For whatever reason, the Cardinals have not played like the Cardinals for much of the season, performing inconsistently on offense and showing unusual lapses in fundamental play. With his vulgar, insulting comments, Phillips unified the Cardinals and gave them a new sense of purpose. The Reds are a very good team, but they are not yet accomplished or a team that perennially reaches the postseason. The Cardinals always seem to know what it takes. They proved it again this week.” BILLICK: JETS CAN MAKE SUPER BOWL WITHOUT REVIS – NFL on FOX analyst and former Super Bowl-winning head coach Brian Billick admits the Jets vs. Darrell Revis contract holdout is a very tough situation for the Jets. If you go down the path of renegotiating Revis’ contract with a few years still left on his deal, it’ll open up Pandora’s Box. Even without a player of Revis’ caliber, Billick believes the Jets can still make it to the Super Bowl. “Outside of the quarterback position, it’s hard to imagine that any one player is that big. The Jets have got a gifted secondary. To lose one of those cogs is going to severely limit what they can do defensively. With that said, it would be a major hit but I wouldn’t preclude it from them being a championship caliber team.” FOXSPORTS.COM’S THREE WORST TEAMS IN 2010: BILLS, BUCCANEERS & RAMS – In his latest on FOXSports.com, NFL contributor Peter Schrager notes that in August, there’s unbridled optimism for fan bases in just about every NFL city. But he has a rude awakening for the three fan bases that shouldn’t get their hopes up in 2010. “Twenty-nine teams could end up being very good this year. Even the Raiders, Browns and Lions could be playoff contenders in 2010. However, Buffalo, Tampa Bay and St. Louis? No, no and no. The draft is only nine months away. You might as well pack it up and look towards April.” Check it out here . SCHRAGER ON THE… Bills: “The Bills are owners of the league’s longest postseason drought in the NFL (along with the Detroit Lions), having not played in the playoffs since the Music City Miracle year of ‘99. Put it in ink — you can add another season to that drought.” Buccaneers: “After starting the 2009 season with a 1-12 record, the Buccaneers won two of their final three games, including an inspiring come-from-behind overtime victory over the eventual Super Bowl champion Saints. Expect a few similar fleeting moments of joy and excitement in 2010. Key words: fleeting moments.” Rams: “There’s certainly some positive energy around this team. Their 2010 training camp attendance figures have tripled over last year’s numbers and there have been a reported 2,000 season tickets sold in recent weeks. There's genuine buzz and a few reasons to care about the Rams in 2010 but this is still a rebuilding year in St. Louis, yet again.” LANDON DONOVAN STOPS BY ‘SOCCER TALK LIVE’ MONDAY ON FSC – This Saturday, the world’s most-watched soccer league returns to Fox Soccer Channel, Fox Soccer Plus and Foxsoccer.tv .

    MAJOR LEAGUE BASEBALL WEEKLY NOTES FRIDAY, JULY 28, 2017 BLACKMON WORKING TOWARD HISTORIC SEASON On Sunday afternoon against the Pittsburgh Pirates at Coors Field, Colorado Rockies All-Star outfi elder Charlie Blackmon went 3-for-5 with a pair of runs scored and his 24th home run of the season. With the round-tripper, Blackmon recorded his 57th extra-base hit on the season, which include 20 doubles, 13 triples and his aforementioned 24 home runs. Pacing the Majors in triples, Blackmon trails only his teammate, All-Star Nolan Arenado for the most extra-base hits (60) in the Majors. Blackmon is looking to become the fi rst Major League player to log at least 20 doubles, 20 triples and 20 home runs in a single season since Curtis Granderson (38-23-23) and Jimmy Rollins (38-20-30) both accomplished the feat during the 2007 season. Since 1901, there have only been seven 20-20-20 players, including Granderson, Rollins, Hall of Famers George Brett (1979) and Willie Mays (1957), Jeff Heath (1941), Hall of Famer Jim Bottomley (1928) and Frank Schulte, who did so during his MVP-winning 1911 season. Charlie would become the fi rst Rockies player in franchise history to post such a season. If the season were to end today, Blackmon’s extra-base hit line (20-13-24) has only been replicated by 34 diff erent players in MLB history with Rollins’ 2007 season being the most recent. It is the fi rst stat line of its kind in Rockies franchise history. Hall of Famer Lou Gehrig is the only player in history to post such a line in four seasons (1927-28, 30-31).

  • Rays Clips 5-8-10
    RAYS CLIPS May 8, 2010 May 7, 2010 Tampa Bay Rays open series in Oakland by improving to 13-1 on road By Marc Topkin, Times Staff Writer Some lineup tweaks pay off as Tampa Bay keeps up its astonishing start. OAKLAND, Calif. - The decisions are made for various reasons, whether it be recent play, complex data and statistical matrixes, or even an occasional old-fashioned hunch. Friday, manager Joe Maddon said he kept Willy Aybar in the lineup because he looked good the night before and he likes his swings against left-handed pitchers. And he put Sean Rodriguez in the lineup, ahead of Ben Zobrist, based on research of Rodriguez's success against Oakland starter Gio Gonzalez in the minor leagues (4-for-5). And as good as the Rays are going, it only figures both ended up delivering key hits in the 4-1 victory that improved their baseball-best record to 22-7. "Pretty nice,'' Maddon said. David Price had something to do with it, too, sputtering a bit early but going on to pitch into the eighth in dominating style, allowing only three hits, to improve to 4-1. And when he left, after a career-high 119 pitches, with the bases loaded and two outs, Randy Choate took it from there. "David's the story,'' Maddon said. "We get that kind of starting pitching once again.'' Choate did his job twice, actually, as Evan Longoria's throwing error on the first ground ball Choate got from Daric Barton allowed a run to score. But Choate came back and got another, getting Ryan Sweeney to bounce out to shortstop Jason Bartlett.
