GREEN BAY, Wis. - Playing a road game against a division rival raises the intensity for linebacker Clay Matthews.Theyre fun games to play, and I think more so just talking from the fan aspect of it a€” the fans hate you, Matthews said Friday. Thats something to thrive on when you play on the road.After missing Green Bays two games against the Chicago Bears last season, the Packers defensive standout anticipates playing Sunday when the NFLs oldest rivals meet for the first time this season.Matthews, who has a groin injury, is probable for the game against the Bears.Provided theres no setbacks, I expect myself to be out there on Sunday, Matthews said.Matthews has practiced on a limited basis this week after suffering the injury in the second half of the Packers 19-7 loss at Detroit last Sunday. Matthews didnt finish the game.The Packers didnt practice Friday. But coach Mike McCarthy had encouraging news after the teams medical staff evaluated Matthews on Friday morning.So far, so good, McCarthy said. The medical review, the report today was good on Clay. We still have 48 hours (before the game), so were confident that hell be ready to go. But hes still working through it.Matthews reported to be feeling good and noted how his recovery from his first groin injury improved throughout the week.Yesterday was a big step in the right direction from Wednesday, Matthews said of his involvement in practice those two days, and today Im sure would have been.McCarthy implemented a new schedule this season with the Packers off the field on Friday before a Sunday game, but having a light practice on Saturday.I think its good for me, Matthews said. And then tomorrow well fly around, break a sweat and feel good going into Sunday. I dont anticipate there being any problems.Having Matthews ready for Sunday should be a plus for Green Bay, which is looking to avoid starting the season 1-3 for the first time since 2006, when it finished 8-8 in McCarthys first year at the helm.Matthews has hurt the Bears as a pass rusher in his career. He has eight sacks in nine games against Chicago since his rookie season in 2009, including the Packers NFC championship victory at Soldier Field in the 2010 season.In the rivals two games in 2012, Matthews had 5 1/2 sacks against Bears quarterback Jay Cutler as Green Bay swept the season series.A broken thumb kept Matthews from playing both games against the Bears the second half of last season.Matthews said he was at home watching Green Bay end the regular season with a dramatic 33-28 comeback win at Chicago on a final-minute, fourth down touchdown pass by Aaron Rodgers. The Packers clinched a third straight NFC North title and took a playoff spot from the Bears.Itll be good to get out there again, kind of put my foot back into that whole Packers-Bears rivalry and just make an impact, really, Matthews said.And Matthews expects to be able to play without limitations Sunday against a versatile Bears offence he ranks as Chicagos best in his six years as a pro.I think weve talked about this with my injuries in the past that I wouldnt be out there if I wasnt full go with the caveat that well be smart, Matthews said. Well monitor the reps, especially going into a Thursday night game (against Minnesota) the following week.But well see how it goes, well see how it plays out, well see what theyre coming out with in their personnel, their scheme and where were at in the game.NOTES: Also probable for the Packers are RT Bryan Bulaga (knee), CB Davon House (knee) and LB Nick Perry (wrist). WR Jarrett Boykin and LB Brad Jones (quadriceps) are questionable. Boykin, who already was recovering from a knee injury this week, suffered a groin injury in practice Thursday.___Online: http://pro32.ap.org/poll and http://twitter.com/AP_NFL Cheap Barry Bonds Jersey .

Cheap Juan Marichal Jersey . -- Felix Girard scored on the power play in the third period to lift the Baie-Comeau Drakkar past the Blainville-Boisbriand Armada 4-3 in Quebec Major Junior Hockey League action Friday.PITTSBURGH -- Languishing near the bottom of the NL Central a year after making the playoffs, the Pittsburgh Pirates couldnt wait any longer for struggling left-handed starter Wandy Rodriguez to get it together. The Pirates designated the 35-year-old veteran for assignment Thursday, less than 24 hours after Rodriguez gave up six runs in 1 2-3 innings in a 9-8 victory over Baltimore. "In our mind we felt best served to cut ties because in my mind Im thinking, You know what? Ive seen guys of his ilk pitch backwards and recreate themselves. ... We didnt feel that was our best option," manager Clint Hurdle said. "Hes healthy his arm is healthy. He said it best, Sometimes you give everything you got and its not good enough." Rodriguez was 0-2 with a 6.75 ERA in six starts this season. He spent time on the disabled list earlier in the year with a right knee inflammation. Though he insisted the knee was "OK" after his poor outing on Wednesday, Rodriguez allowed he was frustrated by his ineffectiveness. The Pirates plan to fill Rodriguezs spot in the rotation with either right-hander Brandon Cumpton or left-hander Jeff Locke, an unlikely All-Star a year ago. Cumpton is 0-1 with a 4.26 ERA in two starts with Pittsburgh this season and has been dominant at Triple-A Indianapolis, where he is 4-1 with a 1.35 ERA. Locke is 1-1 with a 3.86 ERA at Triple-A. "Wevve got a really good, real challenging decision," general manager Neal Huntington said.dddddddddddd "Weve got the ability to make a change if it doesnt work or have another option come up if we face another injury while we probably will." Cutting Rodriguez will be costly for a team with one of baseballs lowest payrolls. Acquired in a trade with Houston in 2012, Rodriguez is scheduled to make $13 million this season, with the Pirates picking up $7 million of the tab. Rodriguez went 11-10 with a 4.16 ERA in 30 starts with the Pirates. Huntington acknowledged the move will certainly raise eyebrows in a clubhouse that began Thursday at just 19-26 and well back of front-running Milwaukee in the NL Central. Yet Huntington felt its one the team had to make. Pittsburghs starting rotation -- a major strength while the team pushed to its first playoff berth in more than two decades last fall -- has regressed significantly. The four starters not named Gerrit Cole are a combined 1-17 this season. Pittsburgh replaced Rodriguez on the roster Thursday by activating catcher Russell Martin from the disabled list. Martin hasnt played since straining his left hamstring against St. Louis on April 25. He will have to serve a one-game suspension for his role in a brawl against the Milwaukee Brewers last month and is expected to return to the lineup on Friday against Washington.
