Marco Di Vaio declared on Friday that his work in Montreal is "not yet finished," after announcing he will be staying with the club for the 2014 season. Andy Andreoff Jersey . While Di Vaio was alluding to grand aspirations for next year with that comment in his press conference at Stade Saputo, it can also be applied to this season with the clubs current poor run of form leaving much work still to be done if they are to finish in the top five. Montreals results in recent weeks have been far from that of a playoff contender. They are winless in six and have lost three straight at home. They do however still control their destiny and sit fourth in the Eastern Conference standings with two matches left to play. The Impacts final home game of the season on Saturday couldnt be bigger, up against a Philadelphia Union team that is tied with them on points and sitting just below them in the standings. Marco Schallibaums men have been short on preparation time for the Union match, only arriving back in Montreal on Thursday evening after a 1-0 loss away to defending champions LA Galaxy on Wednesday night. With an understrength squad, the Impact were unfortunate not to leave California with a point. The performance was certainly a major improvement on the display in the 1-0 loss at home to New England Revolution a few days earlier. The biggest concern for me last Saturday was not the result against the Revs, but the lackluster performance Montreal put in. They lacked urgency, cohesion and looked bereft of ideas in front of goal. They were unable to get the ball to Di Vaio in positions where he could make an impact, and the one chance that did fall the veterans way was well saved by New England goalkeeper Matt Reis. The only bright spot on that day was the performance of Argentine Designated Player Hernan Bernadello who was impressive in midfield. After home defeats against Columbus, Vancouver and New England, there can be no more slip ups. A win against Philadelphia on Saturday would allow the Impact to breathe a little easier. They could even secure their place in the postseason if they win and other results go their way. The last thing the Impact will want, is to head into the derby match at Toronto FC on the final game of the season needing a win to ensure they make the postseason. The announcement of Di Vaios future has certainly lifted a cloud of uncertainty that has been hanging over the Impact for the last few weeks. The Italian forward has been outstanding in his first full season in MLS and is tied for the league lead with 19 goals alongside Chicagos Mike Magee. Its not just on matchday that Di Vaio has been an important figure. His leadership on and off the field has been superb. He is one of the fittest, hardest working players on the team and certainly didnt arrive in Montreal with an ego. His attitude is an example to the younger players within the squad. While the Impact wont have to replace Di Vaio next year, they will be losing fellow Italian Alessandro Nesta. The Impact have been lucky to have Nesta as part of their squad for the last 18 months, and as with Di Vaio, Nestas contribution to the Impact has touched many aspects of the club, way beyond his performances on the field. Nesta has had an incredible career, and he will bring the curtain down on his playing days at the end of this season. Although the Impact wont be able to call upon the Italian next year, his influence will live on for a long time to come. You only need to look at the young defence Montreal fielded in LA on Wednesday to see the quality players that are coming through. Karl Ouimette, Wandrille Lefevre, Maxim Tissot started against the Galaxy, and all of them have benefitted from seeing Nesta up close in training every day during his time in Montreal, and also the teaching he has given them. Quite rightly, Montreal will take time pre-game on Saturday to honour the career of Nesta - a true legend of the game. Montreal Impact against Philadelphia Union is live on MLS on TSN on Saturday at 2:00 p.m. ET, 11:00 am PT on TSN2. Trevor Lewis Jersey . Ryan Callahan trade talks caught a lot of people off guard. Details are now emerging about why the Rangers would consider such a move. Darren Dreger: He wants a lot of money. Its been widely reported that Callahan is looking for a seven-year term around $6 million per year. That is not accurate. Im told that it is more than $6. Los Angeles Kings Gear . With a win tonight, Buehrle will match Yankees ace Masahiro Tanaka for the most wins in the majors with 11. Buehrle is 10-4 with a 2.32 earned run average, but has lost his last three starts, including a 7-3 setback at Yankee Stadium last Wednesday. http://www.nhlkingsauthority.com/authentic-wayne-gretzky-kings-jersey/ . Bozak and Clarkson suffered the injuries in pre-training camp workouts, according to Carlyle, who said they made "small amounts of improvement" from Friday to Saturday. After the players were deemed less than 100 per cent by doctors after Thursdays medical testing, the Leafs held them out of on-ice testing and are being cautious.ST. LOUIS -- Lance Lynn has been among the best first-half pitchers in the majors since cracking the St. Louis Cardinals rotation in 2011, reaching double-figure win totals before the All-Star break all three seasons. The Los Angeles Dodgers saw a pitcher determined to finish strong, too. Lynn won his third straight start Friday night, leading the Cardinals to a 3-2 victory. "Im not worried about the rest of the season," Lynn said. "Im just worried about my next start -- whenever that may be." Lynn is 33-15 with a 3.54 ERA before the All-Star break and 12-9 with a 3.91 ERA after the break. Hes been among the pitchers getting the most run support, too. Manager Mike Matheny repeated his assertion that Lynn (11-6) is "one of the most underrated pitchers in the game." "Despite what anybody else thinks, hes got a lot of wins and theres a reason," Matheny said. "Its because hes got great stuff." Matt Holliday homered and doubled with three RBIs in support of Lynn. Kolten Wong had two hits and scored on both of Hollidays RBI hits for the Cardinals against the team they beat in the NLCS last fall. They have won six of eight and remained a game behind the Brewers for the NL Central lead. "Really, I just kept my approach simple and tried to hit the ball hard back through the middle of the field," Holliday said. "I dont get ahead of myself. Ive learned playing this long to take this thing day to day." A.J. Ellis had an RBI double for the Dodgers, battling the Giants for the NL West lead. They remained offensively challenged coming out of the All-Star break, totalling 10 runs the last six games. Hollidays seventh homer, estimated at 435 feet to straightaway centre, came off Dan Haren (8-7). Lynn gave up two runs on four hits in six-plus innings. He struck out nine and worked around four walks, which tied his season high. Lynn has 44 wins the last three seasons, one behind Cardinals ace Adam Wainwright for most in the league. He bounced back from season worsts of two innings and sixx earned runs at Los Angeles on June 28 before leaving with a blister. Jonathan Quick Jersey. "I thought he used his breaking ball more. I dont think he used his curveball in L.A. hardly at all," Dodgers manager Don Mattingly said. "It looked like it took us a while to get going." Haren piled up 99 pitches in 4 2-3 innings, allowing three runs on eight hits, and is among the National League leaders with 20 homers allowed. Hes totalled 8 2-3 innings his last two starts and has lost his last three outings overall. "I made a bad pitch to Holliday," Haren said. "I actually didnt make that many mistakes. It seemed like everything they hit in the air was falling, and there was nothing I could do." The Dodgers left the bases loaded in the third when Matt Kemp struck out. The Cardinals stranded three in the fourth when Lynn bounced out after an intentional walk to Tony Cruz. Consecutive doubles by Juan Uribe and Ellis leading off the seventh chased Lynn. Ellis scored on a wild pitch to cut the deficit to one. The Dodgers stranded two against Pat Neshek in the eighth and Trevor Rosenthal had two strikeouts in a perfect ninth for his 29th save in 33 chances. NOTES: The pairing for Saturday is Zack Greinke (11-5, 2.73), coming off his second All-Star nod, against Joe Kelly (1-1, 3.44), making his second start coming off the DL from a hamstring injury. Greinke has won his last four starts against the Cardinals and is 9-3 with a 2.93 ERA for his career against them. ... Mattingly didnt mind Kemp saying he was open to a trade if he didnt get regular playing time in a published report during the break. "The headline catches your eye and you read it and you go, Its not that big of a deal," Mattingly said. Mattingly also didnt mind that Kemp wanted to play centre field, saying "Thats fine, he can view himself however he wants. Im playing him in left." ... Holliday reached 1,000 career RBIs last month. ... The Cardinals have won their first home game after the All-Star break seven straight seasons.
