  导出博客文章ATLANTA -- What a homecoming for Eric Berry. Cheap Air Max 720 Free Shipping .A pick-6, a pick two and a victory hell never forget.After Atlanta grabbed the lead with less than 5 minutes to go, Berry intercepted a 2-point conversion pass by Matt Ryan and returned it 99 yards to give Kansas City an improbable 29-28 triumph over the Falcons on Sunday.There were plenty of tears, to be sure.Berry grew up in suburban Atlanta and was playing in the city for the first time as a pro. His mother was in the stands at the Georgia Dome, cheering him on. But, most poignantly, this was where he returned for treatment after a mass found his chest near the end of the 2014 season turned out to be Hodgkins lymphoma .The last time I came home during the season it was to get chemotherapy, Berry said. I take pride in a lot of things that people take for granted, so when opportunities come my way I just cherish them and try to make the most of them.Boy, did he ever.In the final minute of the first half, Berry stepped in front of Ryans throw over the middle and returned that pick 37 yards for a touchdown that gave the Chiefs their first lead. After scoring, Berry found his mom -- wearing his No. 29 jersey- and delivered her the ball. She blew him back a kiss.I just handed it to her and told her Id be back, he said.Promise kept.I shed a few tears before the game, I shed a few tears during the game and I shed a few after, Berry added. It was just a lot of emotions. I tried to contain them and let it show through my play.The Falcons, rallying from a 27-16 deficit, went ahead 28-27 on Ryans 5-yard touchdown pass to Aldrick Robinson with 4:32 remaining.Atlanta decided to go for 2, looking to stretch the margin to a field goal. But Berry read it all the way , stepped in front of the tight end and took off the other way with no even close to him, providing the Chiefs with their winning margin.It came after Denver stole a game in similar fashion last month, returning a blocked PAT for the winning points at New Orleans.Atlanta is now tied atop the NFC South with Tampa Bay.Ryan was clearly down after the game, knowing this was one that got away from the Falcons (7-5).A poor play on my part, the quarterback said. I was expecting combination coverage to the outside. Eric Berry did good job coming down off and going onto the tight end.Those werent the only backbreaking plays given up by the Falcons. On fourth-and-2 from their own 45, Kansas City faked a punt and snapped the ball directly to Albert Wilson , who played his college ball in the same stadium for Georgia State. Wilson burst up the middle for a 55-yard touchdown that extended Kansas Citys lead in the third quarter.I had a sense it would come down to the end, and it did, Falcons coach Dan Quinn said. But I reminded the team that it never comes down to one play.Alex Smith completed 21 of 25 passes for 270 yards, including a 3-yard touchdown to Spencer Ware. Travis Kelce was Kansas Citys top receiver, hauling in eight passes for 140 yards.Ryan was 22 of 34 for 297 yards, but his two huge mistakes doomed the NFC South-leading Falcons. Julio Jones hauled in seven passes for 113 yards, while Devonta Freeman had a couple of 1-yard touchdown runs.LONG KICKForty-one-year-old Matt Bryant closed out the first half with the second-longest field goal of his career for the Falcons, a 59-yarder that easily cleared the crossbar.Bryants only longer field goal was a 62-yarder with Tampa Bay in 2006. He also tied Atlantas franchise record for longest field goal, first set by Morten Andersen in 1995.INJURY REPORTThe Falcons lost left tackle Jake Matthews to a left knee injury in the first half.Trainers put a sleeve over the knee, and Matthews tested it out on the sideline with some runs and cuts. But he headed to the locker room just before halftime and didnt return. Tom Compton finished out the game protecting Ryans blind side.Kansas Citys leading receiver, Jeremy Maclin, missed his fourth straight game with a groin injury.UP NEXTChiefs: Return home for a huge Thursday night game against AFC West rival Oakland, the first of three straight games at Arrowhead Stadium before the season finale at San Diego.Falcons: Travel to Los Angeles next Sunday to take on the Rams.---Follow Paul Newberry on Twitter at www.twitter.com/pnewberry1963 .

Air Max 720 Cheap . MORITZ, Switzerland -- Fog prevented downhill racers from getting their Olympic dress rehearsal. http://www.discountairmax720.com/ . Jeff Green scored 13 points and Kris Humphries 12 for the Celtics, who nearly blew an 18-point, second-half lead. Sullingers 20-20 was the first by a Celtics player since Kevin Garnetts first game in Boston in 2007. Garnett was dealt -- along with Paul Pierce -- to Brooklyn during the off-season. Its Thursday again, which means (1) the weekend isnt here just yet and (2) we have to make it through another crummy MLB slate to get there. Its not the worst slate weve seen, as Rich Hill and Johnny Cueto make for a nice one-two punch at the top, but its thin enough to make us pine for Friday, when well be treated to a full slate of games with more enticing options.PitchingEliteHill had a perfect game through seven innings his last time out against the Marlins, but he was removed when his blister issue started acting up again. Hes expected to be fine for Thursdays road tilt against Arizona, which has the lefty rated as the days only elite option. Its hard to argue with the designation. Hill has made only three starts since being traded to the Dodgers, but hes yet to allow a run. In fact, hes allowed just eight batters to reach base in 19 innings while striking out 20. Its true that the Diamondbacks are tough on lefties (113 wRC+). However, they strike out 24 percent of the time against them, and the offense as a whole has tanked in the second half (88 wRC+). All told, this is a very nice spot for Hill with plenty of upside. Hes a worthy investment as your cash-game anchor.SolidIts also hard to go wrong with Cueto in cash. A matchup against the Cardinals, who have a 108 wRC+ against right-handed pitching looks tough on paper, but a lot of the damage the Redbirds did came in the first half. Since the All-Star break, the Cards offense has been nothing more than average (100 wRC+). Cueto, meanwhile, is as stable as they come. His 20 quality starts ranks in the top five in the NL, and he has an average Game Score of 61 over his 29 starts this season. The Giants righty is the clear No. 2 behind Hill on Thursday.Adam Wainwright has been hit-or-miss this season, which is not what you want from your cash-game hurler. While the Cardinals right-hander threw eight innings of one-run ball against Milwaukee his last time out, he still walked four. He also has just three quality starts in his past nine outings. While the Giants have been middle-of-the-road against right-handed pitching, their 9.4 percent walk rate is in the top five in baseball, and their 17.5 percent strikeout rate is lowest in the NL, so the matchup is still far from ideal.Masahiro Tanaka is one of the best pitchers on the slate. The right-hander has a 1.94 ERA over his past seven starts. While his 7.7 K/9 this season is unimpressive, hes racked up 48 strikeouts over his past 46 innings of work. Unfortunately, the Yankees road matchup against Boston is one of the days toughest spots. After all, the Red Soxs 115 wRC+ against right-handers is the best in baseball, and they dont strike out much (18.3 percent). Tanaka has pitched well against Boston this year (2.13 ERA in two starts), so its not necessarily a spot you need to avoid on Thursday, but its not a favorable one, either.After posting a 3.36 in the first half, Torontos?J.A. Happ has come right back with a 3.26 ERA so far in the second half. Better yet, his 7.1 K/9 in the first half has jumped to 9.3 since the break. The Angels are a low-upside opponent, as they strike out less than any team in baseball, but aside from Mike Trout and Albert Pujols, its a nonthreatening group. Happ makes for a solid SP2 option.In terms of an upside play, take a look at Mike Montgomery against Milwaukee. The negative is that the Cubs southpaw isnt pitching deep into games. Hes made six starts this season, posting a 3.64 ERA, and hes pitched more than five innings just once. That said, hes striking out nearly a batter per inning as a starter, and the Brewers are fanning at a 25 percent clip versus lefties.StreamersThe results havent been flashy, but Chad Kuhl has held his own since stepping into Pittsburghs starting rotation. On Thursday, he should find success in a prime matchup against the Phillies, who have been the second-worst team in baseball against right-handers this season (82 wRC+).. Wholesale Air Max 720 China. . Kuhl is available in 91 percent of ESPN.com leagues.You wouldnt think it based on the number right-handed sluggers in Baltimores lineup, but the Orioles have been the worst team in the AL against left-handed pitching (79 wRC+, 22 percent whiff rate). That sets things up nicely for the Rays?Blake Snell. The lefty has had his issues (that 5.3 walk rate being one of them), but he has a solid 3.57 ERA since the break, with a 9.6 K/9 that can help cover up many warts. His ESPN.com ownership sits at just 16 percent.Dont let that 4.70 ERA fool you. Since the All-Star break, Bostons?Eduardo Rodriguez?has a 2.76 ERA over 58? innings. Against a Yankees team that struggles against lefties (86 wRC+), Rodriguez is in a good spot to keep the training rolling. Hes a free agent in 80 percent of leagues.AvoidHector Santiago is a guy I often stay away from, and thats the case again on Thursday. To be fair, the Angels lefty is coming off three straight quality starts. Then again, he still posted a 5.1 BB/9 over those three starts; hes allowed seven or more runs twice in the last month; and his 29 homers allowed is the fifth worst in the American League. Theres just too much risk here and not enough reward.HittingThe White Soxs?James Shields has already allowed 37 homers this season, putting him on pace to allow 42 on the season. The last pitcher to allow 40 home runs in a season was Bronson Arroyo in 2011. The right-handed Shields also has an ERA north of 6.00 and is getting hammered by both right-handed (.394 wOBA) and left-handed (.376 wOBA) batters. Needless to say, Cleveland bats are a high-upside stacking option for Thursdays game at U.S. Cellular Field.Archie Bradley still might have a bright future, but he doesnt match up well with the Dodgers, who hammer right-handed pitching (109 wRC+). It also doesnt help that the young Diamondbacks righty has a 7.11 ERA since the beginning of August and has yet to figure out Chase Field (6.29 ERA). Lefty swingers have given Bradley the most trouble this year (.393 wOBA), so Chase Utley, Corey Seager, Adrian Gonzalez, Josh Reddick and switch-hitter Yasmani Grandal are all in terrific spots.Also consider targeting left-handed Rays bats against the Orioles?Yovani Gallardo, who has a 5.44 ERA this season (including a 5.16 mark in the second half). Brad Miller, who has swatted 25 of his 28 homers this year off righties, is the top play, with Corey Dickerson and switch-hitter Nick Franklin warranting consideration as well.Daniel Wright has made only five appearances (three starts) this season, but hes allowed at least three runs in each appearance. That amounts to a 7.50 ERA and 1.89 WHIP over 18 frames. While its a small sample size, until the Angels starter shows he can get big leagues hitters out, its a situation to target. With the Blue Jays in town, its all hands on deck, regardless of whether they have the platoon advantage.Oaklands?Daniel Mengden is striking out 9.1 batters per nine, but thats about where the good news ends. Hits walk rate sits at 4.8, his ERA since the All-Star break is 9.58 and hes been ineffective against both right- and left-handed batters. Take a look at the Royals hitters in this one, particularly Eric Hosmer, Salvador Perez and Kendrys Morales, who is batting .368 with five bombs in 10 September games so far.Most likely to go yard: Mike NapoliYou knew I was going to target a hitter facing Shields; it was just a matter of which one. Lets give the nod to the Indians Napoli, who has bashed 26 of his 33 homers off right-handers this year.Most likely to swipe a bag: Dexter FowlerMilwaukees?Jimmy Nelson has allowed more stolen bases (27) this year than any pitcher not named Noah Syndergaard. This bodes well for Fowler, who is looking to secure double-digit steals for the eighth straight season.
