BOSTON -- One night after nearly tying the major league record for consecutive at-bats with a hit, Dustin Pedroia will miss the Boston Red Soxs series finale against the Kansas City Royals on ESPN Sunday Night Baseball.Pedroia took leave of the team Sunday morning to attend funeral services for a family member. Hes expected to rejoin the Red Sox midway through Monday nights game against the Tampa Bay Rays at Fenway Park.Based on his text, hes envisioning a walk-off hit in the ninth, Red Sox manager John Farrell said. Much like Pedey fashion, that was his departing text this morning.A player must miss a minimum of three games to be placed on the bereavement list, so Farrell said the Red Sox will simply play one man short Sunday night and for the first few innings Monday night.Save perhaps for New York Yankees rookie phenom Gary Sanchez, there isnt a hotter hitter in baseball than Pedroia, who had his streak of 11 consecutive at-bats with a hit snapped in the eighth inning of Saturday nights 8-3 victory over the Royals (the major league record is 12). Pedroia also had reached base safely in 12 straight plate appearances and raised his batting average to .320, second in the American League behind Houstons Jose Altuve entering play Sunday.Pedroias surge coincides with his move into the leadoff spot. Hes 33-for-72 (.458) with four walks and a .481 on-base percentage since the shift from his usual No. 2 spot to the top of the order, a move designed to get Mookie Betts into a run-producing, middle-of-the-order position behind fellow MVP candidate David Ortiz.In Pedroias absence, utility man Brock Holt will start at second base Sunday night.Black Vapormax Womens Uk .

Dallas hasnt ruled out the star quarterback for Sunday nights game against Philadelphia, but all signs point to Romos back injury pushing Kyle Orton into the starting role after two years of limited play as the backup. Surely Ortons name isnt the first that comes to mind for fans wanting a change after years of damaging interceptions, fumbles or, most infamously, the field goal flub when Romo dropped the snap on a kick that could have won his first playoff game in 2006.Schedule strength is a key factor in the annual committee selection process for the College Football Playoff.But how much of a difference is there in strength of schedule among the best teams in the best conferences?Plenty, it turns out.
