Cards top Reds 4-2, clinch tie for 2nd wild card

Sports

October 2nd, 2012 by Ric Hanson

ST. LOUIS (AP) — Jaime Garcia homered off Bronson Arroyo and pitched into the seventh inning, helping the St. Louis Cardinals clinch a tie for the second NL wild card and spoil Dusty Baker’s return from a mini-stroke with a 4-2 victory over the Cincinnati Reds on Monday night. The defending World Series champions have won 11 of 14 and led the Los Angeles Dodgers, playing at home later against San Francisco, by 2 ½ games. The Cardinals have two games to go, the Dodgers three. Arroyo (12-10) threw 73 pitches while allowing three runs over five innings in a tuneup for the postseason. He topped 200 innings for the seventh time but is 0-3 in his last four starts. The Reds are 96-64, tied with the Nationals for the best record in the National League with two games to go, and must finish ahead of Washington to get home-field advantage throughout the postseason after losing the season series.

Chiefs’ Crennel sticks with Cassel at quarterback

Sports

October 1st, 2012 by Ric Hanson

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — Romeo Crennel is sticking with Matt Cassel for now. The Chiefs coach reiterated his stance Monday that Cassel will be the Kansas City Chiefs’ starting quarterback when the Baltimore Ravens visit Arrowhead Stadium next Sunday. Crennel made the declaration unprompted in the minutes after Cassel threw three interceptions and the Chiefs turned the ball over six times in a 37-20 loss to the Chargers over the weekend. Cassel has thrown seven picks and lost three fumbles through four games this season, and many fans are starting to call for Brady Quinn to get a shot at the job. Quinn hasn’t started a game since 2009 with Cleveland.

Iowa State seeking improved QB play

Sports

October 1st, 2012 by Ric Hanson

AMES, Iowa (AP) — Iowa State needs to pump some juice into its offense, and the Cyclones need to do it quickly. That doesn’t mean coach Paul Rhoads is about to change quarterbacks, but it’s a fact of life in the freewheeling Big 12 Conference that a team can’t survive without a productive offense. Iowa State stalled repeatedly in a 24-13 loss to Texas Tech last Saturday. Quarterback Steele Jantz passed for only 73 yards while committing four turnovers, reverting to the form that got him benched last year. Rhoads says Jantz wasn’t the only problem with the offense. He says he’ll watch Jantz and backup Jared Barnett closely in practice before deciding on a starter for Saturday’s game at No. 15 TCU.
