.Nothing could dampen the Cardinals mood after perhaps

CHASKA, Minn. -- With stakes at the Ryder Cup so high, the players are under plenty of pressure. Danny Willetts focus faltered a bit Wednesday during practice at Hazeltine National Golf Club.This wasnt a case of rookie nerves, though.This was because, well, his brother has a big mouth.Willett was a couple of holes into his round when informed about the online buzz created by the colorful, humorous and crude essay written by his columnist brother , Pete Willett, on the National Club Golfer website that poked fun at the American players and castigated the culture from which their fans have come.It is tough to then concentrate, Danny Willett said, because you dont want people to think badly of yourself.The 28-year-old reigning Masters champion tried his best to move on, as difficult as it was, and apologized for the message that came across from his sibling. Willett praised the American fans who took me under their wing fantastically at Augusta National Golf Club in April.It was tough then to kind of get your head around everything, Willett said in an interview with Golf Channel. You kind of wanted to get off the golf course and hopefully get it sorted, you know, like I said to Pete today, as quick as possible and, like I said, hopefully draw a line under it and get back to what were doing.Europe captain Darren Clarke tried to distance the team from the scathing critique, which couldve been perceived as partially tongue in cheek until Pete Willett posted on Twitter that he meant every word of what he wrote.I showed it to Danny, and hes bitterly disappointed in his brothers article, Clarke said. It is not what Danny thinks. It is not what I think. It is not what Team Europe stands for.Pete Willett wrote that he hopes Team Europe will silence the pudgy, basement-dwelling irritants, stuffed on cookie dough and pissy beer, pausing between mouthfuls of hotdog so they can scream `Baba booey until their jelly faces turn red. He also urged the Europeans to smash the obnoxious dads, with their shiny teeth, Lego man hair, medicated ex-wives, and resentful children.Danny Willett sought out American captain Davis Love III to express his regret.He took it very well and I think hes drawn a line under it obviously for himself and for the team, Willett said. So hopefully everyone else can do the same and hopefully we can get on and have a great tournament.Love said he took the advice of notoriously insular New England Patriots coach Bill Belichick and ignored the noise about the essay.If I read it, Im just going to get mad. If I read it, Im just going to get defensive, Love said. So I just try to ignore it.The crowd this weekend will of course be fiercely partisan for the Americans, who have lost three Ryder Cups in a row and eight of the last 10 events.If we play well here, and get the fans behind us, then weve got an advantage, Love said. But we have to go do it. New Balance Schuhe Sale . Tuesdays surgery at Atlantas Piedmont Hospital was performed by Dr. Xavier Duralde and Hawks team physician Dr. Michael Bernot.

CINCINNATI, Ohio -- Dusty Baker doesnt like the suicide squeeze bunt -- too many things can go wrong. The way things are going for the Cincinnati Reds these days, he neednt worry. The Reds used another big inning -- one featuring a perfectly executed squeeze -- to beat the Chicago Cubs 5-2 on Sunday for their fifth win in a row. Todd Frazier drove in a pair of runs with a sacrifice fly and a single, and Derrick Robinson pulled off the bunt that put the Reds ahead to stay. "Just an outstanding inning," Baker said. Just one inning to an outstanding start. The Reds have won 13 of their last 16 games, surging to 31-18. Its their best start since 1995, when they reached the NL championship series and got swept by Atlanta. "This team has some big boys, veterans out on the field, and their pitching is some of the best in baseball," Cubs manager Dale Sveum said. "Its tough to score on them. Were in all the games, but you cant add on or score on their bullpen." Cincinnati scored four times in the sixth off left-hander Travis Wood (4-3), extending its domination of the NL Centrals last-place team. Chicago has lost a season-high six straight games. Homer Bailey (3-3) gave up a pair of runs in six innings to a lineup that rarely has a big inning. Aroldis Chapman had a perfect ninth for his 12th save in 14 chances, hitting 100 mph with one pitch that sailed to the backstop. The Reds won the first two games of the series in front of sell-out crowds. Theyve dominated the Cubs lately, winning 16 of their last 18 games in the series. The Reds are 19-5 against the Cubs over the last two seasons, including 7-1 this year. Cincinnati won the series opener 7-4 on Friday with a five-run fourth inning that featured Ryan Hanigans three-run homer. The catcher doubled home a run during Cincinnatis four-run sixth inning on Saturday. The Reds didnt need any homers to pull away. Instead, they sent nine batters to the plate to stop Woods impressive streak. The left-hander had nine quality starts to open the season, the best such streak by a Cubs pitcher since Mordecai Brown had 11 in 1908, the last time they won the World Series. Fraziers RBI single tied it at 2, and the Reds pulled off that suicide squeeze to take the lead. Branddon Phillips was on third when Robinson swung at the first pitch but failed to put the ball in play, then got the sign for the bunt.dddddddddddd "Thats part of my game," said Robinson, who practices it every day. "I was kind of expecting it. Wed talked about it in the past. That was the perfect situation for it there." Baker thought so, too. "Im not crazy about it," the manager said. "Its taking a heck of a chance. A lot of bad stuff can happen. He executed it perfectly. Brandon left on time." The run put Bailey in line for the win. Hanigans double made it 4-2, and Cesar Izturis drove him home with a pinch-hit single. "We have a good offence," said Bailey, who gave up five hits and two runs in six innings. "They picked me up today. Theyll do that more times than not. I didnt think they were going to hold us to two runs." Phillips had a single that extended his streak to 12 games. Joey Votto went 0 for 3, ending his season-best streak at 12 games. Anthony Rizzo snapped an 0-for-22 slump with an RBI double in the second inning, slapping his hands when he reached second base. Rizzo scored on Alfonso Sorianos single for a 2-0 lead. The Reds traded Wood to the Cubs in December 2011 as part of a package for reliever Sean Marshall, who went on the disabled list with a sore shoulder before the start of the series. The 26-year-old Wood finished last season strong and had kept it up. He couldnt beat his former team, falling to 0-2 in four starts against the Reds. The Reds got a scare in the second inning when right fielder Jay Bruce and centre fielder Shin-Soo Choo banged shoulders and fell to the warning track while chasing Welington Castillos fly ball. Choo caught it and held on, and neither player was hurt. NOTES: The Reds went 31-17 in 1995. ... Cincinnatis Johnny Cueto makes his second start since returning from the DL in the series finale Sunday. Hell face Matt Garza, also making his second start since returning from the DL. ... Rizzo also singled to centre in the fifth, but Choo threw him out as he tried to stretch it to a double. ... The Reds had homered in each of their last nine games. ... The Cubs ended their streak of four straight games with an error. ' ' '
