NEW YORK -- At this years U.S. Open, the fashions so bright, you gotta wear shades.Ultra-bright, neon hues of yellow, pink and orange are exploding all over the courts at Flushing Meadows, with players decked out in outfits down to the socks and shoelaces that make a screaming, flashbulb-like assault on the rods and cones. Think a desk full of highlighter pens, only brighter.Its a very cool outfit, said American player Jack Sock, who took the court Wednesday with an all-fluorescent yellow kit, socks and all. Maybe because its New York City, theres that electric feeling and a lot of buzz, excitement, anticipation. ... Loud audiences and loud matches go along with the loud outfits.The neon trend has been building for years and harkens back to the 1990s, when players such as Andre Agassi in his long-hair days struck a rebellious pose. Nike, in particular, is taking it mainstream this year, with well over a dozen players in the mens and womens draws decked out from head to toe in bright yellow, with black and pink accents that only serve to make the color seem brighter. Rafael Nadal stands apart from his Nike comrades in a relatively staid black outfit, but the soles of his feet are festooned in ultra-bright yellow.The color was so ubiquitous that several times in the early rounds, competing players battled it out in the same, official all-yellow Nike line, which the company says takes its cues from the bright lights of New York City ... bright color spectrums mimic the chromatic shift of neon lights.Is all attention good attention or does it go too far?When 2009 champion Juan Martin del Potro strode on court for his opening match in gleaming yellow shirt, shorts, socks, shoes and headband, one Twitter commenter struck a familiar snarky tone: Be one with the tennis ball. Literally turn into one. Another feed, Vamos Delpo Fans, tweeted simply : Daaaang Nike thats yellow.Judy Murray, mother of No. 2-seed Andy Murray, tweeted on the stylings of a fellow British player: Has someone attacked Kyle Edmund with a highlighter pen?Sock may have gotten the better of his opponent Mischa Zverev on the court, but the German more than held his own on the loud scale, with an Adidas ensemble of shocking pink hat, pink and yellow shirt, pink shorts and pink shoes. Zverev even set off the outfit, intentionally or not, with neon yellow tennis strings.Asked about his neon pink New Balance shoes, which stood out in an otherwise conservative kit of white and black, Canadian Milos Raonic was resigned to go with the fashion flow.The color is very pink and loud, but I like the outfit, Raonic said. I like the sort of disconnectedness -- that thats sort of the focal point.

It may already be too late.Ryan Vogelsong pitched four shaky innings in Pittsburghs 8-0 loss to Cincinnati on Sunday, closing a disappointing four-game set against the last-place Reds. The Pirates have dropped 11 of 13 overall to fall off the pace in the NL wild-card race.After Cincinnati got to Vogelsong (3-5) for five runs in the second on its way to a big lead, Pirates manager Clint Hurdle emptied his extensive bench, giving playing time to some younger and little-used players. But Hurdle insisted he isnt throwing in the towel.Not yet. Not for me, he said. My vision is to get us playing better. Thats my thought. Im not going to walk out of here with anything other than knowing I have a job to do. Negative emotions, I dont carry them at all. Frustration isnt going to help me do what I need to do to get those men motivated and continue to play. Discouragement, Im not going to go there. I dont go there. We needed to play better. We didnt. How do we play better? Thats where my focus is.After opening the series with a 4-1 win on Thursday night, the Pirates dropped the last three games. Left fielder Gregory Polanco was ejected by umpire Pat Hoberg for arguing balls and strikes in the third inning of the finale. It was Polancos first career ejection.Cincinnati left-hander Brandon Finnegan (9-10) struck out seven in five innings, but allowed five hits and walked five.The seven strikeouts played for him, Hurdle said. It got him out of the all messes. We werent able to convert in some situations that were there for us with a single, let alone a double, let alone a homer. That would have been great. Our execution in crunch time when we were trying to move or score or (get) a two-out hit has been challenging. ... We werent able to punch through and get that big hit off him.Jumbo Diaz followed Finnegan with two innings and Ross Ohlendorf and Wandy Peralta each got three outs, completing a seven-hitter.dddddddddddd. The Pirates (69-72) left 10 runners on base and went 1 for 10 with runners in scoring position.The Pirates are always good, Finnegan said. They have a good-hitting team. The Reds and Pirates dont really get along very well. But its nice beating any team, especially winning a series.Cincinnati grabbed control in the second, taking advantage of an error by center fielder Andrew McCutchen and some wildness by Vogelsong. Holt had the big blow, a two-run triple that gave the Reds a 4-0 lead. Eugenio Suarez followed with an RBI single.Vogelsong was charged with six runs and seven hits.Cincinnati (60-82) finished with 13 hits. Joey Votto, one of the hottest hitters in the majors, was the only starting position player to fail to record a hit for the Reds.TRAINING ROOMReds: Alfredo Simon will miss the rest of the year with a right shoulder injury that will require surgery. Simon went 2-7 with a 9.37 ERA this season. ... INF Jose Peraza was given the day off after being hit by a pitch in his hand Saturday.Pirates: 2B Josh Harrisons right groin injury is more than day to day and could potentially be season ending, according to general manager Neal Huntington.UP NEXTReds: Keyvius Sampson (0-1, 3.90 ERA) will move to the rotation in order for the Reds to skip the start of Anthony DeSclafani. Sampson will be making his second start in 2015 after starting 12 games in 2016.Pirates: Gerrit Cole (7-9, 3.55 ERA) is expected to return from the disabled list to start Monday at Philadelphia. Cole has been inactive since Aug. 24 with right elbow inflammation. He has made just 20 starts after pitching 32 games in 2015. ' ' '
