Calgary Stampeders quarterback Bo Levi Mitchell will look to tie a CFL record tonight as the undefeated Stampeders travel to Edmonton to face the undefeated Eskimos.
Sammy Sosa Cubs Jersey . A win would be Mitchells seventh straight to begin his CFL career, which would tie the league mark currently held by former Stampeders star Jeff Garcia. The third-year pro has been solid for Calgary, having thrown for 781 yards with six TDs against no interceptions, joining Ottawas Henry Burris as the only league starters not to have been picked off. Mitchell also sports the CFLs top efficiency rating of 116.2. You can catch the all the action tonight on TSN starting at 8:30pm et/5:30pm pt. On the other side of the ball, Mike Reilly and the surprising Edmonton Eskimos will look to go 5-0 on the season with a victory. Last weekend, Reilly and Co., faced the Winnipeg Blue Bombers in a battle of 3-0 clubs. Reilly threw for 192 yards and a TD and added a game-high 96 yards rushing while the Eskimos defence recorded five sacks en route to a convincing 26-3 victory. Edmonton won just four games last year. Reilly has played a big role in Edmontons transformation. The second-year starter is third overall in passing yards (930) but has completed a solid 65.5 per cent of his passes and thrown a league-best eight touchdowns. Hes also a dual threat, standing sixth overall in rushing with a team-leading 199 yards and is averaging 8.3 yards per attempt. Reilly and Mitchell are also surrounded by a solid supporting cast. Edmonton and Calgary are both averaging over 100 yards rushing per game — an impressive accomplishment for the Stampeders considering theyll again be minus CFL MVP Jon Cornish (concussion). Calgary has also done a solid job of protecting Mitchell, allowing a league-low three sacks. Edmonton counters with a defence thats recorded a league-best 18 sacks, not a surprise given rookie head coach Chris Jones reputation for being innovative in how he designs and disguises his pressure packages. The Eskimos have also recorded a CFL-leading nine interceptions, six more than their closest rival. But Calgarys defence isnt exactly chopped liver, either. Its first overall in fewest points allowed (10 per game), touchdowns (one), rushing yards (71 per game), is tied with B.C. and Toronto for fewest rushing TDs (one) and hasnt surrendered a passing touchdown this season. And although the Stampeders have 10 sacks — which leaves them tied for sixth overall with expansion Ottawa — they do still have Charleston Hughes, who posed a league-leading 18 sacks last year. Calgary has dominated the series of late, having amassed a 15-5 head-to-head record dating back to 08, although 11 contests have been decided in the final three minutes. Heres expecting that trend to continue. Calgary and Edmonton are the last two undefeated teams in the CFL.
Andre Dawson Jersey . The Jays responded to the three-spot Detroit placed on Casey Janssen the evening before with an attack on the Tigers Achilles Heel, its bullpen, tying the game in the ninth and winning the game in the 10th. The result absolved Marcus Stroman, brilliant once again, of a tough luck loss while at the same time robbing Max Scherzer, brilliant once again, of a deserved win.
Cole Hamels Cubs Jersey . "Right now were kind of looking at him at the end of the rotation right now," said pitching coach Pete Walker. "Not indicative of how hes doing or how hes feeling. Its just, it seems like the spot we want him right now.BERLIN -- League leader Bayern Munich won 2-0 at Borussia Moenchengladbach on Friday as the Bundesliga resumed after a five-week winter break. Mario Goetze opened the scoring in the seventh minute, when he was left in space to dispatch the ball first time inside the far post after Thomas Muellers cut-back from the right. Goetze had grazed the outside of the post just a minute before, when he did well to flick the ball over a defender. Mueller made it 2-0 from the penalty spot in the 54th, after Granit Xhaka was penalized for using his arm in a goalmouth scramble. Marc-Andre ter Stegen had just pulled off two fine reflex saves to deny Goetze. Moenchengladbach, previously unbeaten at home, twice struck the post -- through Max Kruse in the 40th after a quick throw-in, and then in the 64th, when Patrick Herrmann let fly from a difficult angle. "Bayern were simply better than we were today," said Ter Stegen, who had more touches of the ball than any other Moenchengladbach player. "When things are going well for Bayern its nearly impossible.&quuot; Bayern stretched its league record unbeaten run to 42 games, and opened up a 10-point lead over Bayer Leverkusen ahead of the rest of the weekends games.
Greg Maddux Cubs Jersey. Bayern, the defending champion, still has to play its game in hand at Stuttgart on Wednesday. "If we keep playing like this well be German champions," Bayern president Uli Hoeness said. Mario Mandzukic was left out the visitors squad. Sporting director Matthias Sammer said before the game that the Croatian striker hadnt been training well enough. "I heard he wasnt training well, but I hope its behind us next week, because we need Mario for the important games this season," said Hoeness, who said he didnt know if Robert Lewandowskis signing from Borussia Dortmund for next season had had an effect. Guardiola wouldnt be drawn on Mandzukics omission. "What happens in the team I discuss in the training room, not with the media," Guardiola said. Franck Ribery and Javi Martinez had also been left out, with back and ankle problems respectively. ' ' '
