LOS ANGELES, Calif. http://www.superstarsupercolor.fr/adidas-zx-700-homme-chaussures-82.html . - The last time the Los Angeles Dodgers faced the St. Louis Cardinals in the playoffs, Clayton Kershaw had a terrible outing and the Dodgers were bounced out of the post-season.A year later and a round earlier, Kershaw has a chance to erase the memories of that 9-0 loss in Game 6 when he starts Fridays NL Division Series opener against Adam Wainwright.Thats the hardest part about it. Your season ends, Kershaw said Thursday before the Dodgers worked out. It always hangs with you until your next start. I had to wait a long time for that next one.Kershaw is coming off another award-worthy regular season in which he went 21-3 and his 1.77 ERA led the major leagues for the fourth straight year. He was 10-2 with a 1.70 ERA at home, too.Wainwright hasnt been nearly as successful at Chavez Ravine. The right-hander is 1-3 with a 4.30 ERA in seven games, including six starts.I pay no mind to what happened in the regular season, Wainwright said. Obviously, Clayton had an amazing regular season and now we go to the post-season and its anybodys ballgame. This is one game for the rest of your lives every day, so well take that mindset and be ready.Wainwright had the third-best ERA in the National League at 2.38 this season, and was even better on the road at 1.72. But in a season in which Kershaw has been so dominant, the Cardinals ace cant help but be somewhat of an afterthought.Im more impressed that, what is he 26 years old, that hes had the career hes already had and is the pitcher he is already, the 33-year-old Wainwright said. Most times it takes a pitcher a few years to kind of break in and then he starts finding his own, and hes just been excellent from the very beginning.Kershaw missed a handful of starts with a bad back in April, and after pitching late into the post-season a year ago, the injury provided him some welcome rest. Manager Don Mattingly said the team was looking for ways to reduce Kershaws innings anyway, and the schedule kicked in some extra help late last month.I dont know if thats going to make a difference or not, Kershaw said. I feel pretty much the same health-wise as I did last year. Arm feels great. Strength, everything physically feels really good.The series opener is set to start in late afternoon with temperatures near 100 degrees forecast. Kershaw doesnt think the shadows that can affect pitchers and hitters will set in until a couple of hours later.Hopefully its the eighth inning by then and Im good to go, he said, laughing.The Dodgers deliberately chose to work out Thursday at 3:30 p.m. PDT to mimic the conditions theyll face at game time Friday.It will cool off as the game goes a little bit, Mattingly said.The Cardinals released their 25-player roster for the series on Thursday, leaving off veterans Jason Motte, former Dodger Mark Ellis and A.J. Pierzynski. All-Star catcher Yadier Molina will be backed up by Tony Cruz.Manager Mike Matheny said Michael Wacha, last years NCLS MVP who beat Kershaw twice in that series, will work out of the bullpen this time.We havent had him in that role all season. He gets it, he gets whats right now, whats going to be best for the club, Matheny said. We know he can go long, we know he can come in and get a big out if we needed him to.Mattingly confirmed Hyun-Jin Ryu will start Game 3 on Monday in St. Louis. It will be the first game hes pitched since coming out early on Sept. 9 because of left shoulder irritation, and his first career road playoff start.Ryu will be on an estimated pitch count of 100-110.That, obviously, would depend on how he gets there, if theres a bunch of battles trying to get there and how hes pitching, Mattingly said. But we dont feel like hes lost a ton of arm strength. Hes been through this once before a€” I think he missed 21 days or something, came back and threw really well.The Dodgers had yet to release their playoff roster by late afternoon. The deadline is Friday morning. http://www.superstarsupercolor.fr/homme-femme-adidas-neo-high-tops-noir-blanc-lumineux-rouge-chaussures.html . - John Elway is looking for a new coach after agreeing to part ways with John Fox following Denvers latest playoff meltdown.http://www.superstarsupercolor.fr/homme-femme-running-climachill-ride-boost-chaussures-noir-blanc.html . Right-hander Ricky Nolasco and the Twins agreed to terms on a free-agent contract Wednesday, a person with knowledge of the deal told The Associated Press. CHICAGO -- For the Cincinnati Reds, there was no better place to open a 10-game trip than Wrigley Field. Alfredo Simon lowered his ERA to 0.86, and the Reds beat the Chicago Cubs 4-1 Friday for their 16th win in their last 17 games at the Friendly Confines. Making his third start, Simon (2-1) allowed an unearned run in six-plus innings and sent the Cubs to their fifth straight loss. Simon, in the rotation while Mat Latos recovers from elbow and knee injuries, had made 99 relief appearances for the Reds before getting a chance to start this year. "Hes wanted more opportunity. Weve given that to him," manager Bryan Price said. "I think it was a good idea that we brought him into camp to start in case we had an injury or didnt have the depth. And our good fortune is that he came in ready to go and had a great spring and is off to a good start." Simon struck out three and walked two. "I feel great," he said. "I just tried to keep the ball down today and just try to (get ground balls)." Jonathan Broxton pitched a hitless ninth for his second save in two tries, completing a six-hitter for the Reds, who stretched their winning streak to a season-best three and have won four of five. Cincinnati, which won last years season series 14-5, went ahead on Billy Hamiltons RBI double in the fifth. The Reds made it 3-0 in the sixth when Zack Cozart hit a bases-loaded grounder to third, and second baseman Emilio Bonifacios relay for a double-play attempt went wide of first for an error that allowed Ryan Ludwick to score from second. Ludwick had reached on catchers interference by Welington Castillo. "Believe me, we dont take it for granted that were coming in here to win all the games," Price said. http://www.superstarsupercolor.fr/originals-homme-femme-adidas-superstar-foundation-running-blanc-ftw-clair-scarlet-running-blanc-chaussures-en-ligne.html. . "I mean, we want to but we dont take it for granted at all." Jeff Samardzija (0-2) gave up three runs -- one earned -- and six hits in seven innings with seven strikeouts and two walks. He is 0-4 despite a 3.86 ERA in 10 starts since winning at San Diego on Aug. 24. "Its a tough day to hit with that wind," he said. "Its just the way it goes sometimes. You cant let it get to you." Luis Valbuena hit an RBI single in the seventh, ending a 24-inning scoreless streak for the Cubs dating to Sundays loss to St. Louis. Cincinnati scored another run in the eighth on a wild pitch by Justin Grimm. "I think we were a little sloppy in general, and Jeff really kept us in the ballgame throughout," Cubs manager Rick Renteria said. "I think well do better." NOTES: Reds 2B Brandon Phillips left in the middle of the third, two innings after he felt back spasms after he swung and missed a Samardzija pitch. Price said Phillips was removed as a precaution and said he was hopeful Phillips could play Saturday. ... Price said LHP Aroldis Chapman has been cleared to throw batting practice for the first time since he was hit in the face by a line drive during an exhibition game on March 19. ... Reds LHP Sean Marshall (sore left shoulder) has rejoined the Reds and could be activated this weekend. ... The Reds stole five bases. ... Jon Tinker, a grandson of former Cubs Hall of Fame shortstop Joe Tinker of Tinker to Evers to Chance fame, threw out the ceremonial first pitch. ... Cincinnatis scheduled starter Saturday is LHP Tony Cingrani (1-1), while RHP Edwin Jackson (0-1) is to start for the Cubs.
