O.C., California- Staffeln » Tony Romo has been the talk of the football

Tony Romo has been the talk of the football world with his recent decision to retire from football to join CBS’s announce team. The former Dallas Cowboy quarterback will now color commentate alongside Jim Nantz as CBS’s top broadcast team. This seems like the strangest ending we could have seen to the Tony Romo saga. Less than a year ago http://www.thebengalsfootballauthentic.com/drew-sample-jersey-authentic , the thirteen year veteran broke his back and surrendered his starting job to rookie quarterback Dak Prescott. Prescott would never relinquish the job back to Romo and forced him to take a backup role for the entire 2016-2017 season. Now that he is no longer an active quarterback, all we can do is look back on the career that was Tony Romo.After going undrafted in the 2004 NFL draft, Romo fought his way onto the Dallas Cowboys roster and served as a backup his first two years in the league behind Drew Bledsoe. Once he gained an opportunity to start, Romo flourished as the Cowboys quarterback. Romo retired as the Cowboys active leader in passing yards and touchdowns and will go down as one of the greatest quarterbacks to play for “America’s Team”.Despite all of the success he achieved, Romo will always be haunted by his 2-4 playoff record. Many experts would not put him in the top tier of quarterbacks because of his inability to play big when it mattered. This also carried over to some of Romo’s former teammates as well. As the Dallas Cowboys starting quarterback, he was bound to have some supporters as well as some outspoken haters.Here are 8 players who loved being Tony Romo’s teammate and 7 who hated it:
LOS ANGELES — The Pittsburgh Pirates are undecided on a starter for Wednesday’s series finale against the Los Angeles Dodgers, and volunteers might be hard to come by.

The Dodgers’ offense is coming off a productive June when they hit 55 home runs, most in a calendar month in franchise history. And at the start of July, they look even better.

First the Dodgers crushed the Pirates on Monday to the tune of 17 runs and 21 hits. On Tuesday it was six home runs, including back-to-back homers from Joc Pederson and Max Muncy to lead off the game. Muncy went deep twice and has 20 on the season.

So with scheduled starter Joe Musgrove headed to the disabled list with a finger infection, the Pirates must send somebody else to the wolves.

Right-hander Clay Holmes (0-0, 2.25 ERA) is expected to make his first start of the season for Pittsburgh on Wednesday. He has pitched in two games for the Pirates this season Germaine Pratt Jersey , and he threw two hitless, scoreless innings in his most recent appearance June 24 against Arizona. He has never faced the Dodgers.

The Dodgers’ Rich Hill (1-3, 4.68) will make his fourth start since coming off the disabled list because of a blister on the middle finger of his left hand.

On Friday, Hill faced the Colorado Rockies and gave up one run on six hits over 6 2/3 innings with 10 strikeouts. He threw 110 pitches in that game, validating the series of laser treatments he received while out of action.

“I was really pleased with the consistency of the flight of the ball,” Hill said after his last outing, according to the Los Angeles Times. “The way the curveball came out of my hand, the consistency of that. Everything really came together tonight.”

Hill is 3-2 lifetime against the Pirates with a 3.25 ERA over nine starts, although he is a far different pitcher than the first time he squared off against them in 2006.

Holmes faces a major challenge against the Dodgers’ potent offense. When Matt Kemp went 5-for-5 with a homer on Monday, it gave him a hit in eight consecutive at-bats.

Also homering for the Dodgers on Tuesday were Yasmani Grandal, Enrique Hernandez and Chris Taylor.

The Dodgers’ run-scoring onslaught has left the Pirates reeling. Not only did the Pirates’ bullpen absorb five innings Monday, it was called on for three more innings Tuesday. Tuesday’s starter http://www.thebengalsfootballauthentic.com/ryan-finley-jersey-authentic , Ivan Nova, allowed seven runs on nine hits in his five-plus innings.

“We’ve been a little short on the front end of things, which has provided some complications on the bullpen,” Pirates manager Clint Hurdle said, according to mlb.com.

The Dodgers will see their 10-game homestand come to an end Wednesday, but their Southern California stay is just beginning. Next up is a “road trip” to Anaheim and San Diego, before three more home games to close out the first half.

The Pirates are 2-3 on their six-game tour of Southern California, having faced the San Diego Padres before arriving in Los Angeles. They are 4-4 on their nine-game road trip, which also included a stop in New York to face the Mets.
