CHICAGO -- Tim Anderson is excited. Scarpe Nike Tn Squalo In Vendita . The fast start with the Chicago White Sox is great and all, but its more about who is waiting at home each day.Anderson and his fiancee, Bria, welcomed their first child in March, and the young shortstop is smitten with the new arrival.Shes a blessing. Shes on my mind, Anderson said. I put her initials in my hat, my helmet. Its life-changing.Peyton provides perspective for Anderson when he has a bad day at the ballpark. But that hasnt happened very much lately.Andersons promotion from Triple-A Charlotte on June 10 helped spark a gradual recovery for the White Sox after they tumbled out of first in the AL Central. Struggling veteran Jimmy Rollins was cut loose to make room for Anderson, who quickly moved to the top of the lineup to give Chicago a speedy 1-2 punch with Adam Eaton.Making his debut against World Series champion Kansas City, the 23-year-old Anderson doubled in his first at-bat and finished with two hits in Chicagos 7-5 win. He is batting .295 with four homers and 10 RBI through his first month in the majors, with multihit performances in 12 of his first 25 games.Youre talking about a kid thats come up here and really infused the lineup with a special talent, manager Robin Ventura said. Hes been great. Hes been able to hit, his speed is something thats fun to watch. But a kid coming up and playing shortstop and doing it with his kind of confidence doesnt come across the board very often.Andersons versatility and instincts were on full display when the White Sox (44-41) took two of three from the Yankees for their fifth straight series win.He hit a two-run homer in the series opener, and then made an excellent read on the bases that helped him score from second on Jose Abreus single to left-center in the eighth inning of Chicagos 8-2 win on Monday. A day after he went 0 for 4 with a strikeout and committed his first error, he bounced back quickly with a key two-run double in a 5-0 victory on Wednesday night.I think defensively hes been great, Eaton said. Offensively, hes learned on the fly quickly so its been good to see. Hes definitely a student of the game, a guy that comes in every day, wants to learn. He isnt afraid to ask questions so its a beautiful thing. Ive really enjoyed my time hitting behind him. Hes made my job much easier in the two-hole, so no complaints here.Ask Anderson about his smooth transition to the majors, and he practically shrugs.I feel a lot more comfortable than I did when I first got here, he said. I was real nervous the first game, but after that, I feel like once I got my feet wet I was normal. I never let the situation get the best of me. I always just stay within myself and try not to do too much and just try to play my normal game.Anderson, a native of Tuscaloosa, Alabama, attracted the attention of the major leagues when he starred as a sophomore at East Central Community College in Mississippi, batting .495 with 41 steals. He signed a letter of intent to play for UAB, but turned pro after he was selected by Chicago with the 17th pick in the 2013 draft.Anderson quickly made his way through the minors, hitting .304 in 55 games with the Knights this year. He has one walk and 35 strikeouts since joining the White Sox, a concerning ratio for a leadoff hitter that he feels will improve with experience. Ventura is impressed with his eagerness to learn.Theres questions that he has, and theyre spot on, he said. Theyre not just questions, hes asking a question so you think hes thinking about it, hes actually asking the right questions. I think thats not always the case when you get a guy that comes up thats as talented as he is. Hes not afraid of anything. Hes just going to play.And after hes done for the day, its home to see Peyton.Once I leave the locker room, I dont think about baseball or what kind of day I had, he said. When I see her, I try to keep baseball life here and home life at home. It really helps me a lot because when I see her, I dont think about baseball.---AP Sports Writer Andrew Seligman contributed to this report.---Jay Cohen can be reached at http://www.twitter.com/jcohenap Vapormax Scarpe In Offerta .

Third-seeded Murray had the easiest path to victory on New Years Eve, barely breaking a sweat during his 6-0, 6-0 win over 2,129th-ranked Qatari wildcard recipient Mousa Shanan Zayed. New Zealand consigned South Africa to their biggest ever home loss as they eased to a 57-15 win in Durban on Saturday.?The win sees the All Blacks equal the tier one record for 17 games unbeaten as they ran in nine tries against the Springboks.?It was just 12-9 to the Kiwis at half time but they pulled away in the second 40 with Israel Dagg, TJ Perenara and Beauden Barrett all finishing with braces of tries and Codie Taylor, Ben Smith and Liam Squire also crossing.?Barrett, having an off-day with his goal-kicking but not his other play, landed three conversions before Lima Sopoaga took on the duties and scored three of his own.The Boks finish the Rugby Championship with just two wins from six while New Zealand have racked up the perfect campaign with six wins from six complete with bonus points in each Test.The All Blacks preparations for this clash were undermined by an embarrassing revelation on Wednesday when scrum-half Aaron Smith was suspended for one Test and sent home from South Africa after admitting he joined a woman in a public toilet last month. Despite the distraction, the world champions produced a prolific attacking display and denied their opponents a try.Morne Steyn kicked South Africa into a 6-0 lead with twoo early penalties but Dagg quickly hit back with a 22nd-minute try after being released by Jerome Kainos superb pass. Air Max Plus Ingrosso. Steyn soon kicked a third penalty only for Perenara, who was Smiths replacement at scrum-half, to score with the TMO confirming the grounding despite the ball bobbling around.The All Blacks hit the accelerator in the 44th minute when Barretts offload from the floor rewarded a period of pressure. Steyn kicked two more penalties either side of Barrett scoring his first by grounding after a charge-down.Perenara then claimed his second, finishing after Barrett put Kieran Read into space, and Barrett did likewise under the posts with the TMO confirming there was no knock-on in the build-up.With the Springboks Lood de Jager sin-binned for a shoulder charge, Taylor was the man to emerge from under a rolling maul for the seventh try.The All Blacks were rampant and Smith took Barretts unselfish pop-pass to cross before Squires touched down in the corner following Barretts break, with Taylor by that stage yellow-carded for a high tackle.Press Association contributed to this report ' ' '
