Axed Melbourne City goalkeeper Thomas Sorensen says hes not about to throw his toys out of the A-League cot after being demoted for Dean Bouzanis.Since a round one red card in Wellington, the legendary Danish gloveman has started each of Citys games on the bench.Its never a pleasant feeling for a goalkeeper to give up the starting position but Sorensen - ever the professional - is knuckling down, not fussing about.Thats football, he said on Wednesday.Im not going to sit down and cry over it. Im just going to work hard, support the team and hope theyll be an opportunity around the corner.I hate seeing players that are disappointed and trying to stir things up. I dont want to be that guy.As I had Deans support when I was playing, he has my support.The 41-year-old is in a similar situation to his counterpart at parent club Manchester City, Joe Hart.The England No.1 was told by incoming coach Pep Guardiola that he didnt suit his preferred sweeper-keeper role, leading to Harts loan move to Italian club Torino.The trickle-down of ideas between the two City Football Group-owned clubs shuffled Sorensen down coach John van t Schips pecking order.Were trying to go the Manchester City route and play a lot out from the back, Sorensen said.Thats the managers choice.The coach has some ideas about the way were going to play.Im old school. I know my limitations but its not like I cant fit in. Ive proven that.To be fair to Dean hes really good in that area.(Van t Schip) wants to see Dean in that role short term and well see how we end up.Sorensen did reappear in Citys goal last week against Western Sydney, after Bouzanis suffered an oblique muscle strain and was forced off at half-time.Bouzanis is expected to resume his role as first-choice goalkeeper on Sunday for the visit of Wellington Phoenix, but Sorensen remains hopeful his number could be called.Thats what Ive been told. Its not like Ive been put in the bin, he laughed.We dont tend to get a starting line up until the day before or the day of the game (and) I always prepare myself as if Im going to start.I dont know what the managers plans are but Ill be ready.Steve McNair Titans Jersey .

Eight losses in nine games have put Seattle (68-65) four games back in a crowded race for the final American League wild-card spot, so it probably wont be long before the Mariners are just playing for pride again.Coming off a three-game sweep at the hands of AL West-leading Texas, the Mariners saw their slim hopes of a division title go up in smoke and are calling in the firetrucks in terms of the AL wild-card race. Wednesdays 14-1 loss to the Rangers in the series finale felt like a splash of gasoline on a fire that had been burning for most of Seattles 1-6 road trip.It was a rough trip, Mariners manager Scott Servais said after the loss and a series that saw Texas outscore Seattle 29-11. There is no doubt.Ace Felix Hernandez got touched up in the finale, another hit to a pitching staff that has seen veteran Hisashi Iwakuma fall on hard times and southpaw James Paxton get slowed by a torn fingernail.No Seattle starter has had a rougher recent stretch than rookie Ariel Miranda, a 27-year-old left-hander who was acquired for veteran Wade Miley at the trade deadline but wasnt officially added to the full-time rotation until last week. Seattles decision to DFA veteran Wade LeBlanc left Miranda, who is listed as Fridays probable starter, as a permanent member of the rotation -- then he struggled in four innings of work during a 9-3 loss to the White Sox over the weekend.Thursdays rostter expansion didnt provide much help to the struggling rotation, as Seattle activated veteran reliever Evan Scribner and added outfielder Ben Gamel in a trade with the Yankees.dddddddddddd.The Angels could also make a series of post-Sept. 1 moves, but the most important one was the move Los Angeles didnt have to make. Trout was reportedly involved in a three-car accident after Wednesdays game but came away injury-free.Angels general manager Billy Eppler said in a prepared statement late Wednesday night that he had spoken with Trout, who said he feels fine, but no update Thursday was available as to Trouts status for the upcoming series.That Trout was not seriously hurt comes as a huge sigh of relief to an Angels team thats well out of the postseason hunt but could still end up having the AL MVP. Trout, despite his teams struggles, is having another banner year as he ranks among the ALs top five in batting (.319), runs (102) and stolen bases (21). His .999 OPS ranks second to Bostons David Ortiz (1.022), while Trout has the ALs best WAR at 8.9.His Angels have actually been playing pretty well as of late, as they carry a five-game winning streak into Seattle. Left-hander Brett Oberholtzer (3-2, 5.165 ERA) is scheduled to make his second start as an Angel on Friday after being claimed off waivers from Philadelphia. The former Houston Astros pitcher has a 4-0 record and a 0.75 ERA in four career appearances against Seattle, including an inning of relief for the Angels last month.Los Angeles could also be using a new closer in this series, as Fernando Salas was traded to the Mets on Thursday. Salas had taken over for Joe Smith, who had taken over for injured closer Huston Street before being dealt to the Chicago Cubs at the trade deadline. ' ' '
