CHICAGO -- A month ago, Carlos Rodon was deep into a disappointing season. However, the 23-year-old left-hander now is in the midst of a major turnaround.Rodon pitched into the seventh inning, Justin Morneau had a two-run single and Melky Cabrera drove in a run and scored twice to lead the Chicago White Sox to a 4-1 victory over the Seattle Mariners on Sunday.Rodon (5-8) allowed the run and five hits in six-plus innings to go 3-0 with a 1.47 ERA in his last five starts.You could say the beginning of the year wasnt too good, he said, but its all about how you finish.Jose Abreu also drove in a run to help Chicago, which took three of four in the series and has won six of eight.Robinson Cano hit a solo homer, his 30th, and Kyle Seager had three hits for the Mariners.We just didnt get much going offensively, Seattle manager Scott Servais said. Youve got to get hits with runners in scoring position. It was a tight game. We just didnt get the big hits at the end.Rodon got a big boost from the Chicago bullpen on that end. Chris Beck and Dan Jennings worked out a jam in the seventh, Nate Jones pitched a 1-2-3 eighth and David Robertson got the last three outs for his 33rd save in 39 chances.Chicago center fielder Adam Eaton left the game due to a bruised forearm in the fifth -- an inning after being hit by a pitch. X-rays were negative and he is listed as day-to-day.Seattle starter Taijuan Walker (4-9) allowed four runs on four hits in 7 1/3 innings. He also hit three batters.Walker was perfect through three innings, but then started the fourth by hitting Eaton. One out later, Cabrera doubled to put runners on second and third. Abreu was hit by a pitch to load the bases and Morneau followed with a single to left for a 2-0 lead.Seattle got a run back in the sixth on Canos solo shot.Rodon was lifted in the seventh after giving up hits to Seager and Franklin Gutierrez to start the inning. Catcher Mike Zunino then tried to advance the runners with a sacrifice bunt against Beck, but third baseman Todd Frazier fielded the bunt and fired to second base for the force out.That play proved crucial when Jennings induced pinch-hitter Adam Lind to ground into an inning-ending double play.He got me that win right there, Dan Jennings, Rodon said.Chicago added a two runs in the eighth on an RBI triple by Cabrera and a sacrifice fly by Abreu to ensure Rodons win.Hes fun to watch, Jennings said of Rodon. Hes got incredible stuff. Hes going to be as good as he wants to be. He is growing and he is learning. His potential is unlimited.30-HR CLUBCano reached 30 homers for the second time in his career. He had 33 in 2009.Hes had a phenomenal year, really from the get-go, from the opening series of the season all the way through, Servais said. Hes been the constant in our lineup. Even when it doesnt look like hes swinging the bat that well, he does have a knack for finding holes and getting hits and keeping it going.TRAINERS ROOMMariners: 3B Seager (bruised right foot) was in the lineup for a second straight day after missing the previous three games. He looked fine, Servais said. Is he 100 percent? Probably not.White Sox: The return of 2B Brett Lawrie (left hamstring) remains uncertain. Hes cleared medically, but is experiencing discomfort. He still feels like theres something there, manager Robin Ventura ... RHP Miguel Gonzalez (groin) is expected to make a rehab start this week after throwing a simulated game on Saturday.UP NEXTMariners: RHP Hisashi Iwakuma (14-9, 3.81 ERA), whos gone at least seven innings in 12 of his 26 starts, faces RHP Yu Darvish (4-3, 2.91) Monday in the opener of a three-games series at Texas.White Sox: RHP James Shields (5-16, 5.98 ERA) looks to rebound Monday in the opener of a three-game series at Detroit after going 0-4 with a 13.95 ERA in last 5 starts. LHP Matt Boyd (5-2, 3.98) goes for the Tigers. Ben Chiarot Jersey . Woodson said during a radio interview Thursday that the Knicks Carmelo Anthony doesnt get the same calls as other superstars.

Nikolaj Ehlers Jets Jersey . -- Golden State Warriors coach Mark Jackson asked his players a simple question during Fridays morning shootaround: How many of them had ever been on a team 14 games over . After a summer full of hyperbole, promises, slogans, candidates and debate, we can finally see light at the end of the tunnel.No, Im not talking about the U.S. presidential election, which wont end until Nov. 8.Thankfully, the start of the 2016 college football season is right around the corner. And if you havent heard, the opening weekend of the season is going to be so big. Its going to be yuuuge. Listen, its going to be so good that you wont be able to turn away from your TV for 72 straight hours. Its going to be so very, very, very big. Trust me.On the opening Saturday, Oklahoma will play Houston, UCLA will play Texas A&M, LSU will play Wisconsin (at Lambeau Field!), Georgia will play North Carolina, USC will play Alabama and Clemson will play Auburn. Then Notre Dame will play at Texas on Sunday night, and Ole Miss will play Florida State on Labor Day night.Were going to have so much fun. Its going to be like Super Bowl Sunday on steroids. The best part: everybody is going to win (even UCF and Kansas!). Theres going to be so much winning that no one will want to fire a coach after Week 1. Well, everyone but Auburn, which always seems to want to fire its coach.Hawaii and California officially kick off the season in Sydney, Australia, on Aug. 26 (10 p.m. ET, ESPN). After college football goes worldwide, heres what to watch this coming season:1. Alabama will win the national championship. Again.Alabamas season will look a lot like the last one -- the Crimson Tide will struggle at quarterback early, might even lose to Ole Miss again, and then theyll figure it out and start rolling. By the end of the regular season, Alabamas running game will be punishing people and its defense will be stuffing everyone.Alabama coach Nick Saban will win his fifth national title in 10 years in Tuscaloosa and his sixth overall (he won one at LSU), which will tie him with legendary Tide coach Paul Bear Bryant for the most in major college football history. Afterward, Alabama will unveil a statue of Sabans wife, Terry, at Bryant-Denny Stadium at next years spring game.2. Alabama will be joined in the College Football Playoff by Clemson, Michigan and Oklahoma.Year 3 of the College Football Playoff includes semifinal games at the Chick-fil-A Peach Bowl and Fiesta Bowl on New Years Eve. Then the championship game will be played at Raymond James Stadium in Tampa, Florida, on Jan. 9.Its the last time the CFP semifinals games will be played on New Years Eve until after the 2021 season. After this season, future semifinals games will fall on either Saturday or New Years Day until 2022. So this year, youll have to split time between college football and Ryan Seacrest once more.Im picking Alabama, Clemson, Michigan and Oklahoma to make the playoffs. Alabama will play Michigan in the national championship game, which will be preceded by an eight-day Twitter war between Wolverines coach Jim Harbaugh and Alabama offensive coordinator Lane Kiffin. Sadly, the Twitter war will be more entertaining than the actual game.3. Clemson quarterback Deshaun Watson will win one of the closest Heisman Trophy races in history.Miamis Mark Richt recently said that when he was Georgias coach, he told an assistant that Watson would win somebody a national championship when the Bulldogs were recruiting him four years ago. Watson will get close to winning a national championship for the second season in a row, but the Tigers will fall in the CFP semifinals.However, Watson will win the Heisman Trophy in a very close race over Oklahoma quarterback Baker Mayfield and three tailbacks -- LSUs Leonard Fournette, FSUs Dalvin Cook and Stanfords Christian McCaffrey.4. McCaffrey will kick an extra point, return a fumble for a touchdown and score a touchdown off an onside kick this coming season.What didnt McCaffrey do last season? Hell be the best player in the country for the second season in a row in 2016, but not enough Heisman Trophy voters on the East Coast will stay up late enough to watch him play.Pac-12 After Dark sounds cool, but its killing the league. Please dont make East Coast fans stay up until 11 p.m. ET every week to see McCaffrey play. Hes too fun to watch.5. The Pac-12 will be left out of the College Football Playoff again.The Pac-12 was the only Power 5 league left out of the playoff last season, and it might be in the same boat in December.dddddddddddd There doesnt seem to be a dominant team out West, especially with Stanford and Oregon having to break in new quarterbacks.Plus, the Pac-12 is at a disadvantage playing nine conference games (compared to eight in the ACC and SEC). The Big 12 also plays nine conference games, but one of them is against Kansas. The Big Ten is starting to play nine this season, but one of them is against Purdue. The Pac-12 will devour itself, and Washington will win the league with three losses.6. Michigan will beat Ohio State and win the Big Ten.I dont get why people dont like Harbaugh. He loves Twitter. He appears in rap videos. He likes Judge Judy. He likes taking his shirt off in public. He takes his entire team to Florida for spring break and holds satellite camps around the world. Whats not to love?College football people in the South dont like Harbaugh because he doesnt fear the SEC. SEC coaches dont like Harbaugh because he makes them work too hard. SEC coaches dont like spending their summers at satellite camps. They want to spend their summers with their families at the beach, and I dont blame them.The Wolverines went 10-3 in Harbaughs first season and throttled SEC East champion Florida 41-7 in the Buffalo Wild Wings Citrus Bowl. But there was also an ugly 42-13 loss to Ohio State in the Big House. Harbaugh despises the Buckeyes. The Wolverines wont lose to OSU this season. They will beat the Buckeyes at the Horseshoe to win the Big Ten.7. A Power 5 school will scoop up Houstons Tom Herman by Dec. 1.After guiding Houston to a 13-1 record and 38-24 upset of Florida State in the Chick-fil-A Bowl last season, Herman will be a hot commodity this coming season. With quarterback Greg Ward Jr. leading Hermans offense, the Cougars are again favorites to win the AAC.If teams like Auburn, Texas or Texas A&M struggle early, dont be surprised to see an athletic director fire a coach sooner than usual. Everybody will line up to get a chance to hire Herman, especially schools in Texas.8. Tennessee will win the SEC East (but wont beat Florida).The Volunteers havent won an SEC championship since 1998 and havent won 10 games in a season since 2007. After limping through four seasons under Lane Kiffin and Derek Dooley, the Vols have slowly showed progress under Butch Jones, who is 21-17 in three seasons.But Jones says he believes he might finally have an SEC contender, and the Volunteers look loaded on both lines of scrimmage. With quarterback Joshua Dobbs and tailbacks Jalen Hurd and Alvin Kamara coming back, the Vols might be the team to beat in the SEC East. Theyll win at Georgia and South Carolina, but theyll lose to Florida for the 12th season in a row. Even worse, Steve Spurrier will be there to watch it.9. Big 12 expansion will come quickly.The Big 12 has 10 teams. The Big Ten has 14. Whatever. The Big 12 recently announced that its looking to expand, possibly with two more teams and maybe even four. Everybody from BYU to Cincinnati to Houston to South Florida to Tulane is under consideration.The Big 12 will expand, probably even before the games kick off in September. I think itll add only two teams -- probably Houston and maybe Cincinnati. The Big 12 adding four teams of the caliber its considering for expansion would only water down its on-field product. It wont help it catch the SEC. After losing Cincinnati and Houston, the AAC wont replace them and will remain at 10 teams.10. San Diego State will finish the regular season undefeated.If the Aztecs can beat a rebuilding Cal team at home on Sept. 10, then win at Northern Illinois the next week, theyll have a great chance to finish 12-0. SDSU carries a 10-game winning streak -- second-longest in FBS behind only that of Alabama -- and doesnt play Boise State during the regular season.Aztecs tailback Donnel Pumphrey is one of the most underrated players in the country, after running for 1,653 yards with 17 touchdowns in 2015, and coach Rocky Longs defense is stingy. After going 12-0 in the regular season, the Aztecs will have to beat Boise State in the Mountain West championship game to land a spot in a New Years Six bowl.
