Swans skipper Kieren Jack is expecting the first Sydney AFL finals derby will ignite passion in a new generation of Australian rules fans, like he experienced in another big match in the city 13 years ago,A crowd of close to 60,000 is expected to attend the 11th and most significant Sydney derby yet.The last Australian rules match at ANZ Stadium, between minor premiers Sydney and maiden finalist and fourth-placed GWS, is set to give the code its biggest push in the harbour city for many years.Jack likens its potential to another massive game he attended at the same venue as a 16-year-old in 2003.In front of 71,019 spectators, the Swans lost to the mighty Brisbane Lions, who in the next match would complete a hat-trick of premiership wins.I can still vividly recall going to a Sydney Swans-Brisbane Lions preliminary final in 2003 and thats what ignites the passion, Jack said.For a lot of young kids and supporters out there it will ignite some passion this weekend.Jack is encouraged by the progress Australian rules is making in a city that was initially resistant to its charms.Its clearly still behind some of the major codes, but were starting to see some real inroads, Jack said.From the junior level all the way up and the academies are doing that, so its very promising I think.However, he doesnt expect his code of choice to supplant rugby league, the sport in which his father Garry excelled, as the leading football code in Sydney.It would be pretty tough, I would have thought, he said.It (Sydney) is a very competitive market, but what you are doing is allowing young kids now with different choices.I think the facilities and the infrastructure that the AFL are putting in place will only encourage more kids to go down that path, so who knows where it will end up in 10, 20 years time.

Vapormax Italia . -- Ken Appleby made 32 saves for his first shutout of the season to lead the Oshawa Generals to a 2-0 win over the Belleville Bulls on Wednesday in Ontario Hockey League action. TORONTO -- In their first visit to Toronto, the San Diego Padres hit yet another home run but didnt manage much else against the Blue Jays.Aaron Sanchez pitched seven shutout innings to win his 10th straight decision, Kevin Pillar had three hits and Toronto beat the Padres 4-2 on Monday night.Playing their first interleague road game against Toronto, the Padres were held scoreless until Alex Dickerson hit a two-run homer off Bo Schultz in the ninth.Dickersons drive into the fifth deck extended San Diegos team-record streak of games with at least one home run to 23. The 2006 Atlanta Braves were the last National League team to homer in 23 straight games.Heck of a swing, Padres manager Andy Green said. If youre ever privileged to stand close enough to the dugout to listen to him on deck, he literally whistles the bat. Ive never heard anybody else swing a bat like that on deck.Dickerson acknowledged admiring his towering shot as he began to round the bases.I saw it the whole way, he said. It was one of my slower trots to first, honestly. It felt good, it really did.Still, after losses in six of the past eight games for the Padres, Dickerson didnt feel too much like celebrating.The streak is a fun thing to keep track of, but realistically, well take a win with a bunch of singles, he said.Sanchez (11-1) became the first Blue Jays pitcher to win 10 straight since Roy Halladay won 15 decisions in a row in 2003. Halladay and Roger Clemens (1998) hold the club record.Its legit stuff. Its top-of-the-rotation stuff, Green said about Sanchez. Its not surprising to see him do as well as he has this year.Sanchez has not lost since April 22 against Oakland, a span of 16 starts. An All-Star for the first time this season, he lowered his ERA from 2.87 to 2.72.Just a good night for me, Sanchez said. When you can command your fastball up and down, in and out, its a fun game. Thats kind of what it was tonight.Roberto Osuna replaced Schultz and got two outs for his 21st save.Padres right-hander Colin Rea (5-5) allowed three runs and five hits in six innnings.dddddddddddd He is winless in three starts.Blue Jays outfielder Jose Bautista was activated off the 15-day disabled list before the game. Batting leadoff and playing right field, he went 1 for 3 with a walk. Bautista had been out since injuring his left big toe when he jumped into the outfield wall June 16 at Philadelphia.WELCOME TO THE CLUBPadres bench coach Mark McGwire hit the first fifth-deck homer in Toronto in 1996, and had a special greeting for Dickerson when he returned to the dugout. He said I joined a very special club that hes also a part of, Dickerson said. That was a special moment for me.SITTING DOWN ON THE JOBPadres RHP Jose Dominguez sat on first base to complete a 3-4-1 double play in the seventh.
