ST.

Tucker Ravens Jersey . LOUIS -- All Adam Wainwrights balky elbow needed
was a little rest. The St. Louis starter tossed eight strong innings, and
Matt Holliday broke an eighth-inning tie with a run-scoring double to lead the
Cardinals to a 4-1 win over Philadelphia that snapped the Phillies season-high
five-game winning streak on Saturday. Wainwright (10-3) allowed one run and six
hits, struck out seven and didnt walk a batter for the Cardinals, who broke a
three-game losing streak. He pitched on 10 days rest after missing a start due
to elbow tendinitis. "That was the right decision," Wainwright said of skipping
an outing. "I felt real good all game. Sometimes you never know how youre going
to respond when you havent thrown very much. But I was fine. "The only time I
even felt anything in my arm at all was my first swing where Cole Hamels jammed
me and I grounded to third." Wainwright needed to be on his game to beat Hamels
in a matchup of heavyweight arms. "It was a pitchers duel as advertised,"
Philadelphia manager Ryne Sandberg said. "Both guys were outstanding."
Wainwright was slightly better. He never let a runner get beyond second base
except in the third when the Phillies scored their only run. Wainwright, who
lowered his ERA to 2.08, threw 104 pitches, 68 for strikes. "All of his pitches
were sinking, and he mixed them up well," Philadelphia catcher Carlos Ruiz said.
St. Louis manager Mike Matheny was impressed with Wainwrights command following
the layoff. "Its just amazing how sharp he was," he said. "It looked like the
Adam weve watched all season." Trevor Rosenthal backed up Wainwright by striking
out two in the ninth to earn his 21st save in 24 attempts. Hamels (2-4) gave up
three runs and seven hits over 7 1-3 innings. He had a scoreless streak of 24
2-3 innings snapped on Matt Adams second-inning sacrifice fly. Hamels refused to
speak with reporters after the game. Holliday ripped a one-out double to bring
in Matt Carpenter and break the 1-1 tie. Carpenter coaxed a leadoff walk to
begin the eighth. "At that point in the game, youre looking at having a chance
to win if you can scratch across one run," Holliday said. "Luckily, (Hamels)
left it up a little and I put a good swing on it." St. Louis added two more runs
in the eighth to go up 4-1. Jhonny Peralta brought in Holliday with an infield
ground out, and Adams followed with his second sacrifice fly of the game. "We
grinded it out," Matheny said. "Were getting good at those close games by just
staying the course." Philadelphia had tied it 1-1 in the third inning on
successive singles by Cody Asche and Hamels, and a sacrifice fly by
Jimmy Rollins. Asche, who grew up in nearby OFallon, Missouri, recorded his
first hit at Busch Stadium. Rollins extended his hitting streak to 15 games with
a single in the eighth inning. NOTES: After the game, the Cardinals placed INF
Kolten Wong on the 15-day disabled list due to a sore shoulder. Shane Robinson
will be recalled from Triple-A Memphis in time for Sunday game. ... The
game-time temperature was a season-high 92 degrees. ... Philadelphias
Kyle Kendrick (3-6, 3.97) will face St. Louis Carlos Martinez (0-3, 4.19) in the
series finale on Sunday. Martinez is replacing RHP Michael Wacha, who is being
given extra rest. ... The Phillies didnt commit an error in the first six games
of their current seven-game trip . ... St. Louis C Yadier Molina batted in the
cleanup spot for the first time since June 20, 2013.

http://www.ravensauthoritystore.com/Authentic-Joe-Flacco-Ravens-Jersey/ . Whenever United loses, its crisis. When other top teams slip up, its the
quirky nature of the Premier League. The predictable reaction speaks to the
sky-high expectations for a team proven perennial contender and 13 times Premier
League champion.The Olympic break in the NHL schedule will be upon us following
the conclusion of ten games on Saturday night and players selected to represent
their country will head to Sochi with their sights set on a gold medal. And I
wanted to take this opportunity to share some of my experiences gained through
International competition and the 1998 Winter Olympics in Nagano, Japan. Seven
NHL referees and six linesmen will be assigned upcoming games in Sochi by the
IIHF as part of their 28-man officiating roster comprised of 14 refs and 14
linesmen. Referees Dave Jackson, Mike Leggo, Brad Meir, Tim Peel, Kevin Pollock,
Kelly Sutherland and Ian Walsh will be joined by NHL linesmen colleagues Derek
Amel, Lonnie Cameron, Greg Devorski, Brad Kovachik, Andy McElman and Mark
Wheler. The IIHF has also selected linesmen Chris Carlson and Jesse Wilmot
(Canada), along with Chris Woodworth and Tommy George (U.S.A. Hockey) to
participate. Congratulations and best of luck to each of the officials selected
to participate in this International showcase.The IIHF, represented by President
Rene Fasel and Officiating Manager Konstantin Komissarov, or their designates
will have already briefed the current crop of officials heading to Sochi with
regard to rule differences, security measures, travel procedures and many other
important matters that surround the Olympic event. Aside from the fact that it
will be mostly business for the refs and linesmen once they arrive in Sochi, it
is a much different world today than it was in 1998. As such, the current group
of officials was strongly discouraged from having any family members join then
for this Olympic event. It will be all business with heightened security
measures in place! I recall our meeting with Mr. Rene Fasel at the NHL Offices
in Toronto a month or so prior to our departure for Nagano. Since this was to be
the first time that professional players and officials were being allowed to
participate in the Winter Olympics there was extensive information that we were
provided. As we were being brought up to speed on rule differences Mr. Fasel,
stated that all referees and linesmen were required to wear a helmet and visor!
My colleague Ray Scapinello raised his hand and said, "Mr. Fasel I dont wear a
helmet let alone a visor." The IIHF President addressed Scapinello directly and
informed him if he didnt wear a helmet and a visor he would not be working in
the Olympics. Scampy immediately responded with, "My helmet size is 7 1/4 -
thank you, sir." Those of us that didnt wear a helmet or visor put one in the
last week or two of NHL games in an effort to adjust. As you can imagine I had a
very difficult time with it. The visor gave me the feeling of being in a
fishbowl. I tried various products and sizes in an attempt to get comfortable
and was struggling with it until Ray Bourque helped me out in a game in Boston.
He told me I looked ridiculous in the thing I was wearing and had the Bruins
trainer put one of his special Oakley visors on my helmet. If nothing else, the
style was more appealing and I wore it during the Olympics. In spite of flying
business class to Tokyo from North America, it was a very long haul. We were
advised to drink plenty of water (limit alcohol consumption) and to get up and
exercise throughout the flight in addition to sleep as much as possible. Our
Japanese hosts were fantastic. Upon arrival at Narita Airport we were personally
escorted to the Bullet Train. We were then handed a ticket with a seat
assignment and escorted to the platform where all passengers waited in a very
orderly fashion behind a theatre-style rope. The Bullet Train pulled into the
station and passengers disembarked. A cleaning crew dressed smartly in uniform
and white gloves marched onto the train in single file with their brooms and
dusters placed over their shoulders like rifles. They cleaned the train and then
marched off in unison the same way they entered. An attendant removed the clip
from the rope restrainer and the customers walked onto the train in a calm and
orderly fashion, single file. For all of us that had been pushed and jostled on
filthy trains throughout the North American public transit systems (especially
the New York subway) this was an amazingly pleasant experience.

. We rolled into the mountain region of Nagano 24 hours after our flight had
departed from North America. We had one day to quickly recover, meet with our
IIHF colleagues in a morning skate and then work the games. The extensive travel
to get to Sochi will be a challenge for the current group of officials to
overcome as well. In a short tournament on the world stage, every game is
crucial and the officials feel the pressure and demand to be at their very best.
All of us had extensive Stanley Cup playoff experience (including multiple Cup
Finals for several of us) but we were the new kids on the block regarding
Olympic competition. The camaraderie that was quickly established between the
amateur and professional officials in Nagano made for a unified group of zebras.
We were able to share our officiating experience and help one another adjust to
the bigger ice surface and style of play that we would encounter. We immediately
gelled with our International colleagues and became a unified team. It was
obvious to me very early in the tournament that the Czechs were going to be a
team to be reckoned with. They had many talented players, but unlike their
dismal performance in the 1996 World Cup of Hockey where they were
individualistic and disjointed, this group appeared united and going for the
gold. Their captain, Vladimir "Rosey" Ruzicka (233 NHL games with Edmonton,
Boston and Ottawa) hadnt played in the NHL since the 1993-94 season but was
performing at an incredibly high level; one that I had never seen from him
previously. He was definitely the leader of this Czech team. And of course, they
had The Dominator (Dominik Hasek) in goal! I was the backup referee for the gold
medal game between Czechoslovakia and Russia. I was seated in the first row of
the lower balcony beside my wife Kathy when Bill Wirtz and his wife arrived to
occupy the seats beside us. The stairs were extremely steep and as Mr. Wirtz got
to the railing he tripped and started to fall forward. I grabbed him by his belt
and yanked hard pulling the Blackhawks owner backward into his seat before he
fell over the railing. Startled, he look at me and said, "Thanks Kerry, that was
a close call!" Just before the opening puck drop, Mr. Wirtz asked me who I
thought was going to win the game. I told him the Czech team had really
impressed me throughout the Olympics and I thought they stood a real good
chance. He said that was good info because he had laid down a large bet in Vegas
for the Czech team to win. The reasoning he shared with me was that he had bet
against Dominik Hasek once before when he traded the goalie away from the Hawks.
Mr. Wirtz said he wasnt going to bet against Hasek this time around! The
Dominator shut out the Russian team and the Czechs won the gold medal. We were a
tired but jovial bunch that boarded a bus arranged by Sr. V.P. of Hockey
Operations Brian Burke to transport us from Nagano back to Tokyo following the
gold medal game. And Burkie was busy snapping pictures of everyone as for his
Nagano album. Following a brief sleep in the airport hotel, we boarded an early
morning flight back home. Our stay at home was extremely short because the
referees had to all fly to Toronto early the next morning for a meeting that NHL
commissioner Gary Bettman insisted we attend. While we were in Nagano, the
Commissioner had us craft a document with referee-in-chief Bryan Lewis in an
attempt to solve the ongoing obstruction crisis in the NHL. As such, we had to
jump on a plane and attend a referees-only meeting. Fortunately, those of us
that had worked the Olympics were given a week off to recover from the jet lag.
The meeting held in Toronto didnt prove all that productive since it wasnt until
2006 that a meaningful difference resulted in dealing with obstruction! The
Olympic experience is a highlight of everyones career, whether as a player or as
an official. I am quite sure the group working in Sochi will feel the same way.
Best of luck boys and above all, please remain safe!
