eeeGLENDALE, Ariz. Cheap Jerseys Paypal . -- Mark Teixeiras stay with the U.S. team at the World Baseball Classic didnt last long. The Yankees slugger strained his right wrist while taking some light swings off a tee in the batting cage Tuesday, forcing him to withdraw from the tournament even before the Americans could play the Chicago White Sox in the first of their two scheduled exhibition games. Yankees general manager Brian Cashman said Tuesday night in Tampa, Fla., that Teixeira would be out a minimum of 10 days. X-rays were negative and an MRI revealed the strain, U.S. manager Joe Torre said. The Yankees said in a statement that Teixeira will be evaluated further Wednesday by team physician Dr. Christopher Ahmad and hand specialist Dr. Melvin Rosenwasser. "It wasnt something he wouldnt be doing (with the Yankees)," Torre said after the U.S. played to a 4-4 tie with the White Sox. "It was just a freak thing." Torre said that there have already been conversations about who will replace Teixeira but no decisions have been made. The U.S. opens pool play Friday night against Mexico. "Im not throwing any names out," Torre said. "We certainly are looking to fill this spot as soon as possible, so you know Ill meet with my coaches. Well try to figure it out." Torre may not have been discussing options with reporters, but he did bring up White Sox slugger Paul Konerko with his manager, Robin Ventura. Konerko went 3 for 3 and drove in a run against the U.S. team in their exhibition game at Camelback Ranch. Other names that are likely to be discussed are the Brewers Prince Fielder, the Angels Mark Trumbo, Mets first baseman Ike Davis and the Red Soxs Mike Napoli, who can catch and play first. Torre said he couldnt say when the decision will be made because there are so many moving pieces, such as whether players are interested and their situation with their teams. "Were just taking names," Torre said. "But again, Tex was a switch-hitter, which was ideal for us, and left-handed wise, we have a couple switch-hitters and (Joe) Mauer. Otherwise, were pretty lopsided right-handed. So were going to have to see whats the best bet for us." The Rays Ben Zobrist started at first base for the U.S. team on Tuesday. Mauer can also play first base, while the Diamondbacks Willie Bloomquist also has experience there. Teixeira is the latest Yankees star to be injured this spring. Curtis Granderson broke his forearm on Feb. 24, and even general manager Brian Cashman has been hurt -- he broke his fibula and dislocated his right ankle while skydiving to raise awareness for the Wounded Warriors Project. Torre said the injury to Teixeira was particularly disappointing because the Yankees star had been so excited about playing. Teixeira actually broached playing for the U.S. when he saw Torre at a fundraising dinner in New York City shortly after Hurricane Sandy. "I hadnt picked a first baseman yet and I just happened to be at a banquet with Tex," Torre said. "He mentioned the WBC and I said, Are you interested? And he said, Yeah, if you need me, Im interested. ... That was the night, basically, he knew he was coming to us." Torre, an MLB executive vice-president, said hes sensitive to the risk of injury that comes with playing in the tournament. But he also made clear that the injury happened while Teixeira was going through his normal routine, and not as he was taking part in the competition. "If they want to find something wrong, they can use that," Torre said. "I certainly feel bad for Tex, but its one of those things, it just seems like its unavoidable. ... You never want to wish a thing like this upon any player, especially here in spring training." Cheap Jerseys Wholesale .

The 28-year-old San Jose, Calif., man nicknamed "Jaws" scarfed down 68 hot dogs in 10 minutes in the sweltering summer heat to take home US$10,000 and the mustard yellow belt. He bested his main rival by 16 dogs. "I feel good, it was a great win," Chestnut said after the contest, adding he wished he could have eaten a record number of hot dogs for the audience. "I tried my best. Im looking forward to next year already." Second place went to Tim Janus of New York with 52 hot dogs, who received $5,000. Third place went to Patrick Bertoletti of Chicago with 51, who won $2,500. Chestnut was neck-and-neck with competitors during the first half of the contest, but he pulled ahead in the remaining minutes, choking down dog after dog, while other competitors slowed as the clock wound down. "Im happy to come out with the win," he said. Sonya Thomas, of Alexandria, Va., downed 45 wieners to win the womens competition. She reached her goal of eating 45 in the time limit -- her age -- and took home her own pink champions belt and $10,000. Thomas, known as the "Black Widow" of competitive eating, won last year as well, the first time a separate contest was held for women. Juliet Lee, of Germantown, Md., took second place with 33 and won $5,000. Lee also won second place last year. Third place went to Michelle Lesco, of Tuscon, Ariz., who received $2,500 for downing 25 1/2. Thomas said she started to feel sick while eating but kept pushing so she could win the title. "There is a limit so I have to fight," she said. Thomas said next year shes going to beat her record again and eat 46. Cheap NFL Jerseys. "Because Im going to be 46 next year," she said. The Nathans Famous Fourth of July International Hot Dog Eating Contest has been a city tradition for 97 years. Tens of thousands of spectators gather to gawk as contestants shimmy, slither and bounce as they dip hot dogs in water and cram them down their throats. For some, its a painful reminder of excess -- especially as the U.S. battles a growing obesity problem. The American Medical Association opposes competitive eating, saying its harmful to the human body. But the competitive eaters are quite trim. Chestnut is over six feet tall and a muscly 218 pounds, and Thomas weighed in at barely 100 pounds. Hot dogs, though, arent the healthiest of choices. In addition to beef, they include salt and various food additives. Chestnuts total dog count was equal to more than 20,000 calories. This year, the animal rights group Mercy For Animals staged a protest against eating meat, with signs that read "Choose Vegetarian." Chestnut is now tied with his former rival, Takeru Kobayashi, for consecutive wins. The slim Japanese champ held the record for hot dog eating from 2001 to 2007, when he was unseated by Chestnut. But two years ago, after refusing to sign an exclusive contract with Major League Eating, the food equivalent of the NFL, he was banned from competition. He showed up anyway, wearing a T-shirt that said "Free Kobi," rushed the stage and was arrested, but charges were later dropped. Last year, the Japanese native nicknamed the "Tsunami" held an unofficial contest from a rooftop on ritzy Fifth Avenue, eating near a giant plasma TV airing the official competition live. He was out of the public eye Wednesday. ' ' '
