Some are skinny. Some are beyond bigger than mini. Moist hands shake with every second that ticks by. A lifetime of work for this one chance. One day represents the opportunity of a lifetime for 256 young men. As the brown haired man slowly makes his way across the bright stage Will Grier Jersey , thousands of men tense up, while millions more break out the popcorn and look forward to what could be the future of their team for the next decade plus. The stage is set, the cameras are on, the man in the perfectly tailored suit clears his throat and utters the words everyone has been waiting months for: "Hello and welcome everyone, to this year's NFL Draft!"While many of the players that end up being selected in the later rounds of the draft bite the nails entirely off of their fingers while they wait, the majority of the players selected in the first round of the draft know that they are going to go http://www.panthersauthorizedshops.com/authentic-christian-miller-jersey , at the latest, in the second round. Over the past 20 drafts, the Philadelphia Eagles have made some eye-popping moves, while they have also drafted players that have put fans to sleep. From Mike Mamula to Carson Wentz, the following is a ranking of the Philadelphia Eagles' last 20 first round draft picks. Padres manager Andy Green is trying not to get too excited about San Diego’s run of success. His players seem to be enjoying it, though.
Eric Lauer carried a shutout into the sixth inning Jordan Scarlett Jersey , Manuel Margot had three hits and the Padres beat the St. Louis Cardinals 4-2 on Wednesday night to win their fifth straight series.
San Diego has won 11 of 15 games, including five of its last seven. It’s the first time the Padres have won five consecutive series since 2010.
”It means we’re playing good baseball and that’s the most important thing,” said shortstop Freddy Galvis, who sparked the attack with a two-run double in the first inning.
Marcell Ozuna homered for the Cardinals, who have lost three of four.
Green warned his players about staying on an even keel heading into a four-game series in Atlanta.
”I don’t want to make too much out of the streak,” Green said. ”Over the course of a season David Montgomery Jersey , every team has some hot streaks and cold streaks. You can’t get caught up in those moments. It doesn’t serve the purpose.”
The Padres took two of three in a stadium where they had struggled. St. Louis had won 30 of its previous 42 home games against San Diego.
Lauer (3-4) gave up two runs and eight hits over 5 2/3 innings. He’s 3-0 when getting two or more runs of support.
”I felt a lot more comfortable out on the mound as far as not pressing,” Lauer said. ”I think I did a good job. I was out there just throwing my game.”
Lauer gave up six runs to St. Louis on seven hits during a 9-5 loss on May 11. The Cardinals hit four homers off him in a short 2 1/3 inning stint.
”I pretty much had the same game plan, I wanted to attack hitters,” Lauer said.
Brad Hand recorded his 21st save in 23 opportunities. He got Jedd Gyorko to ground into a double play after hitting Yadier Molina to start the ninth.
San Diego reliever Jose Castillo struck out all four batters he faced. The Padres pitching staff did not walk a batter in the three-game series.
St. Louis starter Luke Weaver (3-6) gave up four runs and nine hits over 5 1/3 innings. He has just one win over his last 11 starts.
”I didn’t think it was a terrible start,” Weaver said. ”They just capitalized on the moments they needed to. I’ve just got to go back to the drawing board.”
Margot, who singled in the second and fourth http://www.bearsauthorizedshops.com/authentic-riley-ridley-jersey , stretched the lead to 3-0 with a run-scoring triple in the sixth. Raffy Lopez followed with a broken-bat single off reliever Austin Gomber for a 4-0 lead.
Margot has hit safely in his last six games, going 9 for 20. He had two hits in a 4-2 win Tuesday.
Ozuna, who leads the team with 21 multihit games, has hit safely in 11 of his last 12.
St. Louis came into the series having won three of four.
”Sometimes we do our best with a real good team and sometimes – well I don’t know,” Ozuna said. ”It’s baseball and in baseball anything happens.”

The Cardinals have not allowed an error in their last six games. It is their longest errorless stretch since Aug. 3-8 last season.
