MINNEAPOLIS -- Alex Rodriguez has rejoined the New York Yankees -- but hes not quite ready to play. cheapjerseyschoose . Rodriguez was not in the lineup Thursday night against the Twins, and manager Joe Girardi said the earliest he would come off the disabled list and play would be Saturday night. "I had a really good day today," Rodriguez said. "It was just good to be around the guys and be around the coaching staff." He added: "The earlier, the better." In the afternoon at Target Field, Rodriguez did some running in the outfield with strength and conditioning co-ordinator Dana Cavalea, took grounders at third base and ran at full speed to first and second, the fastest hes tried to move since surgery July 11 to repair torn meniscus cartilage in his right knee. He looked a little stiff running the bases and said while hes comfortable swinging the bat hes still missing his first-step quickness in the field and isnt at full strength when he turns going from first to third or second to home. "I just dont think hes quite moving as freely as he was before he got hurt, but its a lot better than before he went on the rehab," Girardi said. "So hes closer. Just got to make sure hes ready." Rodriguez played the night before for triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre to finish his rehabilitation assignment and travelled from Pennsylvania to Minnesota for the start of a four-game series. He hasnt played for the Yankees since July 7 and hasnt hit a home run since June 11. "The last thing, and probably the most important thing, is the conditioning," Rodriguez said. "Ive got myself out of shape." He said hed rather be with the Yankees working on major league fields with the medical and training staff than continuing to play in the minors. Rodriguez also acknowledged hell have to be the designated hitter more than usual over the next few weeks as he gets readjusted to regular action. He said he hopes to be playing third base every day by September. "Wherever the manager puts me," Rodriguez said. "I love the game. Honestly, I know what I can do, and I know what I can do to help the team win. Part of the reason we had the surgery is because its important for me to come back and drive in runs and get big hits. Its not just to slap the ball all over the field. Thats just not my game." Rodriguez has only 13 home runs this season in 305 at-bats. He has hit 30 each of the last two years and gone deep at least that many times each season since 1998. He said he sustained the knee injury about three weeks before he was put on the DL. Appearing relaxed and smiling easily, Rodriguez expressed confidence in his ability at age 36 to continue to produce offensively at an All-Star level. He said hes admired Cal Ripken Jr. for his ability to play into his 40s and said he sees no reason why he cant continue to be an everyday third baseman. "The most important thing for me is health. If I have health and I go out there in the right condition, I know what I can do to help my team win and produce -- and produce big," Rodriguez said. Rodriguez also said he has not yet met with commissioner Bud Selig regarding the Major League Baseball investigation into his alleged involvement in illegal poker games. He said hes "looking forward" to telling Selig "as soon as possible" the reported details in Star magazine last month were "extremely inaccurate and unfair."http://www.cheapjerseyschoose.net/ . - The Abbotsford Heat hope a last-minute goal keeps their season alive for more than one extra game.www.cheapjerseyschoose.net . -- If this was Aaron Gordons final home game at Arizona, and it almost certainly was, then he went out in style.DENVER - For nearly 40 minutes, the Colorado Avalanche resembled the team that has been horrific at home this season. And then they suddenly transformed into the squad they expected to be all along, seizing a game that looked to have all but slipped away. Kyle Quincey scored a power-play goal 2:39 into overtime and Jean-Sebastien Giguere made 30 saves, helping the Avalanche rally from a three-goal deficit and beat the slumping New York Islanders 4-3 on Thursday night. "It was looking pretty bleak," Quincey said. "Halfway through the second, it was like, Here go again. But we stuck with it. "I think this is a turning point in our season. Weve got to build on this momentum and keep going." With the Avalanche on the advantage following a high-sticking penalty against goalie Al Montoya, Quincey sent a shot in from near the blue line. Just like that, he lifted the Avalanches sagging spirits by snapping a four-game losing streak (0-3-1). "It definitely wasnt our best hockey the first two periods. But sometimes that is the way it goes," forward David Jones said. "Put pucks to the net and find a way to win, especially at home." Josh Bailey, Brian Rolston and Michael Grabner scored for the Islanders, who led 3-0 until the final minute of the second period. Then, the momentum shifted. Montoya was sensational early, turning in one sprawling save after another. But he surrendered a goal to Paul Stastny with 21 seconds left in the second on a 5-on-3 power play and another to Milan Hejduk that trickled through his legs with nearly 14 minutes remaining in regulation. Jan Hejda tied it at three when his shot caught Montoya by surprise, sneaking into the net under Montoyas arm. In overtime, Montoya made a more costly mistake by taking a penalty that set the stage for the winning power play goal. "I dont blame him," coach Jack Capuano said of the Islanders, who are 1-6-2 in their last nine games. "They got to the paint there, one tried to stop and ran into him." Giguere settled in after allowing three early goals in his first home start for the Avalanche. But nothing shook him late, not even Grabner running into him and sending his mask flying, and knocking the net off its pegs. The Islanders were on the power play for the final 1:43 of regulation after Daniel Winnik was called for goaltender interference after colliding with Montoya. But the Avalanche killed off the penalty to get the game into overtime. &qquot;We had some good chances, but when games are like that and the momentum turns, you have to play with confidence and make the right plays," Rolston said.dddddddddddd To break out of their funk at home, the Avalanche changed some things against the Islanders. Colorado coach Joe Sacco started Giguere in net and benched centre Jay McClement, who had played every game this season but has just one goal. The team also called a players only meeting -- not to point fingers but to emphasize the importance of finishing games at home, where the Avs won for just the second time this season. "Weve got to stop the bleeding right now," Giguere said at the morning skate. "Enough talking, its time to have some action." Giguere gave high marks for the way his team responded. "We showed a lot of leadership. Guys were speaking up on the bench and we werent accepting being down," Giguere said. "It wasnt pretty in the second period, but we found a way to get our energy and get our legs under us. When we scored that big goal it gave us a lot of energy." The Islanders demonstrated they have more weapons on offence than just John Tavares, who entered with eight of New Yorks 25 goals (32 per cent), the highest percentage in the NHL. On a night when Tavares was held in check, his teammates picked up the slack. Grabner gave the Islanders a seemingly comfortable three-goal lead when he scored off a pass from Matt Moulson midway through the second. That was after Rolston fired a shot past Giguere just 34 seconds into the second. It was the Islanders fastest goal to start a period this season. Bailey scored his first of the season when he redirected a shot from defenceman Mark Streit past Giguere. Avalanche forward Peter Mueller missed another game because of a head injury. Mueller took part in the morning skate, but Sacco said he wasnt ready to play. Mueller has been in only three games for the Avs this season after sitting out all of last season with post-concussion symptoms. "All we can do is stay patient with him," Sacco said. "Hell get back in that lineup pretty soon." NOTES: Avs F Cody McLeod took a stick to the face in the opening period that cut open the side of his nose. He sat on the bench as the trainers fixed him up. ... The Avs had over 50 shots on net for the first time since Nov. 12, 2002, against Columbus. ... Islanders G Evgeni Nabokov was scratched, as Rick DiPietro served as Montoyas backup. cheap jerseys cheap jerseys from china ' ' '
