OAKLAND, Calif. Nike Free 6.0 Laufschuhe Rosa Blau Weiß . - Good riddance, August. The Boston Red Sox are surely ready for September after reaching new 2012 lows in Oakland. Ex-Boston player Brandon Moss had career highs of four hits, four RBIs and four runs, Josh Reddick hit his first career grand slam against his former club, and the surging, surprising Athletics routed the Red Sox 20-2 on Friday night to match their best winning streak of the season at seven. "Nothing to talk about. The score was 20-2!" second baseman Dustin Pedroia said. Boston finished the month at 9-20 for the teams worst August since a 9-21 showing in 2006. Another thump for the Red Sox the week they unloaded their roster. Josh Donaldson homered for the third straight game with a two-run shot and Moss also had a two-run drive to go with two RBI doubles to help back Brandon McCarthy (8-5) with a season high in runs. Reddick connected for his 28th homer in the seventh off Mark Melancon as the As scored their most runs since a 23-2 win over Texas on Sept. 30, 2000. They handed the Red Sox their most lopsided loss since a 22-1 defeat to the Yankees on June 19, 2000. The As had a season-best 19 hits and scored 20 runs for the fourth time in Oakland history, while Boston allowed 20 for the first time since Aug. 21, 2009, against the Yankees. Oakland has won six straight against Boston — the Red Soxs longest skid in the series since also dropping six straight in 1969. "It wasnt any fun for anyone, thats for sure, except for the guys on the other side," Red Sox manager Bobby Valentine said. George Kottaras had his first career two-homer game with a two-run drive and a solo shot on the way to a career-best five RBIs for Oakland (74-57), which matched its win total from 2011 and wrapped up an 18-10 August. The As hit a season-high five home runs a day after hitting four at Cleveland. Oaklands nine-run seventh inning was the clubs biggest since a nine-run frame last July 27 against Tampa Bay. Jonny Gomes drove in two runs on a night he helped honour the Little League World Series players from his hometown of Petaluma in Northern Californias wine country. "I dont know that I can ask for much more than 20 runs," As manager Bob Melvin said. Donaldson added his third RBI on an error in the seventh, but was lifted for pinch-runner Adam Rosales at third after feeling some tightness in his right hip flexor. He hoped to play Saturday. McCarthy won consecutive starts for the first time since June, and it was good timing with the As leading Baltimore by a game in the AL wild-card race heading into the final month. The right-hander missed all of July while on the disabled list for a second time this year nursing a strained throwing shoulder. Donaldson connected for his fifth home run of the year in Oaklands four-run second against Aaron Cook (3-8), who also surrendered an RBI double to Moss and run-scoring single by Gomes during the inning. "I feel bad for the other team having to pitch to that," McCarthy said. Cooks night was over after just 2 2-3 innings to match his shortest outing of the season. The right-hander was tagged for six runs and seven hits and fell to 0-3 over his last four starts. Jarrod Saltalamacchia hit a two-out solo homer in the fourth for Boston, which lost its fourth straight game after being swept by the Angels in Los Angeles. "It doesnt help the team any," he said of the latest loss. "I think a game like tonight, you dont see too many of. ... We didnt expect to be where we are right now." Oakland returned from a 6-1 road trip to notch another impressive win on a night when the Petaluma Little Leaguers, third in the Little League World Series, played catch with the As on the field before the game and were honoured in a pregame ceremony. While Oakland is expected to activate third baseman Brandon Inge from the disabled list when rosters expand Saturday, Melvin will have a tough time taking Donaldsons hot bat out of the lineup — as long as he is still healthy. Inge has been on the DL since Aug. 12 with a sprained right shoulder. Second baseman Cliff Pennington made a great catch on a shallow fly ball by Jacoby Ellsbury to end the third, sprinting backward to complete the play, then hit an RBI double in the seventh. Stephen Drew also got into the seventh-inning fun with an RBI single. Everybody on the Oakland roster scored. Pedroia extended his hitting streak to 11 games with a first-inning single for the new-look Red Sox, who last week sent a handful of former stars to Southern California to join the Los Angeles Dodgers as they try to make a push in the NL West against the first-place San Francisco Giants. Notes: Red Sox DH David Ortiz could rejoin the club at Seattle early next week or once the team gets back home after he received an injection in his strained right Achilles that landed him on the DL this past Monday. ... RHP A.J. Griffin (3-0) will be recalled by Oakland to start Saturday as LHP Brett Anderson gets an extra day of rest before pitching Sunday. ... Oakland leads the season series 6-1 and have won more than five games in a single year against the Red Sox for the first time since going 7-3 in 2006, the As last year in the playoffs. ... The 18 runs allowed by Boston matched its most of 2012, also April 17 against Texas. The Red Sox gave up nine runs in an inning for the first time since Sept. 27, 2006, against the Rays. nike Free Online Schweiz . Garrard has not played in the NFL since 2010.

Wayne Simmonds and Jakub Voracek scored to lead the Flyers to their first win of the season, 2-1 over the New York Rangers on Thursday night. NEW YORK -- Peyton Manning and Adrian Peterson want to cap their sensational comebacks with Super Bowl appearances. For now, they can be proud of Pro Bowl spots. So can Redskins quarterback Robert Griffin III, one of two rookies chosen Wednesday for the Jan. 27 NFL all-star game. Manning missed all of the 2011 season with neck and back problems that required several operations. He then signed with Denver as a free agent and has led the Broncos on a 10-game winning streak to take the AFC West. "I know theres great players out there in the NFL, but theres some great players on this team this year that deserve to go," said Manning, whose 12th Pro Bowl is a record for quarterbacks. He ranks fourth in league passing this year, has thrown 34 touchdowns and 11 interceptions. Four other Broncos made the AFC roster: DE Elvis Dumervil, linebacker Von Miller, CB Champ Bailey and tackle Ryan Clady. Baileys 12th appearance is a record for defensive backs. "My goal has always been to go out and help the team win and play at a high level," Manning added. "Anything that comes along with that, like being honoured as a Pro Bowl selection, is very humbling." Minnesotas Peterson tore up his left knee on Christmas Eve last year, underwent major surgery, then was back for the season opener. Hes gone from uncertain to unstoppable, running away with the rushing title with a career-high 1,898 yards and lifting the Vikings toward an NFC wild card. "Coming into the season after going through the rehab process, I just told myself that I wanted to lead my team to a championship and make sure that I contribute and do my part," Peterson said. "Ive been doing it." Griffin is one of three rookie QBs who had superb debut seasons, along with Andrew Luck of Indianapolis and Russell Wilson of Seattle. Luck and Wilson werent voted to the Pro Bowl by players, coaches and fans, although their teams are in the playoffs; Griffin can get to the post-season if Washington beats Dallas on Sunday. "You cant play down those kind of things," Griffin said. "Ive always said my whole football career that you dont play for awards. They just come. You dont say youre going to win the Heisman. You dont say youre going to win MVP. You go out and you prove it on the field, and if everyone feels that way then theyll give you that award." San Francisco had the most players selected, nine, including six from its second-ranked defence. Houston was next with eight, six on offence. Kansas City, despite its 2-13 record that is tied with Jacksonville for worst in the league, had five Pro Bowlers, including RB Jamaal Charles, who like Peterson is coming back from a torn ACL. One other rookie, Minnesota kicker Blair Walsh, was chosen. Walsh has nine field goals of at least 50 yards, an NFL mark. The AFC kicker is at the other end of the spectrum: Clevelands Phil Dawson earned his first selection in his 14th NFL season. "I deliberately tried not to know," Dawson said. "We wanted to watch the show with my kids. I had a really good idea what was going on, but it was a pretty priceless moment when we saw the name flash up on the screen. My kids went nuts cause my wife went nuts. That makes these 15 years of waiting worth it." Another record setter will be heading to Honolulu: Detroit WR Calvin Johnson. Johnson broke Jerry Rices single-season yards receiving record and has 1,892 yards with a game left. Falcons tight end Tony Gonzalez set the record for Pro Bowls at his position by being chosen for the 13th time. The leagues top two sackmasters, DEs Aldon Smith of San Francisco and J.J. Watt of Houston, were first-time selections. Watt has 20 1-2 sacks, one ahead of Smith; the NFL record is 22 1-2. Other newcomers, along with Griffin, Walsh and Dawson, were AFC players tackle Duane Brown and guard Wade Smith of Houston; safety LaRon Landry of the Jets; kick returner Jacoby Jones of Baltimore; and punter Dustin Colquitt of Kansas City. For the NFC, first-timers were Giants WR Victor Cruz; Atlanta WR Julio Jones; Seattle tackle Russell Okung and centre Max Unger; San Francisco guard Mike Iupati, linebacker NaVorro Bowman and safety Donte Whitner; Chicago cornerback Tim Jennings and defensive tackle Henry Melton; Washington tackle Trent Williams and special teamer Lorenzo Alexander; Minnesota fullback Jerome Felton; Tampa Bay DT Gerald McCoy; and New Orleans punter Thomas Morstead. Eight teams had no Pro Bowl players: Carolina, Philadelphia and St. Louis in the NFC, Tennessee, Buffalo, Jacksonville, San Diego and Oakland in the AFC.
