ST. Adidas Nmd Levne Cz . LOUIS - Even with an ever-shifting roster, the St. Louis Cardinals have a chance to reach the NL Championship Series for the fourth straight year.When we show up at spring training every year we set our goal to win the World Series, ace Adam Wainwright said Wednesday. Anything else is silly. What else are you playing for if thats not the goal.The Cardinals repeated as NL Central champions and made it to the post-season for the 11th time in 15 years by overcoming a sputtering offence and injuries to Yadier Molina, Michael Wacha and Jaime Garcia. The profile is one of resiliency heading into an NL Division Series against the Dodgers that starts Friday at Los Angeles, which will start two-time NL Cy Young Award winner Clayton Kershaw.Im pitching against the Dodgers. All this me vs. Kershaw stuff is blown way out of proportion, Wainwright said. I understand its good TV.Molina missed two months with a torn ligament in his right thumb, Wacha missed two months with a shoulder injury. Garcia lasted just 12 starts before surgery to relieve nerve compression.Molinas injury had the potential to be devastating but A.J. Pierzynski and Tony Cruz filled the void, and the Cardinals moved into the division lead for good two days after Molina returned in late August.I thought our guys did a nice job considering all of baseball said we couldnt win a game without him, manager Mike Matheny said. Thats a knock on the rest of the guys. They realize that this stuff happens and youve just got to figure out a way to keep going.Four straight postseasons is a franchise best for the 90-win Cardinals, who won the 2011 World Series in Tony La Russas final season.Though the team expects to be a contender, Mike Matheny said theres no arrogance in the clubhouse.The conversations we had as we were popping champagne was, Dont take this for granted because theres some guys who had incredible careers who have never done it one time, the manager said. This will be the last time for somebody in here. Thats just kind of the facts. The game will humble you if you start taking the perspective that this is just going to happen all the time.This time last fall, Pat Neshek was looking for work, Jhonny Peralta was rebuilding his reputation with the Tigers, Randal Grichuk was a future throw-in in a deal that sent former October hero David Freese packing and John Lackey was about to augment his reputation as a big-game pitcher by beating the Cardinals twice in the World Series.All four figure to play key roles against the high-spending Dodgers.We battled through the ups and downs and we got there, first baseman Matt Adams said. I think what helps us is knowing the core group of guys on this team have been in the playoffs basically every year.Peralta hit a team-high 21 homers and has been smooth at shortstop. Grichuk batted .320 the final month with two homers and four RBIs, playing his way into a platoon with top prospect Oscar Taveras. Grichuk likely will start the opener.I really just try to go up there and play with confidence, Grichuk said. I looked terrible when I first was up here. I decided, Hey, Ive got to play my game.The 35-year-old Lackey went deep his last two starts and will start Game 3 Monday in St. Louis.Neshek, 34, signed a minor league deal in February and the side-armer morphed into a first-time All-Star. Nesheks ERA was under 1.00 until late August, and he had six saves on days off for closer Trevor Rosenthal. Adidas Boty Pánské Nmd . Gustafsson controlled the first round after getting top position on a throw, and came out much more forcefully in the second, buckling Manuwa with a Muay Thai knee, and finishing him off with strikes on the ground. Adidas Nmd Dámské .C. -- The Carolina Panthers announced Thursday theyve signed free agent wide receiver Jerricho Cotchery to a two-year contract, helping rebuild a depleted wide receiving corps. http://www.botynmdlevne.com/ . LOUIS -- The Atlanta Braves used a two-run rally in the ninth to end their road trip with a win.SANTA CLARA, Calif. - San Francisco linebacker Dan Skuta looked good playing table tennis Friday despite a bone bruise in his left ankle.However, he was limited in practice and is questionable for the game with the New York Giants on Sunday.Sunday is realistic, the sixth-year veteran said. I went pretty hard today. Ill have to see how it feels tomorrow.Skuta is one of several linebackers who have missed time for the 49ers this season, a list that includes all-Pro Patrick Willis, NaVarro Bowman and Aldon Smith.Smith returns against the Giants from his nine-game suspension for violations of the NFLs substance-abuse and personal-conduct policies.Hes looked good all week, 49ers coach Jim Harbaugh said. Hes had a bounce in his step and looks like hes enjoying it. As youre thrown back into action, the biggest thing is that the instincts get honed, the reflexes are honed.Willis learned he needed surgery on his toe and will miss the rest of the season. Bowman has yet to play because of a knee injury and must practice by Tuesday to be eligible this year.Harbaugh deflected questions regarding the results of Bowmans MRI and what it may mean for his future.Skuta missed the first football game of his career and called it the most frustraating thing in his life. Adidas Nmd Pánská. I dont know what to do pacing the sideline, he said. Its still day to day, but its getting better. Its been 12 days and I was told the timetable for something like this was two or three weeks.Skuta said he was harder on his ankle than if he participated in the full practice. He went through hard cutting drills and is anxious to see how it reacts Saturday.He considers playing table tennis part of the healing process.Its good rehab because Im taking little hops to get going like I would just before a play, Skuta said.Rookie linebacker Chris Borland, who has been a pleasant surprise filling in for Willis, was limited for Wednesdays practice because of a shoulder problem. He was careful in the full practice the next two days.A very talented player. Means a lot to him. Gives great effort, Harbaugh said. Very smart and executes all his assignments, as he did in college.NOTES: S Jimmie Ward (foot) and DT Ian Williams (fibula) are out while Skuta, CB Tramaine Brock (hamstring) and WR Bruce Ellington (ankle) are questionable. . In addition to Borland, RB Frank Gore (hip), DE Ray McDonald (knee), S Eric Reid (ankle) and DE Justin Smith (non-injury related) are all listed as probable. ' ' '
