ARLINGTON, Texas -- Mitch Moreland tried to play through pain in his left ankle because Prince Fielder and about a dozen other Texas teammates had been sidelined by a dizzying array of injuries. Yeezy 350 v2 Zebra Online . Fielders replacement at first base just couldnt do it anymore. Moreland will miss about three months for surgery on an ankle thats been bothering him all season. The timing could mean that hes finished for the year, just as Fielder is after neck surgery late last month. "I felt like I was obligated to the team to go out there and give it what I had," Moreland said Sunday. "I felt like I did that for the most part until it came to a point where I cant do it." The 28-year-old Moreland had two injections to ease the pain, and he said the most recent shot lasted about five days. He finally went to manager Ron Washington to say the pain was just too strong. "Its to the point where Im hurting the team, hurting myself trying to go out there and make something happen," said Moreland, who knew surgery was coming but wanted to wait until the off-season. "Its hurting pretty bad." The Rangers, who didnt plan an immediate roster move Sunday, lead the majors in both disabled list uses with 18 and current players on the DL at 12. Moreland will become the 13th once they decide what to do about first base. Utilityman Donnie Murphy started Sunday against Cleveland. "Its hard to put your finger on it," general manager Jon Daniels said. "Its been a little bit everything -- ankles, backs, necks, elbows, legs, shin bones. We havent been able to connect the dots." Fielder, acquired in an off-season trade that sent popular second baseman Ian Kinsler to Detroit, was supposed to restore some power to an offence that dipped significantly in 2013. But Fielder hit just three home runs in 150 at-bats before acknowledging that he was dealing with neck pain that even went back to last season. He had surgery to fuse two disks in his neck. Moreland had a career-high 23 homers last year while hitting just .232. But he has gone deep just twice in 167 at-bats this year and is hitting .246. "Hes done everything he could have done," Daniels said. "Hes fought through it, but its become apparent its limiting him." Catcher Chris Gimenez, who has given the Rangers a surprising boost with his bat, has limited experience at first base in the majors and could be an option when the Rangers make a move, likely later Sunday or Monday. Another possibility is Jim Adduci, who played first early in the season but has been out since April with a broken finger on his left hand. He was close to returning when he injured the same finger during a minor league rehab assignment Saturday. "Were just going to have to go with what weve got," Washington said. "Im just trying to make the guys I do have believe they can and just go to war. Thats it." Fake Yeezy Boost 350 Womens . Yahoo! Sports columnist Marc Spears says that the Boogie Smooth album may have been an elaborate April Fools prank. Wholesale Yeezy 350 . For the Bombers it has been a combination of things coming together at the most inappropriate moments in time. Quarterback, injuries, Canadian talent or depth and leadership are all issues. Trust me when I say being a Bomber is no fun right now in a city that embraces football the way Winnipeg does. While Buck Pierce will be getting another shot, I think Max Hall does deserve another opportunity. http://www.yeezys350cheap.com/fake-yeezy-350-v2-wholesale.html . -- Brendan Leipsic had two goals and an assist and Nicolas Petan extended his point streak to 11 games as the Portland Winterhawks slipped past the Red Deer Rebels 5-4 on Saturday in Western Hockey League action.The Canadian Football League is fighting back against veteran wide receiver Arland Bruce. A former B.C. Lions player, Bruce suffered a concussion and was knocked out during a September 2012 game in Regina. He was cleared to play that November and alleged in a lawsuit filed in July that he was still suffering from the concussion when he returned to the field. Two months after Bruces lawsuit was filed, the CFL, Commissioner Mark Cohon, and Charles Tator, a renowned neurosurgeon and scientist who has consulted to the CFL, filed court documents asking that the claim be dismissed. The CFL declined to comment. In court documents obtained by TSN, Tator has asked that Bruce be responsible for the doctors legal costs. The CFL also filed its response to Arlands claim. The league has asked the court to move the case to Ontario if it isnt dismissed. In what Bruces lawyer described as an expected development, the league has asked that the case be dismissed and sent to arbitration under terms of the CFLs collective bargaining agreement. The CFLs tactic is the same one that the NFL employed during its own concussion litigation. Both leagues argued that individual teams are responsible for the health and safety of players. The NFL lost its argument and the case went to trial. Arlands lawyer Robyn Wishart said it would be months before a court rules on the motions to dismiss or move the case to Ontario. "Since Arland filed the case a number of former CFL players have contacted me saying that they have had health problems arising from concussions," she told TSN. "These are sad cases. In one instance, one former player who needs daily care is being looked after by his 80-year-old mother because he is American and doesnt have Medicare." Wishart wouldnt say how many players have contacted her. She also declined to identify the players. Its unclear how many former CFL players might be suffering from concussion-related symptoms. After Bruces lawsuit, the B.C. Lions told players not to speak publicly about the case, The Vancouver Sun reported. Tony Proudfoot, a former CFL defensive back with the Montreal Alouettes and Lions, died in December 2010 after he was diagnosed with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, commonly known as Lou Gehrigs disease. Proudfoot said before his death that he had discovered eight of the leagues 15,000 all-time players had been diagnosed with the disease. In the general population, it affects two in 100,000 people. Months before Proudfoots death, doctors at Bostonn University released a study suggesting that some deceased National Football League players who had received a diagnosis of ALS in fact didnt have the disease.

The Concussion Blog, a blog run by a U.S. athletic trainer, reported last month that Toronto Argonauts running back Terry Metcalf also plans to sue the league. Metcalf, 63, who lives in Seattle and teaches kindergarten, complains of chronic ringing in his ears, memory issues, and has a 50 per cent loss of feeling in his right hand, the blog reported. Phil Colwell, another former Argo, is also suffering concussion-related symptoms, the Waterloo Region Record reported in March. After a 1981 game when he was knocked unconscious, Colwell said the only medical advice he received was not to go to sleep that night, and was allowed to drive himself 100 kilometres home after the game. Colwell returned to play a week after he was knocked out. "At the time, if I had gone on the injury list for a concussion, I would have been cut," Colwell said, according to The Waterloo Region Record. Former Argo Eric "The Flea" Allen is also in the process of suing the CFL, the blog reported. Allen, who starred with the Argos from 1973-75 can hardly walk, The Concussion Blog reported, and is being cared for by his 84-year-old mother. Tim Fleiszer, a former CFL player who runs the Sports Legacy Institute, a non-profit group committed to advancing the study of head trauma, told TSN that there probably are other players with health problems, but might not believe that theres a big financial upside to suing the CFL. "Theres obviously a lot more money in the NFL to pay out on these things," Fleiszer said. Bruce, 36, a self-described "unemployed football player" in his lawsuit, has asked the court to award him damages for medical expenses and loss of income. The CFL Players Association proposed during negotiations for collective bargaining a requirement that an independent neurologist be on the sidelines for every game, The Vancouver Sun reported. CFL officials rejected that proposal, arguing teams already have relationships with some of Canadas top physicians. The proposal for independent neurologists was not adopted when the players agreed to a five-year CBA in June. Bruces claims have not been proven in court. None of the defendants have filed substantive statements of defence. ' ' '
