Bayern Trupp » holds the record for postseason

It was a night to remember in St. Paul. The Winnipeg Goldeyes set two franchise records, and the Saints — along with their fans — said goodbye to their 22-year home in fashion. The Goldeyes (61-35) were able to better the St. Paul Saints (48-47) by a score off 4-3 in front of a record crowd of 9,455 fans at Midway Stadium. The win was record setting 61st on the season for the Fish, bettering their 2011 mark of 60. The win also broke the Goldeyes record for road wins in a season, with 33. There wasnt an empty seat in the house, as the two teams took to the field for the final game ever at Midway Stadium. A game which was highlighted by some great baseball, but also by fun in-game contests, an on-field post game party, and an appearance by Saints part owner Bill Murray — who even greeted fans as they entered the park one last time. The Saints for the second night in a row, jumped out to an early lead in the first inning. After their lead-off batter Mitch Elliott got on base on a single, Willie Cabrera drove him in on a two-run homer. Saints starting pitcher Anthony Claggett had the Goldeyes number through the first third of the game. He set all nine batters down in order to remain perfect through three. In the fourth though, Tyler Kuhn would get on base on a single and then would be driven in three batters later by Casey Haerther on a sac fly. The run pulled the Goldeyes within one of the home team. In the bottom of the same inning the Saints would reestablish their two run lead on a sac fly of their own. The score at the halfway point was 3-1 for St. Paul. Both teams would then remain quiet through the fifth and sixth innings, but in the seventh Josh Mazzola hit his second multi-run homer in as many nights. After Reggie Abercrombie and Donnie Webb got on base, Mazzola stepped to the plate and hit the three-run home run over the left-centre field fence that would put the Goldeyes up for the first time in the game. The eighth and ninth innings were highlighted by great pitching from both teams relievers. Including a team high 17th save for Chris Kissock, who struck out Elliott for the final out of the night. Goldeyes starter Nick Hernandez earned his league leading 12th win of the season. He was able to strikeout four and only gave up two earned runs over 6 2/3 innings of work. Claggett was charged with the loss despite his impressive start to the game. The Goldeyes return home tomorrow, and will open up their final series of the regular season tomorrow night at Shaw Park.

They own a share of the short-term success mark in Super Bowls: three in a four-year span. Theyve been back twice since their previous championship victory and failed to add to their collection.Should they lose to Seattle next Sunday, they will become three-time losers, too. Those with short memories could begin wondering where that winning touch went?Then again, a win at University of Phoenix Stadium will tie Tom Brady with the likes of two more Hall of Famers, Joe Montana and Terry Bradshaw, for Super victories. It would lift Bill Belichick onto the same level as Chuck Noll, the only coaches with four Super Bowl rings.But the other side of the ledger cant be ignored: Despite their amazing run of success in their division — the admittedly mediocre AFC East — the Patriots have gone a full decade between titles.I would say the excitement is high, but its also more focused, says receiver Julian Edelman, who was on the squad that lost to the Giants three years ago.You have guys that have been to this game, guys that havent been to this game. You have guys that won the game; you have guys that havent won the game when theyve been there. Everyone is kind of just focused and trying to get ready to prepare for this team. Were playing the champs.They used to be the champs, but since beating Philadelphia in Jacksonville for the 2004 NFL crown, the Patriots have seen the Giants grab the Lombardi Trophy twice against them; seen Pittsburgh also win it two times; seen Baltimore, Green Bay, Indianapolis, New Orleans, and Seattle conclude their seasons with a championship. What has happened for New England, other than dozens of wins except for one in the big game?Many factors have contributed to the streak the Patriots can end next weekend:—Slippage on defence.Yes, Belichick earned his stripes as a defensive mastermind, but ever since Brady matured into a dominant passer, New England has been an offensive team. Thats been important to remain a contender as the NFL has evolved into a high-scoring league. But in the biggest matchups, often against other potent attacks, the Patriots defence has been lacking. They havent had a true stud pass rusher or a star defensive back ((until signing Darrelle Revis this season), and theyve also had some unfortunate injuries, particularly to linebacker Jerod Mayo.dddddddddddd—Unbalanced offence.Belichick has been willing to make do with inconsistent running backs or retreads, and he also has soured on some of them, especially if they cant hold onto the football. That disorder in the backfield has put more pressure on Brady and the passing game. Fortunately for New England, Brady is an all-time great.But the changing cast behind him can be disruptive.Of course, since that most recent Super Bowl win, hes had the likes of Randy Moss, Wes Welker, Rob Gronkowski and Edelman to throw to. Any QB would like that group.Yet opponents have found in the playoffs that they rarely will be beaten by the Patriots run game, so they have loaded up on the pass rush, on coverage, and on making Brady uncomfortable.—No fear.The opposition, especially when the Patriots were winning their past two titles, often reacted to what New England was doing instead of emphasizing their own strengths. That changed altogether in the 2008 Super Bowl, when the Giants unleashed monstrous pressure on Brady, didnt make mistakes on either side of the ball, and shattered the Patriots chase of perfection.Pretty much the same thing has occurred in every post-season since, including after the 2011 schedule when the Giants beat them again for the prize. Think of how Baltimore and the Jets strutted their stuff in post-season matchups at Gillette Stadium.—Coaching.Say what? Belichick holds the record for postseason victories with 21, surpassing Tom Landry last week. But twice he was outmanoeuvred in Super Bowls by Tom Coughlin and his defensive co-ordinators. And two other times, John Harbaugh made many more correct moves in a playoff matchup.It would be foolish to think that Belichick no longer can handle the sharpest spotlight — which he ignores anyway. So it will be one of the most intriguing story lines of this Super Bowl to see how the chess match goes against Pete Carroll, perhaps the finest coach Belichick will have faced at this juncture.It would also be ill-advised to play up the recent post-season shortcomings and ignore the earlier successes. Still, should they lose, lots of people could wind up judging the Patriots more on what has happened in the past decade than what occurred in those glorious early seasons of Brady/Belichick.___AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and http://twitter.com/AP_NFL ' ' '
