TORONTO -- Brett Lawries latest injury has the Toronto Blue Jays confused because theyre not sure quite how it happened. Dean Lowry Jersey . Lawrie felt something wrong in his left oblique muscle during batting practice earlier this week and now hes out a month. Even confounded by the cause of Lawries injury amid a season full of them, general manager Alex Anthopoulos doesnt blame the artificial turf at Rogers Centre. "I dont know that the injuries weve had have been linked to this," Anthopoulos said during a wide-ranging meeting with reporters Thursday afternoon. "Is there a wear and tear component to it? Sure. Im not denying that. "I just think its too easy to say everything relates back to the turf." Anthopoulos pointed to Lawries 2013 oblique injury happening at spring training in Florida and then at the World Baseball Classic in Arizona, all while running on grass. A couple of the third basemans other injuries, a broken finger from getting hit by a pitch and sprained ankle from sliding into a base, couldve happened anywhere. First baseman Adam Lind is out with a fractured right foot now but landed on the disabled list earlier this season with back problems, and Jose Reyes and Colby Rasmus each missed time with hamstring injuries. Reyes aggravated his hamstring ailment on the turf at Montreals Olympic Stadium, which Anthopoulos said used to be like "cement" when the Expos were there. Rogers Centre uses AstroTurf GameDay Grass, which gets rolled up for other events. Anthopoulos conceded that the turf can flatten out the more that its rolled but doesnt consider it the reason some players have gotten injured. "Guys that have Tommy John (elbow surgery), I dont think theres an impact," he said. "Adam Lind broke his foot. "It wasnt like a sledgehammer came up out of the turf and slammed him down on the foot." Edwin Encarnacion strained his right quadriceps muscle while running the bases in Oakland, and his rehab setback came when swinging in Dunedin, Fla. When a reporter relayed a story to Anthopoulos that opposing players have run to first and said to Lind, "I dont know how you play on this every day," the GM said he has heard the same thing before. But he also doesnt want to make the turf an excuse because the Blue Jays are locked into playing on it through at least 2017, when the stadium lease for the CFLs Toronto Argonauts expires. Anthopoulos said president Paul Beeston and members of the organization were exploring the possibility of changing the surface to grass. Five retractable-roof parks -- the Arizona Diamondbacks Chase Field, Houston Astros Minute Maid Park, Seattle Mariners Safeco Field, Milwaukee Brewers Miller Park and Miamis Marlins Park -- have natural grass, so the technology is available. "Would players certainly prefer to play on grass? Absolutely. Would I love to see grass? Absolutely," Anthopoulos said. "I know no matter what, the turf is there. "Its not going anywhere, at least for the next few years. So theres no point spending time on something that isnt going to change." Anthopoulos said it was a "total cop out" to blame the turf for any of the Blue Jays losing, pointing to the Tampa Bay Rays recent success. Rogers Centre and Tampa Bays Tropicana Field are the only two Major League Baseball stadiums left with artificial turf. Asked if the turf was a problem in signing free agents, Anthopoulos pointed to the two World Series won in the building formerly known as SkyDome in 1992 and 1993. But back then, the Blue Jays were among 10-of-26 major league teams playing on turf and one-of-five in domed stadiums. Anthopoulos wasnt sure if turf being more prevalent back then affected then-GM Pat Gillicks discussions with free agents, but he implied its not the driving force behind players signing or not signing with the Blue Jays during his regime. "Even in the past, when weve been able to bid high, whether its years or dollars, weve been able to get players," Anthopoulos said. "Do I think when things are very close, can it have an impact? Sure. But I dont think turf has anything to do with you win or lose games." Green Bay Packers Jerseys . Justine finished first with a score of 22.44 while Chloe was second with 21.66 points. Defending champion Hannah Kearney of the U.S., was third at 21.49. A third Dufour-Lapointe sister, Maxime, failed to make the final group and finished 12th while Audrey Robichaud of Quebec City was 10th. Kenny Clark Jersey . "I wouldnt read anything into what happened Saturday at Torrey Pines," Woods said Tuesday after an 18-hole exhibition for past winners of the Dubai Desert Classic. http://www.packersshopfootball.com/packers-ha-ha-clinton-dix-navy-blue-jersey/ . - Alex Dostie scored two goals and assisted on another to lead the Gatineau Olympiques to a 5-3 victory over the Drummondville Voltigeurs in Quebec Major Junior Hockey League action on Sunday.COLUMBUS, Ohio - The NHL Foundation agreed to donate $200 for each shot on goal at the leagues All-Star game on Sunday night.It ended up being a bonanza for charity.In the biggest offensive display in the exhibition games 60-year history, the 92 shots cost the NHL $18,400.John Tavares of the New York Islanders matched a record with four goals, and Team Toews beat Team Foligno 17-12 on Sunday in the highest-scoring NHL All-Star game.The game likely will also cost the NHLs goalies and defencemen a lot of sleepless nights.In addition to the garish goal total, 25 players had at least two points and eight had at least four.We had so many good players on each team, said Philadelphia Flyers forward Jake Voracek, who tied another record with six points. Theres going to be a lot of goals.DEBATE FOR MVP: Tavares may have tied the goal output of legends Wayne Gretzky (set in 1983) and equaled by Mario Lemieux (1990) — and also tied by Vincent Damphousse (1991), Mike Gartner (1993) and Dany Heatley (2003) — but he wasnt the game MVP.That honour went to hometown favourite Ryan Johansen, the Blue Jackets centre, who had two goals and two assists — for the losing team.The MVP was determined by a vote of fans on Twitter. Apparently, Islanders fans werent paying attention on social media.Tavares was gracious in not getting the new car that goes to the MVP.I didnt come to the game trying to get the car, he said. You get four goals, and obviously you think you have an opportunity. But Ryan had a good game. He had a couple of nice goals, made some nice plays.BROKEN RECORDS: It was the most goals in an All-Star game, eclipsing the 26-goal burst in North Americas 14-12 victory over the World in 2001.Voraceks six points tied another mark set by Pittsburgh legend Lemieux.Captain Jonathan Toews of the Chicago Blackhawks had a goal and four assists, as did Bostons Patrice Bergeron. DDallas Tyler Seguin had two goals and two assists, Filip Forsberg of Nashville, and Rick Nash of the New York Rangers — another former Columbus star — both scored twice, and Floridas Aaron Ekblad and St. Kyle Murphy Jersey. Louis Vladimir Tarasenko each had four assists.For Team Foligno, Chicagos Patrick Kane and Tampa Bays Steven Stamkos had two goals and an assist apiece, Philadelphias Claude Giroux had a goal and two assists, and Washingtons Alexander Ovechkin added three assists.QUOTE OF THE GAME: The Blue Jackets fire an ear-splitting salvo with their goal cannon — the franchise is named for the Union uniforms which were made in the city — after each goal by the home team. With Columbus Nick Foligno and Johansen playing together, Toews said he was thrilled to not have to hear more of the thunderous booms.Its loud enough that it gets on your nerves pretty quickly and especially when they score 12 or so goals, he said. It gets you a little bit.BEST MOMENT: Late in the second period, during a scrum in front of the net, Ovechkin and Foligno pretended to mix it up with Calgarys Mark Giordano and Chicagos Brent Seabrook.They sort of traded awkward hugs. Then everyone separated and cracked up as they skated to the benches.A WINNING VISIT: NHL officials, players and the fans raved about the many activities surrounding the All-Star weekend in Columbus, a first for the city.Johansen said he was touched by what he saw the past few days.Its meant a lot, being a part of it — seeing the fans and how much theyve been enjoying all the festivities, he said. We did a two-hour (autograph) signing. Everybody just seemed to be having a great time. All the kids were laughing and having a lot of fun.The players, at least those focused on offence, had a lot of fun of their own once the game started.___Follow Rusty Miller on Twitter: http://www.twitter.com/RustyMillerAP Cheap Nike NFL Jerseys Cheap NFL Jerseys Wholesale NFL Jerseys Cheap Wholesale Jerseys China Cheap NFL Jerseys Cheap NFL Jerseys Wholesale Wholesale Nike NFL Jerseys ' ' '
