RIO DE JANEIRO -- Usain Bolt has run the fastest time in the mens 100m semifinals, powering into the final in 9.86 seconds.Justin Gatlin won his semi in 9.94 seconds which will see the pair resume their tense rivalry in the final.And the near sellout crowd at the 60,000-capacity Olympic stadium immediately showed where their support would go --wildly cheering Bolt and roundly booing Gatlin.Bolt was slow out of the blocks again but powered through the midsection before easing across the line in a seasons best time of 9.86. He had time to look left and right before turning the power off, showing off the smile the world has come to love.Andre de Grasse of Canada finished in 9.92 to go through.Gatlin was all business, fast from the start and barely letting up at the finish for a time of 9.94. He immediately disappeared into the stadium tunnel after his win.Jimmy Vicaut of France won the first heat in 9.95, turning around a disappointing season with a place in the final.With his overpowering performance, Bolt is the big favorite to win his third consecutive Olympic 100 title. Gatlin won at the 2004 Athens Games.One year ago, Bolt staged a thrilling come-from-behind win over Gatlin at the Beijing world championships to capture his third world title in the 100. Sundays final will be their first meeting since over the distance.With his doping past, Gatlin has been portrayed as the villain by some in his rivalry with Bolt.It is what the crowd showed with massive decibels. As soon as Bolt came on, the cheers enveloped him and soon, just about everyone was shouting Bolt-Bolt-Bolt.Gatlin got the opposite. Even though he will never be a big crowd pleaser, such a negative reaction has been much more an exception than the rule in his career.The final will be run at 11.25 AEDT.

"Were just throwing s--- at the wall hoping something sticks," said Tortorella about the possible line combinations for Fridays game against Columbus.

Dan Quisenberry Jersey . Its an influence in football and a big part of the game. Brett Phillips Jersey .ca looks back at the stories and moments that made the year memorable. CLEVELAND -- For their next three games, American League Central Division rivals Cleveland and Detroit wont have to scoreboard watch, because the team each team is most concerned with will be in the other dugout.The first-place Indians and second-place Tigers meet Friday night at Progressive Field in the first contest of a three-game series. They play a four-game series in Detroit from Sept. 26-29. So for each team, seven of their next 13 games will be against each other.The Indians go into this crucial portion of their schedule with a decided advantage over the Tigers. Cleveland has a six-game lead over the second place Tigers in the Central Division race. In the season series, Cleveland leads 11-1 and has outscored Detroit 79-36.That six-game difference in the division race could change quickly, however, should either team sweep this weekends series. Not surprisingly, then, both teams have juggled their starting rotations so their top pitchers will pitch in this series.Fridays pitching matchup is Cy Young Award candidate Corey Kluber for the Indians and Rookie of the Year candidate Michael Fulmer for the Tigers. Saturday pits Clevelands Carlos Carrasco versus Detroits Justin Verlander. Sunday, its the Indians Trevor Bauer against the Tigers Daniel Norris.The same pitching matchups are expected to be repeated in the four-game series in Detroit the last week of the regular season.Weve tried to set it up where we have our best pitchers going against the team were chasing in the division, Tigers manager Brad Ausmus said. Theyre pitching against them both times (we play them).The Tigers are also very much alive in the AL wild-card race, but Ausmuss said their priority is still trying to catch Cleveland.dddddddddddd.Were trying to do what we can to catch the Indians. Thats the goal, he said.Fulmer (10-6, 2.76 ERA) has had an outstanding rookie season, but he has faded somewhat in the second half. Hes won only one game since July 6, a span of 10 starts, and in his last four turns he is 0-3 with a 5.32 ERA. That could be attributed to the career-high 143 2/3 innings hes pitched.Ausmus has tried to give Fulmer some extra days rest between starts.Even with his innings up, more than 20-25 percent, weve pitched him on long rest, a lot. Which I think the recovery is better, Ausmus said.In two starts against the Indians this year, Fulmer is 1-1 with a 4.91 ERA.Kluber has been on a roll in the second half. In his last 12 starts, he is 8-1 with a 2.04 ERA. Hes held opposing hitters to a .206 batting average while averaging 10.1 strikeouts per nine innings. In 29 starts overall, he is 16-9 with a 3.05 ERA. That includes a record of 2-0 and an 0.53 ERA in two starts versus Detroit.Were just trying to take the rest of this season a day at a time, Kluber said. We dont want to get ahead of ourselves because that can open the door for dangerous things to happen.The Indians had hoped to activate catcher Yan Gomes off the disabled list Friday, but that will likely not happen. In his last minor league rehab game Wednesday, Gomes was hit by a pitch on his right hand. He had an X-ray and MRI on Thursday, and the Indians are expected to announce the results of those tests Friday. ' ' '
