Bills sign WR Shaine Smith

Posted by GameSetMatch on 29th July 2009

The Buffalo Bills have signed free agent Shaine Smith to bolster their injury-depleted group of receivers in training camp.

Listed at 6 feet 2 and 189 pounds, Smith has yet to play in the NFL, but spent part of the 2007 season on the New York Jets’ practice squad. He was originally signed by St. Louis that year as an undrafted rookie free agent out of Hofstra. The Bills are down four receivers since opening camp in suburban Rochester on Saturday.

Comfort of Fenway beckons for Sox

Posted by GameSetMatch on 23rd July 2009

Could home be where the hits are? The Red Sox, after an anemic road trip in which the offense went completely dry, can only hope so.

After a much-needed day off on Thursday, the Sox will be back at it on Friday night against the Orioles, when Adam LaRoche, acquired from the Pirates on Wednesday, makes his debut for Boston. The Red Sox will welcome the high-voltage atmosphere of Fenway after going 1-5 on the road. The team comes home in the throes of a season-high five-game losing streak. Boston is 31-14 at Fenway, owners of the best home record in the American League.

Bills defense must make big plays

Posted by GameSetMatch on 22nd July 2009

The Buffalo Bills’ defense made significant improvements last season. It allowed fewer yards and points, had more success on third down and was stingier in the red zone than the previous year. It was 14th in yards allowed, up from 31st in 2007.

But for all of the Bills’ defensive strengths, there was one glaring weakness: an absence of big plays. The Bills’ 24 sacks tied for the fourth fewest in the NFL and were the club’s lowest total since 1979. They forced just 22 turnovers (tied for 20th in the league), including a franchise record-tying low 10 interceptions. Their turnover ratio of minus-8 was sixth-worst in the league.

T.O. hopes to reveal the real Owens

Posted by GameSetMatch on 20th July 2009

T.O. is the brash, mercurial athlete, a polarizing teammate for 13 NFL seasons. Terrell is the man, shy and sensitive by nature.

You’ve probably heard of one. Terrell Owens wants you to meet the other. In an eight-episode reality series set to premiere Monday on the VH-1 cable network, Owens says he’ll present a counter argument to critics who portray him as a one-dimensional showboat perhaps known as much for self-indulgent sideline eruptions and quarterback criticisms as for being one of the most prolific receivers of his generation.

Ortiz on their minds

Posted by GameSetMatch on 13th July 2009

Count Astros shortstop Miguel Tejada and Mets pitcher Johan Santana as two of a large number of players who are happy to see Red Sox DH David Ortiz begin to recover his hitting stroke.

“To see him struggle hurt me personally,” said Tejada, who said it didn’t feel like an All-Star Game without Ortiz around. “I’m so happy to see that he’s back to what he used to be.” Ortiz, who had been named to the All-Star Game the last five seasons before this one, is hitting .222 with 12 homers and 47 RBI at the break. But he’s shown signs of breaking out of his season-long slump of late (.320, 7 HR, 18 RBI in June).

Beckett's shutout leads to 100th career win

Posted by sportsfan1 on 12th July 2009

All-Star Josh Beckett ended his first half with an absolute gem, going all the way on Sunday to lead the Red Sox to a series victory over the Royals.

The Boston ace hurled his second shutout of the season, leading the American League East front-runners to a 6-0 win over Kansas City at Fenway Park. It was the 11th win of the season — and career victory No. 100 — for Beckett, who allowed just three hits while striking out seven.
