TORONTO -- After being ejected for arguing balls and strikes, Jose Bautista said after the Blue Jays victory that hes trying to control his emotions. Bautista was thrown out of Sundays 2-1 win over the Houston Astros after arguing a called strike that led to a strikeout in the seventh inning. Bautista had barely stepped away from the batters box when home-plate umpire Sam Holbrook ejected him. "I said, I thought you have the biggest bleep strike zone that Ive seen all year, and that was it," Bautista said. "I was out of the game." Though it was just Bautistas second ejection of the season, his propensity to argue with umpires may have earned him something of a reputation. Its a problem the all-star outfielder has said hes working on. "Im always looking to hold it in when I think a bad call is made," Bautista said. "Im always looking to stay in games. Im always looking to try to do something good for the team. Im always looking to try to help us win the game. Im not trying to strike out, Im not trying to get ejected and Im not trying to not come through in that big situation." Bautista had popped out, flied out and grounded out before coming up in the seventh with a runner in scoring position. After falling behind 1-2 on two called strikes, Bautista swung and missed a pitch that he knew was a ball. "Theres things that are out of my control that make or put you in better or worse situations when it comes to at-bats and counts," he said. "Im just trying to make contact. Either my eyes are deceiving me or I just dont have a good feel for the strike zone right now. I swung at a ball and struck out, and thats the bottom line." Manager John Gibbons came out to have some words with Holbrook, but he would have preferred Bautista just walked away instead. "Yeah, stay in the game," Gibbons said. "I understand the frustration, thats the way it goes. But we need him on the field. Hes a big part of our team." Bautista is hitting .251 with 24 home runs and 64 RBI this season. He was one of four Toronto players in the all-star game. Bautista said its "impossible" to know whether hes being targeted by umpires because of his reputation. The work he needs to do is independent of calls made on the field. "What I need to do is stay in the games and realize that unfortunately even though I would love for right calls to be made consistently, thats just not going to happen and Ive got to deal with it," Bautista said. "Ive been trying to control myself as much as I can. But it is something that Im not as good at as other players. I struggle with it. I play with a lot of heart and emotion and I try to always come through for us. When I dont, it upsets me. If I fail on my own, it upsets me and if I feel like some opportunities are being taken away from me, it upsets me even more." . Greg Chase had a goal and an assist for the Hitmen (3-1-0), who have won three games in a row, while Brady Brassart scored once. Jaedon Descheneau led the Ice (2-2-1) by scoring twice and Jagger Dirk had the other. [url=http://www.officialmlbonline.net/Kansas-City-Royals-Cyber-Monday-Norichika-... Aoki Royals Jersey .

EDMONTON -- The B.C. Lions pounced on a wounded Edmonton Eskimos squad Friday night. Arland Bruce reeled in a pair of touchdown passes as the Lions contributed to the recent collapse of the Eskimos with a dominating 36-1 victory. It was the second win in the last three outings for B.C. after an 0-5 start to the season. "It was a great team win," said Lions quarterback Travis Lulay. "It was what we hoped to achieve heading into our bye week. We have been saying that we needed to find a way to beat a team like this that has played a lot of good football this season. "For us to win a game on the road against a team that beat us up pretty good in this same spot a month ago, we needed that." The injury-riddled Eskimos are headed in the opposite direction with three consecutive losses -- including a 27-4 loss to Montreal the previous week -- after a 5-0 start to the year. "Embarrassing," said Edmonton head coach Kavis Reed. "We didnt do a good job executing. They beat us in every way, shape and form." The Eskimos were missing four starting receivers Friday with Fred Stamps, Marcus Henry, Jason Barnes and Adarious Bowman all out with injuries. Newcomers Ryan Grice-Mullen, Dobson Collins and Prechae Rodriguez all made their Eskimo debuts. Defensive back Rod Williams, who leads the CFL with four interceptions, also missed the game with a hamstring injury. Edmonton quarterback Ricky Ray was also shaking his head about the suddenly listless Eskimos offence, which has scored only five points in its last eight quarters of play. "Im as frustrated as you can be," Ray said. "We just havent played well offensively. We have to fix a lot of things. We are doing a lot of things wrong right now. There are a lot of things we need to correct." B.C. head coach Wally Buono said it was a game that his team can build from. "Im proud of our team but it is tough for the Eskimos when they have lost all of their receivers. Our guys played very well, all-around," said Buono. "We have 10 games left and this will take some of the pressure off them. The second half of the season is going to be fun." With a bye next week, it is the first time since 1969 that the Eskimos failed to record a win in August. Ray telegraphed what was to come as he struggled in the early going and was intercepted on successive possessions. Korey Banks first picked off Ray at the B.C. five and was followed by Solomon Elmimian intercepting a pass at the Edmonton 52. The second pick would quicklyy lead to a 7-0 Lions lead with five minutes to play in the first as Lulay found Akeem Foster with a pass.dddddddddddd Foster was able to avoid Edmontons bumbling attempts at tackles and sprint 56 yards into the end zone. The Lions came right back at the Eskimos on their next possession but had to settle for a 25-yard Paul McCallum field goal for a 10-0 lead heading into the second quarter. Edmonton finally got on the board with a single from a missed Damon Duvall field goal attempt four minutes into the second. B.C. countered with a McCallum field goal and then marched down the field in the final minutes to score as Bruce made a jumping catch on the goal line with 30 seconds remaining to put the Leos ahead 20-1 at the half. The Lions had 241 yards in offence through 30 minutes while Edmonton was only able to muster 74 yards. B.C. kept coming to start the third quarter but the Eskimos defence stepped up to keep them off the board as Wopamo Osaisai picked off a Lulay pass in the Edmonton end zone. However, Ray was picked off in turn on the very next play by Ryan Phillips, leading to a 10-yard TD pass to Bruce and a 27-1 Lions lead. Veteran Kerry Joseph came in to replace Ray at quarterback but the move failed to awaken the Eskimos from their slumber as the third quarter came to a close. The Lions kept on roaring to start the fourth as they cushioned their lead to 33 points on a 25-yard TD toss to Geroy Simon just over a minute into the final frame. Midway through the fourth, Edmonton got hemmed into its own end and conceded a two-point safety to extend the Lions lead to 36-1. B.C. recorded eight sacks in the game against the porous Edmonton offensive line, three apiece coming from Keron Williams and Aaron Hunt. Both teams have byes next week and wont play again until September. Notes: The Eskimos won 33-7 last month in the only previous meeting between the two teams.
