http://www.baseballdodgerslockroom.com/fernando-valenzuela-dodgers-jersey/ . Pedroia reached the milestone with a little panache, hitting a grand slam in
the sixth inning and propelling the Boston Red Sox to a 7-1 win over the Oakland
Athletics on Friday night.SOELDEN, Austria - If skiings opening weekend was any
indication, the United States is in for quite an Olympic season. Ted Ligety,
Mikaela Shiffrin, Bode Miller and Tim Jitloff underlined the squads enormous
potential on the Rettenbach glacier in Austria. "Im really happy with how things
are going," U.S. Alpine director Patrick Riml said. "The coaches and staff did
an unbelievable job getting the athletes ready." And with Lindsey Vonn planning
to return in a month from right knee surgery and Julia Mancuso always a threat
on a big stage, the Americans could surpass their eight medals from the 2010
Vancouver Olympics at the Sochi Games, which run Feb. 7-23. "Everything is going
on track," Riml said. "Im feeling confident with our whole setup." Ligety won
the opening giant slalom for the third consecutive year. The 18-year-old
Shiffrin matched her career-best World Cup result in the discipline with a
sixth-place finish. Miller marked his return from 20 months off by placing 19th
after starting outside the top 30. Jitloff was 20th with one big error that
probably cost him about 10 positions. Perhaps the only negative note was Mancuso
finishing 27th. But Mancuso always seems to save her best for major
championships, as evidenced by her gold medal in giant slalom at the 2006 Turin
Games and two silvers in Vancouver. "Julia is always showing she does well at
the big events," former U.S. mens head coach Phil McNichol said. "Lindsey is
Lindsey. Ted is coming off three (gold) medals at the world championships. Bodes
back in the mix. Mikaela is going to be a force to be reckoned with. So its
going to be a very interesting Olympic cycle." Ligety dominated giant slalom
last season, winning six of eight races on the World Cup plus the world
championship race in Schladming, Austria, where he was also a surprise winner in
super-G and super-combined. "Last year we had an awesome prep here but this year
was less so, so I wasnt 100 per cent confident of how I was skiing," Ligety
said. "But then we had good training here in Soelden and the last couple of
weeks I started to feel a little better. Its nice to have some confirmation."
Ligety is enjoying having his childhood friend and former junior world downhill
champion Adam Cole on the coaching staff this season. "We grew up together,"
Ligety said. "Hes also young and athletic so he can do dry-land with us and we
can go play other sports and push each other." Shiffrin dominated in slalom last
season with four wins plus the world title and now looks like a two-event threat
with her giant slalom vastly improved. After the Olympics, Shiffrin could expand
into the speed events. Shiffrin is also maturing off the hilll.
Jackie
Robinson Jersey. Her mother, who has accompanied her in Europe for the
past two seasons, said this is probably the last season shell be there. "I may
not have to stay here as she keeps getting more and more comfortable," Eileen
Shiffrin said. Shiffrin has improved so much in GS that she was beating male
teammates in training the past couple of weeks. Which guys was she beating?
Thats still a secret. "Shiffrin was skiing unbelievably fast," mens head coach
Sasha Rearick said. "Im not going to tell you." As for the 36-year-old Miller —
yes, hes twice Shiffrins age — his new slimmer frame appears to be paying off.
The two-time overall World Cup winner lost nearly 30 pounds during his season
off to recover from left knee surgery. Miller skied to 13th place with the No.
32 bib in the opening run and was able to hang on in the second leg. "I wasnt
tired at all," Miller said. "I think my fitness is higher now for a World Cup
than its ever been. Im snappy and springy and I can go as long as the courses
are. ... Theres obviously some lack of inertia, some weight, but I dont think
thats going to be an issue." If Miller already has his form back in giant
slalom, he could really excel in the speed events of downhill and super-G, where
hes had nearly all of his wins in recent years. "GS was the one event where we
hadnt been able to put the most volume in because it was causing some more knee
irritation," Rearick said. "So if hes been able to do what hes done this week,
its beyond my expectations." Millers fitness should also get a boost from the
speed teams newly hired conditioning coach, Tony Beretzki, an Austrian who once
worked with Hermann Maier and Stephan Eberharter and spent the last four years
with the Spartak Moscow soccer team. With Miller out last season, downhillers
Marco Sullivan, Steven Nyman and Travis Ganong each had solid starts, but their
conditioning dropped off around January. "He has brought a great, great program
and is doing an awesome job," Rearick said. The womens speed team, meanwhile, is
coming off a record-breaking season that included podium finishes not just for
Vonn and Mancuso, but also for Stacey Cook, Alice McKennis, Leanne Smith and
Laurenne Ross. The bar of expectations has been raised for Cook & Co. this
season. "You definitely want to back up those results," womens head coach Alex
Hoedlmoser said. "You want to be contenders with all of those girls on a regular
basis." The speed teams dont race until events in Lake Louise, Alberta, and
Beaver Creek, Colo., on Thanksgiving weekend. Next up are slaloms in Levi,
Finland, Nov. 16-17. ___ Follow Andrew Dampf at http://twitter.com/asdampf
