| The fact is, Ramos hasn't helped the Twins out much this year. By hitting a paltry .241/.280/.345 in Triple-A Rochester this season, Ramos' value has either dropped significantly, or Minnesota's front office panicked and sold Ramos for less than he was worth.
Expensive though he is,Ken Griffey Jersey, Capps makes the Twins a better team than they were yesterday. Being inserted directly into the ninth inning role, Capps will force the entire bullpen chain down a notch, which should help other Minnesota relievers improve, or, in some cases, take high-leverage innings away from relievers who have no business pitching in them. That he was only able to bring Matt Capps as a return, though, is disappointing. Many thought Ramos was worth much more than an expensive relief pitcher, but a lot of that can probably be attributed to a fan base overvaluing a prospect's worth. While it would be nice to have a Capps-Nathan combo in the 2011 bullpen, the duo would combine to make entirely too much money for the impact they could make on the team as a whole. But while it wouldn't be cost-effective to keep both a functional Nathan and Capps next year, the 26-year old reliever from Washington will be available should Nathan not recover from Tommy John surgery. Manchester United was formed in 1878 by the Carriage and Wagon department of the Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway depot at Newton Heath as Newton Heath LYR Football Club. The team initially played games against other departments and rail companies, but by 1888 the club had become a founding member of The Combination, a regional football league. However, following the league dissolution after just one season, Newton Heath joined the newly formed Football Alliance, which ran for three seasons before being merged with the Football League. This resulted in the club starting the 1892 to 93 season in the First Division, by which time it had become independent of the rail company and dropped the LYR from its name. After just two seasons,Monster Energy New Era Cap, the club was relegated to the Second Division. Greg Fiume Manchester United Football Club is an English professional football club, based in Old Trafford, Greater Manchester,Roy Halladay Jersey, that plays in the Premier League. Founded as Newton Heath LYR Football Club in 1878, the club changed its name to Manchester United in 1902 and moved to Old Trafford in 1910. During a year in which pitchers are being sold for remarkably low prices, the Minnesota Twins announced last night that they had traded Wilson Ramos to the Washington Nationals for closer Matt Capps. On the face of things,Carlos Tevez, it seems a very high price to pay for a closer. * Minnesota's currently outfield deserves a post of its own. The primary culprit for Baker, Slowey, and Blackburn's poor seasons this year, the outfield could use an infusion of range. As Beth Sickella opined last night on Twitter, the Twins should consider giving Cuddyer a few games at third (once Morneau is healthy again, of course) during starts from Slowey and Baker. This will hurt the infield defense, but allow both Repko and Span to play in the outfield. An interesting idea, to say the least. Capps is owed around USD1.3 million for the rest of this season, and is set for another raise for the 2011 campaign. With Joe Nathan expected to attempt a comeback next year, though, Capps may not even be tendered a contract. If Nathan can make a full recovery, Capps would be a very expensive set-up man, to say the least. By bringing in Capps, the Twins will increase their final win total of the regular season by a fraction of a win, at best. Still,Joe Thornton Jersey, in the very tight American League Central, a division that has required a couple Game 163's, even a fraction of a win could make a huge difference. Newton Heath initially played on a field on North Road, close to the railway yard. the original capacity was about 12,000, but club officials deemed the facilities inadequate for a club hoping to join The Football League. Some expansion took place in 1887, and in 1891 Newton Heath used its minimal financial reserves to purchase two grandstands, each able to hold 1,000 spectators. Although attendances were not recorded for many of the earliest matches at North Road, the highest documented attendance was approximately 15,000 for a First Division match against Sunderland on 4 March 1893. A similar attendance was also recorded for a friendly match against Gorton Villa on fifth September 1889. Ramos,Roberto Luongo Jersey, 22, was one of the most-blocked prospects in baseball. Being a catcher in Minnesota's organization doesn't exactly qualify you for much playing time, and Ramos was a virtual lock to be traded eventually. Capps has induced quite a few ground balls this year, and has seen a healthy drop in his fly ball rate. The transition from Nationals Park to Target Field will be negligible,Simon Gagne Jersey, so the Twins are hoping Capps can keep batted balls on the ground. Minnesota's infield is much more prepared to handle an increased work-load than the outfield.* Please read related articles: Donovan McNabb Returns To Philadelphia Pleasure Should Be All Philly is MLB MLB Fantasy Baseball Second Half Ranks Third B Sporting New York Giants Running Back Brandon Jaco |

| Peyton Manning vs. Kyle Orton
At the end of the day, it will be a very difficult test for the Broncos, but one they should be up for. Denver will be desperate to win this game to get back to the .500 mark. What Lies Ahead On the surface,Joe Thornton Jersey, this is a better defense they will be facing; yet the Broncos defense should have an edge on the Titans offensive attack as well. Certainly these will be the points of contingency on sports talk radio in Denver this week, but these are the reasons why sometimes successful coaches choose the boring route. The second time McDaniels chose to go for it on fourth down was in fourth quarter; there was still plenty of time and the Colts were clinging to a seven point lead at 20-13. Youthful Ambition Does Not Equate To Victory Knowshon Moreno was out injured and Correll Buckhalter was used sparingly but only averaged three yards on the ground. It’s possible the Broncos got the short end of the stick with the trade of Hillis for eventual third-stringer Brady Quinn at quarterback. However, it can’t be denied that should these teams happen to meet in the AFC playoffs, the Broncos are one team that are officially starting to pitch some real fits in the Colts direction. So take note—it could be this year or next—but these two teams may be on yet another playoff collision course and this time, the Broncos are the up and comers. Credit McDaniels for helping the Broncos franchise through its most difficult regular season week ever, following the apparent suicide of one of the team's reserve players. It was no doubt a draining week on the franchise; still, McDaniels had his team ready to play on Sunday. Considering the fact that Orton lost his number one target from last season, Brandon Marshall, in a trade with the Miami Dolphins, he couldn’t be credited more with rising to the challenge. The Broncos Run Game Is Still Inept Follow Chaz's national sports feed and other linked list on Twitter. Following mini camps in the spring and officially recognized training camp in between July and August, NFL teams typically play four exhibition games from early August through early September. Each team hosts two games of the four. The exhibition season begins with the Pro Football Hall of Fame Game, so those two teams play five exhibition games each. Historically, the American Bowls were played prior to the NFL scheduling regular season games abroad and those teams faced this similar predicament. Don’t look now, but could this game have actually have had the above billing? This will be another physical test for the Broncos. Now you know, now we all know. Credit McDaniels for having his team ready and focused this week above all other weeks. The Colts are defending AFC Champions after all and the Broncos were very close to dictating the tempo of the game. Manning, not to be outdone,Nicklas Backstrom Jersey, went 27 of 43 for 325 yards and three touchdowns and no interceptions. Manning won the battle and the war, but Orton showed he could carry this Broncos franchise on his shoulders. It was sort of a fitting tribute to their fallen teammate that the air attack would serve the Broncos so well. Through the air, Manning connected with emerging favorite target Austin Collie 12 times for 171 yards and two touchdowns with a long of 48 yards. --- The Broncos offense looked a bit like Mike Leach's old Texas Tech offense. The real ‘X-factor’ of the game will probably be Titan quarterback Vince Young. One thing remains—the Denver Broncos run game is still inept at the point of attack. The plays that kept the distance between the Colts and the Broncos were well intended, yet poorly executed, and in the end showed the difference between age and wisdom and divide with youthful angst or ambition. It’s what will make it hard for the team to part with him at any point in the not too distant future. In the end, the score read 27-13 in favor of the Colts, but the Broncos knew they were their own worst enemy and probably should have found a way to win. Credit the Colts for being a great football team, certainly among the NFL elite. On this day, the youthful ambition and boldness did not lead to victory but it may have made this team better in the long run. This is where hindsight is perfect, but the wisdom of taking the points whenever you can could have paid off for the Broncos. They would have been within one point at 20-19 at that stage in the game and would have been in position to at least tie the game following a Colts touchdown, which eventually did come and put the game out of reach. The Denver Broncos will play at the Tennessee Titans for an early game next Sunday. It’s worth mentioning (again) because it is a point of frustration with Broncos fans: McDaniels has had the talent in-house to help the short-yardage problems and yet, he has fallen short as a coach and as an offensive coordinator in this area specifically. Regardless of the end result, Peyton Manning is after all Peyton Manning and one of the greatest, if not the greatest regular season quarterbacks of all-time. Just a point of note here: Peyton Hillis rushed 22 times for 144 yards and one touchdown with a long run of 48 yards on Sunday with the Browns against the stalwart Ravens defense. Say, wasn’t he available to help the Broncos in short yardage last season as well? The last time Orton threw for over 400 yards,MIKE SCHMIDT Jersey, the Broncos were being throttled by the Kansas City Chiefs in the last game of the 2009 season; on Sunday, Orton went 37 of 57 for 476 yards with one interception and one touchdown. These Broncos were hitting hard from the get go and sending a message to the Colts that they were going to have to earn their way on Sunday. Orton went big with Brandon Lloyd six times for 169 yards and a long of 61 yards that resulted in a field goal; Orton also hooked up with Jabar Gaffney 12 times for 140 yards. He also hooked up with seven other Broncos receivers on the day. Neither team had much of a run game to speak of, with the Colts' top rusher Joseph Addai going 13 carries for 29 yards and the Broncos' Laurence Maroney going 12 for 24 yards. The pass fell incomplete and the pressure was squarely on the Broncos defense the rest of the game. Still, the importance of taking the points when you can cannot be overlooked and hopefully this game will serve McDaniels and the Broncos well into the future. Teams are usually keying on the obvious run downs and crashing the line of scrimmage, causing headaches for the Broncos offensive line and the running backs. The first time the Broncos tripped themselves was some 13 plays and 79 yards following a start from their own 20-yard line. Midway through the second quarter, on fourth and goal from the Colts one, Josh McDaniels chose to go for the touchdown instead of kicking a field goal. Moreover, some in the press have doubted Hillis’ abilities as a starting running back in the NFL. Orton through last season was an NFL football survivor—this season, Orton is turning heads while his game is turning rather savage at the point of attack. So much like last season,ALEX TANGUAY Jersey, the Denver Broncos are starting to prove the critics not to be entirely right about this team early on this season. The Broncos, with all of their injuries along the offensive line and at the running back position,Rodney Harrison Jersey, were penciled in for a 4-12 finish by many prognosticators. The misconception among many was that the Broncos are not a physical football team. Certainly, there are more physical teams; however, Josh McDaniels' crew proved a point Sunday—that they can hang against anyone this season. The Titans are in a three-way tie for first in their division, with the Colts and Texans all holding 2-1 records. Regardless of the fact, the Broncos have to continue to be creative to find solutions to fix the problems of their running game and short yardage situations. Despite the early promise of the Broncos starting Maroney, he only managed to average two yards per carry and just missed scoring a touchdown on the crucial fourth down play. He has intangible talent that can cause fits for defenses in gap control and pocket control when pass plays break down. His skill set is similar to John Elway’s with his ability to adjust on the fly. A touchdown would have made the game 13-7 in favor of the Colts; a field goal would have at least put points on the board. It seemed insignificant at the time and yet when Maroney fell inches short of the goal line prior to the ball crossing the plane,WAYNE GRETZKY Jersey, the feeling of significance undeniably started to creep into the framework of this game. The Broncos started the drive on their own 28 and moved down inside the Colt 15 yard line. On fourth and three, Orton and Lloyd, who had amazing chemistry all afternoon,Dion Phaneuf Jersey, were clearly not on the same page as Orton threw the hot route with Lloyd finishing his route in the Colts end zone. Considering how these two teams faired through the air and on the ground, it was sort of a throwback to the AFL shootouts of old. The orange and blue paid tribute to their fallen teammate, wide receiver Kenny McKinley, prior to the game against the Colts with a moment of silence. McKinley was found dead at his home earlier in the week of an apparent suicide. Following Ian Penny resignation, the NFL does not have a strong leader. It was widely speculated that former Major League Baseball Players Association Executive Director Donald Fehr would be appointed to this position in Aug 2010. However, a day after the speculation reached a climax on August 26th, both NFL Interim Director Mike Ouellet and Deputy Commissioner and chief legal officer of the NFL Bill Daly have disputed the claims that it is all hearsay, and nothing is concrete between the NFL and Donalf Fehr. Manning was pressured into coverage incompletions much of the day. Doug Pensinger The National football League Players Association or NFL is the labor union for the group of professional football players who are under Standard Player Contracts to the thirty member clubs in the National football League located in the United States and Canada. The Association represents its membership in all matters dealing with their working conditions and contractual rights as well as serving as their exclusive collective bargaining agent. The Indianapolis Colts are the defending AFC Champions and one of the odds on favorites to emerge in the AFC again. Because of that, the Denver Broncos can hang their hat with their effort on Sunday afternoon. The Broncos showed they could go toe to toe and punch for punch with the best of them, the very best of them — and they did it with a heavy heart.
