CHICAGO -- Put Yadier Molina down for four more hits. Nike Air Max 98 Gundam . Four RBIs, too. Add another clutch hit to Allen Craigs total. The majors last game before the All-Star break sure had a familiar feel for the St. Louis Cardinals. Molina hit a three-run homer in St. Louis four-run ninth inning, and the Cardinals beat the Chicago Cubs 10-6 on Sunday night. "We never give up," Molina said. "Whatever happens in the game or the inning before were going to come after you." Craig lined a tiebreaking RBI single into left field before Molina drove an 0-2 pitch from Kevin Gregg (2-2) over the wall in left for his seventh homer. Pete Kozma added three hits and two RBIs as St. Louis finished with a season-high 21 hits. Chicago went up 4-3 on Darwin Barneys three-run homer off Adam Wainwright in the sixth, and pinch hitter Cody Ransom had a tying two-run double in the eighth. But the Cubs bullpen was unable to hold off the NLs highest-scoring team. "Obviously we lost, but I mean we showed a lot of fight," Barney said. "We showed maybe what kind of character we have in those kind of games." The Cardinals won for the seventh time in nine games to salvage a split of the four-game series. Edward Mujica (2-1) had his second blown save opportunity in 28 chances, but managed to get the win on the same day he was chosen to replace Wainwright on the NL All-Star team. Despite injuries to key pitchers Chris Carpenter, Jaime Garcia and Jason Motte, St. Louis heads to the All-Star break with baseballs best record at 57-36. It leads the NL Central by one game over surprising Pittsburgh, which lost 4-2 to the New York Mets earlier in the day. "I cant express how proud I am the way these guys play the game," manager Mike Matheny said. "It was a very fitting way to end before the break." A big reason for St. Louis success is the play of Craig and Molina, who are both headed to New York for Tuesday nights game at Citi Field. Craig is batting .489 (44 for 90) with runners in scoring position and leads the team with 74 RBIs. Molina leads the NL with a .341 batting average while playing his usual strong defence behind the plate. Wainwright, who allowed four runs and eight hits in six innings, said he thinks Molina is baseballs best all-around player. "What can you say?" Wainwright said. "He gets the big hits when he needs to and he calls great games." Barney also had a run-scoring single for the Cubs, who went 6-4 on a 10-game stretch in Chicago that included a makeup game at the crosstown White Sox last Monday. The four RBIs for Barney matched a career high set in a 14-4 victory against Pittsburgh on July 30, 2012. After a slow start, the Cubs (42-51) are a respectable 24-21 in their last 45 games. Its good enough for a four-game improvement compared to last year at this point, when the North Siders were 38-55 on their way to their first 100-loss season since 1966. "Its a half that could have gone a lot different, but I think a lot of guys have progressed, kind of taken strides in the right way," said first baseman Anthony Rizzo, who committed a mental gaffe in the eighth when he cut off a ball that might have got a runner at the plate. Travis Wood, who will represent the Cubs at the All-Star festivities, allowed three runs and a season-high 10 hits in 5 2-3 innings. It matched the shortest outing of the year for the consistent lefty, who pitched at least six innings in 17 of his first 18 starts. Molina was out of the starting lineup for St. Louis 6-4 loss on Saturday night and began the night in a 1-for-19 rut covering his previous seven games. But he singled in each of his first two at-bats, hit a leadoff double in the seventh and forced Bogusevic to make a leaping catch against the wall in centre in the eighth. "Tonight was me," Molina said. "Tonight I saw the ball pretty good and I made contact pretty solid." NOTES: Cardinals OF Matt Holliday (right hamstring tightness) missed his third consecutive game. "We need to be real careful so we can continue to progress, make sure we are aiming for that first day after the break," Matheny said. ... OF Cole Gillespie joined the Cubs, and reliever Henry Rodriguez was designated for assignment to make room on the roster. Gillespie was claimed off waivers from San Francisco on Saturday. He had a pinch-hit single in the eighth. ... Cubs RHP Scott Baker allowed four runs and six hits in three innings in his first rehab start with Class A Kane County. Baker missed last season with Minnesota after undergoing elbow-ligament replacement surgery. "Today was a big hump, to pitch against hitters and getting in a real game and the whole atmosphere and everything," Cubs manager Dale Sveum said. Nike Air Max 97 2018 .

The Wollongong Wolves are bracing for an A-League turf war against a renewed push for a third Sydney team based in the citys south.The former National Soccer League champions will consider an expansion bid once Football Federation Australia releases its criteria early next year, according to new CEO Chris Papakosmas, who began in the job on Monday.But the Wolves, who won back-to-back titles in 2000 and 2001, appear to be wheeling in the big guns to stave off FFAs favoured option of a super club encompassing the Sutherland, St George and Illawarra regions.Papakosmas joins the Wolves after 25 years in the media industry and is closely aligned with Wollongong-based television mogul Bruce Gordon, his former employer at WIN Television.Billionaire Gordon has long been touted as a potential A-League investor and its believed he met with former FFA chairman Frank Lowy last year when the governing body was considering removing Wellington Phoenix from the competition.For the time being at least, Papakosmas said the Wolves will be purely focused on their immediate vision - to stabilise the clubs finances and roll out a new, low-cost junior pathway program.But once FFAs expansion framework is made public, theyll take a serious look.If guidelines come out in January or February, of course were going to look at those guidelines very, very closely, Papakosmas told AAP.Papakosmas said it would be presumptuous to assumee Gordon, who held talks to buy 50 per cent of NRL club St George Illawarra earlier this year, is keen to fund a Wollongong A-League bid - or that he is the extent of the clubs corporate connections. Air Max 97 Ultra Nere. ruce is a very well-known, successful businessman down in this region and hell decide whats in his best interests, he said.But in saying that, we have some very, very significant contacts and connections within corporate Australia, here on the South Coast and right across the country, and we intend to leverage those when its most appropriate and suits everyone involved.Football South Coast has been involved in regular meetings with FFA over the concept of a third Sydney franchise and chairman Eddy de Gabriele told SBS the association is not foolish enough to chase a stand-alone team.Its expected a new Sydney side would split games between Wollongongs WIN Stadium and Cronullas Southern Cross Group Stadium.However, Papakosmas believes that would be the wrong way to go.I cant speak on anyone elses behalf, but eventually when FFA decides whats in the best interests of football in the country, is it a truly expansive league that incorporates all the major football-loving regions in the country, or is it a dilution of certain areas that already have representation? he said. China NFL Jerseys Cheap NFL Jerseys Wholesale Jerseys From China Jerseys From China Wholesale Authentic Jerseys Cheap NFL Jerseys Authentic Wholesale Jerseys 2018 ' ' '
