Holbrook signalle

• Each week, The Reporters put their thumbs out to the good and the bad in the world of sports. Vernon Davis Jersey . This week, they discuss the Grey Cup in Toronto, the Canadian national womens soccer team, Alex Anthopoulos and the Toronto Blue Jays and the drama of the NHL lockout. Bruce Arthur, National Post: My thumb is up to the Grey Cup and not the game itself. The game itself was a bit of a turkey, but there was a real question as to whether Toronto could include Canada and have a Canadian Grey Cup in the biggest city. This has never been a CFL city. What happened this year was Toronto was a very worthy Grey Cup city and it brought the country together. Cathal Kelly, Toronto Star: My thumb is up to the Canadian national womens soccer team. I think the truly remarkable thing about that team was the bronze medal was great, but what made that special was a loss. It was a loss to the United States, that was the where were you moment of Canadian sport this year and I think that says something nice about us. Michael Farber, Sports Illustrated: My thumb is up to Alex Anthopoulos to remaking the Toronto Blue Jays. From the edge of irrelevance, they are now the favourite to win the World Series. The big deal with the Marlines for Reyes and Johnson and Buehrle and then getting R.A. Dickey – what a marvelous coup. Dave Hodge, TSN: Theres little doubt the dreaded NHL lockout has been Canadas no. 1 sports story, and I will happily say "thumbs up" to the latest developments if they represent the beginning of the end of said lockout. Otherwise, I can find only one other reason to say anything good about the lockout, and that was the Broadway-style entertainment it provided, in New York, on the Thursday night of Dec. 6th. That was the time the lockout was ending one minute until a voice-mail message that suggested the season might be ending the next minute. During an intermission fit for the Gershwin theatre, the audience awaited Bill Dalys delivery of the classic line about the "hill that the league would die on." Earlier, Don Fehr had been calm and his part was brief -- Gary Bettman took to the stage and raged like Lewis Black. For a couple of hours, lockout coverage was riveting. But that was it, and hopefully, well never see it again. Let them revive something else on Broadway next time. Anthony Davis Jersey . "Weve let them (the fans) down in the quality of the product," said Tom Anselmi, president and chief executive officer of Maple Leaf Sports & Entertainment. Aldon Smith Jersey . Pittsburgh began mailing out instructions to their season ticketholders on how to buy tickets for post-season games. http://www.shop49ersgear.us/tom-rathman-49ers-jersey/ . PETERSBURG, Fla. Colin Kaepernick Pink Jersey . -- Canadas James Hinchcliffe earned his first IndyCar podium finish Sunday thanks to his teammates mistake. Joe Montana Jersey . Garnett scored 18 points, grabbed 10 rebounds and remained unbeaten against his former team as the Boston Celtics beat the Timberwolves 104-94 on Wednesday night in Rajon Rondos return from a two-game suspension. ATLANTA -- The Atlanta Braves played their NL wild-card playoff game at Turner Field under protest after fans littered the field with trash over a disputed infield fly call that led to a 19-minute delay. Trailing 6-3 in the eighth inning Friday, the Braves appeared to catch a break when a fly ball to short left field dropped between St. Louis shortstop Pete Kozma and left fielder Matt Holliday after a mix-up over who had it. But just before the ball dropped, left field umpire Sam Holbrook signalled an automatic out because of the infield fly rule, designed to prevent a team from intentionally dropping a popup in order to get extra outs with more than one runner on base. Randy Moss Jersey. Instead of Atlanta having the bases loaded with one out, Andrelton Simmons was called out. The fans immediately started hurling cups and trash, covering the field. ' ' '
