Milwaukees just is in a dysfunctional state," he said. "These are games that we know were supposed to win by a large margin. In this league, you have to kick them when theyre down." After Ilyasova pulled the Bucks within three points, Beal then scored on a driving layup and hit a baseline 3-pointer to give the Wizards a 109-101 lead with 2:01 left.

"We took shortcuts defensively, we just stopped playing," Wittman said.

Mayo, missed the game after being given a one-game suspension for punching New Orleans Greg Stiemsma on Friday night.

"How many innings was that?" he wondered. http://www.clearancevapormax.com/nike-air-vapormax-flyknit-black-black-anthracite-clearance.html . -- A.J. Burnett was happy to escape from New York.PHOENIX - Esmil Rogers dominant, one hit performance over six and a third innings was overshadowed by Edwin Encarnacions personal milestone in the Blue Jays 4-1 win over the Diamondbacks. Encarnacions two run home run in the ninth inning was his 35th of the season, marking a second consecutive year with at least that many, vaulting him into elite Blue Jays company. Only Carlos Delgado (1998-01); Jose Bautista (2010-11); Shawn Green (1998-99) and Fred McGriff (1989-90) had achieved the feat. “When you retire, when you dont be anymore in the game, you want to be remembered,” said Encarnacion. “It makes me feel good and all my family too.” The home run also sent Encarnacion over the 100-RBI mark, also for the second-straight season. “You know, Eddies not just a slugger,” said manager John Gibbons. “Eddie comes up there with a plan. Hes really a student of hitting. He spends a lot of time in that video room watching the pitchers.” Give credit to Encarnacion for some of Brett Lawries success in August (.346/.397/.495.) Lawrie tagged along for many of Encarnacions video sessions, Encarnacion helping Lawrie to identify pitchers tendencies and how they were trying to get the youngster out. “He doesnt say a whole lot, Eddie just keeps to himself but hes really a student of hitting,” said Gibbons. ROMERO RETURNS The Triple-A Buffalo Bisons concluded their International League season on Monday, paving the way for the Blue Jays to take advantage of Septembers expanded rosters. The club announced pitchers Ricky Romero, Kyle Drabek, Luis Perez and Jeremy Jeffress, along with catcher Mike Nickeas, would arrive in Phoenix before the end of the series with the Diamondbacks. Manager John Gibbonns is in the process of determining each of the pitchers roles and wont guarantee Romero or Drabek a start.

Its safe to assume that Melky Cabrera will be transferred to the 60-day disabled list. Josh Johnson, who isnt throwing due to a forearm strain, is another candidate for the 60-day DL. Assuming those two moves are made, the Jays would have to select a player to designate for assignment. BAUTISTA GETTING CHECKED Jose Bautista was in New York City on Monday, visiting orthopedic surgeon and hip specialist Dr. Bryan Kelly, for further medical evaluation on his injured left hip. The slugger has been on the disabled list since August 21 with a bone bruise. Bautista would be eligible to return in time for this weekends series in Minnesota, although it remains unclear when – if – he will back this season. “Well have a better idea in the next couple of days after he sees that doctor,” said manager John Gibbons. “We still have a month left but once he gets cleared to go hes got to build up some baseball stuff again.” NUMBERS GAME Sometimes the numbers just match up.
