CHICAGO -- Jason Hammel says potato chips have helped end chronic cramping issues. Now the Chicago Cubs right-hander has enough salty snacks to last the rest of the season.Hammel was greeted at his Wrigley Field locker Wednesday morning by a 6-foot high stack of cardboard boxes filled with chips. They were a gift of Pennsylvania-based Utz.Thats classic, a smiling Hammel said. I should be well hydrated.Hammel left his July 7 start against Atlanta in the sixth inning when his right thumb cramped up on a humid day. Hammel has had cramping issues in the past, and his doctor told him potato chips would help.I looked at him like he had 10 eyes, Hammel said, before it started to make sense.Potatoes are obviously a good source of potassium, Hammel said. Carbs, youre burning off energy there. And salt, obviously. Its not the breakfast or type of meal of champions, but there are quirky things for everybody.The 33-year-old said he munched on sea salt and vinegar chips between innings Saturday in his last start. He outdueled Yu Darvish by allowing one run and three hits with seven strikeouts in a 4-1 victory over Texas. And he had no cramps.A new diet was born.What male doesnt look for a chance to eat more potato chips? Cubs manager Joe Maddon said.A sheepish Hammel, who is 8-5 with a 3.34 ERA, leaned on the five boxes of chips at his locker and insisted he wouldnt stray from an offseason conditioning program thats left him leaner and stronger in 2016.The misconception is all I do is eat chips, he said.So dont expect Hammel to morph into the look of hefty Mets right-hander Bartolo Colon, whom the Cubs were to face Wednesday.Hes probably never met a potato chip he didnt like, either, Maddon said. C. J. Goodwin Jersey . LOUIS -- Roman Polak was celebrating even before Alexander Steen scored the winning goal in Saturdays 4-2 win over the Carolina Hurricanes. Mat McBriar Jersey . What general manager Dave Nonis called "short and productive" negotiations ended with Kessel signing a US$64-million, eight-year contract on Tuesday. https://www.cowboysjerseysale.com/295p-charles-haley-jersey-cowboys.html . "Theyve both been real good," said Babcock. "Havent changed our minds." A decision has seemingly been made - Sundays Group B-deciding tilt against Finland ahead - but it could not have been an easy one. Price opened the tournament with a sturdy 19-save performance against the Norwegians, yielding just one goal. Joe Thomas Jersey . The defence is doing its part, too. Drew Brees threw a pair of touchdown passes in the first half and the guys on the other side made sure that was enough, sending the Saints to a 17-13 victory over the Atlanta Falcons on Thursday night. Doug Cosbie Jersey .J. -- New York Giants wide receiver Victor Cruz will miss the rest of the season after having surgery on his left knee. Tim Cahill and Bruno Fornaroli have combined to deadly effect for Melbourne City, each scoring in a 4-1 FFA Cup quarter-final destruction of Western Sydney.Wanderers captain Nikolai Topor-Stanley was sent off just before half-time - ruling him out of the round one A-League Sydney derby - allowing Cahill to score his first City goal from the penalty spot.He was joined on the scoresheet by debutant Michael Jakobsen and new Argentinian signing Fernando Brandan, with Dimas reply little consolation for the Wanderers.Tony Popovics side were utterly dominated by the new-look City, which featured eight new players.One of them, Jakobsen, began the rout in emphatic fashion after 90 seconds.The Danish defender scored a overhead kick past goalkeeper Andrew Redmayne and Wanderers new signing Artiz Borta on the line.On 32 minutes, Fornaroli tapped in Cahills cut-back to double their lead after fine lead-up work from Luke Brattan and Bruce Kamau.The AAMI Park announcer was so excited with Cahills contribution, hee was wrongly credited with the goal.ddddddddddddThe Socceroos striker would soon have one of his own, capitalising on Topor-Stanleys diabolical mistake.The Wanderers centre-back clumsily shoved Fornaroli to the ground after Cahills neat flick created a one-on-one chance.Referee Jarred Gillett had no choice but to send him off and award the spot kick, giving the 5,401-strong crowd what theyd come for - the sight of Cahill punching over the corner flag after rifling home the penalty.Fornaroli struck the post from a free kick after the break before Cahills departure allowed marquee loan signing Nicolas Colazo to debut.The Argentinian was involved in Citys fourth, when Fornarolis header from Colazos cross landed in Brandans lap for another tap-in.A perfect night for City was slightly soured by Dimas 76th-minute headed goal, and Kamaus substitution after clutching his calf.
