Sydney coach Andrew Gaze has dismissed criticism that the Kings are trying to buy their way to an NBL title.Since the season started, Sydney have added former NBA players Josh Powell and Steve Blake to an already-strong roster which also includes two-time league MVP Kevin Lisch and fellow Australian star Brad Newley.Everyone is playing by the same rules, everyone is out there trying to recruit the best players they possibly can, said first-year coach Gaze, who has the Kings sitting atop the ladder with five wins from their first six matches.One thing I have learnt in my short time here is that the speculation and the lack of knowledge of what people are getting paid and the rumours that go around is quite comical.We would certainly be one of the teams that are at the top end of spending.But I dont think were doing any more than a couple of others.The NBL have lifted the salary cap this year from a hard cap of $1 million to a soft cap of $1.1 million.Teams may exceed the soft cap provided that they pay a salary equalisation subsidy.Its not against the rules to pay players whatever you want, Gaze said.But I dont think were in that extreme category where we might be facing some prospects of, depending on the end numbers, being involved in having to pay some taxes.But I dare say that a few other clubs either are, or they are not telling the truth.The Kings have played four of their first six matches at home.Three of their next four are on the road in an eight-day spell, starting with a trip to Cairns on Saturday.Cheap Roberto Clemente Jersey .

Cheap Pittsburgh Pirates Jerseys . I cant pinpoint a date, but I do remember a player from my youth.

Cheap Barry Bonds Jersey .C. - The Carolina Hurricanes have placed backup goalie Anton Khudobin on injured reserve with an unspecified lower-body injury.DETROIT -- The Chicago White Sox knew they were in trouble when Tim Anderson grounded out to end the fourth inning.Chicago still led 3-0, but they had just left the bases loaded without scoring -- something they have done too many times this season.Thats really been our Achilles heel all season, Chicago manager Robin Ventura said. We get a lead, and we give ourselves a chance to add to it, and we dont take it.The White Sox had done the same thing Monday night in a loss to the Tigers, and it cost them again Tuesday. Detroit scored twice in the fifth inning and four times in the sixth on their way to an 8-4 win.Thats what makes Detroit so good, Chicagos Adam Eaton said. You saw it yesterday and today. When they get started offensively, they keep going. We had that bases loaded opportunity and didnt get anything out of it, but when they have a chance to get more runs, they come up with a big hit. We havent done that all year.The White Sox might have expected a Detroit rally, and couldnt have been surprised that Ian Kinsler was a big part of it. What they probably werent expecting was JaCoby Jones.In his major league debut, Jones gave the Tigers the lead with a sixth-inning double, and then added a second RBI in the seventh.Thats something Ill never forget, my first big league hit, he said. Its something you work hard for to get here and to do it in the first night at the plate, its simply amazing.Kinsler came into the game hitting .085 (4 for 47) in his last 13 games, but he hit a two-run homer in the fifth and added a two-run single in Detroits four-run sixth inning.He didnt mind the spotlight shining on Jones.To have your first hit be a big one, with your family here, thats very cool to see, he said of his rookie teammate. He even got the post-game interview and the ice-bucket shower. Thats a great night for him.Todd Frazier homered for Chicago.Bruce Rondon (5-2) picked up the win in relief of Daniel Norris, who allowed three runs in five innings.Matt Albers (2-6) took the loss, allowing three runs in the sixth after relieving Anthony Ranaudo.Chicago went ahead with three runs in the second. Frazier provided the first two with his 33rd homer, but Norris coulddnt stop the rally there.dddddddddddd Omar Narvaez walked, took third on Tyler Saladinos double and scored on Adam Eatons groundout.The White Sox loaded the bases with two outs in the fourth, but Norris was able to induce an inning-ending groundout from Anderson.That proved important when Kinsler drove a hanging curveball deep into the stands in left field to make it 3-2 in the fifth.It took us a while to get going against Ranaudo, because he had the curveball working, he was erratic with his fastball and he was mixing in a changeup and a slider, Kinsler said. He was just throwing the ball well, but Daniel kept us in the game.Ranaudo returned for the sixth, but was yanked after allowing a leadoff double to J.D. Martinez. Justin Upton greeted Albers with a tying single to center, and Jarrod Saltalamacchia walked. Jones slapped a double down the right-field line for his first hit and first RBI.Kinsler followed with a two-run single to give Detroit a 6-3 lead. Chicago got a run back in the seventh on Melky Cabreras groundout, but Shane Greene struck out Jose Abreu and Justin Morneau with a runner on third.J.D. Martinez restored Detroits three-run lead with a solo home in the seventh, his third extra-base hit of the game. Jones made it 8-4 late in the inning with a single through a drawn-in infield.TRAINERS ROOMWhite Sox: RHP Miguel Gonzalez (groin) is expected to start a rehab assignment this week, while INF Brett Lawrie continues his with Double-A Birmingham. . LF Cabrera left the game late due to an illness, but expects to play Wednesday.Tigers: With CF Cameron Maybin still sidelined for a few days with a wrist injury, Detroit promoted Jones from Triple-A Toledo.

He started at third on Tuesday.UP NEXTThe teams finish their three-game series Wednesday afternoon, with aces Justin Verlander (14-7, 3.33) and Chicagos Chris Sale (15-7, 3.14) facing off. ' ' '
