OTTAWA - When opportunity knocks, Henry Burris says the Ottawa Redblacks must answer the call. The veteran quarterback says the CFL expansion team has often been its worst enemy this season with bad penalties and an inability to consistently convert scoring chances into touchdowns. A case in point was Ottawas 33-23 road loss to the Hamilton Tiger-Cats on Saturday when the Redblacks put several solid drives together but either came away with no points or settled for field goals. Burris said Ottawa (1-3) must take advantage of whatever chances it gets Saturday night when it hosts the defending Grey Cup-champion Saskatchewan Roughriders (2-2) at TD Place Stadium. Catch the action live on TSN at at 7pm et/4pm pt. "Weve been able to get drives going against pretty much anybody weve played but weve found ways to shoot ourselves in the foot, whether its been mental errors, penalties or something like that," Burris told reporters Friday. "Those are things that are easily correctable but the problem is if you say theyre easily correctable then we cant have those mistakes happening over and over again. "When we have a chance to put the ball in the end zone, weve got to put seven points on the board, continually put the pressure on (the Riders) and make them one-dimensional." Saskatchewan (2-2) comes off an impressive 37-9 home win over Toronto, with Will Ford rushing for 113 yards and three TDs in his Riders debut. The defence also registered four sacks — including two by defensive lineman John Chick — and two interceptions. Chick has a CFL-high six sacks and Saskatchewan is second overall with 18, one behind league-leading Edmonton. But Burris said facing the Roughriders gives Ottawa the chance to not only prove itself against the defending champions but also make hay in the weak East Division. Ottawa is currently tied for first as Montreal, Toronto and Hamilton all have just one win on the season. The Alouettes host the Argos later Friday night so its likely at least one club will have two victories and Burris would like the Redblacks to keep pace. "Right now, it is what it is in the East," Burris said. "This would be a great game for us to get some momentum behind us ... and do something no other team in the East is trying to do right now and thats string together a win after a win. "This is a great opportunity to play against a team like Saskatchewan. It not only gives you a chance to make a statement to yourself as a team but your fans in the stands and also across the league." The Riders will make their first CFL visit to Ottawa since Aug. 11, 2005 when the then-Renegades beat Saskatchewan 22-17. In that game, Ottawa quarterback Kerry Joseph threw for 168 yards and a TD and ran for two more against a team that two years later hed lead to a Grey Cup title en route to being named the leagues outstanding player. The CFL suspended the Renegades following the 05 season due to financial instability. "I think thats going to be a challenge for us but I think its also exciting for the guys to play at a new stadium with a brand new team," Riders coach Corey Chamblin said of his teams Ottawa visit. "Its always new energy there and right now our record is clean there." Chamblin says its wrong to think of Ottawa as an expansion team because many of their players are CFL veterans. "It might be new in terms of facilities and all that but these players on that team, they know how to play in this league," Chamblin said. "I think those guys are ahead of the curve. "I think a lot of people thought theyd struggle in all three phases but I dont think theyve struggled at all. Theyve done a very good job of putting together a good team." Durant is looking forward to seeing how many of the Riders loyal fans make the trip to Ottawa. "I love night games, first and foremost, and being in a brand new stadium in that type of environment," he said. "Im really anxious to see what kind of green we can get." But the veteran quarterback also believes Ottawas defence is a very capable one especially under the watch of head coach Rick Campbell, the former Calgary Stampeders defensive co-ordinator. "I see a defence that flies around," he said. "Theyre very well coached ... so I know theyll be fundamentally sound. "Theyve got some good veteran players over there who played on other teams in the past. Theyre not bad at all." Veteran slotback Chris Getzlaf, a 31-year-old Regina native, returns after missing three games with a leg injury. "Its very important," Durant said of Getzlafs return. "Hes one of the better receivers in our league, not just Canadian, and hes had a lot of success. "Hes a guy who I know his body language and exactly where hes going to be." It will be an extended road trip for the Riders, wholl visit the Winnipeg Blue Bombers on Thursday night. Lanny McDonald Jersey . A better question yet may be this: How many times has the same player been involved in both? Morneau hit a two-run homer in the 10th inning and helped the Colorado Rockies turn the third triple play in team history as they beat the San Diego Padres 8-6 on Sunday. Doug Gilmour Jersey . In fact, with a few improvements, this could very well be a decent team over the next few seasons. I will go into more detail when digging into the Canucks Off-Season Game Plan, which will be coming earlier this year since they are part of the non-playoff contingent, there are some reasons to think this is a favourable situation for President of Hockey Operations Trevor Linden and whomever he selects to be the new general manager. http://www.flamessale.com/authentic-al-macinnis-flames-jersey/ . And while taking highly-touted Simon Fraser offensive lineman Matthias Goossen second overall on Tuesday night will definitely help in an area of need for the club, it was a swap of draft picks that may prove to be his most shrewd move. "When Jesse Briggs started to fall a little bit, you could just see Kyle perk up in his chair. Joe Nieuwendyk Jersey . "We cannot stay the same way the whole season long," said Reyes. "This is not acceptable. Something needs to change because were a better team than what were showing right now. Its a long season and we just need to continue to push." Its been a frustrating week for the ballclub. Gary Roberts Jersey .com) - Jimmie Johnson won Sundays AAA Texas 500 while championship contenders Jeff Gordon and Brad Keselowski as well as their teams were involved in a post-race fight on pit road after the two clashed in the closing laps at Texas Motor Speedway.ATLANTA -- Mike Minor is working to correct flaws in his mechanics that were discovered when he looked at this years results and matched them up to tape from his strong 2013 season. Braves manager Fredi Gonzalez said he was enthused with the early results. Minor gave up three runs, Chris Johnson and Ryan Doumit each drove in two runs during Atlantas six-run third inning and the Braves beat Eric Stults and the San Diego Padres 8-3 on Sunday. "I thought it was better than a quality start," Gonzalez said after Minor allowed eight hits in 6 2-3 innings. "It was outstanding and well go from there." "I think the thing that was really, really visible was that his arm action and his delivery was there, Im not going to say every pitch, but 90 per cent of the time. He was able to command his fastball on both sides of the plate and that was because of his delivery." Though far less than dominant, the start was an improvement after Minor (4-6) gave up six runs in each of his last two outings. He had allowed at least four runs in four of his last five starts. "There are some mechanical things that we focused on," Minor said. "There are some different things Ive been doing this year. We looked at film of last year and we found three big things I was doing different this year. We tried to change them but I think its going to take time. I feel like its going to be hard to do it right in the middle of the season, so its going to be something that I will slowly adjust." Minor was 13-9 with a 3.21 ERA in 2013. His ERA is 5.32 after Sundays start. The Braves trailed 1-0 before roughing up Stults (3-13). Back-to-back doubles by Gerald Laird and Andrelton Simmons started the inning. Tommy La Stella hit an RBI single that skipped between Stults legs, Johnson had a two-run double before Doumit followed with a two-run single. Yangervis Solarte led off the third with his first homer since his trade from the Yankees on Tuesday. Minor didnt allow another run until Rene Riveras eighth homer with two outs in the sixth. A feww thousand fans arrived early to watch the Hall of Fame ceremonies on the Turner Field video board.dddddddddddd Among the inductees were former Braves managers Bobby Cox and Joe Torre and pitchers Tom Glavine and Greg Maddux. Gonzalez delayed optional batting practice so he and Braves players could watch with the fans. Stults gave up six hits in Atlantas big inning and then allowed only one other baserunner on La Stellas sixth-inning walk. La Stella was caught stealing to end the inning. "You know, you come to a ballpark, you never know what youre going to see," Padres manager Bud Black said. "Eric Stults threw five no-hit innings. And in one inning he gave up six hits. "Really, he deserved a better fate." Stults allowed six runs on six hits and two walks in six innings. Minor left the game with two outs in the seventh and Denorfia on second base. Tommy Medica hit an RBI single off Anthony Vavaro to cut Atlantas lead to 6-3. Justin Upton hit a two-run double in the Atlanta seventh. Doumit made his fourth start of the season in right field as Gonzalez rested Jason Heyward. Gonzalez said hell give B.J. Upton a day off on Monday when Jordan Schafer starts in centre. After the game, Black announced the team will put outfielder Carlos Quentin on the 15-day disabled list on Monday because of a sore left knee. Second baseman Jedd Gyorko will come off the disabled list. Gyorko has been out since June 4 with plantar fasciitis in his left foot. Second baseman Brooks Conrad will be optioned to Triple-A El Paso. NOTES: Converted OF Jason Lane will be recalled by the Padres from Triple-A El Paso to make his first major league start on Monday against the Braves. RHP Ian Kennedys turn in the rotation will be skipped due to a left oblique strain. Black said Kennedy sustained a "mild" oblique strain in an at-bat and is expected to make his next start.
