The Winnipeg Goldeyes were taught a lesson on Thursday night. Ben Smith Jersey . The Wichita Wingnuts demonstrated clearly why they have the best record in the American Association. Wichita scored four runs in the first inning off Goldeyes starter Joe Sintes and cruised to a 10-3 victor, as Wichita improved to a league-best 53-32 on the season. With the loss, the Goldeyes had their two-game winning streak snapped and fell to 47-30. Their lead over the St. Paul Saints in the North Division of the American Association fell to just two games. The Saints beat Sioux City 4-2 on Thursday. “We just dug ourselves a hole early and couldnt quite climb out of it,” said Goldeyes manager Rick Forney. “When we scored three runs in the fourth to make it 5-3, I thought we might have a chance to come back, but he (starter Joe Sintes) loaded the bases and we gave up that grand slam (reliever Taylor Bratton) and that was it. “Thats a good team playing very well right now. Theyre hot. They showed us why they have the best record in the league.” A three-run first-inning home run homer by Carlo Testa and a grand slam homer by Chris McMurray in the fifth were the big blows, as Wichita scored four in the first and four more in the fifth to put the game away. However, after falling behind 5-0, the Goldeys battled back in the fourth to make it 5-3. Casey Haerther led off with a single, Reggie Abercrombie doubled, Haerther scored on a ground out by Luis Alen and Abecrombie came home ahead of Jake Blackwood who hit a two-run homer. But in the top of the fifth, Wichita got the grand slam from McMurray, that made it 9-3 and the Goldeyes were done. Jason Van Skike (9-3, 3.19 ERA), who started the All-Star Game in Winnipeg late last month, earned the victory, while Sintes (0-2, 13.50 ERA) suffered the loss. There was no save. The Wingnuts finished with 10 runs on 12 hits, while the Goldeyes managed just three runs on 12 hits. The Goldeyes left at least one runner on base in every inning but the ninth. The Goldeyes and Wingnuts will meet in Game 2 of this four-game series on Friday night at 7 p.m. at Shaw Park. Justin Kipp (3-1, 2.60 ERA) will get the start for the Wingnuts, while the Goldeyes starter is still to be determined. Andreas Martinsen Jersey . With the Pirates in the thick of the race in the NL Central, the timing couldnt be better. Liriano struck out a season-high 11 in seven innings to win consecutive starts for the first time this season and Pittsburgh beat the San Francisco Giants 3-1 on Tuesday night. Paul Kariya Jersey . -- Steven Stamkos scored his first goal since returning from a major injury, Ryan Callahan had his first goal with Tampa Bay, and the Lightning beat the Florida Panthers 5-4 on Thursday night. http://www.hockeyavalanchestore.us/Peter-Forsberg-Jersey/ .Michael Briscoe is serving a life sentence for sexual assault, kidnapping and first-degree murder in the death of 13-year-old Nina Courtepatte in 2005.TORONTO -- Former MLS player Herculez Gomez marked the release of the leagues salary list with a tweet and a telling hashtag. "So MLS salaries were published today. Never an easy day for anyone, very uncomfortable for all. Low or high paid. .ElephantInRoom." While salary transparency is part of doing business in North American sports, it is rare in the soccer world outside of MLS. But here, they are released by the Major Soccer League Players Union. The pay discrepancy between the stars and grunts is especially striking in MLS, where a few elite are paid outside the salary cap. The rest make do in a league that holds most of the cards when it comes to salary negotiations and free agency. At his current annual salary of $48,825 (all figures in U.S. dollars), it would take defender Mark Bloom four years ($195,300) to make what Toronto FC teammate Michael Bradley makes in one game ($191,176). Bloom, a well-spoken 26-year-old who has started all four of Torontos games this season, is not about to make waves on the subject. "It really doesnt mean much to me," he said after practice Friday "Im going to come here and do what I always do, just work hard as, work as hard as I can, improve myself day in and day out. "Those figures, you cant read too much into these. You get worried about the business side of it, then your heads going to be out of the game. So Im just focusing on whats going in on the field." Did you look at the salary figures, he was asked. "I did. Of course," he replied with a smile. "Theres a pretty wide gap. You can see that every player is pretty much underpaid," he added when pressed. "Hopefully that will get fixed and that will be addressed." Bloom joined Toronto last year after playing his way out of the minor leagues. Ironically he got his chance to start late last season when the club elected to bench English fullback Richard Eckersley, who was on the way out because of his high contract number. Bloom made $46,500 last season, about one-tenth of Eckersleys pay. Teemu Selanne Jersey. Manager Ryan Nelsen acknowledges the difference in pay scale can cause problems within the locker-room when the numbers are revealed. "It does if youve got bad characters. Definitely," he said. "If youve got guys who are insecure about themselves or a wee bit jealous, yeah. A lot of teams have a lot of problems with that. "Fortunately, nobody can argue what Michael Bradleys done in his career or Jermain Defoes done in his career. And anybody who questions the difference, I just say Well go and do that. Then you can go and ask for that money." But Nelsen agrees salaries need to be raised at the bottom end. "I think they will address that," he said of MLS. Nelsen says he has been in both camps, making $24,000 as an MLS rookie in 2001 and then watching his pay grow as an English Premier League veteran. "Youve got to earn it," he said. "I always think that the market determines what you get paid. And those guys at the lower end, if they perform well, they get paid better. Its just a matter of time" Under MLS rules, a first-team roster is comprised of up to 30 players with players occupying roster spots 1-20 counting against the clubs 2014 salary cap of $3.1 million. Players occupying roster spots 1-24 must earn at least $48,500 this year while the minimum for roster spots 25-30 is $36,500. Bradley is one of three TFC designated players, meaning only $387,500 of his US$6.5-million salary counts against the cap. Bloom, whose wife is expecting their first child, did note that players who play well do get pay bumps. Just look at 21-year-old Toronto midfielder Jonathan Osorio who, after becoming a starter as a rookie last year, went to $142,600 this season from $46,500. Osorio says Bradley and fellow DPs Defoe ($6.18 million) and Gilberto ($1.2 million) have fit in smoothly. "Theyre great guys. Theyre not egotistical, noting like that," he said. "And (Brazil goalkeeper) Julio Cesar is a tremendous guy too."
