Talk » year as part of their 2013 deal. The Rangers are

PITTSBURGH -- The New York Jets have lost three straight for the first time in 21 games under Todd Bowles, and the coach is pointing the finger at himself.I take all the blame; Im the head coach, Bowles said Sunday after a 31-13 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers at Heinz Field. Well go where I go. Were 1-4. That falls on me.As I lead, they follow. I need to do a better job of leading these guys and getting them prepared. We have to move on from there. You can put it all on me.During the losing streak, the Jets have been outscored 37-7 in the second half, sparking criticism that Bowles hasnt made the proper adjustments.This league is week to week, Bowles said. You can be a Super Bowl contender one week and getting buried the next week. Now, were getting buried.Injuries are starting to mount. Center Nick Mangold (right knee) and linebacker David Harris (right hamstring), the teams longest-tenured players, suffered injuries Sunday and didnt return. Mangold said he expects an MRI exam on Monday. Cornerback Darrelle Revis (hamstring) did not play.The Jets travel to the Arizona Cardinals (2-3) next Monday night, their fourth straight game against 2015 playoff teams.The latest loss made for a bizarre postgame locker room.Defensive end Sheldon Richardson got into a back-and-forth with reporters, accusing them of trying to bait him into criticizing teammates.Preparing for Arizona, a surly Richardson said in response to the first five questions before expressing his displeasure.On the other side of the room, wide receiver Brandon Marshall painted an optimistic picture.Its weird because were 1-4, he said. Well get beat up in the media. Our players, including myself, will be called out. People will be asking to bench us, but this is a perfect position for us.We have great talent in this room, one of the most talented teams in the league, Marshall continued. We can do one of two things: We can fold up and cry or we can stick together and continue to work.When the upcoming Monday night was mentioned, Marshalls face brightened.Monday night! he exclaimed. Im already over this loss. Were going to turn this around, I promise you that. Woo!With that, Marshall clapped his hands three times, loudly.Starting right now, he said. I promise you that.Roger Maris Yankees Jersey . LOUIS -- Cardinals cleanup hitter Allen Craig says hes recovered from a foot injury and ready to be put on St. Domingo German Yankees Jersey . Mitch Holmberg added a goal and three assists. Connor Chartier also scored for the Chiefs (3-0-0). Luke Harrison spoiled Garrett Hughsons shutout bid with a power-play goal at 13:17 of the third period. The Spokane goaltender finished with 28 saves, including a Brandon Fushimi penalty shot in the second period that would have tied the game 1-1. https://www.cheapyankees.com/431g-cameron-maybin-jersey-yankees.html . -- The proud fathers huddled near the Dallas Stars dressing room, smiling, laughing and telling stories while wearing replica green sweaters of their sons team. Roger Clemens Yankees Jersey . LOUIS -- Heading into the final stretch of the season, the issues for the Chicago Bears banged-up defence only seem to be getting worse. Aaron Hicks Yankees Jersey .J. -- Seven games into a disappointing season, New York Giants defensive catalyst Jason Pierre-Paul is getting the feeling hes back.ARLINGTON, Texas -- Prince Fielder wiped away tears, pointed to his two sons sitting next to him and talked about being in big league clubhouses since he was their age.Still wearing a neck brace 12 days after a second cervical fusion, the burly 32-year-old Fielder wept Wednesday as he said health issues were forcing him to end his 12-season career.To not be able to play, its going to be tough, said Fielder, once one of the most durable players in the majors.His sons -- one who turns 12 next week and the other 10 -- sat with him at the podium, mostly with their heads down and also shedding tears. They have been regulars at the ballpark with their dad, much like he often was with his father, Cecil, a slugger who played 13 seasons for five teams.The kids actually love baseball more than Prince. It was a sad moment, teammate Elvis Andrus said. You rarely see him like that.All of Fielders teammates, along with Rangers coaches and staff, filled the interview room to support him.When the Rangers acquired him in November 2013 for second baseman Ian Kinsler, the first baseman had played at least 157 games every year since 2006, and appeared in 809 of 810 possible games the five seasons But Fielder was limited to 289 games in Texas because of two neck surgeries in just more than two years.Even though I know I struggled personally this year, this was actually the most fun Ive ever had and the best Ive ever felt mentally about baseball, Fielder said. Thats the only thing that really hurts about not being able to play is that my brain was really good, with my body, just, you know, it just gave out.Fielder will finish his career with 319 career homers, the same number that his father had playing one more season but 141 fewer games. The only other father-son duo with more than 300 homers each is Bobby and Barry Bonds.After being limited to 42 games in his Rangers debut in 2014, Fielder talked about how much he missed baseball and returned last season with a revived passion for the game.Primarily a designated hitter in 2015, Fielder hit .305 with 23 homers and 98 RBI in 158 games, though midway through the season again started feeling symptoms related to neck issues. He then struggled throughout this year, hitting a career-low .dddddddddddd.212 with eight homers and 44 RBI in 89 games until finally getting an exam three weeks ago while the team was in Los Angeles.Scott Boras, Fielders agent, said they figured it was just a precautionary exam and that maybe he would spend some time on the disabled list, but nothing like this.An MRI showed a herniation between Fielders C4 and C5 disks, just above where he first had surgery in May 2014. Doctors were already recommending that he quit playing before the second surgery July 29.To just suddenly have the lights turned out like that ... were pretty steadied and pretty prepared, but to get that phone call, I was really taken back, Boras said.Fielder was only two years into a $214 million, nine-year contract when he got to Texas. That guaranteed deal goes through 2020, for $24 million each season.While no longer playing, Fielder didnt formally retire, meaning the Rangers would have him on the 60-day disabled list during the regular season but would have to add him to their 40-man roster each offseason until the end of the contract.The Tigers owe Texas $6 million a year as part of their 2013 deal. The Rangers are responsible for the remaining $18 million, though about half of their liability could be covered by disability insurance.Over 1,611 major league games with the Brewers (2005-11), Tigers (2012-13) and Rangers (2014-16), Fielder was a six-time All-Star who hit .283 with 1,028 RBI.When the game is taken away from you like that, I dont think that its easy to handle, 37-year-old Texas third baseman Adrian Beltre said. Its easier when you yourself say, `You know what, I had enough. Im going to go home and be with my family. But when you go home because you cant do it anymore, thats different.Fielder said that when he gets the brace off -- This is killing me, this is terrible, he said -- he will be back with the AL West leaders.Theyve got work to do, Ive got some cheerleading to do, Fielder said. And hopefully win the World Series and pop the champagne.---AP Sports Writer Schuyler Dixon contributed to this report. ' ' '
