SAN DIEGO -- After struggling in his last few starts before the break, National League Cy Young winner Jake Arrieta is leaning toward resting up for the second half and not pitching in Tuesdays All-Star Game, his agent, Scott Boras, confirmed Monday.Weve scuffled the past couple weeks, Arrieta said Monday afternoon. The break is coming at a really good time.Arrieta is 12-4 with a 2.68 ERA but has been trending in the wrong direction, having pitched no more than six innings in each of his past five starts, including three that lasted less than six. Arrieta was passed over to start the game for the NL in favor of San Francisco Giants starter Johnny Cueto. Now he might not play in it at all.Im not disappointed, Arrieta said of not being named the starter. Im realistic. My last three starts were poor.Boras confirmed his client was thinking about sitting out the game. As of late Monday afternoon, NL manager Terry Collins wasnt aware of Arrietas decision.Last season, Arrieta admitted he was fatigued in the National League Championship Series, which was won by the New York Mets in four games. This year the Cubs are trying to keep him fresh for October -- taking Tuesday off falls in line with that strategy. Of course, the game could dictate a need for Arrieta as hell be dressed and available for Collins either way. Custom Grizzlies Jerseys .

Cheap Custom Grizzlies Jersey .Y. - Jerome Samson scored once in regulation and again in the shootout as the St. Manlys NRL finals hopes are still alive - and its all thanks to Daly Cherry-Evans non-preferred left foot.Cherry-Evans nailed a clutch golden-point field goal on Saturday to lift the Sea Eagles to a 15-14 win over the Warriors in driving rain at Perths nib Stadium.Back-to-back wins improved the Eagles record to 6-11, lifting them to within two wins of the eighth-placed Warriors.Cherry-Evans had the chance to win the match with just one second remaining in normal time, but he shanked his 20m drop-goal attempt with his normally reliable right foot.However, he made no mistake with his left in the first period of extra time.I took a stab in the dark there and it paid off for me, luckily, Cherry-Evans said.My first intention was to go off the right.But the way it played out, there was a lot of pressure coming from that way, so it was just easier to have a go on the left.There wasnt much time left, so I knew I had to get the ball down quickly and have a shot.Cherry-Evans paid tribute to teammate Jake Trbojevic, who charged down Shaun Johnsons match-winning attempt just a minute earlier.Thats arguably the biggest play of the game, Cherry-Evans said.And, as his teammates, we mentioned that to him as soon as the goal was kicked.Its the little things like that that add up in the bigger picture. It was a huge play.Warriors coach Andrew McFadden said his team were gutted not to come away with the win.ddddddddddddts a tough way to lose, McFadden said.We were down 12-0 and didnt have any possession in the first 20 minutes. And we fought our way back into the game and got ourselves into position to win it.Its very disappointing to go close and not get there.The Warriors have lost all eight of their matches in Perth, with the latest defeat dropping them to eighth on the ladder with an 8-9 record.Manly dominated territory during the first 20 minutes and cashed in on the early momentum.In-form fullback Trbojevic brushed off two tackles to touch down in the third minute, and the Sea Eagles held a 12-0 lead when Jorge Taufua unleashed an impressive step and spin to score in the 14th minute.The Warriors needed something special to claw their way back into the match and second-gamer Bunty Afoa delivered.Afoa opened his account in the 24th minute after getting on the end of a sweeping move from the Warriors.He notched his double six minutes later when he managed to ground the ball despite the best efforts of Manlys defenders underneath him.There would be no more tries for the match, but there was plenty more drama to come.The Warriors had the better of the second half, but their inability to make the most of their opportunities ended up costing them the game.
