hat was a weird one, I dont understand that,\' manager Ryan Nels

TORONTO -- Former starting goalie Stefan Frei may finally get his chance to play next week for Toronto FC in place of the suspended Joe Bendik. Cameron Jordan Nike Jersey . Frei has not started an MLS game since Sept. 24, 2011, when Toronto was beaten 3-0 by Chivas USA. The 27-year-old Swiss-born keeper missed all of last season with an ankle and leg injury suffered in training. Then, having endured a long recuperation, he lost his job to Bendik after breaking his nose in the first game of the 2013 pre-season. Bendik, a fiery and dependable shot-stopper, has been one of the bright lights in Torontos 5-16-11 season. But he received a second yellow card at the end of Torontos 1-0 loss to Philadelphia last Saturday and will have to sit out a game in Chicago on Oct. 19. Toronto has a bye this weekend. Bendik was yellow-carded in the 86th minute for time-wasting as he prepared a goal kick. After the game ended, he got another yellow when he went to talk to the referee. Philadelphia scored on a 95th-minute free kick by Brazils Kleberson to win 1-0. "That was a weird one, I dont understand that," manager Ryan Nelsen said Tuesday of the ejection. "Mind-boggling how he got the first (card). And then I think the second (card) was more that he was asking about how it took them (Philadelphia) two minutes to celebrate the goal and then he (referee Armando Villarreal) called the game before the six minutes (stoppage time) was up. "So he was just asking why blow (the whistle) so quickly, which is a fair question. But generally when you ask those type of questions, you get those type of responses. Unfortunately we wont have Joe available." Villarreal handed out seven yellow cards and a straight red (to Phialdelphias Fabinho). Toronto has no shortage of goalies behind Bendik with Frei, Chris Konopka and Quillan Roberts. With 81 starts under his belt, the 28-year-old Frei has the most experience. But he is widely expected to be on his way out. His contract, worth a hefty US$200,000 this season, is expiring and the club is committed to Bendik, who more than likely will get a new deal to reward his No. 1 status. Bendik is making a bargain $46,500 this year. The team acquired Konopka in a deal with the Philadelphia Union last month. The six-foot-five keeper, who also makes $46,500, is expected to be Bendiks backup next season. In the case of fullback Richard Eckersley, another TFC player seen on his way out from the club due to a high salary cap hit, Nelsen has opted to see what else he has available in recent weeks. That has opened up a starting spot for Mark Bloom. Still his early take is that Frei will get the start. "Well have to see how we go for the next two weeks but Stefans been in that (backup) position all season so at the moment its his." Nelsens hand may be forced given that Konopka was recovering from an injury prior to joining Toronto. "Hes close but probably not close enough," said Nelsen. Many fans see Frei as a loyal servant of the club who has endured a dreadful spell of bad luck. Nelsen was asked at a recent breakfast with supporters whether he would consider giving Frei one final start in the season finale for "a proper sendoff." Nelsen was diplomatic at the time, without committing to anything. Its not the kind of gesture that appeals to the ultra-competitive Nelsen, however. The Toronto manager may well have opted for Kopoka had he been healthy. But Konopkas health also gives Nelsen a reason to win some points by starting Frei. At 19, Roberts is seen as one for the future and will likely be loaned out to a USL team next season to get seasoning. Bendiks suspension follows a high note, at least. He is up for save of the week for a stop on Philadelphias Michael Farfan. Kleberson, meanwhile is up for goal of the week. The bye week comes at a good time for Toronto given that midfielders Bobby Convey (ankle), Darel Russell and Alvaro Rey (both quads) both were injured in the Philadelphia game. "They should be all right by Chicago but well keep an eye on them," said Nelsen. Toronto wraps up its season Oct. 26 at home to the Montreal Impact. Stanley Jean-Baptiste Saints Jersey .C. -- Theyll remember the OT from the first Syracuse-Duke game -- and the Ts that decided Round 2.http://www.saintsstore.us.com/Black-74-Tavon-Rooks-Womens-Jersey/ . Chris Wroblewski added 11 points and grabbed seven rebounds in the win for Cornell (10-18, 6-8 Ivy), while Anthony Gatlin finished with 10 points. Greg Mangano posted a game-high 18 points to lead the way for Yale (15-13, 8-6), which also saw 11 points from Austin Morgan.CHARLOTTE, N.C. - The dreaded day for the Bobcats is fast approaching: When Charlotte could earn the dubious distinction of becoming the worst team in NBA history. Guard Matt Carroll warned his teammates about it two weeks ago. He knew then if Charlotte didnt win a game it would risk becoming an historic embarrassment. If Charlotte loses its six remaining games the Bobcats will finish with the worst winning percentage in league history (.106), a dubious honour thats currently held by the 1972-73 Philadelphia 76ers, who finished 9-73 (.110.) "We are desperate to get a win," Carroll said. "No one wants to be known as the worst team in NBA history. Ive been talking about this with guys on the team for last two weeks telling them we at least need to get one more win. I think guys at first heard it but werent thinking it was going to happen. "But now everybody is aware it could happen, so we better get a win." It wont be easy. The Bobcats (7-53) host Chicago on Wednesday. After that they close this lockout-shortened season against Memphis, Sacramento, Washington, Orlando and New York. On paper, Washington, which has the second-worst record in the league, would seem to be the best chance at a win. But the Wizards hammered the Bobcats by 28 points just last week in Charlotte. The Bobcats, who are playing without leading scorer Corey Maggette, have shown no signs of being able to win a game and are mired in a franchise-record 17-game losing streak. On Sunday they lost by 12 to the Boston Celtics even though they rested star players Kevin Garnett, Paul Pierce and Ray Allen. The following night the Bobcats lost to a New Orleans Hornets team that sat its top two scorers in Eric Gordon and Chris Kaman. So Charlottes rallying call has become: Just win one, baby! "I would love to get a win — thats our goal," coach Paul Silas said. "We cant make open shots right now. We just have to keep fighting. You look at our roster and we are trying, but its awfully tough. "Its tough on the players, its tough on the coaches and its tough on the people upstairs" in management. Silas said the record losers is a title nobody wants their name associated with. http://www.saintsstore.us.com/Black-56-Ronald-Powell-Womens-Jersey/. "Nobody does but if it happens, it happens," Silas said. "You do the best you can. Somebody has that record now and they didnt want it either. But it happens. I just hope were not associated with it." Silas has tried to remain a positive, steadying force for the Bobcats. Hes been around some other bad NBA teams before but has always seems to persevere. "Thats just the way I am," Silas said. "Ive been through so many trying times in my life. To be where I am now its because you fight through it. If you become negative and cease to fight thats when youre going to lose — and Im not going to lose. And Im not going to let my players get to that point either." Carroll said team spirit is remarkably high considering the teams struggles this season. He said the difficult part is knowing the Bobcats let some games they should have won slip away, including a 75-67 loss to the Hornets on Monday night. Although other teams are sure to rest their stars down the stretch, Charlottes best chance to win might have come against the Hornets. "Theyre a good team, but we look at them as similar to us," said Bobcats guard Gerald Henderson. "This is a game we wanted to win. You look on the schedule and we felt like this was one we could really get. Thats why its even more frustrating." And more frustration could be ahead. The Bobcats, whove already clinched the worst record in the league this season, need to shoot better than 30 per cent — as they did against the Hornets — to have a remote chance to win. "The schedule is not going to get easier," Carroll said. "We have to believe were going to get one game coming up. It sounds silly to think lets win one game, but its kind of been that feeling all year. For us, its been hard to get one game all year." Getting one now is imperative to the Bobcats because the alternative is something they dont want to think about. "You never, ever, ever want that label of being the worst team," Carroll said. "Its just a bad thing." ' ' '
