FOXBOROUGH, Mass. Originals Adidas NMD Uomo Nere/Bianche/Grigie High Top Sneaker . - Winning in front of thousands of friendly fans is routine for the New England Patriots — even when theyre playing 3,000 miles from home.The support of the crowd behind the New England sideline and the teams stingy defence helped the Patriots remain in command of the AFC with a win in San Diego.There was a sea of Patriots fans behind our bench. I dont think Ive ever quite seen that before, coach Bill Belichick said Monday. We had all those fans right behind us. They were loud and vocal.They cheered as New England beat the Chargers on Sunday night, 23-14, one week after a 26-21 loss in Green Bay.Belichick gave his players the day off Monday to go with their usual day off on Tuesday because of what weve been through from a schedule standpoint, he said, where the team is physically, what we have coming up, the nature of the preparations for the next opponent.Two of their remaining three games are at home, where theyre 6-0 this season and 44-3 in their last 47 regular-season games.The Patriots (10-3) had gotten used to their West Coast surroundings after flying straight to San Diego after the loss to the Packers that snapped a seven-game winning streak.This whole week, guys were hanging out with each other, and thats what you need, team unity, cornerback Darrelle Revis said, especially coming off that loss to Green Bay.The victory maintained the Patriots chances of gaining home-field advantage throughout the AFC playoffs.Theyre tied with Denver for the best record in the conference but hold the tiebreaker with their 43-21 win over the Broncos in Foxborough.Denver has road games at San Diego and Cincinnati then finishes at home against Oakland.New Englands remaining games are against AFC East opponents, at home against Miami, at the New York Jets and back home against Buffalo.Since 2010, the Patriots have lost consecutive games just twice.After a loss, nobody likes that feeling, said Brandon Bolden, who set up a touchdown Sunday by blocking a punt. We especially dont like that feeling, so everybody just takes it on their shoulders and says, we have to go out there and do better.The Patriots have improved greatly since their 33-20 loss at Miami in the opener in which the defence allowed three touchdowns. In the last four games — against playoff contenders Indianapolis, Detroit, Green Bay and San Diego — the defence has allowed a total of five touchdowns.With second-year linebacker Jamie Collins taking over signal-calling duties from injured Donta Hightower, the Patriots allowed just 216 yards and held the Chargers to four conversions on 13 third-down plays. Against Green Bay, the defence was much worse. The Packers gained 478 yards and were 10-for-17 on third downs.Three in-season pickups, linebackers Akeem Ayers and Jonathan Casillas and defensive tackle Alan Branch, played well.All three of those players have definitely helped us, both with their playing time, their performance and Id say the rapid pace at which theyve picked things up, Belichick said.Defensive tackle Sealver Siliga, playing his first game after being activated from the injured reserve list with a designation to return, also contributed.Those four guys, collectively, getting them all on the field (Sunday) night was a big boost for us, Belichick said. Those guys have really come in and done not only what we needed them to do, but probably more.Top pass rusher Chandler Jones has missed the past six games with a hip injury and linebacker Jerod Mayo went on injured reserve after the sixth game.Jones and Hightower were on the sideline cheering on their teammates.In the stands behind them, fans in Patriots jerseys joined in the support.The Patriots travel well, New England cornerback Brandon Browner said. That was awesome.___Online: http://pro32.ap.org/poll and http://twitter.com/AP_NFL Donna Mint Verdi Adidas Yeezy Boost 350 Scarpe .C. - Jaedon Descheneau scored a hat trick as the Kootenay Ice beat the Medicine Hat Tigers 7-4 to take a 3-1 lead in their Western Hockey League playoff series Thursday.

LOUIS - Allen Craig was sore a day after his base-running adventure to end Game 3 of the World Series, but the Cardinals expect him to be available.(SportsNetwork.com) - Postseason baseball returns to the Steel City for the first time in 21 years on Tuesday when Justin Moreau, Russell Martin and the Pittsburgh Pirates host Joey Votto and the Cincinnati Reds in the National League wild card game at PNC Park. There have been over 600 playoff games contested in Major League Baseball since the Pirates lost to the Atlanta Braves in Game 7 of the 1992 NL Championship Series. None of those games, though, have included the Pirates, who are back in the postseason for the first time since their last winning season way back in 1992. This will be the first playoff game in Pittsburgh since Game 5 of that 1992 NLCS. "Thats a long wait," said Pirates second baseman Neil Walker. "Our focus is winning games and series, and we play for each other more than anything else. But we also play for the city and the fans. After teasing its fans with two straight second half collapses, Pittsburgh put it all together this season behind NL MVP candidate Andrew McCutchen and ended the year, 94-68. The Pirates spent a good deal of time atop the NL Central and were 26 games above .500 on Aug. 8. However, they were a .500 team in 48 games after that, but won five of six to close the campaign. In fact the Pirates cemented their season by sweeping the Reds over the weekend to secure homefield advantage for the wild card game, outscoring their NL Central foes, 16-6 in the process. "Itll be electric," Bucs outfielder Marlon Byrd said. "This city, its sports fans ... they love their sports. Theyve had their Steelers and their Penguins, and have been waiting on their Pirates. And here we come. "We wanted to make sure were able to bring it back to Pittsburgh. One game. Now its time to get it done." Pittsburgh had five All-Stars at this years Midsummer Classic, but none shined brighter than McCutchen, who continued to state his case as one of the best young players in the game. McCutchen hit .317 with 21 home runs, 84 RBI, 27 stolen bases, a .404 on-base percentage and .508 slugging percentage in 157 games. He became just the fourth major league center fielder since 1947 to have consecutive seasons of hitting .300 with a .400 slugging percentage and .500 on-base-plus-slugging percentage, joining Mickey Mantle, Willie Mays and Ken Griffey Jr. In addition to the great McCutchen, a big reason behind the Pirates success was the man that will be taking the ball on Tuesday, left-hander Francisco Liriano. Signed as a free agent this winter, Liriano missed the first month of the season recovering from a broken arm, but showed no ill effects of the injury upon his return and ended the year, 16-8, while pitching to a 3.02 ERA. Liriano, the Pirates first postseason starter since Doug Drabek, struggled against the Reds, going 0-3 with a 3.70 ERA against them in four starts. However, the Dominican hurler was terrific at PNC Park, where he has just one loss in 11 starts (8-1) with a sparkling 1.49 ERA. Pittsburgh, as a team, was 50-31 in front of its fans this season. While the Pirates are back in the postseason for the first time in over two decades, Cincinnati is making its third appearance in four years after going 90-72. Uomo/Donna Yeezy Boost 350 Oxford Tan Adidas Scarpe. Like Pittsburgh, the Reds were in cruise control for the better part of September, despite being six games back in the NL Central as late as Aug. 10. Still and all, Cincinnati essentially knew it would be postseason bound in some capacity after taking three of four from Arizona from Aug. 19-22. The Reds, though, enter the postseason riding a five-game losing streak after losing three straight home games to the Pirates. "Youve got to block it out," manager Dusty Baker said of the rough finish. "Its a situation where its a new season. What you did previously, it doesnt matter. What you didnt do previously doesnt matter. Now you start the season all over." Cincinnati has something to prove this October after an awful collapse in last years NLDS. The Reds had won the first two games of that series with the San Francisco Giants, only to lose the final three at home in the best-of-five set to the eventual World Series champions. Johnny Cueto made only eight pitches in that series before leaving Game 1 with a strained oblique and will take the ball for the Reds Tuesday following an injury-plagued 2013 that saw him make three trips to the disabled list. "Its a really meaningful game for me," Cueto said via translator Tomas Vera. "This is the most important game of the season. All I have to do is keep doing my job. Baseball is still the same. I hope to do what I have to do." After missing 2 1/2 months with a lat strain Cueto returned to make two starts late in the season and allowed just one earned run in 12 innings. He ended his year 5-2 with a 2.82 ERA. "Im going to be normal. Im going to be the same guy," Cueto said. "What happened to me in San Francisco, I was excited. I was so emotional for the game and I think I overdid it too much. I really dont know what happened that day or how I got to that point." As bad as Liriano was against the Reds this season, Cueto has been the exact opposite versus Pittsburgh, posting a 13-4 lifetime mark against the Pirates with a 2.37 ERA in 21 starts. "They have a great team," Cueto said. "They have really good players so Im going to have to do my job as well." The matchup between Cueto and Liriano is just the third in postseason history between two starting pitchers from the Dominican Republic. In both 1999 and 2004, Pedro Martinez faced off against Bartolo Colon. "I want to tell my people in the Dominican Republic to follow this game," Cueto said. "There are two Dominicans on the mound. I want to give advice to all the youth in the Dominican that you have to work hard and continue working hard to do things like this." The Pirates took 11 of their 19 meetings with the Reds, including five of the nine matchups in Pittsburgh. Tuesdays winner will face NL Central champion St. Louis in the NLDS beginning on Thursday.
