Each week, The Reporters put their thumbs out to the good and the bad in the world of sports. Wholesale Mets Jerseys . This week they discuss Toronto mayor Rob Ford, the new Hockey Hall of Fame class, the success of Manny Malhotra, and Adam Pardys helmet in Chicago. Bruce Arthur, National Post: My thumb is down to Rob Ford, though not for all his various misdeeds, specifically. No, it is because he has ballooned into a globally famous Hindenburg of a mayor and he had dragged this citys sports along with him. When he threatened a Toronto Star reporter near his house he met the press in an Argonauts shirt. The first time he was photographed with accused extortionist and drug trafficker Sandro Lisi was at a Leafs game in a Leafs jersey. After the chief of police announced that yes, a crack tape did exist, Ford responded wearing his Raptors tie. And when he finally admitted to crack cocaine use, Ford - a longtime proponent of Torontos chase for an NFL team - wore an old NFL tie. Lets be honest, the citys sports scene is used to indignity but it is not used to it being inflicted by someone else. Steve Simmons, Sun Media: My thumb is up to the Hockey Hall of Fame class of 2013 but in particular to the long overdue induction of the late Freddie Shero in the builders category. And build and leave an imprint is what Shero did. He last coached in the NHL 33 years ago but hardly a day goes by that we dont reference something he said or did. He was the first to use assistant coaches in hockey and the first to implement a variety of systems and breakouts, depending on game circumstances. He wrote on the board to his Philadelphia Flyers "Win today, and we walk together forever." From the championship teams in Philadelphia, he joins the owner, the general manager, the captain and the goaltender in the Hall of Fame, together forever. Michael Farber, Sports Illustrated: My thumb is up to Manny Malhotra who had the breakaway winner for Carolina last Tuesday against the Flyers. This represented not just a triumph for the Hurricanes, but a victory of the human spirit. Malhotra, of course, suffered what would, and probably should, have been a career-ending eye injury in 2012. Certainly Vancouver, his former team, thought he should have retired for his own safety. The Canucks pleas stemmed from the same genuine health concerns fans have when they see athletes like oft-concussed B.C. Lions quarterback Buck Pierce soldiering on. But it is never our call, is it? These men know the risk and Malhotra reaped the reward. We can only applaud. Dave Hodge, TSN: My thumb is up to the hockey moment that managed to somehow fit right in with all of the news coming out of the mayors office in Toronto. I neednt spell out the comparisons, but first, there needs to be a video that everyone wants to see. In this case it is Adam Pardy of the Jets going into the boards and through the glass whereupon he lost his helmet to a...how would you describe the guy? In this context, that would be dangerous, but Im safe in saying that the beer poured over Pardys head seems to fit. And the two fans were quickly removed from their seats and escorted out of Chicagos United Center, easier to do in some places than others. Mets Yoenis Cespedes Jersey . Fielder ended 4-for-5 with a solo homer, while Avila was 4-for-4 with two runs scored for the Tigers, who put the brakes on a three-game skid and rebounded from a loss in Mondays opener.

Last year, Matt Kuchar closed with a 4-under 68 to beat Kevin Chappell by two strokes for his second win of the 2013 season and sixth of his career.MELBOURNE, Australia - South Korea reached the Asian Cup semifinals after Son Heung-min scored two goals in extra time in a tough 2-0 win over Uzbekistan.Kim Jin-sus long centring pass from just outside the area was deflected by the Uzbekistan defence and into the path of Son, who headed the ball past diving goalkeeper Ignatiy Nesterov 16 minutes into extra time.After more than 120 minutes of an intense match, substitute defender Cha Du-ri beat two Uzbek defenders as he dribbled the ball toward the area before passing to Son, who calmly drove it into the net.South Korea, which reached the quarterfinals after topping its group, will next face the winner of the Iran vs. Iraq quarterfinal played Friday in Canberra.We knew that the team that loses today, tomorrow is on a plane back to his home country, South Korea coach Uli Stielike said. So hence, for us if we dont go through the semifinals, for sure well have a lot of critics at home.I think that pressure was our main problem in the first half, the former West Germany international added. When we came out in the second half we were much calmer, there were much less unforced errors ... and I think from 91 minutes on, there was only one team on the pitch.Both sides focused on attack in an evenly matched game in front of a raucous sellout crowd of over 25,000 at Melbournes Rectangular stadium.It was a very interesting and beautiful game, Uzbekistan coach Uzbek bosss Mirjalol Qosimov said. Mets Jacob Rhame Jersey. . Because of how unlucky we are, we are very disappointed.We could have scored many, many goals but luck was not on our side, he added.Nesterov produced some inspired goalkeeping in the first half as the South Koreans missed four clear chances in the space of two minutes. After blocking a close-range shot by Nam Tae-hee in the 26th, Nesterov raced back into goal and leapt to tip a Son strike over the bar.Ki Sung-yueng came close again a minute later when his shot from inside the box drifted too far right, and again in the 27th when his shot narrowly missed its target.Tonight we saw a lot of different phases in 120 minutes. ... Our main objective was to bring the mentality and the conviction which we played against Australia to this game, Stielike said. But one more time we saw in the first half that we had a lot of mental problems when we play under a lot of pressure.The second half featured a series of squandered chances, punctuated by three missed opportunities from Uzbekistan midfielder Lutfulla Turaev — including an off target header at an empty goal in the 78th.South Korean defender Kwak Tae-hwi came close in the 82nd with a header from inside the box that narrowly missed the goal.The intensity remained throughout extra time with both teams probing each others goal area to no avail until Kim and Son combined to force a rare lapse in the Uzbek defence.
