Sonstiges » realize Im no Artur Szpilka or Chris Arreola. And when

In baseball, no matter how good youve been, you will eventually run into a pitcher or two with command of his best stuff. Saturday night in Lincoln, Neb., the Winnipeg Goldeyes ran head on into Lincoln Saltdogs starter Matt Bywater and their eight-game season-opening winning streak came to an abrupt end. Bywater pitched seven complete innings and allowed only one run on just three hits, while the Saltdogs put up single runs in the third and fourth and two more in the eighth and beat the Goldeyes 4-1. Its the first time the Goldeyes have lost since the final game of the 2012 regular season. Counting last years six-game playoff sweep, the Goldeyes had won 14 straight games and were off to an 8-0 start to open the 2013 campaign – all eight of those wins had come on a season-opening road trip to Grand Prairie, Amarillo and Lincoln. “Youre bound to lose a game eventually,” Goldeyes pitching coach Jamie Vermilyea told Paul Edmonds on the TSN 1290 post-game show. “But you really couldnt ask for a better start. We just have to come out tomorrow and start a new streak.” The Goldeyes were held to only three hits as Lincoln relievers P.J. Zocchi in the eighth and R.J. Rodriguez in the ninth shut down Winnipeg with no runs and four strikeouts. Winnipeg scored its only run in the second inning when Tim Smith hit a monster home run to give Winnipeg a 1-0 lead. Smith, Josh Mazzola and Luis Alen were the only Goldeyes to get hits against three Lincoln pitchers. “We came out and got an early lead and our starter Pete Gehle was pretty good,” said Vermilyea philosophically. Overall it wasnt a terrible game. Obviously we scored just one run and its going to be tough to win when you do that, but their starter pitched a great game. He had command of all his pitches and kept us off balance all night and you just have to tip your cap.” Bywater got the win and improved to 1-1 while Rodriguez picked up his fourth save. Gehle was the hard-luck loser, falling to 1-1. “Weve been on the road for two weeks now and guys are getting tired, no doubt about it,” said Vemilyea. “But, it doesnt matter all that much, well get back out there tomorrow and do it again.” Rookie Alex Capaul will start on Sunday, as the 8-1 Goldeyes wrap up their 10-game road swing. Winnipeg returns home to face the Laredo Lemurs in a three-game, home-opening series starting Monday night at Shaw Park. Veteran Matt Rusch, who flew home to Winnipeg on Saturday, will get the start for Winnipeg on Monday night. Adbert Alzolay Jersey .

Kyle Ryan Jersey . The Olympic champion curler and TSN curling analyst immediately went online to look at the Halls long list of honoured members. Thats when the enormity of the honour sunk in. Heavyweight Jarrell Big Baby Miller is outspoken, funny, big, fun to watch and carries dynamite in his fists. Hes just the kind of heavyweight who could excite the masses someday.Miller (17-0-1, 15 KOs) has been on a steady climb after dumping kickboxing for the sweet science and is slowly but surely making a name for himself among boxing fans.He has looked good in his three most recent bouts -- nationally televised knockouts of Nick Guivas, Donovan Dennis and Akhror Muralimov. They are not top contenders but they were reasonable opponents for Miller at this stage of his career and he dusted all of them.Miller will take another decent step up in opposition when he faces experienced gatekeeper Fred Kassi in a 10-round fight on Friday (Showtime, 10 p.m. ET/PT) in the main event of a ShoBox: The New Generation quadrupleheader at Rhinos Stadium in Rochester, New York.The 6-foot-4 Miller, 28, of Brooklyn, New York, is in a hurry to get to the top but has the durable Kassi (18-5-1, 10 KOs), 36, of New Orleans, standing in his way.Supposedly Fred Kassi is the most durable guy I have fought in my whole entire boxing career, Miller said. This is what they are saying and I tip my hat off to the guy. He has been in some fights where I thought he won and he ended up on the wrong side of the decision. When he fought other fighters, he had three weeks training camp, two weeks notice. He had two months to get ready for this. Im not a last-minute opponent. Hes going to come in ready and Im not about to underestimate him.I predict a fifth- [or] sixth-round knockout. I feel once he sees my size and my pressure and the speed that I bring with my footwork, its going to be game over for him. I know for a fact Im going to knock out Fred Kassi. Thats what I do, I take your heart, I take your soul, I take your ribs.Miller has taken some heat for his conditioning but said, humorously, that he changed things up for this training camp.Ive made some changes: less cheeseburgers, Miller said, despite weighing in at a career-high 296? pounds. I cut down from three cheeseburgers to one cheeseburger a day. Same thing, in the gym every day, not doing anything different. My main thing is my strength and my speed and we are going to see, come [Friday].Miller is calling out everybody of note in the heavyweight division. Hell need a couple of solid wins against known opponents before he is likely to get the big fights he wants but he said he is putting the division on notice.They better get motivated now because Im coming. Im hungry and Im motivated, Miller said. Showtime is having me on the main event on national television. Im telling you Im coming, and Im coming to stay. They better get ready.Im different to all the heavyweights out there. Im not chasing a payday. Im chasing a legacy.dddddddddddd. Im trying to change the layout. Im trying to change the game. Im trying to change my future and make history at the same time.Miller also had much to say about three of the divisions top names, world champion Tyson Fury as well as titleholders Deontay Wilder and Anthony Joshua, all of whom he said he wants to fight as soon as possible.On Fury: I like Tyson Fury. I still want to break his fingers in half but he is good for the sport of boxing and I feel like me and him for a main event will sell any arena out. He talks a lot of smack and he does back it up, but he is still a jokester and I am real. I will smash him if he tries to step on me in the press conference. I will knock him out, same way I will for everyone else.A fight between us two will be like Comedy Central on steroids. It would be bananas. It would sell out kind of like a [Floyd] Mayweather-[Manny] Pacquiao [fight]. I feel like we can capture the heavyweight division and put it back on the map, just because of the way he talks.On Wilder: Wilder is a wild man when he gets in that ring, but at the same time if you watch how he performs, he performs at a mediocre level against mediocre fighters. If you stick him to a world professional athlete, like myself or top guys, youll see him bring even more. Not saying he hasnt been in the ring with A-plus fighters yet, but you can see all his loopholes in his fighting style. Its just a matter of time before he gets really exposed and I hope it is with me because I want that behind.I want to fight Wilder. If he sees my style, if he sees my footwork, hell realize Im no Artur Szpilka or Chris Arreola. And when I get in there, well, most of my fights end up in knockouts. Im 100 percent power. Once I touch them, they are getting hurt.On Joshua: Joshua is overrated, overhyped. I am going to break that jaw of his. Definitely one of the weakest of the heavyweight champs. It comes down to the basics. You have a lot of guys that have a lot of punching power and basic skills and thats not enough. Joshua is a basic heavyweight, a one-two fighter.Id fight Joshua when the timing is right. I personally dont want to go and fight Joshua just because Im his next. I think that when the time is right, itll be me and him at the MGM Grand on pay-per-view. One of those super sweepstakes fights.Also on the card: lightweight prospect Mason Menard (31-1, 23 KOs) will face Bahodir Mamadjonov (19-2, 11 KOs), welterweight puncher Bakhtiyar Eyubov (10-0, 10 KOs) will face Karim Mayfield (19-3-1, 11 KOs) and bantamweight Antonio Nieves (16-0-1, 8 KOs) will face Alejandro Santiago (11-2-1, 3 KOs).
