massively meaningful games. That includes a Tuesday tilt with Toronto, against which he has a 14.09 ERA this season. It doesnt get more desperate than that.

India women 121 for 5 (Raj 73*, Amin 2-24) beat Pakistan women 104 for 6 (Maroof 25, Bisht 2-22) by 17 runsScorecard Indias dominance in the womens Asia Cup extended as they sealed their sixth title in as many editions with a 17-run win over Pakistan in Bangkok. Hector Rondon Jersey . It was the second consecutive time India had beaten Pakistan in an Asia Cup final, having done so in 2012-13 as well. The win also ensured India remained unbeaten in this years tournament, which was being played in the T20 format for the second time.It was Mithali Raj who set up the win, scoring an unbeaten 73 after India opted to bat and taking them to 121 for 5. The bowlers then sent down economical spells to choke Pakistan in the chase, restricting them to 104 for 6.Raj dominated almost every partnership she featured in. She started off by putting on 24 for the first wicket with Smriti Mandhana, who contributed just 6. After her dismissal, it was the turn of Sabbhineni Meghana to play second fiddle as she made 9 in a second-wicket stand of 44. Veda Krishnamurthy and Harmanpreet Kaur, the India captain, were also sent back for single-digit scores, before Jhulan Goswamis late cameo lifted India. Goswami pinged two sixes on her way to a 10-ball 17 before perishing off the penultimate ball of the innings. Raj had struck seven fours and a six in her 65-ball knock.Left-arm spinner Anam Amin topped the wickets column with 2 for 24 in four overs, while Sana Mir and Sadia Yousuf were economical in their respective quotas and took a wicket apiece.Pakistan scored at nearly a run a ball during the first half of the chase, but lost three wickets. Goswami had Ayesha Zafar bowled in the fifth over before Asmavia Iqbal fell in similar fashion in the next over, sent down by Shikha Pandey. Javeria Khan added 28 with captain Bismah Maroof, but could not make her start count as she was snuffed out by Ekta Bisht, the left-arm spinner, and Pakistan became 56 for 3. That third-wicket stand was the highest Pakistan could manage as regular wickets stalled them. Nida Dar and Mir made identical scores of 12 not out in late resistance, but both were kept quiet - neither scored a single boundary - as Pakistan fell short.Indias bowlers shared the wickets around. Bisht, who opened the bowling, took 2 for 22. Anuja Patil, Goswami, Pandey and Preeti Bose took a wicket apiece. Denis Menke Jersey . Rousey will put her perfect 8-0 record and hardware on the line against another undefeated fighter, 7-0 Sara McMann in the main event of UFC 170, which will be held at the Mandalay Bay Events Center in Las Vegas Nevada on February 22nd. Custom J. R. Richard Jersey . -- Eastern Kentucky thrives off creating havoc for others. http://www.customastrosjersey.com/custom...arge-1666y.html . Dallas hasnt ruled out the star quarterback for Sunday nights game against Philadelphia, but all signs point to Romos back injury pushing Kyle Orton into the starting role after two years of limited play as the backup. Surely Ortons name isnt the first that comes to mind for fans wanting a change after years of damaging interceptions, fumbles or, most infamously, the field goal flub when Romo dropped the snap on a kick that could have won his first playoff game in 2006. Thirty days has September, April, June and November -- except for when September has 35 days, like this year.Thats right, for a limited time only, the baseball gods have extended September to give us 17 percent MORE (MORE, MORe, MOre, More, more ...) pennant race baseball in the American League East. Or should I say, the AL Beast. Because starting on Aug. 29 and ending on Oct. 2, super-September is going to be a bear for the Toronto Blue Jays, Boston Red Sox and Baltimore Orioles (and the New York Yankees and Tampa Bay Rays, for that matter), as the three contenders in MLBs most contentious pennant race will take turns bludgeoning each other repeatedly during the final megamonth of the season.Over the next five weeks, Toronto plays a dozen games against Boston and Baltimore (six each), and Boston plays Baltimore seven times in what should be a supremely entertaining stretch run that will ultimately determine the division champion -- and possibly a wild card or two.Heres a preview of the pennant pugilism that awaits:TORONTO BLUE JAYSCurrent standing: 74-56, first placeHead-to-head history: 7-6 vs. Boston, 7-6 vs. BaltimoreWhy theyll flourish: A year after becoming the first team ever to score 12 million runs in a season (give or take), the Blue Jays offense is still pretty darned good (4.9 runs per game, second in the American League). But its their surprising starters that have been the difference-maker this season. Led by Cy Young contender J.A. Happ, Torontos starting five six boasts a 3.76 ERA, the best in the American League by a bunch. In fact, no other rotation has an ERA below four.Why theyll flounder: The Jays and Red Sox are practically twins. Both feature stacked offenses and solid rotations. Both have bullpen issues. Both have square-jawed 54-year-old skippers named John. So it could come down to the little things -- such as schedules. Aside from 13 games against the Yanks and Rays (Boston and Baltimore have that too), Toronto gets a seven-game West Coast swing featuring the Seattle Mariners and Los Angeles Angels, two teams that theyre a combined 2-4 against this season. The Red Sox head West too but get the gift that is the Oakland Athletics and San Diego Padres, while the Os host the Arizona Diamondbacks and visit the Detroit Tigers. Disadvantage, Blue Jays.X factor: Jose Bautista?has been banged up. Michael Saunders has cooled off. And since being acquired in a deadline deal, the artist formerly known as B.J. Upton has been, well, the artist formerly known as B.J. Upton. In other words, the outfield situation is less solid than dried ice. If Joey Bats can stay healthy and get back to doing Joey Bats things, itll go a long way toward helping the Jays become the first AL East team to make back-to-back postseasons since the Yankees in 2011 and 2012.Stat that matters: .914. Thats the current OPS of Edwin Encarnacion, whos on pace to finish above .900 again. If he does, hell join Mike Trout as the only AL players to do so (assuming Trout doesnt go in the tank) in each of the past five seasons.BOSTON RED SOXCurrent standing: 72-58, second place (two games behind); in possession of first AL wild cardHead-to-head history: 6-7 vs. Toronto, 6-6 vs. BaltimoreWhy theyll flourish: Lumber, lumber and more lumber. As ridiculous as the 2015 Toronto offense was, Bostons 2016 lineup is even more loaded. Their .815 OPS is more than 40 points higher than the next closest American League team (Baltimore). They have four guys among the ALs top 10 in hitting (Mookie Betts, Dustin Pedroia, David Ortiz and Xander Bogaerts). And apparenntly its contagious: Sandy Leon, a backup catcher with a . Blake Taylor Jersey. 187 career average entering this season, is slashing .349/.406/.580. No, really.Why theyll flounder: With an offense like Bostons, getting the lead isnt a problem. Holding it? Thats another story. Injuries to Carson Smith, Koji Uehara and Craig Kimbrel have crippled the Red Soxs pen, which ranks 11th in the AL in ERA (3.94) and 13th in walk rate (9.5 percent). Kimbrel is back and filthy as ever, but minus Uehara, the setup situation is shakier than the camerawork in a Paul Greengrass movie. So shaky, in fact, that Boston was considering bringing back old friend Jonathan Papelbon. Yikes. Instead, it looks like they might try Clay Buchholz. Double yikes.X factor: Uehara, who strained a pectoral muscle on July 19, threw a 53-pitch bullpen session on Sunday. That would seem to suggest that a September return isnt out of the question. A fully convalesced Koji could cure the pens pain ... or not. Prior to going on the shelf, Uehara served up a whiplash-inducing eight gopher balls in 36 innings.Stat that matters: 0.75. Thats?David Prices WHIP over his past three starts. During those three outings, Price?is 3-0 with a 1.35 ERA and hasnt allowed more than two earned runs in any of them, marking the first time this season that Bostons ace has gone three straight starts allowing two earned runs or fewer. Translation: Price is peaking when it counts.BALTIMORE ORIOLESCurrent standing: 71-59, third place (three games behind); two games up for second AL wild cardHead-to-head history: 6-7 vs. Toronto, 6-6 vs. BostonWhy theyll flourish: Law of averages says theyre due. The all-or-nothing Os offense set an MLB record for most home runs in June, when they went yard 56 times, and led the majors in batting (.300) and scoring (6.6 runs/game). Since then, the Birds bats have been quieter than a mime in outer space, producing just 4.1 runs a game after the beginning of July (12th in the AL). To make it back to the postseason for the third time in three years, Baltimores offense must bust out again down the stretch.Why theyll flounder: The starting rotation was already, um, challenged. And that was before ace Chris Tillman hit the disabled list with shoulder issues. Things have gotten so bad that Ubaldo Jimenez -- who was banished to the bullpen after being the worst starter in baseball before the break -- is now being asked to pitch massively meaningful games. That includes a Tuesday tilt with Toronto, against which he has a 14.09 ERA this season. It doesnt get more desperate than that.X factor: Historically indestructible center fielder Adam Jones, who turned 31 earlier this month, has been banged up this season (oblique, back) and is having hamstring issues at the exact wrong time. A key contributor on both sides of the ball -- not to mention a five-time All-Star -- Jones is essential to have in the lineup for the Os to stand a chance at overcoming their wreck of a rotation.Stat that matters: 5.07. After posting a 3.12 ERA during the first half (second in the AL), Baltimores bullpen -- which was crucial in carrying the club earlier this season -- is running on fumes. Since the All-Star break, Os relievers have a 5.07 ERA that ranks 29th in the majors.Prediction: Toronto wins the division, Boston gets a wild card and Baltimore gets to take the month of October off -- or at least the last 29 days of it.Scott Lauber contributed reporting to this story.?
