WORCESTER, Mass. Kendall Wright Jersey . —An independent
league team in Massachusetts has signed former major league slugger and admitted
steroids user Jose Canseco. The Worcester Tornadoes of the Can-Am league said
Friday he agreed to a contract for one season. The 47-year-old Canseco says in a
statement he is grateful to the team. Tornadoes general manager Jorg Bassiacos
expects Canseco to “bring a lot of excitement” to the club. Canseco hit 462 home
runs during a 17-year career. He was a member of the Bash Brothers with
Mark McGwire while with the Oakland As. Canseco also played for the Rangers, Red
Sox, Blue Jays, Devil Rays and Yankees. He ended his major league career with
the White Sox in 2001. The Tornadoes went 48-44 last year. They play their first
home game May 21. Chris Johnson Jersey .25 million. Foligno,
acquired in a trade last week for defenceman Marc Methot, has 61 goals and 87
assists with 299 penalty minutes in 351 career games, all with the Ottawa
Senators. Matt Hasselbeck Jersey . Pierres upper body

. —John Farrell has plenty of reasons to be bummed that the Toronto Blue Jays
wont be back in Kansas City this season. Kenny Britt Jersey ., placed fourth and sixth
in Saturdays three-metre final at the fourth stop on the diving Grand Prix
circuit. Rob Bironas Jersey . The Red Sox will try to
sweep this series with a victory tonight at Fenway Park. The Red Sox have won
the first two tests of this series by a 3-1 count.ANAHEIM – The horrors of
minus-29 still ring in the ears of Tyler Bozak. But for all the tumult of an
unseemly sophomore season, which saw him finish amongst the leagues cellar
dwellers in plus/minus, the 25-year-old may have been better for it. “I wish it
wasnt,” Bozak said of his rollercoaster second season, “but for me I think it
helped a great deal. “I think last year when I lost a lot of confidence is when
I played my worst, so I kind of learned how to keep that high through tough
times and good times.” Bozak scored twice in a 5-2 win over the Ducks on Sunday
night, giving him five goals in the last five games and 11 points in ten games
on the top line. Initially just a stop-gap for the injured Tim Connolly, Bozak
has stuck alongside Phil Kessel and Joffrey Lupul in first-line duty despite
Connollys return to the lineup five games ago. “Im confident,” Bozak said. “I
think I can play with those guys. I think I can play in that position.” “Hes
having some success now,” Lupul added. “When youre scoring and having some
success it always makes the game a little bit easier. “He took some criticism
last year and even at the start of this year. Hes just shown what type of
character he has to keep going.” Five Points 1. Jonas Gustavsson made 26 saves
for his fourth consecutive victory. “The Monsters played really well,” Ron
Wilson said after the Leafs wrapped up a four-game road trip with a third
straight victory. “That gives us the opportunity to make sure whenever we decide
Reims has the conditioning to go back in that hell be 100 percent ready to go.”
Gustavsson is 5-1-0 in November with a 2.45 goals against average and .914 save
percentage. “You want to win,” Gustavsson said, “thats why you play. And every
win feels really good.” 2. Lupul extended his point streak to six games with a
pair of assists (10 points), also sliding into a tie with Jonathan Toews for the
most points in November (18). “Yeah it surprised me quite a bit,” Lupul said.
“Obviously I dont think of myself in that category with the top scorers in the
league. Im confident in my ability and in my skill, but Ive got to do lots of
other things to have success; go to the net hard, win puck battles, thats a
little more my game and when I get open ice I can make some plays too.” Lupul
jumped into a tie with Claude Giroux for second in the scoring race (29 points),
just two points behind Kessel. The 29-year-old is also the team leader in road
points, totaling 15 in 13 games. 3. Keith Aulie made the trip cross-continent on
Saturday morning to arrive in time for Sundays game against the Ducks. Aulie was
with the Marlies in St. Johns, Newfoundland when word arrived that he might be
needed in California. “[Saturday] morning they called me in the hotel and said
Good news, youre going across the country, going across the continent so the
journey started then,” Aulie ssaid, prior to the game. Nate Washington Jersey. The Saskatchewan
native took a morning flight from St. Johns to Toronto, endured a four-hour
layover before arriving in Los Angeles shortly before 10pm. With
Carl Gunnarssons status up in the air, the Leafs were in need of a defenceman
capable of playing big minutes with Dion Phaneuf; the two formed a capable
partnership down the stretch last season. Aulie was a late cut at training camp
this fall. “Obviously I was upset, but youve got to translate that into work
ethic,” said the 22-year-old, who recently returned from a minor injury. “Ive
felt really good lately. I feel like I was being real physical and being tough
to play against and playing a lot against other teams top lines.” Aulie logged
16:19 alongside Phaneuf on Sunday evening. 4. Clarke MacArthur has found his
lucky charm. MacArthur scored his third goal in as many games, all with his
parents, Dean and Deborah, in the crowd. The 26-year-olds parents are out to
visit as many road arenas as possible, stopping to watch their son in Carolina
and Tampa, before concluding the road trip in Anaheim on Sunday. Eight of
MacArthurs nine goals this season have come on the road. 5. Gunnarsson (hand)
and David Steckel (hand) became the ninth and tenth Leafs to miss a game with
injury this month. But despite the rash of injuries, the Leafs are set to exit
November above .500 (7-5-1) with a game against the Bruins on Wednesday. Depth
in the organization has been greatly demonstrated with Joey Crabb (five goals),
Joe Colborne (four points), Matt Frattin, Ben Scrivens and of late, the
embattled Gustavsson, demonstrating their worth in expanded roles. “All we ask
everybody who comes in is to understand what our identity is, identify with it
and play to it and weve done that really well,” Wilson said. “We try to go on
the attack every single time were on the ice so I think its a fun way to play.
And its an entertaining way to play. Sometimes you trade chance for chance [and]
maybe we give up more shots or goals against than we should, but we want to have
fun when we go out there and I think the players are really enjoying it right
now.” Mikhail Grabovski returned to the lineup after missing five games, playing
in fourth-line duty alongside Jay Rosehill and Phillipe Dupuis for much of the
night. Both Steckel and Gunnarsson are expected to return on Wednesday. Bonus
Points For the second consecutive game, it was rookie Jake Gardiner leading the
Leafs in ice-time. Gardiner clocked in at 25:15, two nights after logging nearly
29 minutes in a shootout win over Dallas…Connolly extended his point streak to
five games with an assist (eight points)…Luke Schenn scored his first goal of
the season into an empty-net, logging over 20 minutes (plus-3) for the second
consecutive game…John-Michael Liles added two more assists on Sunday. The
31-year-old has 13 points on the road this season, but only three at home. ’ ’ ’
