Central Coast coach Paul Okon has hinted at inserting livewire midfielder Trent Buhagiar into his run-on side following Saturdays inept 2-0 loss to Wellington in the A-League.A flat Mariners outfit struggled to get into their adopted home game in Canberra, firing just two shots on target in a performance Okon labelled their worst of the opening six rounds.It was probably the worst performance so far this season, certainly that first half, Okon said.If its one from six, you cop it on the chin and you move forward and you try to make sure it doesnt happen. But tonight wasnt the level we expect and it needs to be better next week.While there is still plenty of time in the season for the Mariners to build momentum, Okon hinted at finding more than a 20-minute cameo for speed demon Buhagiar.A replacement for veteran Fabio Ferreira at the 72nd minute mark, the 18-year-old had a handful of decent touches as Central Coast threw caution to the wind late in the game.I thought Trent when he came on looked very exciting, Okon said.Its a good thing to have two players of that ability and certainly Trents speed is a real weapon. Moving forward, theres real competition in that position.His insertion could be the catalyst that Okon searches for to jumpstart a team that looked slow and lethargic against a depleted Phoenix team.Their next match is the local derby against Newcastle.When we did move the ball, when we executed what we work on and what we speak about before the game, I thought we looked dangerous, he said.It wasnt that often in the first half. A couple of times in the second half we had maybe one or two chances to sneak a goal, and that probably wouldve given us a different type of ending to the game, the last ten minutes. But it wasnt to be. Vapormax Schwarz Sale . However, he did make them miss him a little less. Cundiff, who had the unenviable job of replacing Dawson last season, agreed Thursday to a one-year, $1.

Air Max 97 Kaufen Schweiz .Y. -- Bills receiver Stevie Johnson has a bone to pick with the NFL schedule maker. Air Max 200 Damen . -- PGA TOUR Canada member Steve Saunders took a three-stroke lead Saturday in the Web. CLEVELAND -- Jason Kipnis was raised on Chicagos North Side, and like so many other kids, he grew up idolizing Ryne Sandberg, watching Sammy Sosa smash home runs and listening to Harry Caray.He bled Cubs blue.And he never once blamed Steve Bartman -- they went to the same high school, by the way.We have a joke, the Indians second baseman said, referring to the infamous fan vilified in Chicago for a failed attempt to catch a postseason foul ball. The only thing Im mad at Bartman for is missing an easy flyball.Kipnis wishes those Chicago fans who havent been able to let go would finally forgive Bartman and turn an ugly moment into something special.I would love to see him throw out a first pitch, he said. Everyone would go nuts.Kipnis was in high school when Bartman, innocently sitting in a front-row seat down the left-field field lane, became an unintentional celebrity in Game 6 of the National League Championship Series in 2003. The slight man, wearing a Cubs cap and headphones so he could listen to the game on the radio, reached out and tried to catch a foul ball in the eighth inning as Cubs outfielder Moises Alou tried to close in.The Cubs were derailed during the Bartman Game, blowing a big lead and losing, and then dropping Game 7 to the eventual world champion Marlins.Kipnis lived close to Bartman and very vividly remembers seeing police staked out around his house to prevent any zealous fans from getting at him. There are Cubs fans to this day who hold a grudge toward Bartman. He has remained in hiding.He didnt deserve that, Kipnis said. He never asked for all the stuff that probably happened to him afterward. I dont think he deserved any of that. He was probably actually a pretty loyal fan and he wanted a ball, and its just the way events turns that turned him into this scapegoat.The likelihood that he would return to throw out a first ball or anything like that is probably slim, none and no chance, Frank Murtha, a longtime friend and spokesman for Bartman, told CNN Saturday.Kipnis now finds himself in a unique situation in his first World Series, facing the team that helped shape his life. The Cubs are in his DNA. Theyre the team he learned to love, the one that taught him the game and the one that often broke his heart. But while Kipnis family and friends intend to remain true to their Cuubbies over the next week, his loyalties are not divided.ddddddddddddheres zero conflict at all, he said Tuesday on the eve of Game 1. Lets be clear about that.Kipnis, though, said watching the Cubs wrap up their first NL pennant since 1945 on TV was emotional. Some of his friends were at Wrigley Field on Saturday night, and when the last out was recorded, part of Kipnis was there, too.I didnt know how to handle it, he said. I didnt know if I was happy, mad, sad. I was emotional. I was choked up, I was like, Oh, no, what does this mean right now? But its nothing more than excitement for the games.He was 11 in that magical summer of 1998 when Sosa and Mark McGwire seemed to belt a home run in every at-bat. Baseball was bulked up and booming and Kipnis was under its spell.As he reminisced during an interview session, the two-time All-Star seemed to remember every swing.Thats when I was really watching baseball closely and turning into a baseball fan, said Kipnis, who is dealing with a sprained left ankle suffered in Clevelands ALCS celebration. In the 98 season, it was Hey, Sammys up, get to a TV every time. And on WGN there were always recaps of the games. Thats pretty much what I grew up on.Despite his Second City roots, Kipnis knows hell be treated like a complete stranger -- and sworn enemy -- when the Series shifts to Wrigley for Game 3. Hes taking solace that there will be a few welcomed faces in the crowd.But the Friendly Confines wont be very friendly.He wouldnt have it any other way.If theyre Cubs fans, theyll boo as they should if youre a baseball fan, he said. But Ill have enough there that youll hopefully hear a couple cheers.Kipnis knows what a championship would mean to fans for both teams, who have gone a combined 174 seasons without celebrating a World Series title.They have the only drought that could make our drought look small, he said. Theyve got us by 40 years. Both franchises have been yearning for this championship, but its pretty neat one of them will come to an end.And Kipnis isnt torn over which one he hopes continues.Theres not one part of me that doesnt wish this curse would keep going, he said.The Associated Press contributed to this report.?
