To capture their first Grey Cup title since 1999, the Hamilton Tiger-Cats will have to corral Calgary Stampeders running back Jon Cornish. Wholesale Air Max UK .Calgary and Hamilton will square off in the CFL title game Sunday at B.C. Place. It will be the Ticats second straight championship appearance after losing last year to Saskatchewan, while the Stampeders return for the first time since dropping the 100th Grey Cup game to Toronto at Rogers Centre in 2012.The two teams finished atop their respective divisions. Calgary posted a league-best 15-3 record, while Hamilton had a 9-9 record to finish tied with Montreal but secured first based upon head-to-head point differential.Cornish was the CFLs top rusher this season with 1,082 yards despite playing just nine regular-season games. The 30-year-old native of New Westminster, B.C., won a third straight rushing title and anchored a Calgary ground game that was the leagues best, averaging over 140 yards per contest.Cornish and Co. will face a Hamilton defence that allowed a league-low 76.8 yards rushing during the regular season. Calgary won the season series 2-0 by a combined 13 points without Cornish, who missed both contests due to injury.On Aug. 16, Hugh Charles ran for 102 yards on 14 carries in Calgarys 30-20 victory over Hamilton at McMaster University. A month earlier, the Stampeders edged the Ticats 10-7 as Justin Medlock had a chance to tie the game with a 29-yard field goal but Luke Tasker had trouble with the snap, preventing Medlock from getting the boot off.Montreal ran for over 200 yards and four TDs in its 50-17 East semifinal win over B.C. but rushed for 73 yards on 18 carries against Hamilton on Sunday.The challenge facing Hamilton, though, is that Cornish is much more than just a premier running back. Edmonton held Cornish to 54 yards rushing on 14 carries Sunday in the West Division final but Cornish burned the Eskimos for 120 yards receiving and a TD on four catches in the Stampeders convincing 43-18 win.But the Stampeders do more than just run the ball well. They led the CFL in scoring (28.4 points per game) and were second in total offensive yards (363.2 per game).More importantly, the Stampeders rarely beat themselves. They committed a league-low 29 turnovers while forcing 43 for a CFL-leading plus-14 differential and were the leagues least penalized squad.Calgarys defence is often overshadowed by its high-powered offence but this unit is very good. The Stampeders were second in fewest points allowed (19.3 per game) while Jamar Wall finished tied for the league lead in interceptions (six) and veteran Keon Raymond had five.And despite missing top pass rusher Charleston Hughes for much of the season, Calgary was tied for fourth with 50 sacks as Shawn Lemon had 13 to stand tied for second overall.Quarterback Bo Levi Mitchell was solid in his first season as the starter, completing over 63 per cent of his passes for 3,389 yards with 22 TDs and just eight interceptions. And on Sunday, Mitchell threw four touchdown passes against Edmonton.Mitchell started both Calgary wins over Hamilton, completing 39-of-62 passes for 472 yards with a TD and interception.But Hamiltons defence will offer matchup challenges as cornerback Delvin Breaux has the ability to play man-up on an offences top receiver. That gives the secondary the ability to potentially double-up on the No. 2 receiving threat.On Sunday, Breaux held Duron Carter, Montreals top receiver this season, to just three catches for 25 yards. So the Ticats were able to secure a 40-24 victory in the East final despite S.J. Green registering six catches for a game-high 128 yards and three TDs for the Alouettes.The Stampeders defence will get its first live look at Hamilton starter Zach Collaros on Sunday. Collaros missed both regular-season meetings recovering from concussion-like symptoms.Like Mitchell, Collaros is in his first season as a CFL starter and Hamilton is a different team with him. The Ticats were 8-5 with Collaros in the lineup, and just 1-4 without him.Not only is Collaros an accurate passer (65.8 per cent completion average with 15 TDs and nine interceptions) but his mobility allows him to escape the rush or head upfield. Theres no doubt who makes the Hamilton offence go. Hamilton also sports a bona fide rushing threat in Nic Grigsby. The former Winnipeg Blue Bomber ran for 93 yards and two TDs on 18 carries Sunday and in the Ticats two wins over Montreal (including 29-15 home victory Nov. 8) Grigsby had 186 yards rushing and three TDs on 37 carries.Calgary must also be very weary of Hamilton kick-returner Brandon Banks. The five-foot-seven, 153-pound Banks was a one-man show Sunday, returning two punts for TDs and having a third called back due to a penalty.Banks had five returns for playoff-record 226 yards and the two touchdowns tied a playoff mark. Against Calgary this year, Banks had 10 punt returns for 116 yards and no TDs. Nike Air Max Sale Online UK . "After consultation with the Team USA medical staff and officials, it was determined that he should return to Winnipeg as a precaution due to his previous injury history," Jets general manager Kevin Cheveldayoff said Wednesday in a statement. Air Max Clearance UK . It was the start of one nice night for the goalie and the Minnesota Wild. Backstrom made 33 saves in his first win of the season and the Wild defeated the Chicago Blackhawks 5-3 on Saturday in a rematch of their first-round playoff series. http://www.wholesaleairmaxukoutlet.com/ . The 22-year-old slugger, who is no stranger to adversity, made up for it at the end. PITTSBURGH -- Russell Martin swatted at Jonathan Broxtons 96 mph fastball and watched as Carlos Gomez gave chase. When the ball cleared the fence just out of Gomezs reach, the Pittsburgh Pirates catcher thumped his chest as he rounded first base after providing the latest lightning bolt in a season full of them for one of baseballs most resilient teams. "Its hard to be happier than that," Martin said. Buried in May, the Pirates are streaking toward October. Martins three-run blast off Broxton with one out in the eighth inning ignited the Pirates to a 4-2 victory over the Milwaukee Brewers on Friday night and gave Pittsburgh a 4 1/2-game lead in the race for the second National League wild card spot with just nine days left in the regular season. Its a spot that seemed impossible in the spring. At one point Pittsburgh trailed Milwaukee by 9 1/2 games. Now the Pirates have all the momentum. Pittsburgh has won a season-high five straight and 12 of its last 14. Mark Melancon worked a perfect ninth for his 31st save. John Holdzkom (1-0) earned the win in relief for his first major league victory. Pittsburgh spent seven innings getting overpowered by Milwaukee starter Yovani Gallardo, who struck out 11 before finally exiting after 112 pitches. Broxton (4-3), acquired on Aug. 31 to bolster a bullpen in anticipation of a playoff push, quickly gave it all away. Starling Marte led off the Pittsburgh eighth with an infield single. Neil Walker singled with one out to set the stage for Martin, who had two ugly check swings before taking a 1-1 pitch and sending it into the second row of seats in right-centre field for his 11th homer of the year and by far his most important. "I was trying to go down-and-away," Broxton said. "I dont know where it was. I dont watch the videos." Probably a good idea after the Brewers -- who led the NL Central for 149 days this year -- watched their playoff hopes take another devastating blow. Rickie Weeks hit his seventh homer of the season off Pirates starter Jeff Locke and Jonathan Lucroy added an RBI-single, but Milwaukee lost its third straight. The Brewers let a 2-0 lead get away late on Thursday night against St. Louis and fell in extra innings. They arrived in Pittsburgh at 4 a.m. on Friday morning hoping to revive their season against a team they have dominated for years, including an 11-5 mark this season. Now they likely need to swweep the final two games of the series to have any reasonable chance of catching Pittsburgh. Air Max UK Sale Outlet. "When you go to late innings, were used to putting games away," Milwaukee manager Ron Roenicke said. "Weve been really good all year in finishing out games, and were not doing it right now." Gallardo did his part. He escaped early trouble and then settled down, retiring nine of the final 10 batters he faced before giving way to Broxton after 112 leave-it-all-out-there pitches. The Pirates stranded six runners in the first four innings against Gallardo with nothing to show for it. Still, they remained upbeat after Gallardo tired. "Were a team that has a pretty good offence. When you have somebody that neutralizes you, its frustrating," Martin said. "But we believe in each other and we believe when we get to the bullpen we can make things happen." Ike Davis added an RBI single later in the inning off Jeremy Jeffress to give Melancon a little extra cushion he wouldnt need. TRAINERS ROOM Brewers: Milwaukee 1B Mark Reynolds was back in the lineup on Friday, going 0 for 3 less than 24 hours after a rare mental mistake opened the door to a late St. Louis rally. "This guy, instinctually, is unbelievable," Roenicke said. "Thats why when you see those things happen, its surprising. And, you know, why couldnt you do it in a game that didnt matter? Or a month ago, when maybe we were winning 6-0 in a game and you make a mistake? Its just when he made it that was so tough." Pirates: RHP Charlie Mortons return from the disabled list may be short-lived. Pittsburgh pulled Morton from his next scheduled start on Sunday after he felt discomfort in his groin and midsection late in his five innings of work in a victory over Boston on Tuesday. The pain intensified during a bullpen session on Thursday. Vance Worley will take Mortons spot in the rotation when the Pirates wrap up the series with Milwaukee. UP NEXT Brewers: Matt Garza (8-8, 3.74 ERA) will make his third start against the Pirates this season. The right-hander is 1-0 with a 6.55 ERA versus Pittsburgh. He is coming off six solid innings in a victory over Cincinnati last Sunday. Pirates: Edinson Volquez (12-7, 3.27 ERA) will search for his fifth straight victory when he faces the Brewers on Saturday. The 30-year-old is 2-1 with a 2.88 ERA in four starts against Milwaukee this season.
