TORONTO -- Linsanity is beginning to make the New York Knicks feel right at home, even when they are on the road. Preston Brown Bills Jersey . And Jeremy Lin has been doing whatever it takes to keep it that way. It starts during the pre-game introductions. He gets a loud cheer, as he did before Tuesdays game against the Toronto Raptors. And he knows how to finish off a game, like his electric three-pointer in the 90-87 win. "Its nice, its Linsanity," Knicks shooting guard Landry Fields said after the team had won its sixth in a row, which coincided with Lin taking over at point guard. "It not only has brought us together closer as a team closer but you see whats going on in other arenas. He gets introduced at away games and the crowd goes nuts. Its almost like a home game for us. If we keep that up with the home court advantage that will be great." The atmosphere was about as close to the playoffs as the Raptors are likely to have this season, with the game sold out at Air Canada Centre. The media contingent was playoff sized with about 75 more credentials given out than at a normal game. That included more than 25 Chinese journalists from the Toronto area. Raptors officials had to turn down requests from journalists to cover a morning availability with Lin to prevent overcrowding. The crowds reaction to Lin varied from boos when he didnt generate offence early in the game or was prone to turnovers -- five in the first half alone and eight for the game -- to cheers when he did score. There were a few T-shirts with Linsanity and No. 17 on the back. But there were also pockets of Knicks fans who cheered loudly no matter who scored for New York and they were jumping up in celebration when the Knicks surged late. "Its the greatest story in sports right now," forward Jared Jeffries said. "And with it being the greatest story in sports, people are going to want to see it. I dont know a lot of other people that can handle this the way he has. Every game he comes out he gets." Almost overlooked in the hype was the return of Knicks power forward Amare Stoudemire, who scored 21 points. He had not played since Feb. 4 after the death of his older brother, Hazell, in Florida. Stoudemire was as impressed with Lin as anyone else. "Its pretty amazing what hes doing," Stoudemire said. "I cant really explain it, hes doing a phenomenal job out there on the basketball court, hes very poised. He reminds me a lot of Steve (Nash) and how Steve plays. Its been fun to watch him and fun to be a part of it." The feeling is that Lin will help Stoudemire because of his skill in working the pick-and-roll, and there were signs of that as the game progressed. It was just last week the 23-year-old Harvard grad came off the bench to lead the Knicks to five consecutive victories in his debut as a starter. "I think this is a miracle from God, the way I would describe it, just because obviously, I dont think anybody expected this to happen the way it happened," Lin said. A day earlier, the NBAs first American-born player of Chinese or Taiwanese heritage was named Eastern Conference player of the week after averaging 27.3 points and 8.3 assists in his first four starts. His sudden arrival in the spotlight comes after he went undrafted, worked out for but was passed over by several teams including the Raptors, then was cut by Golden State and Houston. Now Lin is getting all the spotlight he could ever hope for. "Are we in the playoffs now?" Knicks coach Mike DAntoni said after he entered the packed room for the media conference Tuesday morning. DAntoni -- whose search for a point guard had been frustrated by injury and poor performance -- called Lins story, dubbed "Linderella," a great one for the game. Lin, who is due to make US$789,000 this season, was a hot ticket Saturday in Minnesota as the Timberwolves drew their largest crowd since 2004. Not only does he show skill in creating plays, his tough side was evident against the Raptors when he took some hard fouls. "Hes resilient," Jeffries said. "No matter how hard he gets hit, no matter what goes on, he keeps coming, hes keeps playing, thats what makes him the player he is. He thinks the game through. He has great basketball feel."authenticbillsshop.com/Cyrus-Kouandjio-Bills-Jersey .

The former New York Jets quarterback was in the trainers room on Sept. 11, 2001, and had trouble making sense of the gaping, smoke-spewing hole in one of the Twin Towers.JUPITER, Fla. -- Cardinals pitcher Jaime Garcia will return to St. Louis on Sunday to have doctors examine his surgically repaired throwing shoulder, making it unlikely hell be ready for the start of the season. Cardinals general manager John Mozeliak made the announcement on Saturday before a short workout. Garcia underwent season-ending surgery last year after experiencing shoulder pain. Garcias throwing sessions at spring training had been going well until his last outing, when the pain returned. "He just hadnt quite felt right for the last 48 hours," Mozeliak said. "From a medical standpoint, no one thought it was that serious. But it wasnt improving and given how early it is in camp, theres no reason to try to work through something if it might be something larger. We think it is better to get some resolution and have him seen back in St. Louis." The 27-year-old Garcia had been the favourite to become the fifth starter, and lone lefthander, in the rotation. He was 5-2 with a 3.58 ERA last season and won a career-high 13 gamess in 2010 and 2011.Preston Brown Womens Jersey. Mozeliak didnt want to speculate on the severity of Garcias injury, but said its "probably unlikely" hell be ready for opening day. He added that some soreness following shoulder surgery is not uncommon. "Any time a pitcher that has thrown as much as he has experiences shoulder pain, goes in and gets a cleanup, its not too hard to imagine that there could be still an uphill battle," Mozeliak said. Garcia had been scheduled to throw a bullpen session on Saturday, but the soreness cancelled those plans. Mozeliak said he expects to know more about Garcias status on Monday. Without Garcia, Carlos Martinez and Joe Kelly, both righthanders, become the likely pitchers to fill the void. The Cardinals could turn to Tyler Lyons should they desire a lefthanded starter. "I dont think its any secret to anybody that having that solid lefthander seems to add a different component to an offence that might be locked in against some righties," Cardinals manager Mike Matheny said.
