CHICAGO - Mike Scioscia could sense the opener of the Los Angeles Angels series against the Chicago White Sox would be affected by the storm in the area Monday night. Justice Hill Youth Jersey . "Im sure were gonna be dealing with some rain at some point," Scioscia said about two hours before the scheduled first pitch. "Whether it impacts the game, I dont know. "I dont know if you ever know in Chicago, do you?" The game was postponed because of rain and rescheduled as part of a traditional doubleheader on Tuesday starting at 4:10 p.m. Angels right-hander Garrett Richards (8-2, 2.76) and Chicagos Hector Noesi (2-4, 4.18) — the scheduled starters Monday — will pitch Game 1, with Los Angeles Jered Weaver (8-6, 3.33) and Scott Carroll (2-4, 4.76) pitching the nightcap. The Angels had been undecided for the series finale on Wednesday, but named left-hander Tyler Skaggs (4-4, 4.34) to pitch that game following the postponement. Skaggs currently is on the disabled list since June 10 with a strained right hamstring. The White Sox will start left-hander John Danks (7-6, 4.26). With the addition of Skaggs, the Angels would have six starters, but Scioscia declined to say what move would be made from there. "Skaggs on Wednesday, and well let you know the rest," he said. "Well get through tomorrow and see where we are." The White Sox thought there would be a window to play Mondays game though the storm was expected to hit the ballpark around game time. It wasnt raining at 7:10, the time of the scheduled first pitch, but the rain began a few minutes later. The game surprisingly was called after just a 20-minute delay because the forecast changed and the rain was supposed to last longer. The extra time off was probably welcome for Albert Pujols, who is dealing with a groin injury, but was in the lineup Monday at first base. "He feels good," Scioscia said of Pujols. "Its not really anything thats muscular or anything were worried about being a pull. Its really just something . the way it was described our medical staff, its more of a lymph node or just a little infection that got a little irritated. "It shouldnt be anything thats gonna impact what he needs to do." Pujols was in Monday nights starting lineup set to hit third and play first base. NOTES: White Sox 1B Jose Abreu, tied for the MLB lead in homers with 25, has found himself at the centre of Home Run Derby speculation, but the rookie slugger remained mysterious on his possible participation. "Im more concentrated on helping the team right now," he said. ... RHP Fernando Salas (shoulder) threw 25 pitches during a bullpen session Sunday and could be activated as early as Wednesday. "Hes gonna throw a bullpen (Tuesday) and then be evaluated," Scioscia said. "He felt really good after his pen on Sunday." ... Asked before the game whether RHP Jason Grilli, acquired from Pittsburgh on Friday, would be his new closer, Scioscia said: "Well keep Joe Smith there until we get everything sorted out. Jason will be part of our back end and well see." Miles Boykin Ravens Jersey . "Well over 50 (per cent)," coach Claude Noel said Tuesday after practice, where the Jets were looking at ways to cut down the scoring chances theyve been giving away. Jaylon Ferguson Ravens Jersey .

Thornton emerged as one of the leagues best defensive ends against the run in 2013. The former undrafted free agent from Division II Southern Arkansas led Philadelphias linemen with 78 tackles and had one sack.The two best teams in the Canadian Football League are the Calgary Stampeders and the Saskatchewan Roughriders. They are the two best not because of any perimeter player but due to the offensive line of scrimmage players, the lineman. To date Calgary has only given up a league-best 12 quarterback sacks and the next best, Saskatchewan, has allowed only 22. It is true that quarterbacks limit sacks by getting rid of the football quickly. Running backs who block blitzing linebackers help too, and receivers who adjust to open areas are the first two elements, but to pass protect you need very good guards, tackles and a smart centre. Saskatchewan and Calgary have the best. In the run game no one can run the football better than Saskatchewan. They are No. 1 and use three backs to get it done - Anthony Allen, Will Ford and Jerome Messam. The second-best running team? Calgary. They at one time depended on five running backs but now that Jon Cornish is back they only need one, Jon Cornish. Dave Dickenson for Calgary and George Cortez for Saskatchewan do the play calling and if not for that commitment to that element of football you cant perform in the run game but they dont create the collisions. You can also make an argument that the Stamps and Riders have the best two defensive lines, but I will wait for a little later in the season before I make that statement. Week 11 started with BC and Ottawa and 7 to 5 was the final score. You gotta be kidding. Football is only entertaining when certain aspects of the game are present or avoided. It is a great game when there are a limited amount of penalties, very few two-and-outs for both offences and some drama as to who is going to win throughout the fourth quarter, especially in the last three minutes. But more than anything the more the lead changes, the better. When one team takes the lead in points, then the other, then the other again the game is great. But at 7-5, not so great. Last Friday was the lowest scoring game since 1979 and I hope it never happens again. The fan response in Ottawa has been very good and I hope it continues. And hopefully the fans in the stands can watch a 41-34 game and see the Redblacks win as Calgary did against Edmonton on Saturday night. Three times now this year the Stampeders have beaten Edmonton. In Week 5, Calgary 26, Edmonton 22 in Edmonton. Week 11, Calgary 28, Edmonton 13 in Calgary and last Saturday in Edmonton agaain, Calgary won 41-34. Baltimore Ravens Jerseys. Now Edmonton can rationalize the losses away by saying in the first one we self imploded with six turnovers and in the other two we did not have our starting quarterback Mike Reilly. That is what I would do, rationalize. But truth is these two teams will most likely meet in the playoffs at some point and Calgary has the psychological edge of confidence over Edmonton and confidence is critical in winning football. Yes by the time November rolls around what happens in September means very little, or does it? This is the first real adversity to hit Edmonton all year as in the first half of the season all fell into place very smoothly. Now with two straight losses the invincibility attitude is no longer present. In Montreal they played two different games. The first one only lasted 30 minutes and Hamilton won 21-7. In the second one Montreal won 31-10. And that made the final 38-31 Montreal. I thought both quarterbacks took steps forward to become the guy for their respective organizations. Zack Collaros had some great moments, mainly in the first half, and Jonathan Crompton had some great moments, mainly in the second half. This situation in the East is bizarre, humorous and disturbing. The best team in the East has three wins in Toronto, the worst team in the East has one win in Ottawa and were about to start Week 12. Do I have an explanation? Yes, but it is not anything you have not heard before. I have followed CFL football closely my entire life and I have never witnessed a set of circumstances like this in East/West relationship before. Bizarre. And finally, here is hoping both Darian Durant and Travis Lulay are going to be okay. For Lulay, it is his fourth direct shoulder injury as his first goes back to 2007. You could tell it was serious business as the arm could not support itself and needed support from others just to walk off the football field. With Durant you could tell right away due to the expression of pain in his face and in his body. Yes both are needed back as on field players as they are the leaders of their teams. But of greater significance the injuries as they mount up limit or extinguish careers. Both of these CFL players are great people and you can never get enough great people in association with great players. Football is brutal. Here is wishing the best for both from I am sure I can say with confidence...everyone. ' ' '
