Nearly a decade after his AFL playing career ended in heartbreak, Nathan Buckley still curses Jimmy Bartels genius.It is an unprecedented week for individual milestones in the league, with Bartel to play his 300th game and teammate Corey Enright to break the Geelong games record with his 326th.Former Fremantle captain Matthew Pavlich will reach the 350 mark and North Melbourne legend Brent Harvey sets the AFL all-time record with his 427th match.Bartel is renowned for his heroics in tight situations for the Cats.Buckley vividly remembered Bartels crucial role in the 2007 preliminary final win over Collingwood.The Magpies nearly pulled off a massive upset, but Gary Ablett snapped the goal that put the Cats back in front.In the frantic moments between Abletts goal and the final siren, Buckley sat on the interchange bench with a hamstring injury and watched Bartel ensure that Geelong would win.I have an issue with him, because in my last game in `07, Geelong beat Collingwood by five points and we were coming quite hard, Buckley said on AFL360.There were three stoppages in a row with about a minute to go on our 50m arc.The hitout came down to him and then he ran directly at the closest Collingwood bloke and then locked the ball up - three times.It was clear it was intentional, but he knew the rules, he understood the nuance of the game, how it was being umpired, what neede to happen and he got it done.It was frustrating, but you had to admire what he was doing and I reckon hes done that in nearly every game hes played, in some shape or form.A week later, the Cats broke their 44-year premiership drought with a record grand final win over Port Adelaide.Buckley ended his outstanding playing career without a flag and now coaches the Magpies.He and Cats coach Chris Scott also paid homage to Harveys career.Hes one of those rare older players who seems to have maintained his speed, Scott said.If anything, he has gotten better as the game has evolved.He seems to fit the modern game as well as anyone.Buckley said Harvey had the rare ability to match personal ambition with team needs.Thats usually the thing that gets you - you either get too self-interested about your own opportunities, or you sacrifice absolutely for the team, he said.Hes been able to balance that really well - its remarkable.

China NFL Jerseys .Y. -- The Buffalo Sabres have placed centre Cody Hodgson on injured reserve and recalled two players from their AHL affiliate in Rochester. Jerseys NFL Wholesale . This should be celebrated because it will not always be this way. With the amount of money given to players by their clubs these days, it is a wonder that so many of those teams allow the sport to continue to take away many of their assets so they can play for a different team in the middle of their season. DETROIT -- By the time Miguel Cabreras homer sailed deep into the seats in left field, the Detroit Tigers were already in control -- thanks to some unexpected contributions from the bottom of their batting order. Don Kelly and Ramon Santiago drove in a run each during a two-out rally in the fifth inning, and the Tigers went on to beat the Houston Astros 6-2 on Tuesday night. Detroit scored three runs in the fifth and two in the sixth before Cabrera gave the Tigers their final run with a solo shot in the seventh. Kelly entered the game with one RBI, and Santiago didnt have any. "Its good for the team," Kelly said. "All you want to do is win, and any way you can help out is big." Doug Fister (5-1) allowed two runs and five hits in seven innings. He struck out seven without a walk. Lucas Harrell (3-4) allowed five runs and seven hits in five-plus innings. The Astros have lost six straight and 16 of 19. Harrell was impressive for the first four innings but couldnt hold off the Tigers, even on a night when Santiago was filling in for shortstop Jhonny Peralta and Kelly was in centre field in place of injured Austin Jackson. Kelly was hitting .200 entering the game, but his two-out RBI single in the fifth got the Tigers on the scoreboard. Santiago, who was hitting .154 coming in, drove in Kelly with a tying double. "You dont want to be the last out. You want to keep going," Santiago said. "Those RBIs with two outs, they are big." Andy Dirks put Detroit ahead 3-2 with a double to right-centre that bounced over the tallest section of the Comerica Park wall, scoring Santiago. "Were trying some new things with our defence, and I thought they worked against me tonight," Harrell said. "The ball that Dirks hit was up there forever, and I thought someone might have caught that one. He hit it hard, and thats my fault, but I was hoping someone would get thhere.dddddddddddd" The Tigers added two more runs in the sixth on an RBI single by Victor Martinez and a wild pitch by reliever Travis Blackley that allowed Prince Fielder to score. There was no doubt about Cabreras eighth homer of the year. J.D. Martinez, the left fielder, stared into the crowd for several seconds in apparent disbelief after the ball cleared the fence with plenty of room to spare. Detroit has won all six matchups with the Astros this season, by a combined 50-12. This one was more competitive than Harrells previous start against the Tigers, which Detroit won 17-2 earlier this month. Houston was without standout second baseman Jose Altuve, who went on the bereavement list Tuesday following the death of his grandmother. The Astros had turned a major league-high 52 double plays entering Tuesdays game, and they added two more to that total in the first four innings. Houston took the lead in the second when J.D. Martinez hit an RBI double and Jimmy Paredes added a sacrifice fly. But Fister retired 12 in a row after a third-inning single by Jake Elmore. He gave up a double to J.D. Martinez in the seventh but struck out the next two hitters to finish his night on a high note. "We have spurts where we have good at-bats, but there are other times where we miss the pitch we need to hit, or when we are taking the pitches we need to attack," Astros manager Bo Porter said. "The key to making it in this league is figuring out the pitchers and how they are trying to get you out. You need to be able to adjust to the way they are attacking you, and we arent there yet." NOTES: Houston is 10-30, the worst start by a major league team since Kansas City was also 10-30 en route to a 100-loss season in 2006, according to STATS. ... The Tigers go for a three-game sweep Wednesday. Detroits Max Scherzer (5-0) takes the mound against Houstons Dallas Keuchel (0-1). ' ' '
