What to watch for during todays break before Game 3 of the World Series:---SCHWARBERS STATUSKyle Schwarber has already made an impact in this series after returning from a severe knee injury that cost him almost the entire season. He drove in two runs in Game 2 and has looked so comfortable at the plate that his status for Games 3-5 in Chicago is sure to be a significant topic during Thursdays day off. The Cubs cant use him as a designated hitter at home, so its a question of whether he can play the field.Schwarber was in left field for his only two games of the regular season in early April, and manager Joe Maddon said its possible he could take some flyballs during Thursdays workout at Wrigley Field.The Indians have a similar issue. Theyll have to be creative if they want to keep Carlos Santana and Mike Napoli in the lineup without the DH when the Series resumes Friday night.THE COUNTDOWNWhile Cleveland fans were fired up to host the first two games of this series -- especially with Game 1 on the same night the Cavaliers raised their championship banner -- the moment when the Cubs take their positions for the first World Series game at Wrigley Field since 1945 will be something special. Even the off-day workout, when they take the field with Series patches on their hats, may seem like another landmark moment.RESTEDThe Indians had to throw 196 pitches in Game 2, but the stars of their bullpen -- Andrew Miller and Cody Allen -- got the night off. With another day off before Game 3, theres no reason manager Terry Francona cant work his top relievers hard again if Cleveland reaches the middle innings with a lead.STARTERSKyle Hendricks returns to the mound for the Cubs in Game 3, pitching for the first time since leading Chicago to a pennant-winning victory in Game 6 of the NL Championship Series at Wrigley. Its been a much longer layoff for Cleveland starter Josh Tomlin, who pitched well in Game 2 of the ALCS against Toronto on Oct. 15 and hasnt made an appearance since. Cheap Swingman Rockets Jerseys . The winner Saturday will remain in the elite 10-team field next year. "We talked about wanting to be disciplined and stick with our game plan and good things will come," Draisaitl said, who had two goals for the victors. Cheap Rockets Jerseys China .

From Pierre LeBrun While Anaheim GM Bob Murray said earlier this season he was not going to trade Jonas Hiller despite the fact hes an unrestricted free agent on July 1, some sources have told TSN Hockey Insider Pierre LeBrun that Murray might be willing to move another goalie. http://www.cheaprocketsjerseys.com/ . There are some early surprises in the race for the Hart Trophy, but two of the contenders are the leagues biggest stars over the past decade. There are many more players in contention for the awards than just the three that Ive named, and a good or bad week can easily alter the landscape, but through the first 20 or so games of the NHL season, this is how the awards races look to me. DeAnthony Melton Jersey . John Lucas, signed as a mentor for rookie Trey Burke, showed he can score if required, scoring 12 points of his 16 points in the second quarter as Utah built an 18-point lead. Vincent Edwards Jersey . The deal is pending a physical, assistant general manager Bobby Evans said. Traded from Seattle to Baltimore on Aug. 30, Morse also can play first base and right field to give manager Bruce Bochy some flexibility in writing his lineup. SPOKANE, Wash. -- Washington State crushed Oregon last weekend to get a promising season back on track. Now the Cougars face a bigger challenge when they travel to No. 15 Stanford on Saturday.Stanford (3-1, 1-1 Pac-12) is coming off a 44-6 loss at No. 5 Washington, and likely itching for redemption.Stanford is one of those teams that has a lot of ability and has had a lot of success, Washington State coach Mike Leach said. I think that (Washington) game is kind of an aberration. They got on their heels and couldnt dig themselves back out.Washington State (2-2, 1-0 Pac-12) opened the season by losing to FCS Eastern Washington and No. 19 Boise State. But the Cougars scored more than 50 points each game in beating Idaho and Oregon.We just have to stay focused and keep competing with ourselves and get better every day, Leach said. We have no time to get complacent on anything.The key to a win in Palo Alto this weekend is no secret, Leach said.One thing thats key with Stanford is to be physically strong enough to address the problems their offensive line gives you, Leach said. Theyre very strong and physical.Running back Christian McCaffrey is Stanfords main offensive threat, averaging 121 rushing yards.But the Cougars largely contained him last season, giving up 107 rushing yards on McCaffreys 22 carries in their 30-28 loss in Pullman.Weve got to do a better job this year, Leach said. We should have won last year and its our own fault.WSU is hoping to snap an eight-game losing streak against Stanford that dates to 2008.One big issue is WSUs kicking game. Junior Erik Powell has missed all four of his field goal attempts this year. Last seasoon, he missed a 46-yarder in the closing seconds against Stanford that would have won the game.ddddddddddddPowells field goal slump has altered strategy, Leach said.Im more inclined to go for it more on fourth down, which I kind of was anyway, Leach said.Powell has made all his extra points, and kicked off well, but the competition at kicker is open, Leach said.He hits the ball best, Leach said of Powell. But, weve got to be consistent at it to expect to be successful.Leach has been spending more time in recent weeks with his offensive linemen, a big key to the success of the Air Raid offense. Hes given up some of the time he spends with quarterbacks and wide receivers during one-on-one drills to coach up the linemen and running backs.Ive noticed a difference in the pace of practice, especially for the offensive line, said left tackle Andre Dillard. Leach has been getting on us a lot more about getting off the ball, driving our feet every play and reaching our second level blocks.The extra coaching paid off in last weekends 51-33 win over Oregon. The Cougars rushed for 280 yards and six touchdowns and the running backs averaged 7.8 yards per carry.Meanwhile, Stanford is dealing with injuries as it prepares for Saturdays game.Cornerbacks Alijah Holder and Quentin Meeks both missed the game against Washington due to injury, and Stanford coach David Shaw said Tuesday that both players are still most likely out when the Cardinal plays Washington State. That could create a big advantage for the pass-happy Cougars. ' ' '
