Kellermann-Strauss Forum » But after dropping a morning game

KAMLOOPS, B.C. - John Morris and his B.C. rink held on to top spot at the Canadian mens curling championship Tuesday afternoon with a 9-3 thumping of New Brunswick in eight ends. B.C. beat Jamie Koe of the Northwest Territories 7-2 in the morning and, at least until the evening draw, were alone with a record of six wins and only one loss at the Tim Hortons Brier. Kevin Koe of Alberta was in second at 5-1 thanks to a 9-3 win over Jeff Currie from Northern Ontario. Manitobas Jeff Stoughton recovered from a 7-2 loss in the morning to steal two in 10 and beat winless Nova Scotia 8-6. Newfoundland and Labradors Brad Gushue retained at least faint hope of making the playoffs with an 8-5 win over James Grattan of New Brunswick.

When the As were finally finished, the Angels roared up the tunnel and onto their home field, goggles in place and champagne bottles in hand. After a five-year wait and a few more minutes on ice, the Angels are AL West champions again. Los Angeles clinched the division title Wednesday night, getting seven dominant innings of one-hit ball from C.J. Wilson in a 5-0 victory over the Mariners. "Its a great feeling," said Albert Pujols, headed to his first AL post-season in his third year with the Angels. "But at the end of the day, its a better feeling when you get to hold that trophy. And thats what were waiting for." C.J. Cron hit a three-run homer for the major league-leading Angels (95-57), who wrapped up their first division crown since 2009 when Oakland lost to Texas. The Angels charged the field afterward, celebrating with several thousand fans who stuck around chanting "Lets go Rangers!" and "M-V-P!" for a grinning Mike Trout. "Everybody just wanted it to happen tonight, so were lucky to get to celebrate with our fans," said Wilson, who struck out seven. "I feel like weve been special for three years. We just havent put it all together until now." The Angels had already secured a playoff spot Monday, capping a dominant run through the summer and into September. They have won 12 of 14, and lead Baltimore (92-60) by three games for home-field advantage throughout the post-season. "Theyve won so many games in such a short amount of time, and its really a credit to every guy," said Angels manager Mike Scioscia, who won his sixth AL West title in 11 seasons. "Were going to enjoy the champagne and then go try to win tomorrow." The Angels werent assured of the clinching win until their five-run seventh inning broke up a pitchers duel between Wilson and Seattle rookie James Paxton. Howie Kendrick sparked tthe rally by scoring from first base when Chris Denorfia misplayed David Freeses single to right for an error.dddddddddddd Wilson (13-9) earned his third straight victory in intimidating fashion, allowing only three walks and Justin Smoaks single in a major improvement from recent starts. He escaped his only jam in the seventh, stranding two runners. Paxton (6-3) yielded four hits and had eight strikeouts for the Mariners, who have lost six of eight. Seattle managed just one hit and is two games behind Kansas City and Oakland for the second AL wild card. "Its tough, but games like this happen," Paxton said. "Thats just the way baseball works. Sometimes the other teams get the breaks. We just put this game behind us. Theres time left here for us to gain some ground on those guys. Its not over til its over." Paxton was even more dominant than Wilson, retiring 17 of the Angels first 18 hitters. Paxton allowed only two bouncing singles in the first six innings while striking out Trout three times. Paxton kept the Mariners in contention until his teammates made two errors and reliever Danny Farquhar flopped in the seventh inning. Farquhar relieved Paxton with two outs and two runners on, but Cron mashed his 11th homer into the fake rock pile behind centre field. Kole Calhoun followed with an RBI double as the Angels batted around. GOLDEN SOMBRERO Trout appears to be the likely AL MVP, but he struck out four times, including his fourth K to end the seventh, tying Baltimores Chris Davis for the AL lead with 173 strikeouts. TRAINERS ROOM Mariners: LHP Roenis Elias headed back to Seattle for an MRI after feeling stiffness in his elbow. Manager Lloyd McClendon said Elias is probably done for the season. Angels: Josh Hamilton was out of the starting lineup after feeling a bit sore following his return from a shoulder injury Tuesday. The cleanup hitter likely wouldnt have started anyway against a tough left-hander.
