ST. nike air max 90 leather dam . LOUIS -- George Brett is giving coaching a month. The greatest player in Kansas City Royals history isnt sure teaching is his forte and doesnt know if players will listen. Before hustling to the batting cage to start his job and greet well-wishers that included his former manager Whitey Herzog, the teams high profile interim batting coach certainly gave a fiery acceptance speech. "Im scared to death right now, to be honest with you," Brett said Thursday night. "But Im looking forward to the challenge." Not too scared to call out Mike Moustakas, Eric Hosmer and the teams other underachieving youngsters. Brett said hed do all he could, but added they must be accountable. "I mean, get rid of whats that baby stuff? Baby Gerber or something?" Brett said. "Get rid of the bottles, lets go. Lets go!" The 60-year-old Hall of Famer accepted the job after calls from general manager Dayton Moore and manager Ned Yost, telling Yost hed think about it. All it took was one more loss. "I just .... give it a try," Brett said. "So Im going to give it a try." Brett and Moore plan to meet in a month to assess the situation, and then again two weeks after that. Brett did most of the talking at a news conference with Moore and Yost. "I dont know if Im going to be good at this," Brett said. "If Im not doing my job, I dont want Dayton to feel like he has to fire me. "This could be something I just could not stand to do, I dont know," he said. "The players and I might not hit it off, I dont know." The Royals had lost eight in a row before playing the Cardinals on Thursday. They were 13th in the American League in runs, and scored two or fewer runs 11 times during an extended 4-19 drought that dropped them to last place in the Central Division. Brett takes over for Jack Maloof and Andre David, who were reassigned to the minor league organization. This will be Bretts first in-season coaching role, though hes been the franchises vice-president of baseball operations since retiring as a player following the 1993 season. Hes also worked as a volunteer coach at spring training for years and Yost said it was no celebrity stint. "George doesnt come the second week in spring training and stay 10 days," Yost said. "Ive never seen a Hall of Famer with the work ethic that he has. "George never half-ran a ball to first base in his life, George was never the last one out of the dugout in his life," Yost added. "Im just excited hes here." The Royals have asked Brett to do this before and he has declined because his children were young and he wasnt ready to be away from them for the 162-game grind. With kids in college, Brett said, "Im not missing them growing up anymore." Yost dumped hitting coach Kevin Seitzer following last season, and said at the time that he wanted to develop an offence that flashed more power. The Royals rank near the bottom of the league in runs, walks, homers, RBIs and just about every other statistical category. Brett has kept his pulse on the organization by working in the front office, and earlier this week lamented during a radio interview the teams misfortune. Bretts no fan of video. He prefers players learn on the job and repair their swing during the at-bat, and he wants them to just be themselves. "Im sick and tired of watching guys try to hit three-run home runs with nobody on base when youre down two runs in the eighth inning," Brett said. "Lets do what youre capable of doing. Dont try to be a hero, just be a soldier." The familiar No. 5 was retired in 1993 after a career that spanned two decades and ended with Brett as the Royals hit leader with 3,154. He remains the only player in major league history to win batting titles in three different decades, including a memorable 1980 season in which he hit .390. The 13-time All-Star is the clubs career leader in every offensive category besides stolen bases, and he was a first-ballot Hall of Fame selection in 1999. The Royals also said Pedro Grifol will serve as a special assignment coach, and Grifol also was in uniform Thursday. He is in his first year with the Royals, where hes been working as the hitting coach for the clubs team in Surprise, Ariz. He spent the past 13 seasons with the Mariners organization. Moore said no more changes are anticipated in the near future. nike free 5.0 dam . Johns in second-round Southeast Region action.

The veteran centre scored with 1:07 left in the third period to break a tie and then added an empty-net goal to give the Canadiens a 5-3 victory over the Columbus Blue Jackets on Thursday night. Montreal had blown a 3-0 lead and was having all they could handle in holding off the Jackets young forwards when Plekanec came over the blue-line and fooled goalie Sergei Bobrovsky by taking a quick shot along the ice instead of passing off to open winger Brandon Prust. The puck went in off the goalpost to give Montreal (5-2-0) its fourth straight win. "I tried a no-look shot on the goalie," said Plekanec, who had been off to a slow start with only one goal in his first six games. "I had Prust on the left side, but I wanted to make sure I didnt make a turnover, so I put it on the net. I kind of got lucky." The Blue Jackets got a power play in the final minute, but Plekanec was sent in alone by Prust for the empty netter with 16 seconds remaining. It was Montreals second short-handed goal of the game. "Its great, especially after a slow start for myself and our line," he said. Michael Bournival got his first NHL goal and Rene Bourque also scored for Montreal, while defenceman P.K. Subban had two assists for 10 points in his last six games. Rookie Boone Jenner scored his first two NHL goals and Ryan Johansen got his first of the season for Columbus (2-4-0), which has lost three in a row. Jenner got both his goals by going to the net to pick up rebounds on power plays. The first came during the same Columbus man advantage that Markov scored a short-handed goal on at 6:52 of the second frame to put the Canadiens up by three goals. "It was pretty special," said Jenner. "And we got some momentum off of it, so it was good. "Its a pretty cool building to get it in, obviously. I watched the Habs a lot growing up in Ontario. So its kind of cool. Its one Ill remember for sure." A Columbus lineup missing Marian Gaborik (flu) and Nathan Horton (shoulder) played with energy even after going down 2-0 in the first period, and made it a gripping, end to end contest for the 21,273 Bell Centre fans. "Were a team that never quits," said 20-year-old Jenner. "Were not going to change our game no matter wwhat the score is. nike air max 90 herr. We were down 3-0 and we started to pick it up. Getting a couple of power plays got us rolling a bit." Montreal coach Michel Therrien called it the kind of game that fans love but that gives coaches grey hair. Montreal had a 36-33 shot advantage. Therrien was concerned his team would come out flat in its first game at home after a four-game trip to western Canada but, led by Subban, they burst out of the gate. Bourque, who has also been battling the flu, was alone at the far blue-line during a power play for a long pass up the middle from Subban that turned into a breakaway goal only 4:38 into the game. Subban drew two opponents away to get the puck to Andrei Markov for a clever cross-ice pass that Bournival didnt get all of, but the captain of the 2012 Memorial Cup champion Shawinigan Cataractes saw it slide through Bobrovskys pads at 12:01 of the first. Markov made it 3-0 with a short-handed goal as his weak shot from the point went off a stick and past Bobrovsky 6:52 into the second frame. Columbus struck back on the same power play as Jenner picked up Johansens rebound and lifted it past Carey Price at 7:41. Johansen elected to shoot on a 2-on-1 and scored his first of the season at 17:11. Jenner tied it on the power play 3:42 into the third when he scooped up Mark Letestus rebound off Prices shoulder and put a backhand shot under the crossbar. It looked to be headed for overtime when Plekanec surprised Bobrovsky and most of the crowd with his game-winning shot. "He made it look like he was going to dish it off to the guy going with speed on the other side and then he just threw it across his body," Price said of the Plekanec goal. "I know it caught (Bobrovsky) by surprise because he was a good couple of feet off where he should have been." The Canadiens started a five-game homestand that see them face Nashville on Saturday night. The Jackets end a three-game road trip Saturday in Washington. Notes: Sean Collins, who made his first start of the season, replaced Gaborik. . . Had Bourque not played, defenceman Nathan Beaulieu would have skated on the fourth line. Beaulieu was scratched. . .
