PITTSBURGH -- The Milwaukee Brewers have wheels. nfl jerseys china . On the basepaths, and in the standings, too. Ryan Braun hit two hits, drove in a run and collected three of Milwaukees seven stolen bases in a 6-0 romp over the weary Pittsburgh Pirates on Tuesday night. "I think people have always perceived us as a team that relies on the home run," Braun said. "Well, we really dont. Were pretty good at running the bases." Then again, just about everybody is against the Pirates. Pittsburgh entered the night throwing out less than 10 per cent of attempted base stealers on the season, by far the lowest in the majors. The number only got worse as the Brewers went 7 for 7 to post their highest single game steals total since moving to the National League in 1998. "Weve got a lot of guys who can steal bases, and if you rely on the homer, you really get yourself in trouble, so you try to find a way to manufacture runs sometimes, too," Braun said. Not that streaking Yovani Gallardo (16-8) requires much in the way of run support these days. The right-hander gave up two hits over 6 2-3 innings to win his eighth straight decision. Milwaukee moved in front of fading Pittsburgh in the jumbled National League wild-card race and remained 2 1-2 games back of St. Louis for the second wild-card spot. "Yos on a roll that he goes out there and he throws up a lot of zeroes," said Milwaukee manager Ron Roenicke. Carlos Gomez and Jonathan Lucroy had three hits apiece for the Brewers, who trailed the Pirates by nine games during their last visit to PNC Park but are peaking heading into the final two weeks of the season. "We just continued to believe, continued to stay positive," Braun said. "I think with the second wild card, it gives everybody hope." A.J. Burnett (15-8) gave up two runs in six innings but couldnt stop Pittsburghs late season swoon. The Pirates are 4-12 this month. "He really wrestled out there," said Pittsburgh manager Clint Hurdle. "He gave it everything he had." Even if it wasnt enough for Burnett to become the first Pirates pitcher to win 16 games in 20 years. He shook off trouble in the first two innings -- when he needed 51 pitches to get six outs while giving up a run -- to pitch into the sixth for his 25th straight start. Pittsburgh took the field less than 24 hours removed from a long night in Chicago, where the Pirates waited out a rain delay of more than three hours before scratching out a 3-0 victory over the Cubs. The team didnt get into Pittsburgh until 5:40 a.m., and Hurdle let his players arrive later than usual to the ballpark after the on Tuesday. The extra rest didnt help. Gallardo has thrived as the teams No. 1 starter since Zack Greinke was traded to the Los Angeles Angels and had little trouble extending his hot streak against the Pirates. The Brewers escaped a bases-loaded two-out jam in the second when Gallardo got Burnett to ground out to second. Pittsburgh didnt get another base runner until the seventh, and by then Milwaukee had raced to a 4-0 lead. The night followed a similar theme. The Brewers would get on base with a single -- all 13 of their hits were singles -- then move into scoring position by taking off for second at the first opportunity. Eventually, the greed turned into runs. During one sequence in the seventh, Weeks singled with one out then stole second and raced home on a single by Braun. The reigning NL MVP then stole second and came home on a single up the middle by Lucroy to make it 4-0. "I think they were good times to go, and we have the opportunity anytime were on second base, we get that base hit and we got a few of them," Roenicke said. "So it was a good game." Pittsburgh briefly had a chance to get back in it in the bottom of the inning, using a single, an error and a walk to load the bases. Gallardo gave way to reliever Jonathan Henderson, who got pinch-hitter Mike McKenry to pop to shallow right field. Milwaukee tacked on two more runs in the eighth, sparked by a single and stolen base by Gomez. It was the seventh of the night for the Brewers, the most since the club joined the NL and the second most in team history. The team record for stolen bases in a single game is eight set against the Toronto Blue Jays on Aug. 28, 1992. Hurdle had no issue with the liberties the Brewers took on the base paths. "If you dont likeem stealing bases," Hurdle said, "getem out."

This week they discuss Jerry Reinsdorfs continuing interest in an NHL franchise, Mike Modanos final NHL contract, the Academy Award prospects of the New York Giants, and the antics of John Daly. Bruce Arthur, National Post: My thumb is up to Jerry Reinsdorf, for his patience and persistence in circling the Phoenix Coyotes like a particularly picky vulture. The Chicago sports magnate has been attempting to lift the money-bleeding Coyotes for a bargain price since back when Jim Balsillie was a billionaire - RIMs recent share dive took care of that - and with no credible buyers in the picture, hes back. Reinsdorf was never willing to put much of his money into a deal, and one offer he tried to negotiate had everything but the moving trucks lined up outside the door. But at least hes still hanging around, looking hungrily at a distressed asset. So why a thumbs up? In nature, vultures play an important role. And in the NHL these days, people like Jerry Reinsdorf are a necessary part of the food chain. Steve Simmons, Sun Media: My thumb is down to the one-day contract, and not just because Mike Modano signed a one day deal with the Dallas Stars before announcing his retirement. Its the concept I dont care for. If Modano truly wanted to retire a Dallas Star, he should have done so a year ago, when the Stars determined they didnt want him any more. And its not just Modano. This charade of emotions has been going for too long. Jerry Rice and Thurman Thomas did it in the NFL, leaving their long timee teams as free agents only to return as one day signees. cheap jerseys. Nomar Garciaparra did it with the Red Sox in and Alondra Johnson did the same with the Calgary Stampeders. Retiring is difficult under almost any circumstances. But please lets not orchestrate these events to something they are not Michael Farber, Sports Illustrated: My thumb is down to the synchronized fakery of New York Giants defenders Deon Grant and Jacquian Williams. Even the East German judge wouldnt have given them anything better than a 5.5. See, the Giants defense was being picked apart by St. Louis hurry-up offense last Monday so to slow down the Rams not one but two would-be thespians fell to the turf in efforts to get a time out, an acting job so obvious it was worthy of the wooden Keanu Reaves. The NFL has been all huffy in the aftermath, threatening fines and suspensions for future faking. There is, of course, a simpler solution. Because soccer is known as football worldwide, Id give these clowns yellow cards. Dave Hodge, TSN: Thumbs down to John Daly, whos act grew very tired years ago, for storming off the course at the Austrian Open after disagreeing with a ball-drop ruling that cost him two strokes, and that was after he threw a club into the water because of a mis-hit on the same hole. When Daly was heavier and less sober than he appears to be these days, he was golfs novelty act and Joe Public loved him and he could actually play and win. Maybe he can still do that here and there, but its no fun watching him try. Too bad for golf, better for Daly, if its only anger hes dealing with now. ' ' '
