(SportsNetwork. Curry One Shoes For Sale .com) - The Los Angeles Dodgers turn to rookie Hyun-Jin Ryu on Sunday, as the National League Division Series shifts to Dodger Stadium for a pivotal Game 3 against the Atlanta Braves. Ryu was a seven-time All Star in the Korean Baseball Organization, but signed a 6-year, $36 million deal with the Dodgers last winter. The left-hander adapted quickly to the majors, going 14-6 with a 3.00 ERA. "Hes such a smart, intuitive guy who has a great feel for the game of baseball," Dodgers catcher A.J. Ellis said. "Weve really grown together, him and I working together. Hes grown with a lot of guys on the team." However, Ryu went just 2-5 over his final seven starts, while also dealing with a back ailment that forced him to miss a start in early September. Ryu raised some eyebrows on Friday when he tossed a bullpen session in front of the Dodgers team surgeon. Everyone has insisted that he is fine, though. "Actually, I feel really good right now. My goal is just to get my body ready to be able to go out there and win, and take the lead of the series," Ryu said on Saturday. "Typically, when I rest longer than normal, I always squeeze in a bullpen in there just to make sure that my body is responding the way I want it to." Ryu will also become the first South Korean pitcher to start a postseason game. Chan Ho Park and Byung-Hyun Kim have combined to make 21 postseason appearances, but neither ever started a game. "Its a huge motivation to know that an entire countrys going to be watching the game," Ryu said. "But equally important is the fans here at Dodger Stadium and the Korean community here. I understand there are going to be a lot of them coming out (Sunday), but its a big encouragement for me." Atlanta, meanwhile, will counter with a rookie hurler of its own in right- hander Julio Teheran, who was 14-8 with a 3.20 ERA. Teheran got better as the season wore on and pitched to a 2.97 ERA after the All-Star break. "Hes a young kid," Atlanta manager Fredi Gonzalez said. "Weve seen him for 162 games. He just keeps getting better and maturing with experience, and I think weve just seen the tip of the iceberg with him." After losing to Clayton Kershaw in Game 1, Atlanta evened the best-of-five series on Friday, as lefty Mike Minor gave up one run in 6 1/3 innings and the Braves held on for a 4-3 win to knot the series at a game apiece. Jason Heywards two-run single in the seventh gave Atlanta the insurance runs it needed for its first postseason win in three years. Hanley Ramirezs two-run homer in the eighth got the Dodgers within a run, but Craig Kimbrel came on for a four-out save. "Every night in the postseason is a must-win game for us," said Heyward. "You dont want to ever think its OK to lose. Thats been our attitude all year. I feel like any team thats in the postseason says we need to win tonight and we came up big." Kimbrel walked two in the ninth, but Gerald Laird threw out pinch-runner Dee Gordon on a close play and Kimbrel struck out Carl Crawford with a runner on first to end the game. "We came in and got one out of two in here," said Crawford. "We knew it was going to be a tough place to play with the crowd and everything. We had the opportunity to win two. We just gotta go back and get back on track." Atlanta won five of its seven regular-season matchups with the Dodgers this season. However, these teams havent met in the postseason since the Braves swept the NLDS back in 1996. Under Armour Basketball Shoes Canada . A quick first step to get to the hoop for a layup.

Jamies number grades given are out of five, with five being the best mark. Henrik Lundqvist, New York Rangers (4) - Lundqvist was solid all night, he made big saves on Gibbons and Crosby early on before stopping Malkin and Kunitz in the second period to stay ahead by two goals. He fought hard on rebounds and adjusted well in the crease throughout the game. He also had Letangs number all night as he made three great saves on him, including a big glove save in the third. Overall, he delivered a solid game in the face of elimination. Marc-Andre Fleury, Pittsburgh Penguins (2) – It was not his night. I thought he would have been pulled after two periods, but Bylsma stuck with him and let him fight through it. He was beat on rebounds tonight, the first two goals were both rebound plays and he was late to seal post on the first goal. Brassards goals were not his fault as he made a good saves initially, but received no help off the rebounds. He looked to be fighting the puck in tight as he gave up uncharaccteristic rebounds around the net all night. Stephen Curry 3 Shoes Price.   Ilya Bryzgalov, Minnesota Wild (4) - Bryzgalov was very solid tonight. He was his usual first-save-goaltender self while staying calm and composed. He allowed a bad goal to Sharp off a tough angle after he played it awkwardly and was not square on the play. He had no chance on the Handzus goal that was tipped. He made a huge save on Sharp on a breakaway with the score 3-2 to keep Minnesota ahead. He saved his best work of the night for his save on Morin in the third period; a reaction left pad save that was a one-timer labeled for a goal. Corey Crawford, Chicago Blackhawks (2) – Crawford was not sharp at all tonight, the goal he gave up to Fontaine was short-side shelf and stoppable if he wasnt down early on the play. Pominvilles goal from behind the net off a bank is a play that he loses track of the puck on, leading to the goal. He came up with good saves on Parise, Granlund and Haula to keep it close at 2-1 Wild, but the Neidereiter goal was a backbreaker; at 2-2, they had just crawled back into the game and that weak goal glove-side broke Chicagos momentum. Cheap NFL Jerseys Cheap NFL Jerseys China Cheap Jerseys From China Cheap NFL Jerseys Authentic Wholesale Jerseys China Cheap NFL Jerseys China NFL Cheap Jerseys Cheap Jersey ' ' '
