CHICAGO -- The Chicago White Sox will try to increase their winning streak to five games Wednesday night when they host the Tampa Bay Rays.Although the White Sox (76-81) have no chance at reaching the playoffs, a .500 finish is a remote possibility. Chicago has two games remaining against Tampa Bay before finishing the season with three games at home against the last-place Minnesota Twins.As Chicago is finishing strong, Tampa Bay (65-92) is headed in the opposite direction. After a 13-6 defeat to the White Sox on Tuesday, the Rays have lost five games in a row, nine of their past 11 and 13 of their past 19.White Sox right-hander Miguel Gonzalez (4-8, 3.98 ERA) will make his final start of the season. Gonzalez was released by the Baltimore Orioles during spring training but has found success in Chicago. In his past 12 outings, he has recorded 10 quality starts.Gonzalez credits mental toughness as the biggest reason for his recent success.I had a tough year last season toward the end with Baltimore, and then I had some injuries and wasnt feeling 100 percent, Gonzalez said. Mentally, Ive been working on that this year, and it has been helping me very much. It has shown on the field. Im going to keep working with that.We all know that baseball is very much mental. Youve got to be strong about it.Rays left-hander Blake Snell (6-8, 3.65 ERA) will take the mound against the White Sox. In his most recent outing, the 23-year-old rookie pitched five scoreless innings against the New York Yankees to earn the victory.Command issues have plagued Snell throughout the season. He has walked 50 batters to go along with 94 strikeouts in 86 1/3 innings.Several White Sox hitters are swinging hot bats and could pose a challenge for Snell. On Tuesday, Chicago battered the Rays for a season-high-tying run total.Third baseman Todd Frazier increased his hitting streak to 11 games and collected his 97th RBI of the season. Frazier is sitting on 39 home runs and hopes to notch a personal milestone by hitting No. 40 in the next five contests. His homer and RBI totals are already career highs.Chicago left fielder Melky Cabrera is hitting .327 with five home runs and 22 RBI in 25 games in September. Cabrera reached 40 doubles for the first time since 2011 and has tallied 14 home runs and 82 RBI.Even though both teams are out of contention, White Sox manager Robin Ventura said he did not want to experiment too much with his lineup.Not yet, Ventura said. There are some guys that are still looking for personal things, and you want to make sure youre respectful of that.Meanwhile, the Rays will try to find some positives in the games that remain. Left fielder Corey Dickerson is hitting .380 (27-for-71) with five home runs and 13 RBI in his past 19 games. Catcher Curt Casali also is looking to stay hot after going deep against White Sox left-hander Chris Sale for his first home run since July 30.Right-handed reliever Chase Whitley could make another appearance this season despite a heavy workload Tuesday.There is a chance, Rays manager Kevin Cash said of Whitley, who pitched 3 2/3 innings and allowed four runs (two earned). Were going to talk through some things, but theres a good chance Whitley throws again for us. Kanken Backpack Sale Yellow .

Kanken Classic Backpack Ox Red . 8 Kansas to a 64-63 win over Texas Tech on Tuesday night. The freshman from Vaughan, Ont. As an expansion club full of young and impressionable talent, Greater Western Sydney didnt want to just hire an AFL coach when Mark Williams left in 2012.The panel charged with selecting Kevin Sheedys successor wanted someone who cared.About winning a premiership, yes.But also about the welfare of a disparate group of players pulled together from around Australia, many of which were unsure whether to stay after a maiden season of lopsided losses.They settled on Leon Cameron, who famously started his interview presentation by talking values instead of tactics.Cameron possessed an innate ability to read the game in a 256-match playing career.He was also somebody at quarter-time or halftime who would say - right, this is whats going on and this is what we need to do, GWS football manager Wayne Campbell said of his former Richmond teammate.Cameron also proved to have an astute football brain as an assistant coach at Western Bulldogs and Hawthorn.But what made him stand out from other talented applicants was his caring streak.Its been a feature of Camerons approach since his coaching career started as a 31-year-old assistant to Peter Rohde at the Bulldogs some 13 years ago.He always went that extra mile for people all the time. He just had a nurturing nature, Rohde recalled to AAP.We were pretty under-resourced at the Bulldogs at that stage, so everyone had to multitask.We had a part-time welfare person who did a couple of days a week ... Leon did a lot of the welfare and development stuff with younger players. He was very good at it.GWS co-captain Callan Ward is one of many players who can vouch for that.Ward first met Cameron at Whitten Oval, when he was a 17-year-old draftee who was preparing to juggle AFL commitments with his final year of high school.Id just come to the footy club after school and deal with him - he was my line coach. I was pretty close to him back then, Ward said shortly after Camerons appointment.I always knew he was a great coach. But more importantly hes a great person and thats what we need at the footy club.Cameron, who makes a habit of taking aan interest in his charges lives away from football, spent time learning the art of coaching under Rohde and Rodney Eade at Whitten Oval then Hawthorn guru Alastair Clarkson.ddddddddddddThe Bulldogs contemplated replacing Eade with Cameron in 2011 but instead appointed Brendan McCartney.Clarkson remained a big fan of Cameron, asking him to oversee much of the Hawks 2012 pre-season. Cameron was clearly ready for the hot seat and hit a fork in the road after helping Hawthorn reach the 2012 grand final.There was the prospect of picking up the pieces at Port Adelaide after the Powers miserable year or serving as Sheedys protege at GWS.We obviously identified him as a pretty good candidate, Rohde, Ports football manager at the time, said.We interviewed him a couple of times and we were very impressed. We knew he was going to be a very good coach.The problem was so did GWS and Cameron opted to shift to Sydney instead of Adelaide.It was a great decision and a wise decision to get Leon, Sheedy said this week.Cameron quickly made a big impact.In 2013 many of the GWS youngsters to re-sign attributed their decision to the fact Cameron was taking over.Its easy to opine success was inevitable for the Giants given the various list concessions handed out by the AFL.But the sorry state of Gold Coast suggests it is somewhat more complicated. The Suns joined the competition a year earlier and are yet to go close to a maiden finals berth, let alone sit one win away from their first grand final.There are a few key differences in terms of list strategies but club culture has also been key.Gold Coast have dealt with no shortage of miscreants and misdeeds, while GWS have been relatively scandal free with the exception of allegations levelled against Lachie Whitfield and two former staffers.Cameron has clearly helped build that culture and regardless of Saturdays result his appointment shapes as one of the Giants best recruiting decisions in their short existence.
