Authentic Robert Hagg Jersey .J. -- John Elway says Peyton Manning cannot stamp himself as the greatest quarterback in NFL history even if he wins the Super Bowl on Sunday. http://www.cheapflyersjerseysauthentic.com/?tag=authentic-bill-barber-jersey . Toronto dropped a 7-2 decision to the Minnesota Twins on Wednesday afternoon, with only a pair of late runs preventing a second straight shutout loss. Josh Willingham belted a two-run homer in the first inning and Kendrys Morales hit a bases-clearing double in the seventh as the Twins took the rubber game of the three-game series. ATLANTA -- The Atlanta Braves hope Dan Ugglas improved vision will give the offence a much-needed boost. Uggla was activated from the disabled list and in the lineup Wednesday night against the Cleveland Indians. The move came two weeks after the second baseman underwent Lasik eye surgery. "Im very happy with how it went," said Uggla, who was batting sixth against the Indians. Uggla played two rehab games at Triple-A Gwinnett, going 2 for 7 with a homer. But he also struck out four times -- a familiar problem all season with the Braves. "They have that six oclock start out there, so it was going into bad shadows," Uggla said. "I was expecting the worst. But I could actually see the ball OK. It actually got better and better as the night went on." When Uggla went on the disabled list Aug. 13, he was hitting only .186 with an NL-leading 146 strikeouts. Despite a commanding lead in the NL East, the Braves have dealt with two huge holes in their lineup -- both Uggla and centre fielder B. Authentic Alex Lyon Jersey. J. Upton are hitting below .200. In addition, outfielder Jason Heyward is recovering from a broken jaw that could keep him out for the rest of the regular season. At least Uggla has provided some power, ranking second on the team with 21 homers to go along with 53 RBIs. Upton, who signed a $75.25 million contract in the off-season, was hitting .182 with eight homers and 21 RBIs. "We need to get those guys going," manager Fredi Gonzalez said. To make room for Uggla, the Braves optioned outfielder Todd Cunningham to Gwinnett, though he will likely return shortly after the rosters expand on Sept. 1. Gonzalez also revealed that reliever Jordan Walden is battling "leg issues," which is why he hasnt pitched in a week. The manager expects Walden to return to the mound in another day or two. cheap falcons jerseys cheap ravens jerseys cheap bills jerseys cheap bears jerseys cheap bengals jerseys cheap cowboys jerseys cheap lions jerseys cheap texans jerseys cheap colts jerseys cheap jaguars jerseys cheap chiefs jerseys cheap rams jerseys cheap dolphins jerseys cheap vikings jerseys cheap saints jerseys cheap giants jerseys cheap jets jerseys cheap eagles jerseys cheap steelers jerseys cheap 49ers jerseys ' ' '
