Undermanned Melbourne United have reinforced their NBL roster, signing US point guard Casper Ware.Ware, 26, had an impressive college career at Long Beach State University and has spent time with NBA teams the Washington Wizards and the Philadelphia 76ers.He was brought in to replace under-performing import and former NBL MVP Cedric Jackson after he was released last week by United, who are languishing on the bottom of the NBL table.Ware has a lot going for him as a player, United coach Dean Demopoulos said.He is high energy, has a great background, hes a willing passer and hell help us with his scoring punch.We think Ware will translate well in to the league and we look forward to getting him assimilated into our program.United have just three wins from 10 games this season, with injuries to stars Chris Goulding and Todd Blanchfield, as well as the underwhelming play of Jackson, key factors.Ware spent the end of last season with ASVEL Basket in France, alongside new Melbourne United teammate David Andersen.He averaged 12.1 points, 2.3 rebounds and 3.5 assists per game and was named finals most valuable player with 27 points in his sides championship-clinching game.We are excited at the prospect of having an explosive player like Ware join our club, Melbourne chief execuitve Vince Crivelli said.I feel confident that we have found what we need for the team considering our current requirements.Hes a young, aggressive point guard who is a good scorer with the ability to get his team mates involved in the game.We can stretch the floor and open it up, and hopefully that will create some new avenues to score.Ware arrived in Melbourne on Monday morning and will undergo a medical before joining his new teammates. Garrett Temple Jersey . -- Former San Diego Chargers safety Paul Oliver was found dead at his Atlanta-area home Tuesday night, and a medical examiner said Wednesday that the ex-player committed suicide. Bruno Caboclo Jersey . Louis Cardinals. Victorino is batting sixth and playing right field after missing two games because of back tightness. http://www.cheapsacramentokingsjerseys.com/?tag=cheap-buddy-hield-jersey . Louis Blues teammates who would also be participating in the Olympics, Alex Pietrangelo felt right at home, no different in some ways to the travel experience of any old road trip – save for the length of the journey, that is. DeMarcus Cousins Jersey . LOUIS -- Rookie Tavon Austin has missed another day of practice, lessening the odds hell be ready for the St. Mike Bibby Jersey . Dallas hasnt ruled out the star quarterback for Sunday nights game against Philadelphia, but all signs point to Romos back injury pushing Kyle Orton into the starting role after two years of limited play as the backup. Surely Ortons name isnt the first that comes to mind for fans wanting a change after years of damaging interceptions, fumbles or, most infamously, the field goal flub when Romo dropped the snap on a kick that could have won his first playoff game in 2006. CHICAGO -- Carlos Rodon was so disgusted with a start earlier in the season he tossed his glove into the stands. It got worse when he sprained his left wrist slipping on the dugout steps as he rushed out for the national anthem.After missing nearly a month, Rodon is starting to show why he was the third overall pick in the 2014 draft with hopes of joining fellow lefty starters Chris Sale and Jose Quintana atop the White Sox rotation.Rodon threw 6 2/3 scoreless innings, Jose Abreu homered for a third straight game and Chicago beat the slumping Philadelphia Phillies 9-1 on Tuesday night.Its building up trying to get to Q and Sale, Rodon said. Those guys are very good, top-line starters. Of the left-handers in the game, theyre probably the two best. Id love to be like that.Rodon (4-8) allowed three hits and has a 1.46 ERA in his past four starts after missing most of July. His fastball was consistently at 96 mph and he even worked on a new backdoor slider.Everything he does has effort, and its strength, White Sox manager Robin Ventura said. When he has it going on it looks really good. He doesnt need to get away from his strength and physicality is one of them. When he picks around and throws soft stuff hes not as effective.Abreu hit a two-run home run and Justin Morneau followed with a solo shot in the fifth off Jake Thompson (1-3), who gave up seven runs and eight hits in five innings.Adam Eaton tripled, singled and scored twice and Tim Anderson tripled, reached base three times and drove in a run as Chicago built a 9-0 lead in its third straight win.Freddy Galvis hit his 13th home run off Chris Beck in the seventh to end a 17-inning scoreless streak for the Phillies, who have dropped five of seven.Abreu hit 36 homers while winning AL Rookie of the Year in 2014 and 30 last year. Hes up to 17 as he heats up after struggling much of the season. Abreu has five homers and 11 RBI in his past 16 games despite a sore hamstring.This is as good as hes looked all year as far as nnot chasing stuff, Ventura said.ddddddddddddThe Phillies, playing on Chicagos South Side for the first time since 2004, managed five hits while Thompson allowed five extra-base hits and four walks in his fourth big league start.The right-hander has yet to pitch past the fifth inning and saw his ERA swell to 9.78. Thompson has walked 13 in 19 1/3 innings.He relies a lot on command, and he hasnt shown that, Phillies manager Pete Mackanin said. I attribute a lot of that to his youth and inexperience.TRAINERS ROOMPhillies: SS prospect J.P. Crawford (oblique) is back playing for Triple-A Lehigh Valley and is a September call-up candidate.White Sox: RF Avisail Garcia (knee) was activated off the 15-day DL and went 1 for 4 with a double. OF Jason Coats was optioned to Triple-A Charlotte, leaving nine players on the DL. . 2B Brett Lawrie (left hamstring) returned from his rehab assignment because of a setback and was scheduled for tests. . 2B Tyler Saladino (back) was available off the bench.NO HOWARDPhillies 1B Ryan Howard, hitting .107 vs. lefties, was out of the lineup. U.S. Cellular Field is the lone active major league park the former NL MVP hasnt played in.ASHER RETURNSPhillies RHP Alec Asher, serving an 80-game suspension for a positive drug test, gave up one run in one inning Tuesday in the start of a rehab assignment with the Class-A affiliate in the Gulf Coast League.TEBOWINGThe Phillies confirmed they will have a scout at Tim Tebows workout next Tuesday in Los Angeles.ROTATION CHANGE?Ventura said rookie RHP Carson Fulmer, sent to the minors to be stretched into a starter, could join the rotation soon. He allowed one run in four innings Tuesday night for Charlotte.UP NEXTWhite Sox RHP James Shields (5-15, 5.98 ERA) faces RHP Jerad Eickhoff (8-12, 3.91) to close the series Wednesday night. Shields has a 17.36 ERA in four starts this month. ' ' '
