Blowouts. Narrow margins of victory. Lucky breaks. Overwhelming opponents with superior skills. It all adds up to a pair of remarkable streaks in Miami and Chicago.

NEW YORK, N.Y. - Whatever troubles the Ottawa Senators have on the road never seem to bother them at Madison Square Garden.

PEORIA, Ariz. - Josh Donaldson arrived with his Oakland Athletics teammates for Friday's spring training game against the Seattle Mariners with his equipment bag but not his customary No. 20 jersey. Furnished with a temporary top with No.

TEMPE, Ariz. - Joe Blanton got two innings of work in Friday before the Los Angeles Angels and Arizona Diamondbacks were rained out with the score 1-1 in the bottom of third.

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. - Los Angeles left-hander Ted Lilly would have liked to pitch to defending NL MVP Buster Posey. The weather just would not co-operate Friday.

SURPRISE, Ariz. - The Kansas City Royals don't have that many open spots for a team coming off a 90-loss season. For the second straight March, Johnny Giavotella and Chris Getz are competing for the second base job.

As Derek Jeter dug in against Andy Pettitte, a familiar voice boomed from the top step of the dugout. "Hundred bucks if you drill him!" former teammate David Wells hollered.

PHOENIX - All the humiliation and disbelief of a stunning loss to Italy four years ago was bad enough. It was unfathomable for sa国际传媒 that history would repeat itself at the World Baseball Classic.

TORONTO - Dylan Armstrong says nothing can ever replace a moment lost.

GLENDALE, Ariz. - With rain forecast, the Chicago White Sox had Jake Peavy pitch a simulated game Friday rather than wait around for the exhibition against the San Diego Padres, which was washed out after three innings.
