CHICAGO -- From their torrid start to their dreadful slump and sudden resurgence, it sure has been a wild season for the Chicago White Sox.They are looking better as the All-Star break approaches.Miguel Gonzalez pitched five-hit ball over seven innings and the White Sox beat the New York Yankees 5-0 on Wednesday night.The White Sox have won six of eight and 11 of 16. They took two of three from the Yankees and won their fifth straight series.Thats more like it for a team that led the AL Central at 23-10 before going into a huge tailspin.Everybody seems to be contributing in one way or another and its nice, manager Robin Ventura said. Were playing better baseball, its that simple. Were playing all-around better baseball.The White Sox bounced back after getting blanked for the fifth time and handed the Yankees their fifth shutout.Tim Anderson capped a four-run second with a two-run double off Michael Pineda (3-8). Gonzalez (2-4) took it from there.He matched his longest outing of the season and shut down New York after it pounded out a season-high 20 hits in Tuesdays 9-0 romp.Gonzalez, who went seven innings in a loss at Houston last week, struck out three and walked one. The right-hander was 0-3 with a 7.25 ERA in his previous four starts.Zach Duke worked 1 1/3 innings, and David Robertson got the final two outs, striking out Chase Headley with runners on second and third to end the game.I think that we learned from our success early on, we learned from our failures last month, Adam Eaton said.Jacoby Ellsbury and Didi Gregorious each had three hits for New York. But the Yankees (41-43) missed a chance to reach the .500 mark and dropped to 2-4 on a 10-game trip that takes them to the All-Star break.We cant get over the hump, manager Joe Girardi said. We cant play consistent enough to get over the hump and get to five games over, get to 10 games over and its a number of different things. Its pitching at times. Its swinging the bats at times. You look at the two games here and we didnt hit with runners on and that was the difference.Pineda, who had a 2.75 ERA in six June starts, gave up five runs and five hits in six innings.The White Sox did most of their scoring in the second, pounding out four runs after Pineda retired the first two batters.Brett Lawrie singled to ignite the rally and scored from second on a base hit by Avisail Garcia, who came in on a 6-for-46 slump. J.B. Shuck added an RBI ground-rule double to left, putting runners on second and third, and Anderson followed with a double to left that made it 4-0.NO BATTING PRACTICEBoth teams were forced to cancel batting practice after a pipe on the third-base side cracked. Workers dug a trench on the foul side of the base, though it was filled in by the time the game started.If we lose a player in a sink hole ..., Girardi said. Maybe one of their players should walk over it first.SALES PITCHWhite Sox ace Chris Sale was very appreciative after joining Billy Pierce as the only White Sox pitchers to make five straight AL All-Star teams. He also said it would be such a thrill to start, a possibility considering he leads the majors with 14 wins.Ive always been there and seen the start of the game and just everything that goes into it, he said. I would be thrilled to do that.TRAINERS ROOMYankees: Carlos Beltran was back at designated hitter after playing the outfield Tuesday for the first time in a week. He has been bothered by a tight right hamstring. The issue is not gone, so hes probably going to DH more than the outfield for a little bit, Girardi said. Girardi also said he thinks Beltran will be able to play in the All-Star Game after being selected for the ninth time.White Sox: The White Sox hope to get C Alex Avila (strained right hamstring) back during their series against Detroit at home July 21-24 after placing him on the 15-day disabled list on Wednesday.UP NEXTYankees: New York opens a four-game series at AL Central leader Cleveland, with RHP Ivan Nova (5-5, 5.06 ERA) starting for the Yankees and RHP Trevor Bauer (7-2, 3.02) pitching for the Indians.White Sox: Sale (14-2, 2.93) goes for his 15th win as the White Sox open a three-game series against Atlanta on Friday.Air Max 90 Scontate Uomo .

It has been a tremendous economic boost for West Virginia and a tremendous morale and spiritual boost for the people -- especially now.These people dont need another cannon ball right now, Justice added. But if thats what it is, you deal with it.The Saints have gone 7-9 following each of their first two training camps at the resort, which was founded as a health spa on the site of natural springs in the midst of a scenic, rugged, densely forested landscape near the West Virginia-Virginia state line.Many Saints fans now question whether the luxurious surroundings -- marked by Classic Revival architecture similar to the White House -- have made players soft. Others simply question why the club cant find a suitable training site much closer than the nearly 900-mile drive from New Orleans. After all, the Saints lone Super Bowl season followed a training camp held at team headquarters in 2009.Saints coach Sean Payton got to know Justices resort while attending the PGA Tours Greenbrier Classic (which was canceled by flooding this summer). Payton readily shows his affection for the Greenbrier and dismisses the notion that the posh surroundings are responsible for the Saints recent struggles. He has said the relative seclusion makes it easier to work without distraction, and that the facilities, sitting at an elevation of about 2,000 feet, provide summer practice conditions considerably less hot and humid than in south Louisiana.At the same time, its not clear that the Saints believe that conntinuing to train at the Greenbrier serves their best interest.ddddddddddddWell evaluate that. We do that at the end of each year, Saints executive vice president and general manager Mickey Loomis said shortly after the club arrived in West Virginia this summer. Ultimately, it comes down to what gives us the best chance to be successful.What was clear from comments made by Loomis, Payton and several players was that the teams bond with the people of White Sulphur Springs was strengthened by the decision not to move camp from the resort following devastating June floods. The Saints, who a decade ago embraced their role in New Orleans recovery from Katrina, canceled conditioning tests on their first full day in West Virginia and instead helped fix up a public recreational area that included a playground, tennis and basketball courts, and playing fields.Any time youre there to help and really work, it transcends regions and states and theres an element of the human spirit thats consistent, Payton said.Stephen Gustard, who expects to be displaced from his flooded White Sulphur Springs home for months, called the Saints effort to rebuild the park a huge morale booster.Thats a place where kids can go play and get away from the depressing avenue where everyones at right now, said Gustard, the chef at a French bistro known for its goat cheese mousse served with figs on crostini in nearby Lewisburg. Its exciting even just having a professional team that supports our community by coming here.Last weekend, the Saints invited high school football teams from flood-damaged communities near Charleston, the state capital, to attend practice and meet with players and coaches.The Greenbrier is rebuilding from damage to its golf courses and other amenities, but the hotel sits above where floodwaters rose, as do the terraced, hillside facilities the Saints use.If the Saints dont return, Justice said hell see if other NFL teams are interested. But Justice stressed that his initial hope was that the Saints would make the Greenbrier their home-away-from-home for many years. He has tried to make it affordable, charging the club a $150 room rate instead of the usual $400-plus during summer. Justice said his catering staff provides team meals at a discount and sticks to a menu devised by the teams nutritionist.Ive adopted them, said Justice, whose Greenbrier office is adorned with Saints memorabilia.---AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and AP NFL Twitter feed: http://twitter.com/AP-NFL ' ' '
