Handful of starters hurt

Notes: More scrapes and bumps Handful of starters hurtBy GREG A. BEDARDgbedard@journalsentinel.comPosted: Aug. Defense: No. One game after linebacker A.J. Right guard Josh Sitton and both safeties â€” Nick Collins and Atari Bigby â€” were injured in the first half and did not return to the game. Receiver James Jones banged his right knee in the second half and also did not return, but that was at the same time the starters were removed from the game. Sitton, the fourth-round draft pick, limped off the field near the end of the first quarter with a left knee injury. He took ice and remained on the sideline for the first half. Sitton wore a sleeve on his knee watching the game in the second half. I just got tangled up in there,â€ Sitton said. â€œIt doesnâ€™t feel too bad. Sitton said after the game that he did not know the extent of his injury and the team wanted to do more tests on his knee today.

The fish came fast & furious

Angling is an amazing activity — it enables you to ignore pain, be blind to the beauty around you and forget that you’re an adult. Although I was enthusiastic about this trip, there was a little anxiety mixed in as well. You see, I had an exceptionally good haul when I fished here with another group recently, and word got around. Before I knew it, I was standing on deck again with three of my friends who were on their maiden sortie to Kertih, Terengganu. While Stephen Lim and Kelvin Chong were probably too polite to express their expectations, my outspoken friend Kenneth Chen sent me a text message the night before, detailing how excited he was and how much he was looking forward to catching lots and lots of BIG fish! No prizes for guessing how well I slept that night. A magnificent mackerel caught by Kenneth Chen. Lock and load Initially, it appeared that we would have a smooth journey on calm waters.

Former GM Ryan still has eye on the system

Former Minnesota Twins general manager Terry Ryan, now a special advisor to current GM Bill Smith, has built such a legacy of success that any struggling club would love to get his name on the dotted line. But additional fame and fortune are not at the top of Ryan's list. Family and professional satisfaction rank higher and Ryan isn't anxious to alter that path.

"I've certainly had my opportunity to see the Minnesota Twins and everywhere down the lineup in our affiliates. The one thing I don't miss is some of the brush fires."
