Obviously, it will be a challenging place for us to go and win but we’re playing good baseball and if we go in there and do the things we’ve done over the last couple of weeks we’ll forget about where we are.”The winner at Wrigley Field gets home-field advantage throughout the NL playoffs, starting with a Division Series on Thursday against the wild-card winner.“We put ourself in a position to come down to one game to win the division and get a couple days off George Foster Jersey ,” Rizzo said after Sunday’s 10-5 victory over St. Louis. “If we win it, we’ll be ecstatic.

Boosted by a brace, he’s been able to pitch effectively despite the problem.“We knew it was part of the program that there was going to be times during the season that he would need a timeout,” Yankees general manager Brian Cashman said. “So postgame yesterday, he shared with us that he would be best served by skipping a start, so that’s what we’re going to do.”“We knew it was part of managing his knee throughout this particular year. He’s a pro and he’s made us aware and we appreciate that http://www.indiansfanproshop.com/authentic-omar-vizquel-jersey , and it gives us a chance to deviate and allow him to resuscitate and that’s all we’re going to do,” he said.Kontos made his big league debut with the Yankees in 2011.
