Axed Melbourne City goalkeeper Thomas Sorensen says hes not about to throw his toys out of the A-League cot after being demoted for Dean Bouzanis.Since a round one red card in Wellington, the legendary Danish gloveman has started each of Citys games on the bench.Its never a pleasant feeling for a goalkeeper to give up the starting position but Sorensen - ever the professional - is knuckling down, not fussing about.Thats football, he said on Wednesday.Im not going to sit down and cry over it. Im just going to work hard, support the team and hope theyll be an opportunity around the corner.I hate seeing players that are disappointed and trying to stir things up. I dont want to be that guy.As I had Deans support when I was playing, he has my support.The 41-year-old is in a similar situation to his counterpart at parent club Manchester City, Joe Hart.The England No.1 was told by incoming coach Pep Guardiola that he didnt suit his preferred sweeper-keeper role, leading to Harts loan move to Italian club Torino.The trickle-down of ideas between the two City Football Group-owned clubs shuffled Sorensen down coach John van t Schips pecking order.Were trying to go the Manchester City route and play a lot out from the back, Sorensen said.Thats the managers choice.The coach has some ideas about the way were going to play.Im old school. I know my limitations but its not like I cant fit in. Ive proven that.To be fair to Dean hes really good in that area.(Van t Schip) wants to see Dean in that role short term and well see how we end up.Sorensen did reappear in Citys goal last week against Western Sydney, after Bouzanis suffered an oblique muscle strain and was forced off at half-time.Bouzanis is expected to resume his role as first-choice goalkeeper on Sunday for the visit of Wellington Phoenix, but Sorensen remains hopeful his number could be called.Thats what Ive been told. Its not like Ive been put in the bin, he laughed.We dont tend to get a starting line up until the day before or the day of the game (and) I always prepare myself as if Im going to start.I dont know what the managers plans are but Ill be ready.Fake Vans Free Shiping .

Cuban testified Thursday that he was upset when the companys CEO told him news that would reduce the value of his shares, for which hed paid $7.5 million.

Both teams still feel there is plenty of time to get back into their respective division races.We have some good players, Seattle second baseman Robinson Cano said after his team gave up a three-run lead in the last two innings Thursday and lost 4-3 to the Royals. We will keep playing.You lose as a team and you win as a team. We dont want to blame anybody here.The Mariners and Royals are two of eight teams within 4 1/2 games of the American League wild-card lead. Just a few games past the midway point in the schedule is no time to put extra pressure on this series, according to Kansas City manager Ned Yost.Then again, Yost says he doesnt do that for any series.I dont know how many times I have to go over this, he said before the game. I dont feel (extra) urgency. The reason for that is that we feel urgency every day. We dont treat these situations with more urgency than any other situation. In a major league season, every game is important. Your mindset has to be that this is the most important game of the year. Tomorrow, thats going to be your mindset.Royals rookie second baseman Whit Merrifield added, I wouldnt say theres urgency, but its always important to put together good games and try to take the series. Going into the All-Star break it would be good to finish strong and build momentum. But I wouldnt say that its any more urgent than any other series.I dont know about it still being early, but theres a lot of baseball left. A lot of stuff can happen between now and September or October. There are lot of games to be played and a lot of ups and downs to come.Seattle has experienced ups and downs on the road. The Mariners started the season with a 19-8 roadd record, but they have now lost 15 of their last 17 away contests, including nine straight.dddddddddddd Seattle is hitting the ball -- it has 129 home runs, the second-highest total in the majors. They Mariners also are pitching well, as they own the fourth-best ERA in the American League (3.94).Their defense has let them down. Seattle is tied with the Minnesota Twins for the worst fielding percentage in the league.The Royals problems are almost opposite. Kansas City is one of the better defensive teams, but it ranks last in the American League in home runs and RBI. The starting pitching also is struggling. Danny Duffys strong outing Thursday was just the teams 32nd quality start in 85 games.The Royals will throw inconsistent Yordano Ventura (6-6, 5.26 ERA) on Friday night. When hes on, hes on. When hes not, hes not.Recent back-to-back starts against the Tigers and the Cardinals showed his good and bad form. He went 6 1/3 scoreless innings vs. Detroit on June 17, giving up six hits with no walks and five strikeouts. He followed that outing by going 5 1/3 innings and allowing seven runs on seven hits with three walks and four strikeouts against St. Louis.Ventura is running into much of his troubles early in games. He has a 7.31 ERA in the first two innings but a 4.07 ERA from the third inning on.He will be looking for his first career win over the Mariners, as he is 0-3 with a 4.34 ERA in five starts. Ventura took a 6-0 loss at Seattle on April 30, when he allowed five runs in four-plus innings.The Mariners will counter with Hisashi Iwakuma, who has been improving as the season progresses. Iwakuma (8-6, 4.43 ERA) is 7-2 in his past nine starts. His ERA is still 4.47 in that span, but he has been able to keep his team in games.Iwakuma owns impressive career numbers against Kansas City: 3-0 with a 1.61 ERA four starts, though he hasnt faced the Royals this year.
