Danica Patrick is a longtime Chicago Cubs fan. In fact, shes even been given first-pitch honors at Wrigley Field twice over the years.Despite her loyal fandom, she was unable to attend any of the first four games of the World Series due to that pesky NASCAR schedule. But that all changed Sunday night when she finally made it to the Windy City for Game 5 with boyfriend and fellow driver Ricky Stenhouse Jr. and NASCAR star Kurt Busch.With Patrick cheering them on, the Cubs staved off elimination with a 3-2 win over the Cleveland Indians.COINCIDENCE? I think not.The shot!A photo posted by Danica Patrick (@danicapatrick) onOct 30, 2016 at 7:30pm PDTCubs fans should probably start some sort of petition to get Patrick and the crew to Cleveland for Tuesdays Game 6.See something entertaining on social media that you think deserves to be shared? Let me know on Twitter, @darcymaine_espn. Custom Wade Boggs Jersey . LOUIS -- Valtteri Filppula assisted on three of Tampa Bays four goals, and the Lightning beat the St. Carl Yastrzemski Jersey Large . The next step is a better finish. Bae played bogey-free Friday on another gorgeous day at Riviera for a 5-under 66, giving him a one-shot lead over Aaron Baddeley and Robert Garrigus going into the weekend. http://www.customredsoxjersey.com/custom-tony-conigliaro-jersey-large-289j.html . Barcelona also left injured defenders Carles Puyol, Javier Mascherano and Jordi Alba out of its squad for the trip to Glasgow. That means that Marc Bartra will probably start again in the centre of the defence alongside Gerard Pique. Authentic Custom Red Sox Jersey . Miikka Kiprusoff had just announced his retirement after a decade-long run in Calgary and it would be up to Berra and Ramo to fill the void. Babe Ruth Jersey Large . The defending champion beat Gael Monfils of France 7-6 (6), 6-3, while second-seeded Andy Murray of Britain dispatched Edouard Roger-Vasselin, also of France, 6-3, 6-3. Making his first appearance since injuring his wrist a month ago, Del Potro had difficulty with his service games in the first set. GAINESVILLE, Fla. -- Florida running back Mark Thompson has a lofty goal this season. Some might even call it overly ambitious.The junior college transfer wants to have 1,000 yards rushing through seven games. Thats fairly high-reaching, especially for someone who isnt the starter, has never played a down in the Southeastern Conference and has plenty of competition for carries.But the 6-foot-2, 242-pound bruising back from Pennsylvania expects to become the teams workhorse before the Sept. 3 season opener against UMass and doesnt plan on relinquishing the role.Its realistic, definitely, for sure, Thompson said. If Im doing the right things, coming to practice, working, coming to the games working harder, then, yeah, its realistic.Jordan Cronkrite and Jordan Scarlett might have something to say about that.Cronkrite and Scarlett backed up Kelvin Taylor as freshmen last season, although neither did much off the bench. Cronkrite ran for 157 yards and three touchdowns; Scarlett had 181 on the ground and a score. Scarlett got most of his yardage in a lopsided victory against rival Georgia.Were in the SEC. Not just one running back can take all that load, so whenever one of us gets tired or injured, we have the next man up who can do the same thing or even better, Scarlett said. I think the downside is theres only one ball, so yeah, four people cant get to one ball. Hey, its the best man wins.Thompson has been counting on being Floridas guy since coach Jim McElwain started recruiting him at Dodge City (Kansas) Community College last year. Thompson ran for 1,298 yards and 18 touchdowns as a sophomore, catching McElwains eye as much because of his stature as his stats.McElwain said all the right things -- including some deep things about being a man, Thompson said -- and he chose the Gators over Arizona State, Iowa, Iowa State, Louisville and Alabama.Floriida was the right fit for me because I know Coach McElwain likes bigger running backs, Thompson said.dddddddddddd At the same time, I know Florida had Kelvin Taylor as the main ball carrier. I found out there was a chance he would go to the NFL and I wanted to fill his shoes or fill his spot at least.Taylor ran 259 times for 1,035 yards and 13 touchdowns in 2015. It took him 14 games to top 1,000 yards. Thompson wants to do it in half the time, all before the teams bye week.If Im doing the right things, I wouldnt be surprised if I did, he said.For Thompson to stay on the field, he will need better ball security than what he showed in the spring. He fumbled way too often in practice and even put the ball on the ground in the Orange and Blue game.He immediately started doing extra drills to work on keeping it high and tight to my chin, including carrying a ball to and from campus every day.Everywhere, he said. Even when Im at home playing Xbox. One hand on the controller and one hand on the ball.Thompson hasnt fumbled in practice this fall and hopes to keep his streak intact before and during the season. Doing that surely will improve his chances of getting 1,000 yards in seven games.Being on the defensive side of the ball, you dont want to tackle that guy every play, cornerback Jalen Tabor said. Like Marshawn Lynch, when you keep hitting someone over and over and over, you get tired of it. Hes 6-2, 240, can move, and when he hits you, its different. I mean, hes got 40 pounds on me and hes coming full speed. Hes bigger than our `backers.If he just runs the ball the way hes capable of running it, the skys the limit. Its going to take two, three people to tackle him.---AP college football website: www.collegefootball.ap.org ' ' '
