(NHL. Vans Old Skool Clearance Sale .com)Here are some of the best moments from the letter,“Immediately after getting picked—youre going second, by the way—forget the handshakes and interviews and convince your new team, the Devils, to trade up before Quebec chooses a smallish guy named Joe Sakic. Youll thank me later.““In a few months, on the night before your first game in our hometown, Toronto, dont meet all your friends at the high school dance. You are a damn professional athlete! Actually, nah, nevermind. Thats awesome, and will provide endless entertainment for your teammates when youre stupid enough to tell them where you were.““Soon, your teammates will “initiate” you. They will warn you, and when they do, hide all the heat rub in the dressing room. Should you fail to hide it all, do NOT run to the shower. Water makes it hotter.““Call home more often even if it means paying $3 a minute in quarters at a pay phone. This is one of the last times in your life when you wont be inundated with LOLs, :)s, LMAOs and TTYLs. Its ok that you have no idea what any of those acronyms mean. When youre 45, you still wont understand them all.““Near the end of your career, you will fight a tough guy named Donald Brashear, after he takes some liberties with your captain. You will finish third in the fight, but do it anyway. Many establishments still give you free beer for this.““You will be suspended several times. Dont say anything too stupid about the poor League Disciplinarian afterwards. Youll see why one day.““- Brendan Shanahan / The Players TribuneTo see the entire letter by Brendan Shanahan, you can read that here.(Quotes courtesy The Players Tribune) Vans Slip On Clearance . Edwin Encarnacion carried the torch for two days at Fenway Park this week; Melky Cabrera and Jose Bautista have had their moments; lately Anthony Gose has contributed. Vans Old Skool Discount .K. Subban has picked the right time of the year to go on an offensive tear. MIAMI — Eager to give himself some run support, New York Mets pitcher Jonathon Niese stepped to the plate with a runner at third and dropped down a perfect suicide squeeze bunt. His teammates, meanwhile, swung away — and connected. Daniel Murphy hit a three-run homer and the Mets matched a season high with 17 hits Sunday to beat the slumping Miami Marlins 11-5. Niese (4-4), who has been plagued by a lack of offensive help this year, won for the first time since May 22 and enjoyed pitching with a big lead. „It was a good feeling,“ he said. „We hit them hard and hit them early. Its a lot more comfortable going out there, and youre able to pound the zone.“ Niese allowed less than four earned runs for the 19th consecutive start, giving up three in six innings. „The offence really busted out, and Jonathon did another great job,“ teammate David Wright said. „Every time he takes the ball, you think hes going to go nine innings, and offensively we havent done a lot to pick him up. Im glad we were able to do that today.“ Niese — batting eighth — drove in a run with a bunt in the second inning. Manager Terry Collins joked that he hadnt called for a suicide squeeze since 2006, and Niese said it might have been the first of his career. „Luckily was able to get a pitch I could put down,“ Niese said. Kirk Nieuwenhuis scored without a play for a 2-0 lead. „The squeeze was huge,“ Collins said. „We dont do that much, but I wanted to see if we could get something started, so we tried something different.“ The bulk of the offence, however, came from higher in the order. Wright drove in a run for the sixth game in a row. Curtis Granderson thrived again in the leadoff spot, reaching base four consecutive times. He and Lucas Duda each had three hits. Murphy had two hits, including his sixth homer. Nieuwenhuis, making his first start since being recalled from Triple-A, doubled twice. „Weve been waiting a long time to break one open,“ Collins said. „People think we play ugly game. Were getting beat 4-3 and 3-2. Were hanging in there. Wee get a lot of guys on, we just havent been able to get big hits. Vans Shoes Sale. When you have big hits, you look great.“ Rookie Anthony DeSclafani (1-2), making his fourth major league start, gave up seven runs in 3 2-3 innings and departed with a 7.59 ERA. He was unable to keep the ball down or throw breaking pitches for strikes. „I fell behind hitters, and the fastballs were flying up in the zone,“ he said. „When that happens, youre not going to get the results you want.“ The Marlins (37-38) fell below .500 for the first time since April 30. Ten days ago they had the best home record in the majors, but they went 3-7 on their longest homestand of the year, losing all three series. „You just have to keeping grinding and stay positive,“ Garrett Jones said. „Its a long season. Every team runs into this type of thing where the offence isnt clicking and the pitching isnt clicking.“ The Mets had scored a total of 13 runs in Nieses previous five starts, but he led 7-0 before giving up three runs in the sixth. The left-hander then struck out Derek Dietrich with the bases loaded to end the inning and his afternoon. Nieses performance was part of a trend. Mets starters have an ERA of 1.74 over the past six games. The Mets have won four of their past five, but they still trail NL East leader Washington by five games. „If we keep the starting pitching going and keep the offence going, I think we should climb back in this thing,“ Niese said. NOTES: Marlins SS Adeiny Hechavarria (elbow) sat out his second game in a row but was feeling better available to pinch-hit. … Marlins Spanish-language radio announcer Felo Ramirez celebrated his 91st birthday. … The Mets improved to 16-11 in day games. … The game drew a crowd of 24,613, plus 605 dogs on „Bark in the Park“ day. … The Mets begin a two-game homestand Tuesday when RHP Bartolo Colon (7-5, 3.88) pitches against Oakland. … The Marlins begin a four-game series at Philadelphia on Monday when RHP Nathan Eovaldi (4-3, 3.76) pitches against RHP Roberto Hernandez (3-5, 4.52). ‚ ‚ ‚
