Gaub was added to the Rangers 40-man roster Thursday and optioned to Triple-A Round Rock. Texas didnt have to make any corresponding move because it had an open spot on the 40-man roster. Ted Ginn Jersey . —Arizona Cardinals coach Ken Whisenhunt says hes not quite ready to name a starting quarterback but indicates a decision could come soon. Dashon Goldson Jersey . That would be back in the 1970s, when the Argonauts were just a notch or two behind the Toronto Maple Leafs in the local sporting consciousness, when the signing of Heisman Trophy winner Anthony Davis out of USC was enough to bring tens of thousands out to an intrasquad game at Exhibition Stadium.Jon Weber isnt just thinking wishfully. The Goldeyes veteran and team captain will look anyone in the eye and tell them that he believes this years edition of the Fish can win the American Association championship. Tuesday night on a beautiful evening at Shaw Park, Weber had one of six Goldeyes hits while Ridge Carpenter drove in the winning run as the Fish beat the St. Paul Saints 2-1 to split a pair of pre-season games with their rivals from St. Paul. For the second straight night, Goldeyes manager Rick Forney got every position player into the game and pitching coach Bill Pulsipher looked at seven more pitchers, as the Goldeyes got everything they could possibly have asked for out of two pre-season games. “It was good, it was a good two games,” said Weber, who will be expected to serve as the teams veteran leader this season. “I really feel good. I got seven at bats in two games, had three hits, drove in a couple of runs, ran a bit, it was a good.” In his 14th year of professional baseball and his second year in Winnipeg, the left-handed hitting leftfielder is openly impressed with the team Forney has cobbled together. Tuesday night, Ace Walker started and was followed by Chris Salamida. The two veteran starters allowed no runs on three hits over the first four innings. Reliever Brian Leach gave up the only run aas St. Colin Kaepernick Black Jersey. Paul picked up a single in the seventh, but Chris Kaminski, Fabian Williamson, Dexter Carter and Nick Carr allowed no runs on no hits. Carter was lights out in a one-two-three eighth and earned the victory. “I think we have a really good team,” Weber said. “This team is even better than last years team and we were close to winning it all last year. I think this team has better arms and athletically were better. Well run better. All in all, we have a lot of guys who can play.” Tuesday night the Goldeyes picked up six hits and scored a run in the fifth on a walk, an error and a wild pitch and posted the winner in the eighth as Chris Roberson walked, stole second and scored on Carpenters solid single to right-centre. “There is nothing psychological about baseball,” said Weber when asked that after losing in last years playoffs on an error. “We just need to throw the bats and balls out of the field, play hard and not make any mistakes. We lost last year because of a mistake. We lost Monday night because we made two mistakes. If we dont make mistakes, well be really tough to beat.” The Goldeyes play their final home pre-season game on Friday night against the University of Winnipeg Wesmen at 6 p.m. at Shaw Park. Then they get on the bus and start a 17-day road trip. ’ ’ ’
