The question that now must be asked is why on earth did Votto decide to dress like a Mountie for his appearance on MLB Network. Well this is the closest that we can get to an explanation at this point.. Were told @MLBNetwork photoshopped the uniform on him during spring training. He wanted to wear a real one for today on @IntentionalTalk.— Reds (@Reds) April 8, 2014Why is this the first time that we have seen Joey Votto in this environment? Why did no one warn us how funny he was and how good he was at improvising? "I am here for serious business" - Joey Votto.He doesnt fool around in his Red Serge while riding Nibbles. The best skits are always the ones where the actors are biting their lips trying not to laugh - and this is no different. He throws in a jab at Quebec for good measure and has a great Canadian accent. Adidas NMD R1 Rea . Picard had a goal and two assists to help Canada improve to 2-0 at the tournament.

Adidas Falcon Sverige . PETERSBURG, Fla. NMD Skor Billigt . -- LeGarrette Blount made one last big splash into a soggy end zone.DETROIT -- Kansas City Royals catcher Salvador Perez kept his eye on the ball. He tried, too, anyway, and wound up making a game-saving play. Perez tagged out Prince Fielder at the plate, preserving the Royals 1-0 win over the Detroit Tigers on Saturday night. "We had to win this ballgame and the manner in which we did it was just exciting," Royals manager Ned Yost said. Ervin Santana (9-9) and the Royals moved up on the two teams ahead them in the race for the second AL wild-card spot, with the Yankees and Orioles both losing. Tampa Bay currently holds that final playoff position. Greg Holland closed for his 43rd save, helped by an outstanding defensive play that shut down the AL Central leaders. Fielder walked to open the ninth, and the Tigers burly first baseman tried to score from first on Omar Infantes two-out double. Gold Glover Alex Gordon made a strong throw from the left-field corner to Alcides Escobar, and the shortstop then made the relay throw to Perez. Escobars throw came in to Perez behind Fielder and the ball was shielded from the catchers sight for about two seconds. "I didnt see the ball," Perez said. "I just put my glove down and got the short hop and tagged him." Escobar couldnt believe Perezs play. "Unbelievable!" Escobar said. "That game was one of the best games Ive ever played in in my career." Detroit manager Jim Leyland agreed with third base coach Tom Brookens decision to send Fielder. "Really, they executed that play to perfection," Leyland said. "The only tthing was, when I saw the throw coming in, I thought he might get a bad hop, but he made a terrific pick of that ball, and tag.dddddddddddd" Eric Hosmer had an RBI triple in the first for the Royals. He was thrown out at the plate on a grounder. Santana (9-9) won for the first time since Aug. 4, outpitching Doug Fister (12-9). He allowed five hits in 6 2-3 innings, walking one and striking out five. "Everything was working pretty good," Santana said. "I threw a lot of strikes and most of the time ahead in the count. That was the key." Miguel Cabrera made a bid to put Detroit ahead with two outs and a runner on in the sixth, but Gordon caught his long drive to left-centre at the fence. Gordon lined a single on Fisters first pitch of the game, and he scored on Hosmers one-out triple. Royals second baseman Emilio Bonifacio was ejected by first base umpire James Hoye after being picked off first base by Fister for the final out of the third. Chris Getz, who is from the Detroit suburb of Grosse Pointe, took over at second base for Kansas City. NOTES: Kansas City trainer Nick Kenney came out to check on Santana after he was hit by Andy Dirks liner in the second. Santana recovered to throw Dirks out at first.
