LOS ANGELES, Calif. - Los Angeles Lakers rookie forward Julius Randle is expected to miss the rest of the season after undergoing surgery on his broken right leg.The seventh overall pick out of Kentucky broke his leg in the fourth quarter of his NBA debut in Los Angeles season-opening loss to the Houston Rockets on Tuesday night. Randle was strapped to a wheeled stretcher and taken off the Staples Center court after colliding with two Rockets and landing awkwardly with 6:46 to play.Before Wednesdays game at Phoenix, the Lakers announced that Randles injury was just as serious as it appeared.Randles surgery was performed by Dr. Donald Wiss at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center. He is expected to make a full recovery, but the Lakers anticipate he wont play this season.I think were all a little shocked by it, disappointed, hurt, all those things are probably going through all our minds, Lakers coach Byron Scott said before the tip-off against the Suns. I know I didnt get a lot of sleep just thinking about the young fella.The 19-year-old power forward was the SECs top freshman while helping Kentucky to reach the NCAA championship game last season. He was thrilled to be drafted by his favourite childhood team to play alongside Kobe Bryant, one of his idols.Scott said that after the game he spent time with Randle, just basically holding him and listening to him cry and trying to console him as much as possible,Bryant consoled Randle on the court and after the game in the Lakers locker room. Bryant made his own return Tuesday after missing the 2013 playoffs and all but six games last season with two major injuries.Even for myself, being a veteran, seeing someone going through something like this is tough, Bryant said. But thats what were here for. Were here to be his teammates and help him through it, take it day by day. ... He was progressing just fine. He was improving leaps and bounds.Scott said there was nothing violent about the play that resulted in Randles injury.He got bumped in midair but it wasnt like he collided with anybody, Scott said. It just kind of looked like his left foot kind of kicked his right leg and he comes down and he just grabbed his leg. I dont know if it was a freak accident or what but it was something that just didnt look that bad to end up being as bad as it is.After Randle recovered from a broken right foot late in his high-school career in the Dallas area, he appeared to be a budding star while averaging 15.0 points and 10.4 rebounds per game as a freshman at Kentucky. He had 24 games with at least 10 points and 10 rebounds, the most in the nation and the second-most by a freshman in Division I history.Randle also won fans in Los Angeles for his humble approach to his NBA career and his devotion to his mother, Carolyn Kyles. He chose No. 30 for his uniform because his mother wore it for her college team.Everybody on the team loves Julius, Scott said. Hes a great kid, worked his butt off. We expected a lot from him this year so the guys are going to miss him.Randle and Steve Nash already have been ruled out for the season by the Lakers, who led the NBA with 319 man-games lost to injury last year during their worst season in a half-century.Three other Lakers — Wayne Ellington, Ryan Kelly and Nick Young — also missed their opener with injuries. That means the Lakers already are guaranteed to miss 166 games due to injury this season before they play their second game Wednesday night at Phoenix.Young is expected to be out until December after surgery on a torn thumb ligament, but Ellington and Kelly could be healthy soon.Randle played one more game in what was supposed to be his rookie season than Blake Griffin, another high-profile power forward chosen with a high draft pick by a Los Angeles team. Griffin missed the entire 2009-10 season with the Clippers after breaking his left kneecap in their final preseason game while landing after a dunk.___AP sports writer Bob Baum in Phoenix contributed to this report. Cheap NFL Jerseys For Sale . - Bryan Price sat down in the cushy chair. Wholesale NFL Jerseys . Yup, he definitely needed this one. Craig homered twice and had three RBIs Wednesday night to lead the St. Louis Cardinals to a 7-2 victory over the Pittsburgh Pirates. Craig went 4 for 5 and Yadier Molina added three hits for the Cardinals, who salvaged the final game of a three-game set in hopes of staying within shouting distance of front-running Milwaukee in the NL Central. http://www.cheapnfljerseysforshop.com/ .

The All Blacks played their best rugby of recent years when they beat South Africa 38-27 in Johannesburg two weeks ago, clinching the Rugby Championships in a match which has been hailed as one of the best ever played. NFL Jerseys China . Sami Vatanen had a goal and an assist and Anaheim used a four-goal first period to extend their winning streak to six games with a 5-2 win over the Detroit Red Wings on Tuesday night.The Seattle Mariners find themselves just a half game out of the second Wild Card spot in the American League, right behind Detroit and Kansas City, who also share the lead in the AL Central. The Blue Jays are in a more precarious spot, five games back with 26 left to play in the regular season. The Mariners surprised more than a few people last week when they signed their general manager Jack Zduriencik to a multi-year extension with a playoff spot still hanging in the balance. Its not as though the Mariners have been a "world beating" success under his reign. This is his sixth year at the helm and over these half dozen years, the Ms have only had two winning seasons. In 2009, they were 85-77 in Zdurienciks first year. They had four straight losing seasons after that with a high water mark of 75-87 in 2012. Now this year, they are sitting 10 games over .500 at 72-62 and are right in the thick of the playoff fight. Its interesting to look at what Alex Anthopoulos has done with the Blue Jays over a similar span. Anthopoulos came on a year after Zduriencik and like him, had an identical 85-77 record in his first year (2010). A .500 season and two losing campaigns followed before this years 69-67. Both men have had three managers. Anthopoulos inherited Cito Gaston in his first year, then had John Farrell for two years and now has John Gibbons in his second. Zduriencik started out with Don Wakamatsu (who later became a coach with the Jays), Eric Wedge (who either refused to resign with the club after last season or was pushed out) and now Lloyd McClendon. Over the five years Anthopoulos and Zduriencik have gone head-to-head, the Blue Jays overall record is slightly better at 382-402 to the Mariners 346-436. A teams attendance isnt solely under the control of the general manager, but it is an indicator of how exciting and competitive a team he has put together. Through this past Saturday or 67 home dates, the Jays attendance was 2,018,981 or an average of 30,134 per game, ranking 14th overall. On the other hand, the Mariners have drawn only 1,761,546 for an average of 21,747 and they play in a more appealing ballpark. That puts them 25th in the Majors. OOne other factor the Mariners have to deal with is having a Super Bowl-winning Seahawks team competing for the entertainment dollar.dddddddddddd The payroll comparison is an interesting one as well. When Zduriencik took over in Seattle in 2009, the club paid out $98,904,166 to the players. Today, the Ms Payroll is actually less at $90,239,643. The Blue Jays have seen their salary commitments go from $78,689,537 in 2010 to a franchise record $137,177,700 in 2014. The Jays attendance has been on the upswing as well the past three seasons, going from an average of 20,068 in 2010 to 31,315 in 2013. Considering the wealth of young pitchers the Blue Jays appear to have now, including Marcus Stroman, Drew Hutchison, Aaron Sanchez, Daniel Norris and Sean Nolin to name just a few, the organization appears to be in pretty good shape. Steve Simmons of Sun Media and TSNs the Reporter heard from his sources two weeks ago that Anthopoulos would be back next season and what is rumoured to be the final year of his contract. In light of what Seattle has done with Zduriencik, maybe the Blue Jays should be thinking extension as well. Playoff Update The question now isnt whether Oakland can win the AL West, its whether they can hold on to a playoff spot period. They have seven players on the DL and have fallen into a 6-14 slide. Theyre now five games ahead of Detroit and Kansas City and four and a half up on Seattle heading into a crucial series with the Mariners at home starting Labour Day. Minor Setback The Blue Jays Triple "A" affiliate in Buffalo put on a great push down the stretch to try and land a Wild Card berth, but they came up just short. The Bisons were officially eliminated on Sunday when they dropped a 4-3 decision at Syracuse. Lefty Daniel Norris, who could be joining the Blue Jays in September, pitched in relief for the first time with the club and hurled two shutout innings while striking out three. The Bisons went 19-12 in August, their best month in terms of victories since May of 2005. And get this, Buffalo used a franchise-record 73 players this season, and also made a record 238 roster moves. ' ' '
