METAIRIE, La. Tony Phillips Athletics Jersey . -- The New Orleans Pelicans have released shooting guard Archie Goodwin.The 6-foot-5 Goodwin, whose release was announced Sunday, was originally signed by New Orleans on Nov. 7, shortly after guard Lance Stephenson was informed by doctors that he would need surgery on a groin injury.Goodwin appeared in three games for the Pelicans, averaging five points in 10 minutes per game. His departure reduces the number of players on New Orleans roster to 14.The Pelicans, whove won four of their last six games after a 0-8 start, play in Atlanta on Tuesday night. Athletics Jerseys 2020 .C. -- Calgarys Kevin Koe did it the hard way again. Eric Byrnes Jersey .1 million pounds ($61.2 million) on Saturday, giving the beleaguered English Premier League champions a major lift. https:///...ersey-athletics.html . Scott Kazmir allowed four hits in seven shutout innings, Michael Brantley hit a two-run homer in a three-run first inning and the Indians maintained their hold on an AL wild-card spot with a 4-1 win over the Houston Astros on Saturday night. CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- Well, this isnt the way anyone wanted to see Tony Stewart end his career. The driver went into NASCARs playoffs with a roar and is on the verge of exiting with a whimper.Stewart is in the bottom four of the Chase standings and will be eliminated Sunday at Dover International Speedway if he doesnt pull off some sort of miracle before the field is trimmed from 16 to 12 drivers. Hes retiring at the end of this season, and all his fans wanted to see a solid run toward a fourth NASCAR title.Instead, he opened the playoffs with a 16th-place finish at Chicago and he was 23rd on Sunday at New Hampshire. Chris Buescher is the only driver below him in the standings, and Stewart might just need to win at Dover to advance to the second round.Kevin Harvick, who won at New Hampshire to earn an automatic berth into the second round, isnt counting out his teammate. With Harvick secure and Kurt Busch 11th in the standings, Stewart-Haas Racing can put an emphasis on Stewarts performance at Dover.He can go to any racetrack and perform. He can go to any racetrack and win, Harvick said. Hes Tony Stewart. I wouldnt bet against him. Well do everything we can to help him get to the point where he needs to be to try to move on.This is hardly the position anyone thought Stewart would be in a month ago, when his fiery side began to emerge as the Chase approached. He wrecked Brian Scott at Darlington, wrecked Ryan Newman at Richmond and seemed to be in no mood to play around over the final 10 races of his NASCAR career.But hes not performing on the track, not at the level to race for a championship, at least, and thats got to change Sunday or he will close his career watching the playoffs go on without him. Stewart has not finished higher than 16th in the last six races, and his average finish is 26.3 over that span.He has three career wins at Dover, the last during his 2013 march to the title. But his average finish of 14.1 wont get it done.Who else could be eliminated on Sunday? A list:CHRIS BUESCHERIf you filled out a Chase bracket, you almost certainly had Buescher eliminated in the first round. He barely made the Chase, needing to cling to 30th in the standings to be eligible, and his Front Row Motorsports team just isnt equipped to competee with the big dogs. Marcus Semien Jersey. Buescher was 28th at Chicago, 30th at New Hampshire and is last in the 16-driver Chase field.If it rains on Sunday, and he uses strategy to stay out and inherit the lead before the race is canceled, then hes got a shot at avoiding elimination. That is, after all, how he won Pocono to get into the Chase.JAMIE MCMURRAYHe is 14th in the standings, and thats a bit of a surprise because the Chip Ganassi Racing cars had been strong headed into the Chase. McMurray was eliminated in the first round last year, and believed his team had learned enough to make it through this opening three-race stretch. But theres no room at all for error in the Chase, and a 19th-place finish at New Hampshire simply isnt good enough.Ganassi teammate Kyle Larson, who many thought would go deep into the playoffs, isnt secure, either. Hes 12th in the standings -- only five points ahead of the elimination spot.AUSTIN DILLONHe is tied with McMurray in the standings and trails Larson by five points for the transfer spot. Not because hes been bad in the Chase, but because hes been mediocre through the first two races.Dillon was 14th in the opener, 16th at New Hampshire and doesnt have a top-10 finish in six weeks. His New Hampshire race was a struggle, but Dillon felt his Richard Childress Racing team persevered and has hope for Dover.I never gave in, never gave up, our team never gave up, he said. We go to Dover and weve given ourselves a shot. Weve just got to go run good there.EVERYONE BESIDES HARVICK AND MARTIN TRUEX JRA win gets a driver an automatic berth to the second round, and Harvick and Truex have each punched those tickets.But the standings are so close throughout the rest of the field that a mechanical problem, a crash or simply ailed strategy could end the Chase for any driver. Only six points separate fifth-place Joey Logano from 11th-place Kurt Busch and no one is feeling all that safe. Chase Elliott is ninth in points and finished third at Chicago, but hes hardly breathing easy.When asked what he expects from Dover, he was blunt: I feel like its an upcoming race and we need to do a better job.
