Clearance .Risdon has established himself as one of the Glorys best
players in recent seasons, and hes a strong chance to be announced as the clubs
new captain.The 24-year-old is also starting to make a splash on the
international stage, featuring three times for the Socceroos.Risdon considered a
move to Europe at the end of last season, before deciding to re-sign with Glory
for one more year.Lowe is rapt to have retained the services of Risdon for
another campaign.But he wants to see Risdon go on to bigger and better things
next year.Hes a super player, Lowe said.I was chatting to him today. I said, I
dont want to see you at this time next year.I dont want you here. Because if hes
not here, it means hes got a good move somewhere.Risdon faces a nervous wait to
see whether he earns selection in the Socceroos 23-man squad for upcoming World
Cup qualifiers against Saudi Arabia and Japan.The West Australian was initially
left out of the squad for recent wins against Iraq and UAE, but he earned a late
call-up once Bailey Wright was ruled out with a toe injury.However, with Milos
Degenek and Ryan McGowan ahead of him in the right-back pecking order, Risdon
didnt feature in either of those games, and he faces a fight just to retain his
spot in the squad.Lowe said Risdons huge potential meant a successful Socceroos
career beckoned.If Rizzo wants to go to a World Cup, hell go, Lowe said.That
will be his choice, because he will have worked hard to earn it.Meanwhile, Glory
will ramp up their pre-season preparations when they take on Brisbane Roar at
Leichhardt Oval on Tuesday afternoon.Lowe will unleash a near full-strength team
for the friendly, although underdone duo Adam Taggart and Diego Castro are only
expected to play between 45-60 minutes.Glory kick off their season at home to
Central Coast on October 8.

John Tavares, Thomas Vanek and Kyle Okposo were also being counted on to slow

YORK -- Minnesota manager Ron Gardenhire is realistic. Taking two out of three
from the Yankees for their first series win in New York in more than a decade is
not going wipe out the Twins horrid first half. It sure feels good, though.
Aaron Hicks hit a three-run homer a pitch after shortstop Eduardo Nunez made a
two-out throwing error, and Minnesota took advantage of some Yankees miscues and
misfortune to beat CC Sabathia for the first time in six years, 10-4 Sunday.
"You still have to live with the way we played in the first half and our record
is not very good," Gardenhire said, quickly adding: "Guys are smiling and thats
what we want to see." Justin Morneau had three hits -- two very well placed --
as Minnesota won a series at Yankee Stadium for the first time since taking a
set at the old ballpark in 2001. Still, the Twins are 9-31 here starting a year
later. Theyd had even less success against Sabathia (9-8), going 0-11 in 12
games including the post-season after beating him on July 29, 2007. "Things went
our way and that hasnt happened here in a long time," Gardenhire said. The
Yankees made two errors that led to five unearned runs. They also hit into four
double plays -- two on baserunning blunders by Zoilo Almonte -- in making it
plenty easy for the Twins in the teams final game before the All-Star break. The
fans let New York know their displeasure, booing relentlessly after the Yankees
fell behind 8-1 in the fourth. Rookie Kyle Gibson (2-2) benefited from the
sloppy play to earn his second win in four career starts. He pitched five-plus
shaky innings, yielding three runs -- two earned -- on five hits and four walks.
Minnesota improved to 3-7 on a 10-game road trip and is 39-53. "Its been a
terrible road trip," Ryan Doumit said. "Its nice to win two out of three going
into the break, give us a little bit of a momentum, especially two out of three
against the Yankees at their place is big for us." After the game, Gardehire
said the team is making three moves, sending outfielders Oswaldo Arcia and Chris
Parmelee and infielder Eduardo Escobar to Triple-A Rochester. "They need to go
swing, all of them do," said Gardenhire, who emphasized all three are part of
the clubs future. To take their spots, the Twins will purchase the contract of
infielder Doug Bernier and recall catcher Chris Herrmann from Rochester. A third
move will be made sometime before Fridays game against Cleveland. New York goes
into the break 51-44, good for fourth place in the AL East. "I think wee just
need to be more consistent, we got to stay out of stretches where we dont score
runs," Yankees manager Joe Girardi said.

Online. "We have to be more consistent offensively and if we do
that, were going to have a shot." Sabathia gave up a season-high eight runs --
three earned -- and matched his low of four innings this year. Lyle Overbay
couldnt handle Doumits two-out hot shot to first base with the bases loaded in
the fourth for an error to let in two runs to make it 8-1. The previous batter,
Morneau hit a popup in between the mound and second base that was just out of a
lunging Sabathias reach. Sabathia slid on his knees after missing the ball as
Jamey Carroll scored. In the third, Morneau, who came in batting .128 against
Sabathia, hit a short fly to right that hit off second baseman Robinson Canos
glove for a double. Nunez made his error two batters later and Hicks connected
for a 5-0 lead. Sabathia shouted and Nunez took off his glove and held his hand
on his hip as Hicks rounded the bases with his eighth homer of the year. "Guys
are going to make errors," Sabathia said. "Its up to the pitcher to make
pitches." In the first inning, Almonte burst off first base on Canos sharp liner
to right and was doubled off to end the inning. The rookie tried tagging up on a
routine fly to left field in the third but was out at home by several feet.
Almonte reached on second baseman Brian Doziers fielding error and advanced on
Canos RBI single that made it 5-1 and a groundout. Carroll -- in the lineup
because he was 4 for 10 against Sabathia -- and Pedro Florimon had RBI singles
in the second. Ichiro Suzuki, who had three hits, homered in the seventh to make
it 8-4. Dozier had an RBI double in the eighth and Yankees catcher Chris
Stewarts passed ball allowed one more in the ninth. NOTES: Cano had at least one
RBI in all seven games against the Twins this year. He had nine in a four-game
sweep at Minnesota. ... Girardi said Andy Pettitte will start Friday at Boston
in the first game after the break. He will be followed by Hiroki Kuroda and
Sabathia. ... Gardenhire set his post-break rotation, too: Mike Pelfrey, Kevin
Correia, Scott Diamond and Samuel Deduno. ... Girardi said injured SS Derek
Jeter (quad strain) will not be evaluated until Thursday or Friday. ... Alex
Rodriguez went 1 for 3 with a run-scoring double and two RBIs for Class A Tampa,
his first extra-base hit during a minor league rehabilitation assignment. A-Rod
is scheduled to join Double-A Trenton for Mondays game at Reading, Pa. ' ' '
