TORONTO -- David Ortiz is ready to sprint through the finish line.After mostly sitting on the bench during the Boston Red Soxs three-game interleague series in San Diego earlier this week, Ortiz said he feels refreshed for a 23-game stretch run that began with Friday nights 13-3 win over Toronto and might very well lead to one final postseason appearance for him in what he says will be his final season.I feel good right now. Im feeling good, said Ortiz, who at 40 has dealt with persistent soreness in his feet and heels throughout a farewell season in which he has been historically successful. Im not going to lie -- those days in San Diego, not playing makes your body feel good. They mess with your timing a little bit, but I was swinging in the cage just now, and Im feeling good. It feels good.Ortiz was back in his usual No. 3 spot in the Red Soxs batting order and went 2-for-5 with a double and a run scored against the Blue Jays, who?with Fridays loss fell to two games behind Boston in a mad scramble for the American League East crown. The Baltimore Orioles were only two games off the pace, and the surging New York Yankees were four games back.All of the Red Soxs remaining games are against AL East opponents, including five more against the Blue Jays.Its going to be a good series, Ortiz said. Both teams are competing for first place in the division with pretty much three weeks left. You want to make sure you end up in first place so you dont end up playing in that one [wild-card] playoff game and can play a three-out-of-five series.On the occasion of his last regular-season trip to Toronto, Ortiz was asked a familiar question: Is he having any second thoughts about retirement at a time when hes batting .319 with 31 homers, 107 RBIs and an MLB-leading 1.030 OPS? He gave perhaps his most definitive answer yet that hes ready to step aside.Ive been so busy this year that I cant wait, Ortiz said. I have been on since day one, doing things here and there, which is fine. I really appreciate the fact that people have been showing so much love and respect for what I do. I have been super busy, and at some point you want a break. My whole focus right now is going to the playoffs.Ortiz received two custom Canada Goose jackets as a gift from the Blue Jays, who also made a far more meaningful $10,000 donation to his charitable foundation to help in the fight against pediatric cancer.T.J.

LOUIS -- Mike Smith is used to facing plenty of shots, so this was nothing new.Cronulla skipper Paul Gallen and front-rower Sam Tagataese are all but certain to return from injury when the Sharks play in a fortnight for a spot in this years NRL grand final.Cronulla earned a week off after stealing a 16-14 comeback win over Canberra on Saturday night in a memorable qualifying final, giving extra time for the key pair to return.Gallen didnt even arrive in the nations capital after hurting his back during training midweek, opting to stay in the Shire as his teammates upset the Raiders on their home turf.Its one of those disc problems that came during the week, Sharks coach Shane Flanagan said of Gallen.He felt it after he had lunch after a gym session and just progressively got worse during the week. We tried to push him but it just needs time to settle and, once it settles, itll be okay, touch wood.Tagataese hasnt played since injuring his back in round 22, and his absence has been missed in a forward pack who have struggled to match it with some of the bigger forwards in the competition.Star forward Andrew Fifita led the Sharks middle in Gallens abbsence, racking up a game-high 216 metres, six offloads and four tackle breaks.ddddddddddddut stand-in skipper Michael Ennis praised unheralded forwards Matt Prior and late call-up Kurt Capewell for their contributions against the Raiders, including Priors game-changing try late in the first half.His form throughout the year has been exceptional, Ennis said.Theres some good forwards with great reputations in Gallen, Fifita, Graham and (Luke) Lewis, and a lot of his stuff goes unnoticed.But tonight, his contribution, for a front-rower to be able to change the momentum of the game at 38 minutes ... its as good as Ive seen from a front-rower tonight. He was outstanding.Flanagan said Capewell would be hard to leave off the team sheet for their grand-final qualifier.He looked at home there on a big occasion. Hes bided his time in our NSW Cup side and deserves his chance. Its going to be hard not to put him in the team when we play again, he said. ' ' '
