Releasing Matt Leinart seemed unthinkable when the Arizona Cardinals opened training camp.
But their roster stands at 53 players Saturday after the football jerseys
team announced Leinart's release and the waived/injured statuses of Chris Johnson and Alfonso Smith.
Coach Ken Whisenhunt had said Leinart's status could come down to whether the 2006 first-round draft choice could stomach entering the 2010 season as a backup. Leinart never showed a willingness to accept that role. He questioned Whisenhunt's motives for demoting him and even claimed, defiantly, that he had outplayed the competition.
Poor body language on the sideline during an exhibition game at Tennessee and a broader sense of entitlement to the starting job following Kurt Warner's retirement stand as two likely factors in Leinart's sudden demise.
In the end, Leinart and Whisenhunt weren't a good match. In retrospect, it's easy to see why.
Leinart was a first-round draft choice from USC. Whisenhunt entered the NFL as 12th-round draft choice from Georgia Tech. Leinart was handed the starting job early in his career. Whisenhunt had to scrap his way through a seven-season career with three teams; nothing was handed to him. As Cardinals coach, Whisenhunt sought to establish an us-against-the-world mentality. Leinart represented the world in that equation. He was too cool to be the underdog -- or the backup to Anderson. It just wasn't in his USC DNA.
Leinart could have made this work if he had played by Whisenhunt's rules. He wasn't willing (or possibly able) to do that under difficult circumstances. He complained and pouted and made it impossible for Whisenhunt to name Leinart the leader of a locker room filled with players more closely aligned with the Whisenhunt mindset. Besides, it's not like Leinart had impressed on the practice fields. He hadn't taken control of the team.
At training camp, I had to remind myself to watch Leinart. Nothing about him stood out, good or bad. Leinart said he hoped to get extra reps during preseason games, but Whisenhunt suggested that was unnecessary. Instead, the coach wanted to see what Anderson could do while Packers jersey
running the offense.
Meanwhile, rookie Max Hall, now the No. 2 quarterback behind Anderson, continued to win over the coaching staff with his unassuming approach. The staff saw some Warneresque qualities in the undrafted Hall, a player whose pedigree comes much closer to matching Whisenhunt's than Leinart's (Hall and Whisenhunt both achieved Eagle Scout status, by the way).
This situation wasn't always easy to read, despite those differences.
Earlier this offseason, Whisenhunt downplayed Leinart's 2009 struggles against Green Bay in Week 17, pointing to several mitigating factors. He instead pointed to a more competent showing at Tennessee in making the case that Arizona could succeed with Leinart under center.
In putting together a Cardinals Camp Confidential, however, I revisited a 2008 comment from Whisenhunt as evidence that pro-Leinart sentiments would not assure a starting job for the 2006 first-round draft choice. Warner became the choice to start in 2008 after Whisenhunt said this about Leinart:
"You see it in his body language, you see how he handles himself in the huddle and then you also see it in the confidence when he takes a step and he throws the football, or even when he makes the checks in the run game. There is not the hesitation that there used to be."
That body language had changed, as if Lions jersey
Leinart couldn't believe anyone would question his status as the starter. Leinart had won championships at USC, after all. How dare anyone question him. Whisenhunt questioned him, all right. The manner in which Leinart responded precipitated his release. This divorce could be in the best interests of all parties, at least under the circumstances.

Matsui’s homer key in Angels 4-2 win
SEATTLE (AP)—Hideki Matsui(notes) knew immediately when he turned on Jason Vargas’(notes) belt-high fastball that he didn’t quite get all of it.
So Matsui watched, closely, as he trotted down toward first base, waiting to see if Ichiro Suzuki(notes) was going to climb the fence and rob his countryman.
“It might have been front page,” Matsui said football jersey
about the possible reaction in Japan.
Instead, Suzuki couldn’t quite get his glove on Matsui’s drive, a two-run homer in the seventh inning that propelled the Los Angeles Angels to a 4-2 win over the Mariners on Wednesday night.
Slumping against lefties most of the season—hitting just .203 entering the game—Matsui hit his 18th homer of the season to give the Angels the lead. Matsui now has three career hits off Vargas and all three are homers.
“He’s the type of pitcher that pitches well to both sides of the plate. The pitches I’ve hit against him were basically mistake pitches that really caught the big part of the plate,” Matsui said through an interpreter. “I was just able to put a good swing on those pitches.”
After watching Seattle center fielder Franklin Gutierrez(notes) rob Howie Kendrick(notes) of a homer an inning earlier, the entire Angels dugout watched with a little trepidation as Suzuki climbed the right-field fence.
“You never know. They’ve got an athletic outfield and Ichiro has done it before,” Angels manager Mike Scioscia said. “It was close.”
Matsui’s homer helped make a winner out of Trevor Bell(notes), who picked up his first win of 2010 as a starter. Bell (2-4) threw six innings and gave up nine hits but just two runs against the Mariners punchless offense.
Hard-throwing righty Jordan Walden(notes) took over in the seventh and hit 100 mph several times on the stadium radar gun, giving up just Suzuki’s 50th infield single of the season. Kevin Jepsen(notes) rebounded from his blown save loss a night earlier by striking out a pair in the eighth and Fernando Rodney(notes) pitched the ninth for his eighth save in 11 chances.
Matsui had walked and grounded out in his previous two at-bats against Vargas.
Vargas’ 0-1 fastball was waist high and Matsui didn’t miss. He previously homered off Vargas in July 2009 in New York while still playing for the Yankees and earlier this season in Seattle.
Vargas (9-8) gave up just four hits in seven innings, pitching at least six innings for the ninth time in his last 11 starts. He struck out four and walked two.
“I’m frustrated. I feel like I’m smarter than that. He is Redskins jersey
definitely a guy that can change the game,” Vargas said. “I was trying to throw it in to have him swing at it. That is a spot we have pitched him earlier this year and he hasn’t got to it. In a big situation he did.”
Alberto Callaspo(notes) added a solo homer with two outs in the eighth off reliever Sean White(notes), curling it just inside the right-field foul pole.
Gutierrez drove in the Mariners’ first run with an RBI single in the third. His double-play grounder scored another in the fifth for a 2-1 lead.
But it was his catch in the sixth that grabbed everyone’s attention. With two outs, Kendrick hit a drive about 400 feet. Gutierrez never slowed his stride, sprinting all the way to the warning track and then timing his jump to snag the drive just above the yellow line at the top of the wall. Vargas tipped his cap, while many of the sparse crowd at Safeco Field gave Gutierrez a standing ovation.
Bell became a starter for the Angels in late July, while still mixing in appearances out of the bullpen. Wednesday was his sixth start and backed up the promise the Angels saw in his last start when Bell went seven innings and gave up just two runs in a loss to Baltimore.
Bell struck out six and walked none in his seven innings. More important, he escaped jams with runners in scoring position in four of the first five innings. Seattle left eight on base.
“They definitely had some opportunities and he made some pitches to get out,” Scioscia said. “He showed us a lot out there. He bent a little bit but didn’t break.”
NOTES: The Angels are now 12-4 against Seattle this Titans jersey
season and went 7-2 at Safeco Field. … Gutierrez made another fine running catch at the wall in the ninth inning on Mike Napoli’s(notes) drive. … Seattle has extended its minor league agreements with Double-A West Tenn and Pulaski in the rookie Appalachian League.

rancoeur traded to Rangers for playoff push
ATLANTA (AP)—The first-place Texas Rangers acquired outfielder Jeff Francoeur(notes) for their playoff push Tuesday night, just hours before the deadline for players to be eligible for the postseason roster.
The New York Mets traded Francoeur and cash to Texas for infielder Joaquin Arias(notes), who was designated for assignment last week when Alex Cora(notes) was called up cheap nfl jerseys
by the Rangers.
“I have an opportunity to go with a team that will be in the playoffs,” Francoeur said. “I feel comfortable going out there.”
The strong-armed Francoeur is hitting .237 with 11 homers and 54 RBIs and leads the NL with 11 outfield assists. Arias batted .276 in 50 games for the Rangers, including 22 starts. He had two stints on the disabled list.
Texas had been looking for a right-handed hitter to come off the bench for the final month of the season and its expected postseason appearance.
“He’s another right-handed bat that we can get in the lineup against lefties,” Rangers manager Ron Washington said. “We needed another right-handed bat and he’ll give us that so that we don’t have to keep sending up left-handed bats against the lefties. And he’s a guy we know will drive in runs.”
The deal had to be completed by midnight Tuesday in order for Francoeur to be eligible for the Rangers’ playoff roster. Texas has an 8 1/2 -game lead in the AL West.
“I’m looking forward to it. I played with Frenchy in the WBC. He’s a gamer. He always plays hard. He’ll fit in authentic nfl jerseys
well here,” Rangers third baseman Michael Young(notes) said in Kansas City, where Texas lost 10-9 to the Royals.
In an interesting twist, the deal was completed while Francoeur was in Atlanta (he grew up in the suburbs) facing his original team, the Braves.
He looked like a hometown star during his first couple of seasons with the Braves, making the cover of Sports Illustrated as a rookie and twice driving in more than 100 runs.
But his production tailed off badly in 2008 and he was dealt to the Mets for little-used Ryan Church(notes) midway through last season. Francoeur had a promising half-season in New York, hitting .311 with 10 homers and 41 RBIs after the trade, but he slipped again at the plate this season and his playing time decreased despite his excellent defense in right field.
With the deadline approaching for playoff eligibility and the Mets out of contention, Francoeur was mentioned frequently in trade talk.
“Things happen for the best,” he said. “It’s been a tough couple of weeks for me. It just hasn’t happened for me (with the Mets). People expect different things.”
In addition to trading Francoeur, the Mets announced after a 9-2 loss to the Braves that two players, right-handed pitcher Jenrry Mejia(notes) and outfielder Lucas Duda, have been recalled from Triple-A Buffalo.
Mejia made 30 relief appearances for the nfl throwback jerseys
Mets this season, going 0-2 with a 3.25 ERA. Duda hit .304 with 23 homers and 87 RBIs splitting time between Double-A Binghamton and Buffalo.
Teams can expand their rosters on Wednesday for the final month of the regular season.

“I have an opportunity to go with a team that will be in the playoffs,” Francoeur said. “I feel comfortable going out there.”
The strong-armed Francoeur is hitting .237 with 11 homers and 54 RBIs and leads the NL with 11 outfield assists. Arias batted .276 in 50 games for the Rangers, including 22 starts. He had two stints on the disabled list.
Texas had been looking for a right-handed hitter to come off the bench for the final month of the season and its expected postseason appearance.
“He’s another right-handed bat that we can get in the lineup against lefties,” Rangers manager Ron Washington said. “We needed another right-handed bat and he’ll give us that so that we don’t have to keep sending up left-handed bats against the lefties. And he’s a guy we know will drive in runs.”
The deal had to be completed by midnight Tuesday in order for Francoeur to be eligible for the Rangers’ playoff roster. Texas has an 8 1/2 -game lead in the AL West.
“I’m looking forward to it. I played with Frenchy in the WBC. He’s a gamer. He always plays hard. He’ll fit in authentic nfl jerseys
well here,” Rangers third baseman Michael Young(notes) said in Kansas City, where Texas lost 10-9 to the Royals.
In an interesting twist, the deal was completed while Francoeur was in Atlanta (he grew up in the suburbs) facing his original team, the Braves.
He looked like a hometown star during his first couple of seasons with the Braves, making the cover of Sports Illustrated as a rookie and twice driving in more than 100 runs.
But his production tailed off badly in 2008 and he was dealt to the Mets for little-used Ryan Church(notes) midway through last season. Francoeur had a promising half-season in New York, hitting .311 with 10 homers and 41 RBIs after the trade, but he slipped again at the plate this season and his playing time decreased despite his excellent defense in right field.
With the deadline approaching for playoff eligibility and the Mets out of contention, Francoeur was mentioned frequently in trade talk.
“Things happen for the best,” he said. “It’s been a tough couple of weeks for me. It just hasn’t happened for me (with the Mets). People expect different things.”
In addition to trading Francoeur, the Mets announced after a 9-2 loss to the Braves that two players, right-handed pitcher Jenrry Mejia(notes) and outfielder Lucas Duda, have been recalled from Triple-A Buffalo.
Mejia made 30 relief appearances for the nfl throwback jerseys
Mets this season, going 0-2 with a 3.25 ERA. Duda hit .304 with 23 homers and 87 RBIs splitting time between Double-A Binghamton and Buffalo.
Teams can expand their rosters on Wednesday for the final month of the regular season.
Manny Ramirez not in White Sox starting lineup
Manny Ramirez(notes) was not in the Chicago White Sox's starting lineup Tuesday, but he did make an appearance with his new team. Ramirez was on deck when A.J. Pierzynski(notes) hit a ninth-inning home run that gave the Sox a road 4-3 victory over the Cleveland Indians.
While Pierzynski circled the bases, Ramirez returned to the dugout and didn't hit. Instead, he high-fived teammates to celebrate the homer.
Before the game, White Sox manager Ozzie Guillen told reporters that Ramirez was tired from a cross-country flight to join his football jersey
new team. Ramirez arrived at Cleveland's Progressive Field a day after the White Sox claimed the 12-time All-Star off waivers from the Los Angeles Dodgers.
"He was up at 4:30 in the morning," Guillen told reporters. "That's reason right there not to play him. He's been on the disabled list this year. Why take the risk? … I don't want to use him (tonight), but if we need him, we will use him.
"He told me, 'Whatever you need, whatever you want.'"
Ramirez walked into the ballpark at 3:15 p.m., entering from the Indians players' parking lot, where he used to park during his eight seasons with the Indians. He entered his first meeting with Chicago media wearing trendy white-rimmed sunglasses. His dreadlocked hair was at its usual length, but could be shorter in the next few hours. The White Sox have an appearance policy, and they expect Ramirez to conform to it and get his hair trimmed.
Ramirez sounded irritated when asked about his hair during a pregame press conference.
"That's a stupid question," Ramirez said in Spanish, with White Sox bench coach 2010 nfl jerseys
Joey Cora translating. "I'm here to play baseball and that has nothing to do with playing baseball."
Ramirez is bilingual and seldom addresses the media in Spanish. Why now, in his 18th season?
"I feel more comfortable in my own language,'' Ramirez answered through Cora. "I obviously understand but want to make sure.''
Guillen said he didn't have a problem with Ramirez's look, but that chairman Jerry Reinsdorf might.
Chicago Tribune writer Mike Gonzalez asked Guillen if Ramirez will hustle. Ramirez has long had a reputation for being lackadaisical. His casual stride and style make it look that way.
"You treat Manny right and with respect and don't tell him to do what he doesn't want to do, he'll (hustle),'' Guillen said. "If I see Manny not going about his business the right way then it's my job to talk to him about the way we like.''
Ramirez, who ended a seasonlong boycott of the media Tuesday, also said he feels "like a 25-year-old" physically and that he has "that fire to compete."
"As long as I have that fire to compete, I'm going to keep playing. As soon as that fire leaves, it's time to go," he said.
Ramirez briefly talked about his departure from the Dodgers. "I just feel blessed that I nfl football jerseys
played for them," he said. "I only played 60 games for them this year, but I don't understand why I didn't play more—especially at the end."
After their series in Cleveland, the White Sox travel to Boston for the weekend—where Ramirez was a member of two Red Sox World Series champions before wearing out his welcome.
