BOSTON – Its easy to get caught up in small sample sizes and to envision a player excelling in a role in which hes spent far too little time performing at a high level. But theres something about Brandon Morrows weekend at Fenway Park thats hard to ignore. Throwing out of the bullpen, Morrow made his return from a four-month absence with a torn tendon sheath in his right index finger on Friday night. It was hard to ignore his fastball, which topped out at 99 miles per hour. The delivery was “free and easy,” as they like to say, and he worked to four batters, stranding a softly hit single. The next night, pitching in back-to-back games, Morrows velocity didnt suffer and he worked a quick inning. Morrow wants to be a starting pitcher in 2015. The Blue Jays hold a $10-million option on his services for next season. Its an option that likely wont be picked up because its a pricey number for a pitcher whos missed significant time in each of the last three seasons. If the option is declined, Morrow can become a free agent. While free to negotiate with the Blue Jays, he could leave town if he finds a club willing to give him a shot in its starting rotation. The Jays have Marcus Stroman, Aaron Sanchez and Drew Hutchison penned into the rotation next season. J.A. Happ has a team-friendly $6.2-million option, which should be picked up. Mark Buehrle and R.A. Dickey are possible trade candidates, although the Jays likely would have to eat part of Buehrles $19-million price tag in order to move him. There doesnt, at the moment, appear to be a fit for Morrow in the Jays rotation. Expect a full court press to attempt to convince the 30-year-old to take up relieving full-time. “Hes certainly responded well out of the bullpen in his first three outings in the minor leagues and here,” said pitching coach Pete Walker. “The velocitys been tremendous. You know, power arm, right now 98-99 (miles per hour). He certainly feels good, bouncing back, feeling great each day right now.” Morrow broke into the big leagues as a reliever with the Seattle Mariners. He saved 16 games over the 2008 and 2009 seasons. His slider command hasnt come back yet, but theres no reason it wont. A few more outings like the first two hes had this month and Morrow, perhaps, could be convinced to give late-game relief a shot. Hes got closers stuff. Factoring in the difficulty he had recovering, at times, in between starts and that he didnt throw side sessions in order to preserve his arm, the short-man route could be Morrows best shot at prolonging his career. Theres also good coin to be made. “The two pitches together (fastball and slider), late in the game, are pretty dominating,” said Walker. “Certainly, for him, its a possibility down the road to look at the relieving end of it whether he wants to or not. I know he still wants to start. Im sure theres still going to be opportunity there, but he certainly looks good in a relief role right now.” KAWASAKIS PREGAME Munenori Kawasaki spent a half-hour before Sundays game engaging fans and incorporating them into his preparation. He brought his tote bag down the left-field line and, one by one, took out the elements inside. As he stretched, he chatted with the assembled mass. Then he played catch, first with a baseball and then with a football, with kids lined along the front row seats. “I need practice,” said Kawasaki. “I very appreciate. Fans are very important.” His workout routine complete, Kawasaki signed autographs and posed for photos. At one point, he took a photo with an infant baby and then held the baby, rocking the child back and forth as the parents looked on. Its been said here before, the reason the 33-year-old is so popular with fans is because, in a game that so often is a business, he brings a childlike joy to work. Kawasaki seems to appreciate each moment. With the NFL schedule in full swing on Sunday, Kawasaki said hell be rooting for the defending Super Bowl champions. Theres a good reason: hes a former Mariner. “My favourite team is the Seattle Seahawks,” said Kawasaki. “Because two years ago, I lived in Seattle. Very beautiful. One time, I went to go to the game.” Pedro Martinez Jersey .ca. Mr. Fraser, It looks like Martin Brodeur is coming back to play for the Blues. I was wondering if you have any great stories or fond memories of your time on the ice with Brodeur - in the NHL, or maybe even the Olympics. Jacob deGrom Jersey . "Well over 50 (per cent)," coach Claude Noel said Tuesday after practice, where the Jets were looking at ways to cut down the scoring chances theyve been giving away. http://www.metsbaseballauthentic.com/dwi...mets-jersey/.ca. Mr. Fraser, I think everyone would like to hear your opinion on what sort of suspension Zac Rinaldo should get. His comment after the game of I changed the whole game, man. Lenny Dykstra Jersey . There are some early surprises in the race for the Hart Trophy, but two of the contenders are the leagues biggest stars over the past decade. There are many more players in contention for the awards than just the three that Ive named, and a good or bad week can easily alter the landscape, but through the first 20 or so games of the NHL season, this is how the awards races look to me. Gary Carter Jersey . - UFC 178, previously announced for Sept.(Sports Network) - A visit to Toronto may be just what the doctor ordered for Mariano Rivera and the New York Yankees. The Yankees try to get themselves back into the postseason mix on Tuesday when they kick off a three-game series with the Toronto Blue Jays at Rogers Centre. New Yorks postseason hopes took a huge hit over the weekend, as it dropped all three games to the Boston Red Sox, including a 9-2 shellacking in Sundays finale at Fenway Park. Ivan Nova (8-5) was knocked out in the fifth inning after allowing five runs -- four earned -- on six hits and four walks to suffer his first loss since July 27. "It hurts," Nova said. "Its bad, especially when you see the teams ahead of you lose and you want to get a win for the team. Unfortunately I couldnt get it today. Thats the worst part." To make matters worse Alex Rodriguez, who is already dealing with a hamstring issue, left the game with a tight right calf and is questionable for the start of this series. New York has lost seven of its last 11 games and finds itself 2 1/2 games back of the second wild card spot in the American League. But now it goes up against the Blue Jays, a team that it has beaten in 13 of 16 matchups this season. On Tuesday, the Yankees will turn to veteran lefty Andy Pettitte, who is 10-9 with a 4.04 ERA. Pettitte did not receive a decision for a third straight start on Wednesday in Baltimore, as he allowed three runs and nine hits in 6 1/3 frames of his teams 5-4 win. &qquot;Its just battle; figure out a way," Pettitte said after that outing.dddddddddddd "Weve been doing it all year. Were going to continue to do it. Were going to continue to push through this and no matter how you lose a game here or there, its not over until were eliminated, as far as Im concerned." Pettitte has faced the Blue Jays 47 times (46 starts) and is 25-13 with a 3.94 ERA. Toronto, meanwhile, will counter with the National Leagues reigning Cy Young Award winner, R.A. Dickey, who has won his last three decisions and is 12-12 with a 4.36 ERA. Dickey did not get a decision on Wednesday against the Los Angeles Angels, as he gave up four runs and seven hits in 5 1/3 innings of a 5-4 loss. Since the start of August, Dickey is 4-1 with a 3.56 ERA after compiling a 4.66 ERA over the seasons first four months. Dickey is 4-3 in 13 games (7 starts) against the Yankees with a 3.22 ERA. Toronto heads into Tuesday having lost five of its last six after dropping two of three to the Baltimore Orioles over the weekend that culminated with a 3-1 loss on Sunday. Mark Buehrle (11-9) gave up three runs -- two earned -- on six hits and three walks in five innings for Toronto, which finished 0-for-9 with runners in scoring position and stranded 11. "It was a battle all day," Buehrle said. "I wasnt very pleased with myself." Since 2001, Toronto has won the head-to-head matchup with New York just one time, going 10-8 against the Yanks in 10.
