When a head coach and his team sit with just a pair of wins come Thanksgiving, the playoffs are all but a mathematical long shot. Cheap Matthew Stafford Jersey . Considering that the team has gone through more turnover, turmoil, and injuries than the franchise has seen in decades, it may prove difficult to keep the troops motivated. For head coach Tim Burke and the rest of the organizational brass — from acting CEO Wade Miller to acting GM Kyle Walters all the way through to the scouting and coaching staff — the collective mantra is to have the Winnipeg Blue Bombers in the most advantageous position possible come training camp. "Everything were doing from here on out, were building for the future," said Burke as he prepared his 2-12 club for Mondays Week 16 visit to Montreal. "The guys who are playing here are playing to get better. I just looked at who we played this last week against Calgary. We actively played I think it was seven rookies, six second-year guys, and nine third-year guys — so were really young. Were going to use these last four weeks to just get better as a team and gain experience in the CFL. That way were making ourselves better for next year." Burke has instilled a fresh mentality in his veteran leadership, as well as into the air-lift of new bodies brought in over the last few weeks. At this juncture, one could argue every single player on the roster is auditioning for a job next spring. "Ive never been in a situation like this before at this point in the season, but honestly were out here proving ourselves to the coaches and management every day," said defensive end Greg Peach, who was brought in mid-season after being released by Hamilton. "Its not like it all of a sudden changes and oh my god, Ive got to play hard. Every day that you are here youre playing for your job if its practice, games. So that hasnt changed in my mind, and I dont think a lot of the guys minds. But it is evident. We do have to play well." "Hes basically laid it out there for us that if you want to continue to play this game youre going to have to perform whenever times get tough," said fifth-year Blue Bomber Glenn January. "This is about as tough a time as you can have in this profession. Youve got to keep on coming to work every day with that hard-hat mentality, and making sure you dont put anything on film that can allow anyone to question your dedication to this game." For consecutive weeks the Blue Bombers have introduced new players into their lineup, either by way of injury, performance, or acquisition by the general manager. With the trade of CFL sack leader Alex Hall last week to Saskatchewan for a potential ratio-changer in offensive tackle Patrick Neufeld, Greg Peach slots into the starting lineup on the defensive line. The 24-year-old Neufeld will watch this week before potentially entering the lineup for the Week 17 home date with the Argonauts. The club has also brought in multiple imports including defensive end J.D. Griggs who will dress in Montreal. Burke describes Griggs as physically stronger than the departed speed rusher Hall. Others who will work to leave an impression over the remaining month of the season are defensive ends Michael McAdoo and Jake Killeen, offensive linemen Cordaro Howard and Shea Allard, receiver Jheranie Boyd, running back Mario Fannin, linebacker Taylor Reed, and defensive back Semaj Moody.

Giambi was hit by a pitch thrown by Edwin Jackson of the Chicago Cubs in the third inning of a March 7 game. X-rays at the time were negative, but Cleveland said Thursday the 43-year-old Giambi had felt increased discomfort over previous five days. "As he continued to show tenderness, we got him an MRI yesterday," manager Terry Francona said. "We treat the symptoms. He will be down for a number of days without activity, just getting treatment. Then when the symptoms are better, we can start getting him into activities. Then we can get him into baseball activities." The 2000 AL MVP, Giambi is a non-roster invitee to big league training camp. The designated hitter hopes to play in his 20th major league season and second with the Indians. Giambi has been hit by 179 pitches during the regular season, 11th on the career list. "I kind of knew. It was a cutter in it hit me just under the pad," said Giambi, who picked the ball up and flipped the it to Jackson. "I didnt want him to think it hurt." Giambi probably will not make the opening-day roster, but the Indians are hoping he will rrebound and be in position to join the big league team later. Cheap Graham Glasgow Jersey. "It is why you try to evaluate everybody, because if you need a plan B or a plan C, you have it," Francona said. Giambi is optimistic he will be back soon. "Its not tragic. At least its not displaced," he said. "The doctors told me it is going to be sore and we have to get the trauma down. Guys play with this all the time. Im not discouraged. Its really small, but with the trauma it wont let me swing right now. Its the human body protecting itself." Nyjer Morgan and Jeff Francoeur also are in camp on minor league contracts. Morgan strained his left calf Wednesday. "The trainers say day to day," Francona explained. "We have to protect him from himself. Hes kind of on a mission here if not to show us, to show the world hes back. He plays so hard. He has to pass some tests on the medical side. Thats not to hinder him. Thats to protect him." Right-hander J.C. Ramirez broke his left thumb and sprained a ligament during a "B" game on Tuesday against the Chicago White Sox and will be sidelined for eight-to-10 weeks. He is scheduled for surgery Monday with Dr. Thomas Graham at the Cleveland Clinic.
