NEW YORK -- Daniel Descalso took a calculated risk in a big spot.And it paid off big time.With his team trying to rally against Mets closer Jeurys Familia, the Rockies first baseman stepped to the plate with runners on first and second and nobody out.After fouling off his first two sacrifice attempts, he found himself in an unenviable position against the NLs save leader.Rather than swing away with two strikes, he squared to bunt again.The usually steady Familia stumbled for a second straight game, allowing two runs in the ninth inning and Colorado beat New York 2-1 Thursday for their seventh win in eight games.Less than 24 hours after Familias streak of 52 consecutive regular-season saves was snapped, the right-hander entered in the top of the ninth with a 1-0 lead, and couldnt hold it.Trevor Story had a leadoff single and stole second. After fellow rookie David Dahl walked, Descalso bunted up the first base line. Mets catcher Rene Rivera watched as the ball spun toward foul territory but it stopped fair, loading the bases with no out.I knew it had a lot of English on it and I was looking back to try to see if it was going foul and I guess it stopped right on the line, Descalso said.I didnt want to hit into a double play. Hes got a good sinker and if I put it in play good chance its going to be on the ground, so I decided to take a chance and get the bunt down 0-2.With one out, Familia (2-3) got pinch-hitter Cristhian Adames to hit a slow grounder to the right side. First baseman James Loney misplayed the ball and Story scored to make it 1-all. Familia then threw a wild pitch, allowing Dahl to cross the plate with the go-ahead run.Familia is as good as there is in the game, Rockies manager Walt Weiss said. Their staff overall, youre not going to come in here and put up big innings and big crooked numbers. Youve got to scratch and claw for everything.Dealing with a rare early start to open a series because of a camp day at Citi Field, neither offense was able to do much against starters Jacob deGrom and Tyler Anderson.DeGrom allowed only one runner to reach second base in seven scoreless innings.Rivera drove in the only Mets run in the second inning with a double into the right-center field gap, but was easily tagged out at third trying to stretch it into a triple.Anderson struck out five and walked none, allowing seven hits over six innings.The goal every time is to try to give up zero runs, Anderson said. You do realize in a game like this that if you give them up youve really got to try to limit them.Jordan Lyles (3-3) pitched a scoreless eighth for the Rockies, and closer Carlos Estevez had a perfect ninth for his 11th save.New York loaded the bases with no outs in the seventh inning off of reliever Jake McGee. Right-hander Scott Oberg came on to retire three straight batters to end the threat.Colorado had been 0-41 this season when trailing after eight innings before Thursdays win, a victory which snapped a 10-game road losing streak against the Mets.Thats one of the better wins of the year, if not the best, Weiss said. Really proud of our guys.WHO WANTS IT?Rockies catcher Tony Wolters and Descalso collided in front of home plate in the bottom of the fourth, both going after Wilmer Flores popup. The ball started in foul territory, but drifted fair. Each fielder fell to the ground after the collision, with Wolters holding on for the out. They both remained in the game.QUICK STARTDahl has hit safely in his first four games in the majors, including his first multi-hit game on Thursday.TRAINERS ROOMMets: 3B Jose Reyes missed his third straight game with a strained left ribcage, hurt during his final at-bat in the first game of a doubleheader on Tuesday. He was pretty sore last night when he left here, Mets manager Terry Collins said before the game on Thursday. I talked to the trainers before I left and they said theres just no way hes going to be able to play tomorrow. ...

Real Jordans For Cheap .com) - The Montreal Canadiens will try to halt their longest losing streak of the season when they host the struggling New York Islanders in tonights clash at the Bell Centre. ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. -- Bills safety Corey Graham was attending high school in Buffalo and has only a vague recollection of the blockbuster trade his hometown team made to acquire Drew Bledsoe from New England in April 2002.Bledsoe was the established star and expected to fill Buffalos long-term need at quarterback. Tom Brady, meanwhile, was still an emerging quantity after filling in for an injured Bledsoe and helping the Patriots win a Super Bowl that year.What amuses Graham in retrospect is being reminded of Bledsoe arriving at the Bills headquarters by police escort and greeted by thousands of fans and a marching band.Ha, ha, ha, he said. It just shows, they held a parade for Bledsoe, and look at Tom. Tom turned out to be one of the best to ever do it.Acquired for a first-round draft pick, Bledsoe lasted three seasons in Buffalo and failed to lead the team to the playoffs during whats become a 16-season playoff drought -- the leagues longest active streak.In the meantime, Tom Terrific has spent much of these past 15 seasons being the bane of the NFL, and Buffalo in particular.Brady is 25-3 overall against Buffalo, with a chance to match the NFL record for most wins by a quarterback against one opponent on Sunday, when the Patriots (6-1) play at the Bills (4-3). Brett Favre won 26 games against Detroit.Itll be Bradys first and only regular-season meeting against his AFC East rival after he sat out a 16-0 loss at Foxborough on Oct. 2 while serving his Deflategate suspension.Im back, Brady said during a conference call with Buffalo reporters.And the 39-year-old might be playing better than ever.In three wins, Brady is 76 of 101 for 1,004 yards with eight touchdowns and no interceptions.He credited the Bills for how they performed in beating a New England team with rookie Jacoby Brissett filling in quarterback. And he dismissed questions of having any added motivation to redeem the loss or bitter feelings over the suspension .You know, I dont even think about it, Brady said. Its just about doing what my job is.Bills cornerback Nickell Robey-Coleman has plenty of respect for Brady, but refuses to get caught up in the quarterbacks aura.Even though that one person is the centerpiece of the whole organization, hes still just that one person, Robey-Coleman said. I mean, Im not going to say hes God, because theres only one of those to me.A nnumber of things to watch out for as New England attempts to avoid being swept by a division rival for the first time in 15 years:BLUNTING BLOUNT: The Bills gave up 256 yards rushing to the Dolphins, including 214 alone to Jay Ajayi, in a 28-25 loss at Miami .dddddddddddd They face a Patriots run attack led by LeGarrette Blount, who had a season-best 127 yards and scored twice in a 27-16 win at Pittsburgh .Im not really worried about Blount, defensive tackle Marcell Dareus said. As long as we do our assignments, fill our gaps, feel out the plays ... he has nowhere to go, so its not a big deal.Dareus is expected to make his season debut. He missed the past three games with a hamstring injury, and sat out the first four serving a suspension.GRONK: Patriots tight end Rob Gronkowski has an opportunity to set a few franchise records in his old backyard. From Buffalo, Gronkowski is tied with Stanley Morgan for most career touchdowns receiving (67) and career TDs (68) in team history.In purchasing about 20 tickets for family and friends, he noted hes not focused on setting any records.Thats the last thing Im thinking about, Gronkowski said. When it happens, if it happens, theres another time to talk about it. But as of right now, Im just focused on the Bills.He has 47 catches for 704 yards and 10 TDs in 10 games against Buffalo.PRE-GAME FIREWORKS: An altercation erupted between players an hour before kickoff at New England when Brissett and rookie receiver Malcolm Mitchell jogged through the Bills defensive back drills.Robey-Coleman warned the Patriots from doing it again on Sunday, but doesnt expect that from Brady.Tom is a pro, he said. So Im pretty sure that hes not going to give us that ammunition.PICKOFFS: The Patriots have yet to throw an interception this season, their longest streak since an eight-game stretch in 2010. The NFL record for most games to start season without throwing interception is nine, set by Cleveland in 1960.The Bills have six interceptions, four of them in a 33-18 win over Arizona on Sept. 25. Buffalo has also forced six fumbles and turned over the ball just four times to rank tied for second with a plus-8 turnover margin.---AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and http://twitter.com/AP-NFL ' ' '
