DUNEDIN, Fla. Cameron Wake Womens Jersey . —Cliff Lee
said he had just about everything going for him Thursday—except for Toronto
slugger Jose Bautista. “Take Bautista out of the game and it was really good,”
the Phillies left-hander after striking out seven over six innings in the
Philadelphia Phillies 2-0 loss to the Blue Jays. Bautista had a pair of doubles
and scored Torontos first run. “Hes a good hitter,” Lee said. “Hes really good
at picking up sequences on what youre trying to do to him. Both the hits he got
were really good pitches. Ill take both of them all day. Lee survived the first
inning, striking out the side, two strikeouts coming after Kelly Johnson singled
and Bautista doubled to right. But in the fourth Bautista stole third after his
leadoff double and Adam Lind singled him home. Lee threw 75 pitches, 53 for
strikes, over his six innings. “I felt good. ... I felt I couldve kept going
easy but … I want to build up and get headed in the right direction,” he said.
“Im just trying to get my pitches where I want to be, to be able to throw any
pitch in any count. Im just locating my pitches. Its really that simple.” He
said he was throwing for contact, not for strikeouts. But the swings and misses
by the Blue Jays “says youve got some deception and, for the most part, throwing
strikes that are hard to hit. Im not trying to strike anybody out. It just
happens.” The Blue Jays other run came in the eighth when centre fielder
Scott Podsednik misplayed Travis Sniders flyball and Kelly Johnson doubled to
right. Torontos Brandon Morrow outpitched Lee, giving up one hit, a single by
Carlos Ruiz with one out in the fifth, and a pair of second-inning walks. He
threw 59 pitches in five innings. “Thats something that I set out to do, was to
improve my pitches per inning and go deeper in games,” Morrow said. “Its
definitely encouraging, I had to go down to the bullpen to throw 15 more to get
my pitch count up. “Im thinking through at-bats and watching the way (hitters
are) reacting to balls and calling a little bit more of my own game,” he said.
“All positives.” The Phillies had four hits in all and got only two runners as
far as third base en route to their third spring shutout loss. “Every day youve
got to hit,” Phillies manager Charlie Manuel said, sounding not the least bit
perturbed. ” I put stock in it every … day—spring training, Little League,
it dont matter. Every day. Thats why we come (to spring training). We dont come
to get shut out, but it happens sometimes but well come back and try to do
better.” NOTES: Phillies third baseman Placido Polanco, out since Saturday with
a sprained left ring finger, took batting practice and Manuel said he could be
back in the lineup “over the next couple of days, hopefully two or three days.
Hes close.” ... Blue Jays third baseman Brett Lawrie may return to the lineup
Saturday against the visiting Braves, manager John Farrell said. Lawrie is
recovering from tightness in his left groin that caused him to leave last
Fridays game against Tampa Bay. ... The Phillies will start Vance Worley (1-1,
1.80 ERA) Friday against Hiroki Kuroda (1-1, 4.00) and the visiting Yankees
split squad. ... Brett Cecil (3-0, 0.90) will start Friday for Toronto against
David Price (0-0, 5.40) for the host Rays at Port Charlotte. Ryan Tannehill Jersey .Va. —Webb Simpson
likes the way hes avoiding bogeys and figures hell need to play smart again at
the Greenbrier Classic to get his second win in three tournaments. Reggie Bush Womens Jersey . Otherwise, it was
a pretty rude homecoming for the former Jazz All-Star. Williams, returning to
Utah for the first time since a Feb. 23 trade, started 0 of 3, was just 2 of 12
at halftime and finished with 16 points on 3-of-15 shooting as the Jazz beat the

. “It was tough out there today but it was the same for both of us,” said
Ivanovic, who won her only major title at Roland Garros in 2008. “I just tried
to move and to adjust and really tried to look at the ball and move forward. Kevin Burnett Jersey . The three-time
All-Star outfielder, on the disabled list for the seventh time in the last four
years, jogged around Progressive Field before Cleveland played the Chicago White
Sox on Tuesday. Karlos Dansby Womens Jersey . It was a sign
that while goals may have been met, no one was satisfied. Less than 24 hours
later, Jazz brass and teammates echoed those sentiments as exit interviews were
conducted and lockers cleared for the summer. SEATTLE —Catcher Miguel Olivo
was activated from the 15-day disabled list by the Seattle Mariners on Thursday
after missing close to a month with a strained right groin muscle. The clear a
roster spot, reserve outfielder Casper Wells was optioned to Triple-A Tacoma.
There was some speculation that Seattle might consider keeping Wells—Seattles
main late-game defensive replacement in the outfield—and releasing benched
veteran Chone Figgins. But Figgins remained on the roster and he will for the
foreseeable future. Manager Eric Wedge was adamant before Thursdays game that
there are no thoughts at this time of releasing Figgins Since the decision was
made earlier this month to bench Figgins, hes appeared in just four games.
Figgins was given first shot at leading off in the hope Seattle could finally
get some value after the $36 million, four-year deal he signed before the 2010
season. But his .189 average on May 3 precipitated the change. Now hes a
seldom-used utility player, although his versatility to play in the infield and
outfield is part of the reason he remained on the roster. “Right now thats not
even an option with us. With Chone we wanted to give him every opportunity to
get back on track. We felt like we did that leading him off and switching his
role a little bit and it didnt work out. So now he is a utility player and a
super utility player in that he ggives us protection. Ryan Tannehill Womens Jersey. Well play him
when we need him. Well use him as we see fit to help us win ball games and well
see from there.” Wells had appeared in just 25 games and was hitting .213. Wedge
hopes Wells can get regular playing time and at-bats with Tacoma. Olivo was in
the starting lineup for the series opener against the Los Angeles Angels on
Thursday night despite a delayed flight back to Seattle on Wednesday night that
didnt land him back in the Pacific Northwest until after 3 a.m. Thursday
morning. Catcher is another position Wedge will need to juggle. Rookie
Jesus Montero and John Jaso have split the duties since Olivo was injured in the
ninth inning on April 30 against Tampa Bay. Olivo was fielding a ball between
the plate and the mound when he injured his groin. Wedge prefers having a third
catcher on the roster when one—typically Montero—is the designated hitter.
“Its nice to have different options,” Wedge said. “Im not going to sit here and
tell everybody exactly how were going to handle this, but theyre all going to
play.” Olivo appeared in three rehab games with Tacoma and got an early test in
his rehab assignment when in the first inning of his first rehab game he was
forced to make a similar play to the one he was injured on. Olivo is hitting
.210 with four homers and seven RBIs in 23 games this season. ’ ’ ’
