Talk » squad will be a different one with Bellefeuil

No Jose Bautista, no problem. At least thats the hope for the Toronto Blue Jays on Friday night when they host the Chicago White Sox for the second of a four-game series. Bautista has missed four games thanks to a hamstring injury, but the Blue Jays have won three times while scoring 25 runs and compiling a .324 batting average without him. The teams 1-2-3 hitters -- Jose Reyes, Adam Lind and Melky Cabrera -- put together eight hits, four runs batted in and four runs scored in the series opener on Thursday. Bautista could be back for the weekend portion of the series. On the contrary, the Chicago pitching rotation has posted a 5.83 earned run average during an 11-game road stretch in which the White Sox have won just once. R.A. Dickey gets the starting call for the Blue Jays with a chance to end a two-start skid in which hes allowed just five runs in 14 1/3 innings, but had only four runs of offensive support. "I think all but one of my earned runs over my last four or five starts have come on home runs," Dickey said. "Thats tough to overcome." Hes unbeaten in his last seven starts at home, but the White Sox pasted him for seven runs in five innings of a 10-6 Chicago victory when they last met last season. Lefty John Danks goes for the White Sox and faces the Blue Jays for the seventh time. However, hes not met them since May 2011, when he lasted just four innings and gave up nine runs in a 13-4 loss. Danks was a 6-5 loser on Sunday at Minnesota while allowing six runs on 10 hits in five innings. On Thursday, J.A. Happ tossed 7 2/3 scoreless innings as the Blue Jays blanked the White Sox, 7-0. Happ (7-4) struck out eight and scattered four hits while walking two for Toronto. Lind posted three hits and three RBI in the triumph, while Reyes had four hits, two runs scored and an RBI. Scott Carroll (2-4) yielded five runs on nine hits and two walks over five innings for the White Sox. Fake NHL Jerseys .

Hall will lead the Blue Bombers (1-6) into Guelph, Ont., on Saturday for the second of a home-and-home series against the Hamilton Tiger-Cats (3-4). Catch the action live on TSN and TSN Mobile TV, today at 12:30pm et/9:30am pt. Hamilton beat Winnipeg 37-18 at Investors Group Field last week in Halls first start with the team. The Arizona Cardinals quarterback was 18-for-30 passing for 241 yards with a touchdown and two interceptions. But hes pleased with how Winnipegs offence is shaping up under Bellefeuille, who took over from the fired Gary Crowton on Sunday. "Coach Bellefeuilles been hard on us, but its been good for us," Hall told reporters Thursday. "He pays attention to the details and makes sure we execute the stuff we have in, so I think were ready." Bellefeuille is no stranger to the Ticats, having served as Hamiltons head coach from 2009-11. He says Winnipegs offence has been improving in practice over the week. "Each day weve had less things to correct, each day theyve played faster and understand what were supposed to be doing," he said. "So the question now is how is that going to translate into game day when the speed is a little bit different and the bullets are live." A big reason for Winnipegs dismal start is its anemic offence, which is last in the league in points scored and second-last in net yards with Hall, veteran Buck Pierce and Justin Goltz all having started. That led to the dismissal of Crowton, who came to Winnipeg in 2012 with no previous CFL coaching experience. By contrast, Bellefeuille has extensive experience at the CIS and CFL levels and Hall said his new offensive co-ordinator has helped him break downn an opposing defence.dddddddddddd "Hes just smart, and he makes things make sense," Hall said. "Hes really good at helping me understand the defences and what coverage theyre in, and that kind of dictates where I go with the ball. "So if anything hes really helping me with my reads and helping me understand the defence." Winnipeg is desperate for a win, its only victory coming in week 2 against Montreal. Hamilton can get to .500 and reclaim sole possession of second in the East Division with a win. Hamilton also started poorly but is looking for its third straight win. Two of its three victories this year have come against Winnipeg. Ticats head coach Kent Austin acknowledged this Bombers squad will be a different one with Bellefeuille running the offence. "Weve done our due diligence with respect to Marcel, but Im sure hell have some new wrinkles for us like we will for them," he said. While a .500 record would be respectable, getting to that level is of little significance for Austin. "Theres a psychological benefit to just winning, doesnt matter what your record is at the time," he said. "The most important thing is focusing on the current game and making sure that we play better than the week before. "We dont highlight on things like out record or somebody elses record. We highlight the tangible aspects of this game that things we need to improve on in order to have an opportunity to win." While Hamilton won last weeks game handily, Winnipeg was solid on special teams, particularly on coverage of kick and punt returns. Austin said it something hes tried to address for Saturdays game. "Listen, they do a great job on (special) teams," he said. "Its a real credit for them and we need to meet their level of production." ' ' '
