needs to be your best penalty killer and Pavelec was just that for the Jets. He faced 42 Panther shots. Tomas Fleischmann looked as though he would be the hero for the Panthers. He tied the game early in the third, and scored on the power play at 17:50 to give the Panthers the lead. Coach Claude Noel again mentioned his team needs to be more disciplined. Back to lots happening. With 50 seconds left, Kanes second of the night tied it. The official at the sside of the net waved it off because of a high-stick. MLB Jerseys Cyber Monday. But it would go to video review. Then word from the league was that the officials on the ice had called it a goal. This is important because the video was not conclusive enough to overturn the call on the ice. The officials had a meeting after the goal and felt it was a good goal and would let video decide it. That on-ice change was key for the Jets. No scoring in overtime, so off to the shootout. Tim Stapleton was stopped, Andrew Ladd scored, Pavelec was 2-for-2, leaving Wellwood a chance to end it, and with a nifty move to the forehand, he beat Theodore for the win. I saw how he played Stapleton who went to the back hand, and that helped me decide what to do, said Wellwood in a TSN Jets post-game interview. With us leading into the third, we didnt want to give up two points. Coach Noel, celebrating a birthday, did not like the hit on Enstrom, nor did he like a hit by Scottie Upshall on Kane earlier in the game. Kane scored a power play goal on that penalty. We need to close out games, commented the coach. We needed a penalty kill and we didnt get it. Again, discipline. On Wellwood coach Noel had this to say, Hes a good thinker, a reliable player. On Kane, He was good again. I double-shifted him. He scored a couple of big goals. Zach Bogosian led all Jets in ice-time at 26:42. Kane had six shots on goal, Bryan Little won 11 of 20 faceoffs. Next up is the Islanders Thursday (TSN Jets, TSN 1290). ' ' '
