NEW YORK -- Breanna Stewart is flourishing on the court in her rookie season and putting up incredible numbers. Unfortunately, those havent translated into many victories for Seattle.It could grate on the rookie, who already has doubled the number of losses she had in her entire UConn career, but the No. 1 pick in the WNBA draft hasnt let it.Its part of the game, I know that, Stewart said of the losses. Im not going to throw a fit that were losing. Its frustrating having a winning mentality and not always winning. Coming up short, it gets you.Stewart held a stat sheet in her hand after Wednesdays 78-74 loss to New York. She did what she could to help her team win, putting up 24 points and 16 rebounds. It just wasnt enough.With this league, what Ive learned is that you have to focus on whats next, Stewart said. Things go so quick, you have another game Friday. You cant think about this game much longer. Have to focus on San Antonio and get wins under your belt.Stewart, who couldnt remember the last time she lost double-digit games in a season, said she still texts regularly with UConn coach Geno Auriemma. She lost only five games at UConn in four years.I talk to him a lot, she said. Whether its a couple times a month or a few times a week, it just depends. Hell check in on me and make sure Im doing all right. Obviously giving me advice with the losses, the frustration that comes with that. Reminding me, I cant focus on that.Stewart will reunite with her former coach, who she won four consecutive NCAA titles under, at the end of the month when she plays for the U.S. womens team -- led by Auriemma -- at the Olympics.Im going to my first Olympics, represent the USA. Im excited to wear (the uniform), Stewart said. Playing in the WNBA is the best way to prepare for it. Playing against players who will be your opponents or on your team.Shes already left quite an impression on the league, winning rookie of the month in May and June. She had a career-high 38 points against Atlanta last month. She is averaging 18.7 points and a league-leading 9.8 rebounds. She has shown versatility, playing all five positions on the floor Wednesday night against New York.She plays point, plays wing, plays post, Seattle coach Jenny Boucek said. However you want to classify the positions, she does it all for us.Boucek couldnt think of many other players who have been able to play every position on the floor.Tamika Catchings maybe, she said. Maybe Candace Parker or (Elena) Delle Donne are similar.Sue Bird has been in the league since 2002, playing with and against some of the best the WNBA has had to offer. She is quick to praise the 21-year-old rookie.Whats impressed me is not what she does, but the amount she does, Bird said. People compare her to Lauren (Jackson) a lot because of Seattle or Elena Delle Donne because of the size. Shes a mixture of the two if you can imagine that. Think about that combination.She can do things down low that Lauren could do. Do things outside that Elena can do. She might have a better handle than them and then you add on the fact she can impact the game on the defensive end and her rebounding. I think people question what her ability is to handle the physicality of this league and she answered it. Shes in there banging every night.Stewart hasnt been leaving a mark only on the court. She hasnt been afraid to speak up on off-court issues. When the Orlando nightclub shooting happened, she put the names of all the victims on her shoes and then auctioned them off after wearing them to raise money for them.I dont know how much its going to do but to bring in more attention towards it and show people that we dont want to just forget about this, she said. We cant just let this go because its important.Stewart and Seattle hope the wins will start coming soon. At 6-12, the Storms are sitting outside of the postseason -- a place Stewart hasnt been in a long, long time. She knows its a building process and plans to be part of the Storms success for years to come.---Follow Doug on Twitter at http://www.twitter.com/dougfeinberg Marcus Rashford Jersey .J. -- Marshawn Lynch said Thursday it will be good to get back to football after the Seattle quiet talking running back wrapped up his final mandatory media session of Super Bowl week.

DETROIT -- Tigers general manager Al Avila walked into a thinned out Detroit clubhouse and quietly explained why he decided to stand pat when the 4 p.m. Aug. 1 non-waiver trade deadline passed.The results of that decision will start to play out Tuesday night when Detroit hosts the also relatively quiet Chicago White Sox in the middle segment of a nine-game homestand.James Shields (5-12, 4.68 ERA overall, 3-5, 5.17 ERA with the White Sox) will start for Chicago against Detroits Anibal Sanchez (5-11, 6.56 ERA) in a rematch of a series two weekends back that saw the White Sox stun the Tigers with a pair of walk-off wins July 24 that included a start by Sanchez.Avila had warned folks not to expect anything sexy from Detroit as the trade deadline drew near and was more expansive Sunday after Detroit completed a three-game sweep of Houston.He reiterated the Tigers biggest boost will come when pitchers Jordan Zimmerman (neck) and Daniel Norris (right oblique), along with right fielder J.D. Martinez (elbow), return from the disabled list. All three could be back this week.It was the cost of doing business that kept Detroit off the market.For major help, teams were asking Detroit for Michael Fulmer, Norris and Matt Boyd. Any major move the Tigers could have made, Avila said, would have set us back five years in terms of player development.Avila zeroed in on some of the pitching Tampa Bay offered, but was told up front you dont have enough to offer.There was a lot of noise about Chicago shedding players in favor of a rebuild, but apparently the White Sox have put that off until the winter.Over the weekend, Chicago traded southpaw Zach Duke to St. Louis for minor league outfielder Charlie Tilson, 23, a left-handeed hitter with some speed who immediately was slotted among the top White Sox prospects.dddddddddddd He was batting .282 with four home runs, 34 RBI and 15 stolen bases in the hitter-friendly Pacific Coast League.Lefties Chris Sale and Jose Quintana remain with the club despite almost daily rumors they would be dealt for a flock of prospects.Sale was supposed to pitch against Detroit little more than a week ago but was suspended when he cut up throwback uniforms in a tizzy over comfort and corporate promotions.Detroit took the first two games of that four-game set, but the third game was suspended by rain. When it resumed, Chicago quickly walked off with a win and then came back in the regularly scheduled game to win in walk-off fashion again.Shields was the losing pitcher in the first game of that series, a rain-shortened, seven-inning 2-1 affair in which he gave up a pair of solo home runs to Ian Kinsler and Miguel Cabrera.This will be Shields 11th start for the White Sox, matching the number he made for San Diego. He is 3-3 with a 1.71 ERA over his last six starts.Sanchezs record for 16 starts is 3-10 with a 7.13 ERA. He lost his spot in the rotation with a string of disastrous outings early in the season and pitched relatively well in low-pressure relief outings. He was returned to the rotation, however, when Zimmermann and Norris were sidelined by injury in early July.Norris could have been slotted in favor of Sanchez because his last rehab appearance was last Thursday, but Tigers manager Brad Ausmus apparently wants him pitching against the New York Mets this weekend.
