Socceroos left-back Alex Gersbach is reportedly being watched by Italian powerhouse Juventus on the back of a successful first season in Norway.The 19-year-old only made the move from Sydney FC to Rosenborg in January but an even bigger opportunity could beckon.Juventus CEO Giuseppe Marotta and sporting director Fabio Paratici have tracked Gersbachs progress for several weeks, according to calciomercato.com.The website claimed the Serie A champions are not the only European club on Gersbachs trail, with Juventus impressed by his versatility down the left flank and increasingly keen on making a formal bid.Gersbach made 26 appearances across all competitions this season as Rosenborg claimed the Norwegian league and cup double for an unprecedented second season in a row.He also made his international debut for Australia in June and has since become a regular selection under coach Ange Postecoglou.No Australian has ever played a senior fixture for Juventus, although three - James Troisi, Jess Vanstrattan and Max Vieri - have been contracted to the club.Fake Jordan 1 White .

That was still to be determined by games elsewhere, as was whether Cleveland would need to make up a rained out game in Detroit on Monday.Well, Francona said with a grin and a shrug, were either going to shower and go home or shower and go to Detroit. Either way, Im showering.Suds up that loofah, Tito. Youre heading home.The Tigers loss to the Braves coupled with Bostons loss to the Blue Jays gave Cleveland (94-67) homefield advantage in the divisional round.

Our guys never did that.Not even in their regular-season finale.Josh Tomlin (13-9) dueled with the Royals Ian Kennedy (11-11) into the eighth before finally pulling ahead.

We knew we put ourselves in good position.It was a frustrating finale to an injury plagued season for the Royals, who had been to the past two World Series and were coming off their first championship since 1985. A dismal July nearly buried them, an inspired August got them back into contention, and a stumbling finish left them at 81-81.It was their first non-winning season in four years.We were just one win away from having a winning season. We had four cracks at it at the end of the yeear and just couldnt get it, Royals manager Ned Yost said.dddddddddddd Offensively, we just couldnt do it.Meanwhile, there were so many playoff permutations riding on the final day of the regular season that Francona was still trying to sort everything out 3 hours before first pitch.The only thing he knew was his club was playing Boston on Thursday -- somewhere.They fell into a 1-0 hole when Jarrod Dyson and Whit Merrifield opened the game with doubles off Tomlin, the expected Game 3 starter in the divisional series, but the lead didnt even last the two innings.The Indians answered in the third when Tyler Naquin was plunked by a pitch from Ian Kennedy, and Yan Gomes went deep to left field on the first big league pitch hed seen since July 17.Kansas City tied it up when Cheslor Cuthbert homered leading off the fifth inning, but the Indians were able to coax across one more run to once more beat a team theyve dominated this season.One mistake, I gave up a home run and it kind of cost me, Kennedy said.
