Starting pitcher Dan Haren struggled in his second-shortest outing of the season, the offense was silent until the ninth Wholesale Jerseys inning, and the Angels also made a costly error in an 8-3 defeat Friday night.
Los Angeles fell four games behind first-place Texas in the AL West, pending the Rangers' late game in Seattle. The loss also dropped the Angels five games behind Boston in the wild-card race."A lot of things they did on the field better than we did," manager Mike Scioscia said. "We have to play at a higher level."
After the Angels fell behind 8-0, Scioscia pulled every one of his position players except third baseman Alberto Callaspo . "No message," the manager said. "At this part of the season, in a game like that, we needed to get some Cheap MLB Jerseys young legs out there and let these guys regroup."
Tommy Hunter (4-4) pitched seven shutout innings for the Orioles, who have become spoilers of late. Baltimore took two of three from wild-card hopeful Tampa Bay before easily handling the Angels, who had won eight of 11 coming in."We'd like to finish strong no matter who it is out there," Hunter said. "It's not one of those things where we're going to play harder against one of these teams or that team. This team is young. We want to go out there and play, no matter who it is."
Nolan Reimold and Mark Reynolds homered for Baltimore, now 2-5 against Los Angeles this season. The Angels avoided a shutout in the ninth against Kevin Gregg , who allowed a two-run homer to Hank Conger and an RBI double to Alexi Amarista .
Haren got into trouble in the second, when the Orioles manufactured two runs on one hit. Reimold walked, stole second and scored on Robert Andino 's single. A sacrifice bunt and a wild pitch got Andino to third, and he came home on J.J. Hardy's groundout.Baltimore made it 5-0 in the fifth. After Reynolds led off with his 33rd homer and Andino got an infield hit, Callaspo let a grounder go through his legs for an error. Hardy followed with a two-run double. Anyone hope the Angels had of a comeback ended in the sixth, when the Orioles increased the lead to 8-0. Chris Davis led off with a single Customized Jerseys and Reynolds doubled to chase Haren. Tyler Chatwood entered and threw a wild pitch, allowing Davis to score, and Reimold followed with a drive to left on an 0-2 pitch.

NFL Lions: Stafford throws 4 TDs in 48-3 win; KC loses Charles to knee injury
Matthew Stafford threw two of his four touchdown passes to Calvin Johnson and Detroit routed the Kansas City Chiefs 48-3 Sunday, matching the 45-point win it had over Cleveland in the 1957 NFL Shop title game.
Detroit broke its regular-season record set with a 44-0 win over the expansion Jacksonville Jaguars in 1995. The Chiefs (0-2) were expected to be competitive after winning the AFC West last season, but they're losing games and players at an alarming rate. Kansas City running back Jamaal Charles was carted off the field midway through the first quarter with an injured left knee, hurting a Football Jerseys team already without Pro Bowl safety Eric Berry and tight end Tony Moeaki for the rest of the season.
"The season will not be canceled as far as I know," Chiefs coach Todd Haley said. "What we have to do is we have to stop doing those things that are costing us dearly, and putting us in very difficult positions." The Lions led Kansas City 20-3 at halftime and 41-3 early in the fourth quarter after turning two fumbles into TDs, following up their season-opening win at Tampa Bay, in a home opener that didn't disappoint their fired-up fans.
"We have to make sure this isn't like the Denver game. We blew them out like this, and we thought we had arrived, and look what happened." Detroit dominated the Broncos 44-7 at home in 2007 to improve to 6-2 only to collapse with one win in the second half of the season, leading to the NFL's Replica NFL Jerseys first 0-16 year in 2008.
Back then, though, the Lions didn't have a quarterback quite like Stafford or an assortment of playmakers on both sides of the ball. He was 23 of 39 for 294 yards and four TDs — one short of his career high — and avoided mistakes after throwing an interception on the opening drive.Stafford threaded a 15-yard pass to Johnson for the first score and put a pass where only Tony Scheffler could catch it on a 36-yard TD in the second quarter.

Newton has another 400-yarder, but Packers outlast Panthers
Newton's second 400-yard passing game in as many starts was Cheap Jerseys Wholesale offset by three interceptions, two of which led to Green Bay field goals in the Packers' 30-23 victory . After spotting the Panthers a 13-0 lead, the Packers stayed with their strategy and kept it close until scoring 23 unanswered points with help from three consecutive third-quarter turnovers .Green Bay's Aaron Rodgers posted his second consecutive 300-yard passing, interception-free game. And his lack of giveaways was the example Newton vowed to learn from as his focus Green Bay Packers Jerseys now shifts to digging the Panthers from an 0-2 hole.
"When those guys know what they have to do, they do it. You don't see a lot of penalties. You don't see a lot of mistakes. And that is what we have to learn as a team, starting with myself." After falling behind early , Green Bay (2-0) served up a primer on creating chances as well as seizing them. Rodgers rallied the Packers with two 80-yard drives before veteran cornerback Charles Woodson literally had a hand in shifting the momentum permanently. His second interception, where he leaped in front of Steve Smith , turned into the first of Mason Crosby's three consecutive field goals. He set up a second by recovering Smith's fumble caused by Morgan Burnett. Burnett's interception led to the third.
"That team came out swinging and we were able to withstand their blows, buckle down and make the plays when we needed to make them," Woodson said after his sixth two-interception game. Newton did a good job setting the tempo early on, rolling out to buy himself time and his receivers space, working well out of the shotgun.
But the Packers sacked Newton four times. The biggest play may have been stopping him 3 yards short of the goal line on fourth-and-4 from the 6 late in the game with a 23-16 lead. Green Bay did the same thing 11 days ago to preserve a season-opening win against the New Orleans Saints. The difference here was that it gave Rodgers time to seal it with an 84-yard touchdown pass to wide receiver Jordy Nelson.
"A big part of that was just being able to keep (Newton) in the pocket," linebacker Clay Matthews said. "We were able to come up with a big play down there, give it to our offense and complete a nice throw-and-catch for a touchdown."Rodgers finished 19-of-30 for 308 yards and 119.9 rating, in helping the Packers overcome a slow start and give them the cushion they need as the Panthers rallied late.
Newton came out of the two-minute warning to bring Carolina back within a touchdown again, using a 62-yard pass to Smith (six catches, 156 yards) to set up his 4-yard scoring run with 41 seconds left.

Cowboys' Tony Romo has collapsed lung
Romo finished their 27-24 overtime win at San Francisco with a fractured Cheap Jerseys rib and evidence of having a collapsed lung while helping the Cowboys avoid an 0-2 start. They may have also suffered some heavy losses before their home opener.
Pro Bowl receiver Miles Austin aggravated a hamstring NFL Shop injury after three touchdown catches Sunday, running back Felix Jones sustained a shoulder injury and starting center Phil Costa reinjured his right knee. While Coach Jason Garrett refused Monday to be specific about the extent of the injuries, he is giving his team an extra day off this week. Part of the reason for that is to give players some extra time to heal before the home opener against Washington next Monday night. They will get their normal day off Tuesday, then won't NFL Jerseys Cheap practice the next day either.
Romo took a hit on the opening drive of the game. After leaving before halftime and getting treatment, he returned in the final minute of the third quarter. He threw for 201 yards in the fourth quarter and overtime, including a 77-yard completion to Jesse Holley on the Cowboys' first offensive snap in overtime to set up Dan Bailey's game-winning field goal.The fact that Romo returned to finish the 49ers game seems to be a good indication, especially with extra time off, that he should be able to play against Washington.
"I would not think there's any reason to think he won't be able to play Monday," Garrett said. "We're certainly hopeful." Garrett said Romo did an outstanding job, which was "certainly challenging with a cracked rib." The coach didn't mention any other injury for the quarterback, but the team issued a statement later Monday night that additional testing of the rib had revealed evidence of a collapsed lung.
The team said the condition, known as pneumothorax, wasn't unusual for an injury such as the one Romo sustained against the 49ers. The collection of air in the space around the lungs can put pressure on the lung so it can't expand as much as it normally would when taking a breath.

Ryan, Falcons rally past Eagles in Vick's return to Atlanta
Back in the Georgia Dome to face his former team for the first time as a starter for the Philadelphia Eagles, Vick was harassed, pummeled and ultimately knocked out of Sunday Cheap Jerseys night's game against the Atlanta Falcons with a concussion and neck injury. Vick was knocked out of the game with 3:03 remaining in the third quarter after he was hit by blitzing safety William Moore and knocked into Eagles tackle Todd Herremans. He writhed in Football Jerseys pain on the turf before being helped off the field.
Vick, still beloved by many Atlantans, including many who wore No. 7 jerseys bearing his name on Sunday night, was a lightning rod of attention all week due to obvious reasons. The Falcons drafted him No. 1 overall in 2001, but he left in disgrace after his involvement in a dog fighting ring surfaced in 2007, leading to a 20-month prison term.
After getting punished on a brutal collision -- he took a shot to the midsection from Moore, then ricocheted into his teammate with his helmet crashing into Herreman's shoulder -- Vick wanted to continue playing.
"You can tell there was a difference when he was on the ground," Eagles center Jason Kelce said. "Usually, when he stays down, you know he's going to come back, because he's a competitor. On that one, you could see something was wrong. He was really hurt. Late in the second quarter, on first-and-goal from the 4, Vick fumbled after absorbing a hit by defensive tackle Peria Jerry. Ray Edwards scooped up the fumble and rumbled 64 yards with the return to set up the first of Ryan's two TD throws to Tony Gonzalez.
It was a 14-point swing. Rather than increasing NFL Jerseys Cheap Philadelphia's lead to 10 points, the Eagles trailed 14-10 at halftime. Vick also fumbled just before the half, then was intercepted by Kelvin Hayden on his first snap of the third quarter. It took Atlanta just two plays to cash in, with Ryan's 17-yard TD throw to Gonzalez putting the Falcons up, 21-10. The most distinctive momentum shift occurred, though, after Vick -- who sparked a 21-point run by the Eagles -- was replaced by No. 3 quarterback Mike Kafka (backup quarterback Vince Young is injured). After LeSean McCoy's 2-yard TD run capped the drive that was marred by Vick's injury for a 31-21 lead, the Falcons stormed back.

Can the Rays really run down the Red Sox?
The Tampa Bay Rays once were nine games out of a playoff spot with 24 games to play. They still have three games to make up with just 13 remaining and are chasing the Boston Red Sox, a club with a Wholesale Jerseys payroll $120 million larger than Maddon's Men. So when B.J. Upton's broken bat distracted Sox shortstop Marco Scutaro long enough to produce a key hit that led to the game-breaking rally in a crucial 9-2 Green Bay Packers Jerseys victory, Maddon called it "a sign from the baseball gods."
He's no dummy. Maddon knows he's in Boston, where they'll eat up that bad juju faster than you can say "Buckner," and hopefully ladle an extra dollop of pressure on the quickly fading Olde Towne Team.But let's get past curses and quotes and tradition and ponder this: Can the Rays really do this?
The Rays line up quite nicely to take at least three of four in Boston. Tonight, Josh Beckett will pitch for the first time since suffering an ankle injury on Labor Day. Manager Terry Francona says they'll treat it like a regular start since Beckett hasn't been out long, but "we reserve the right to see how he's Cheap MLB Jerseys feeling. We'll keep an eye on him." How reassuring. The Rays, meanwhile, counter with an almost sure thing: James Shields, who has pitched at least into the eighth inning in eight consecutive starts. Wow. Saturday tips toward the Red Sox, with a Jon Lester-Jeff Niemann matchup, but Sunday brings another Rays advantage: David Price vs. Tim Wakefield. Like Shields, Price has reached at least the seventh inning in seven of his last nine starts. Wakefield, meanwhile, needed almost two months to go from career win No. 199 to 200. Oh, and the Rays are 10-5 against Boston this year.
So let's say the Rays take three of four, which looks like a decent bet. They'll be two games back with 10 to play -- four at the Yankees, three at home against Toronto, and three more against the Yankees at home. The Red Sox? Four at home against the Orioles, three at the Yankees, three more at Baltimore. Big advantage, Sox. The only factor working in the Rays' favor is the Yankees may be cooling their heels for the playoffs when they play their final series at Tampa Bay. And how frustrating would it be for the Sox, seeing a Yankee lineup perhaps bereft of a few regulars when they need them to beat the Rays? Fun stuff!
