The Winnipeg Blue Bombers have agreed to terms with offensive lineman Bobby Singh, signing the former B. Jason Pierre-Paul Super Bowl Jersey.C. Lion to a one year contract. Singh will help with depth on the Bombers battered offensive line which recently lost the services of veteran lineman Matt Sheridan due to season-ending shoulder surgery. Singh, a Richmond, B.C., native joined the Lions as a free agent in 2004 and dressed for 76 games over three seasons. He was released by the club last season before signing with the Stampeders the following week, the team that drafted him in the 1999 Canadian College Draft. The six-year CFL veteran was released by Calgary prior to the start of this season. Osi Umenyiora Authentic Jersey.

CC Sabathia is settling for every time he takes the mound. Together, theyve got the New York Yankees within one win of a long-awaited return to the World Series. Rodriguez homered in the third straight game of his outstanding post-season, Sabathia pitched eight resilient innings of five-hit ball on short rest, and the Yankees beat the Los Angeles Angels 10-1 Tuesday night to take a 3-1 lead in the AL championship series. Rodriguez had three hits and scored three runs, while Melky Cabrera drove in four runs for the Yankees, who have built a commanding cushion in this once-wild series with power and pitching from their big-name, big-money stars. "Its the best Ive felt all year, no doubt," said Rodriguez, who is 6-for-16 with three homers and five RBIs in the ALCS. "I certainly feel free and liberated. Its the happiest Ive been in a long time." Johnny Damon added a late two-run homer for the Yankees, who could sew up their first trip to the World Series in six years with a win in Game 5 on Thursday night at Angel Stadium. New Yorks A.J. Burnett faces Angels ace John Lackey. One day after the Angels handed New York its first playoff loss in an extra-inning thriller, the Yankees calmly asserted control with two early rallies before piling on five runs late -- all backed by Sabathias steady work on three days rest for his second win of the series. "This teams good. We have great players, Hall of Fame players," said Sabathia, who has won three of the Yankees seven playoff games. "Weve got all the confidence in the world." With a two-run homer over the left-field fence that silenced an excited Anaheim crowd in the fifth, Rodriguez drove in a run in his eighth straight post-season game, tying the major league record. It was his fifth homer in New Yorks seven post-season games, matching Reggie Jacksons iconic 1977 effort for the second-most homers in a single playoff year for the Yankees. Bernie Williams holds the New York record with six homers in 1996, but that mark seems ripe to be toppled by A-Rod in the first phenomenal post-season for a superstar who mostly sputtered in October until now. Rodriguez also singled and scored New Yorks first run in the fourth, and he doubled and scored on an error in the ninth to cap his do-it-all day. After playing 24 innings over 9 1/2 hours and making a coast-to-coast flight over the previous three days, both teams needed a no-nonsense victory. Sabathia came through for the Yankees, providing rest for New Yorks taxed bullpen while further frustrating Los Angeles lineup, which is foundering in the playoffs after an outstanding regular season. "I didnt feel any different at all," Sabathia said about his quick turnaround. "I felt good, actually." The Yankees US$161-million left-hander yielded two walks and struck out five, throwing 101 pitches. After he retired Torii Hunter on a weak grounder to end the eighth, thousands of fans stood up and left Angel Stadium, not sticking around for the final demise of their suddenly punchless club. Kendry Morales homered for the Anngels, whose bats have been mostly awful in the ALCS. New York Giants Super Bowl Jersey The club that had nine .300 hitters in its lineup in mid-August is batting .201 in the series, and the Angels managed just one extra-base hit in Game 4. Newcomer Scott Kazmir also crumbled in his second straight post-season start for the Angels, allowing six hits and four walks while barely making it through four innings. After holding the Angels to four hits over eight innings in Game 1, Sabathia pitched on three days rest for the first time this season -- but the workhorse starter is no stranger to extra assignments. He pitched very well on short rest four times for Milwaukee last season while carrying the Brewers into the playoffs, though he struggled once he got there. Although Yankees manager Joe Girardi knew Sabathia might not have his best fastball or control on short rest, he chose Sabathia over inexperienced Chad Gaudin or struggling Joba Chamberlain. Sabathia also would be in position to pitch Game 7 on four days rest if necessary -- but unless the Angels awaken, its more likely hell be fresh for the World Series opener next Wednesday at Yankee Stadium. New York took the series first two games at home, including a 13-inning thriller in Game 2. Los Angeles won 5-4 in 11 innings in Game 3, overcoming a three-run deficit and blowing a late lead before Jeff Mathis winning RBI double. In Game 4, the Yankees finally ended a team-wide slump with runners in scoring position with Cabreras fourth-inning single, which highlighted a three-run burst that began with Rodriguezs slide home under a tag -- and which would have been even bigger if Nick Swisher hadnt been called out on appeal for leaving third base too early to tag up on Damons fly. Cabreras two-run single ended a 3-for-35 skid for New York with runners in scoring position. He later added a two-run double in the ninth. After Rodriguez homered on reliever Jason Bulgers second pitch in the fifth, New York again stranded two runners -- but Sabathia already had everything he needed. Kazmir was a strong playoff performer for Tampa Bay last year with a track record of success against the Yankees, and he excelled for Los Angeles down the stretch this season after his arrival from the Rays. But he struggled in his first post-season start for the Angels in Game 3 of the division series in Boston, and he yielded six hits and four walks in Game 4 of the ALCS. Working incredibly slowly, the left-hander allowed the Yankees first three leadoff hitters to reach base, but kept New York scoreless until the fourth, when Rodriguez led off with a single. After Jorge Posada laced a double just inside the left-field line, Robinson Cano grounded to second with one out, but Rodriguez slid in underneath Howie Kendricks high throw to the plate. Kazmir was chased by slumping Mark Teixeiras leadoff single in the fifth. Morales was 3-for-24 in the post-season until his drive to centre in the fifth. NOTES: The Yankees already announced plans earlier in the day to put some World Series tickets on sale online Wednesday. ... Kazmir appeared to pick Swisher off second base moments after Cabreras RBI single, but umpire Dale Scott ruled him safe ' ' '
