starting third baseman, also had 46 doubles, 76 RBI and stole 22 base

BALTIMORE -- Though improved from last year, the Baltimore Ravens still arent good enough to overcome their own mistakes.And that is why theyre no longer undefeated.The Oakland Raiders, on the other hand, proved Sunday with their 28-27 win over Baltimore (3-1) that playing on the road is no longer an issue. This much is certain: Derek Carr could probably find Michael Crabtree with a pass if they were on a construction site.Carr connected with Crabtree on touchdown passes of 5, 13 and 23 yards. The last one, with 2:12 left, enabled Oakland (3-1) to improve to 3-0 on the road for the first time since 2002.Crabtrees three TDs increased his total with the Raiders to 13 since joining the team prior to last season. He had 14 in the three seasons before that with the 49ers.Crabtree also now has at least four receptions in 16 straight games, all with the Raiders.He said his relationship with Carr is the key.Its no secret. We keep working hard, Crabtree said. We keep working together and we have a great rapport. This is a tremendous situation for me. I feel reborn in Oakland.Coach Jack Del Rio had nothing but praise for his receiver, who he said reminds him off another special wideout.Hes been sensational since Day One, Said Del Rio. I played with a guy named Cris Carter who had exceptional hands. I think Crab has those kind of hands.Some are some other things we learned about the Ravens and Raiders in Week 4:FLAG DAY: The Ravens hurt themselves with 10 penalties for 105 yards. The miscues ranged from five holding calls on the offensive line to taunting by receiver Mike Wallace.I think we had holding on 75 percent of our drives, quarterback Joe Flacco said. Stuff like that is disappointing. It makes it very, very tough to overcome and score points when those kinds of things are happening out there.Coach John Harbaugh said: What we needed to do was put the pressure on (Oakland) more than on ourselves. You keep the pressure on yourself when you have that many penalties.ROAD SHOW: The Raiders long have struggled on the road, but its possible theyve turned the corner after winning at Tennessee and Baltimore in successive weeks.There are some things you have to do as a team, and weve embraced that, in terms of traveling and being able to cross time zones, Del Rio said.That will continue to be critical for the Raiders, who must later this month again travel across the country for consecutive road games at Jacksonville and Tampa Bay, both starting at 10 a.m. PT.The league likes to put us in that (time) window, Del Rio said. It will be important that we continue to take care of business, regardless of where we are.HEAD WEST: In an effort to get the running game going, the Ravens sat out Justin Forsett and let Terrance West prove he can do the job.West didnt disappoint. He gained a career-high 113 yards on 21 carries, a robust average of 5.4 yards per attempt.We were consistent running the ball in the second half, he said. I just took advantage of the opportunity.DUMERVIL RETURNS: Though the Ravens stumbled down the stretch, the return of linebacker Elvis Dumervil should help in the long run.Dumervil missed the first three games with a foot injury. Though he saw limited action and did not get credit for a tackle, Dumervil knows better days lie ahead.I felt rusty, but Im going to keep working and well get it going, he said.The Ravens could use him at his pass-rushing best. Baltimore did not have a sack on Sunday.---AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP-NFL Nike React Element 87 For Sale . PETERSBURG, Fla. Nike Air Footscape Woven Chukka Black .

Nike Sf Air Force 1 High Womens . Blackwood, 28, has played the last three seasons in the San Diego Padres system, including the past two summers with Class AA San Antonio of the Texas League. Nike Shoes Clearance Outlet . Thousands of Southern California fans enveloped the Trojans to celebrate an improbable win secured by an interim coach, an inconsistent kicker and a thin defence that wouldnt break. Big Papi, Kris Bryant and Bryce Harper are just a few of the big-name offensive stars leading their teams into the postseason.Theres Josh Donaldson, Jose Bautista, Troy Tulowitzki and Edwin Encarnacion on Toronto alone. Adrian Beltre, Carlos Beltran, Adrian Gonzalez and Chase Utley are some of the other recognizable names.Often, guys like Craig Counsell, Adam Kennedy, Cody Ross, David Freese and Marco Scutaro emerge as October heroes.Counsell (2001 Diamondbacks), Kennedy (2002 Angels), Ross (2010 Giants), Freese (2011 Cardinals) and Scutaro (2012 Giants) each were MVPs of the league championship series. All of their teams went on to win the World Series. Only Freese and Scutaro ever made it to an All-Star game -- once each.Heres a Pick 6 of lesser-known players who could shine when the bright lights are on this month:TREA TURNER: Only Daniel Murphy had a higher batting average for the Nationals than their rookie centerfielder. Turner hit .342 with 13 homers, 40 RBI and 33 stolen bases after coming up from the minors to stay in July. While Harper, the 2015 NL MVP, slumped and Ryan Zimmerman and Jayson Werth had down years, Turner was a big addition for the NL East champions.YASMANI GRANDAL: He may have been the best bargain on baseballs highest-priced roster. The Dodgers paid Grandal $693,000, or less than 1 percent of their $227 million payroll. The switch-hitting catcher tied Justin Turner for the team lead with 27 homers and had 772 RBI in only 390 at-bats.ddddddddddddBEN ZOBRIST: Its easy to overlook Zobrist on a Cubs team that includes Bryant, Anthony Rizzo and Jason Heyward. But Zobrist was an All-Star second baseman, started 29 games in the outfield and usually hit cleanup behind Bryant and Rizzo in Joe Maddons lineup. He finished with a .272 average, 18 homers, 72 RBI and team-high 96 walks.XANDER BOGAERTS: While eyes are on David Ortiz and his farewell ride, Bogaerts has emerged as a star on a team filled with outstanding players. Bogaerts hit .294 with 21 homers and 89 RBI. He already got a taste of the postseason in 2013 when Boston won the World Series, hitting .296 in 12 games.ROUGNED ODOR: Hes known more for delivering a hard right fist to Bautistas jaw, but Odor led the Rangers with 33 homers. The second baseman hit .271 and drove in 88 runs.JOSE RAMIREZ: He started at three infield spots and left field and led Indians with a .312 batting average. Ramirez, the starting third baseman, also had 46 doubles, 76 RBI and stole 22 bases.BONUS PICK: Blue Jays second baseman Devon Travis is the unsung hero in a lineup filled with sluggers -- six players had at least 20 homers. Travis led the team in hitting (.300) and solidified the leadoff spot down the stretch.---Follow Rob Maaddi on Twitter: https://twitter.com/AP-RobMaaddi Wholesale Jerseys Wholesale Jerseys cheap jerseys Cheap Jersyes Cheap Basketball Jerseys Cheap NHL Jerseys cheap jerseys Cheap Jerseys Cheap Jerseys Cheap Jerseys From China Cheap NFL Jerseys ' ' '
