THE MORNING BREW Fans anticipate Derrick Rose comeback
As we approach the 2013-2014 NBA season, there are two stories that plague sports headlines across the nation: Will the Heat be able to three-peat, and what will be the outcome of former MVP Derrick Rose's return?
It has been almost a year and a half since the superstar point guard tore his ACL in the first game of the 2012 playoffs against the 76ers. A few weeks later, LeBron James and company raised the championship trophy, leaving a gaping hole in the hearts of Chicago fans and Rose himself.
Fast forward to the 2013 offseason. Rose's return for the season opener against Miami is certain, but will he be able to reach the level of intensity he once had? Ask Rose this question and he will answer with a definite yes.
erod. No "ifs" "ands" or "buts" about it.
He will enter the school with a higher
shooting range and ten pounds of added muscle. His vigorous summer workouts have made him stronger and quicker than ever before, and he's stated that he is more explosive to the rim without those old nagging injuries.
Forget making a slow and steady comeback. Rose has only one goal for this year: winning a championship.
Some may think this goal is little far-
fetched for a guy who hasn't played a single second in the NBA in over a year. Those people would be wrong. This is a man who stood in front of the media and told the world he would be the league's MVP. A few months later, Rose spoke to the media again, this time giving his 2010 Most Valuable Player acceptance speech.
He is one of the most self-driven athletes in the world and will stop at nothing to prove himself as the best.
That is what is so soothing to fans about his confidence. We have seen what happens when Rose has the fire in his eye, and boy, is it scary.
But even with Rose's high expectations, the fans of Chicago will still be worrying. The sight of their hero clutching his knee in agonizing pain is forever engrained in their
hold their breath in concern. NBA players and fans all over the country will be keeping a close eye on Rose's long-awaited return. After all, everybody loves a great comeback, unless you are on the opposing team.

The Orioles also lost All-Star third baseman Manny Machado to a leg injury in the top of the seventh.
ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. — Wil Myers tied it with a two-run single on a jarring play in the seventh inning then pinch-hitter James Loney stunned the Orioles with a leadoff homer in the ninth, and the Tampa Bay Rays completed a four-game sweep that put a serious damper in Baltimore's wild-card hopes with a 5-4 victory Monday.
The win pushed the Rays a full game ahead of idle Cleveland for the top AL wild card. Baltimore

fell five games back of the Indians with six games to go for both teams.
With the bases loaded, two outs and trailing 4-2 in the seventh, Myers, a rookie, sent a flare behind second base. Second baseman Alexi Casilla, who entered the game in the eighth, made a fully extended diving catch but he collided with Nick Markakis, racing in toward the ball from right field. The ball came loose and two runs scored.
Casilla was shaken up on the play, but remained in the game. However, he left one inning later.
Hitting for Sean Rodriguez, Loney lined an 0-1 pitch from Tommy Hunter (6-5) down the right field line.
Chris Davis hit his major league-
best 52nd homer for Baltimore.
Joel Peralta (3-8) pitched a perfect ninth for the Rays, who have
won nine of 12.
After Matt Wieters was thrown out attempting to stretch a leadoff double into a triple in the eighth. Nate McLouth turned a bunt to the first base side off reliever Jamey Wright into a double. Wright worked out of the jam by retiring the next two batters.
Machado singled for the Orioles' first hit leading off the fourth and Davis followed with his two-run shot off Chris Archer as part of a three-run inning that put Balti- more ahead 3-1. J.J. Hardy had an RBI single.
Going back to the final 11 innings of the Orioles' 5-4, 18-inning loss to the Rays Friday night, Baltimore had just two runs and 10 hits over 32 innings before getting the three

runs on four hits in the fourth. The fourth inning ended when Ryan Flaherty was retired on a strange strikeout with two on. He swung and missed a two-strike pitch that ended up hitting him in the leg.
Jose Molina got the Rays to 3-2 on an RBI double in the bottom of the fourth.
Brian Roberts gave Baltimore a 4-2 lead on a fifth-inning homer.
Tim Beckham, taken first overall in the 2008 draft, put the Rays up 1-0 on a sacrifice fly in the second. It was the rookie's first major league RBI.
Archer gave up four runs and five hits in 4 1-3 innings. Baltimore left-hander Wei-Yin Chen also went 4 1-3 innings, allowing two runs and six hits.
