Orlando, FL - The Orlando Magic have signed guard Ben Gordon. Terms of the contract were not disclosed. Gordon was released by Charlotte in March after playing just 19 games for the club last season. He averaged only 5.2 points after a productive first season in Charlotte that featured 11.2 points in 75 games off the bench. The 31-year-old Connecticut product has averaged 15.6 points, 2.6 rebounds and 2.6 assists in 688 NBA games over 10 seasons with Charlotte, Detroit and Chicago. "Ben brings valuable experience to our team," said Magic general manager Rob Hennigan in a statement Friday. "His competitiveness and ability to score and stretch the floor adds versatility to our backcourt and overall roster. We are excited to welcome Ben to the Orlando Magic family." Gordon was selected by the Bulls with the third overall pick of the 2004 NBA Draft. He was the leagues top sixth man during his rookie season in Chicago. Air Force 1 Nz Cheap Outlet .

Air Force 1 Nz Sale . -- The Atlanta Braves are facing the possibility of losing another pitcher for the season after general manager Frank Wren said Saturday that Cory Gearrin has a serious injury to his right elbow.DENVER -- Clayton Kershaw and a few of his teammates gathered on the couch, eyes glued to the flat-screen TV. They were rooting on Arizona against rival San Francisco. No such luck, though. The Giants won and the NL West race just got a lot tighter. Nothing went right for the Los Angeles Dodgers on Wednesday. Justin Morneau tied a season high with six RBIs, including five as part of an eight-run first inning against spot starter Carlos Frias, and the Colorado Rockies routed the Dodgers 16-2. Los Angeles now leads the Giants by two games in the division. Frias (0-1) gave up 10 hits, including seven straight to start the game, and eight runs before being pulled after recording only two outs. According to information provided to the teams by the Elias Sports Bureau, hes the first pitcher in the modern era to allow 10 hits while getting less than three outs. Still, manager Don Mattingly is contemplating bringing Frias back for another turn in the rotation. He doesnt have many options if the sore left shoulder of Hyun-Jin Ryu isnt better by next week. Ryu will test it out later this week in Chicago. "You only have X amount of starters for that spot," Mattingly said. "You choose whats best for that spot and you move on." The harder Frias seemed to throw, the harder the Rockies seemed to hit the baseball. "It was a bad day," Frias said through a translator. "Cant really chalk it up to anything other than a bad day. "All I can do is put it behind me and look forward to the next outing." Morneau hit a three-run homer and a two-run single in the opening frame as the Rockies chased Frias after just two outs. Morneau and Carlos Gonzalez are the only Rockies players to drive in five runs in an inning. "You play this game a long time you see some things youve never seen," Morneau said. "Obviously, having guys on base is important. You wouldnt expect us to come out against a guy like that whos got really good stuff. He was a guy we were ready for and we were able to get some hits." Charlie Blackmon went 5 for 5 with a solo homer as the Rockies took two of three from the Dodgers, who trailed 15-0 after six innings against the tteam with the worst record in the league.dddddddddddd Morneau had three hits and a sacrifice fly, raising his average to .320 and leaping over Pittsburghs Josh Harrison for the NL batting lead. Jorge De La Rosa (14-11) gave up two hits in six scoreless innings to improve to 10-2 at home this season. "Youve seen some strange things in this park," Rockies manager Walt Weiss said. "Theres a lot of game left and Jorge did a good job of keeping them down." The hard-throwing Frias didnt record a traditional out, either, in his 38-pitch appearance. He got one when catcher Tim Federowicz threw out Corey Dickerson on a steal attempt and another when Wilin Rosario tried to score from third on a squeeze play. "Its almost like everything you call gets hit," Federowicz said. "Just one of those things." This hardly looked like the same Dodgers team that was coming off a big series win in San Francisco that included a 17-0 romp over the Giants. Los Angeles is chasing Washington for the best record in the NL. The Dodgers needed an eight-run sixth inning to get by the Rockies on Monday, and then stranded runner after runner Tuesday in a 10-4 loss. Once the Rockies roughed up Frias, Mattingly steadily began taking out his position players as the Rockies set a season high for runs. "I was just getting guys off their feet," Mattingly said.
