GLENDALE, Ariz. -- Larry Fitzgerald heard the report about this being his last season and quickly swatted it down.I dont talk about my future, he said. I dont know what Im have for dinner tonight, let along what Im doing next year.Theres no reason to look that far ahead. Hes too busy still playing well right now.Looking 23 not 33, Fitzgerald was at his sure-handed best against the New England Patriots on Sunday night to kick off his 13th NFL season. He caught balls in traffic with ease, shed tacklers to add yards after the catch and made the spectacular look routine.By the end of the night, it wasnt enough.Despite Fitz being Fitz, the Cardinals opened the season with a 23-21 loss to the New England Patriots on Sunday night after Chandler Catanzaro missed a 47-yard field goal in the final minute.We had it going a little bit, but nothing sustained, Fitzgerald said. We have to find a way to be able to get it going and maintain the positive drives to be able to score.Fitzgerald got one task out of the way quickly, snaring a pass on Arizonas opening drive to extend his NFL-record streak to 180 games with a catch. He reached for the pylon on a 3-yard pass from Carson Palmer in the second quarter, moving into a tie for 10th on the NFLs all-time receiving touchdowns list.Fitzgerald lit up the highlight reels with an over-the-shoulder 1-yard TD catch in the fourth quarter for his 100th TD reception. That moved him into a tie with Steve Largent and Tim Brown for eighth all-time , four behind Antonio Gates for seventh.Thats the GOAT right there, Cardinals tackle D.J. Humphries said. Hes always going to show up.Fitzgerald also was key in getting the Cardinals into position for a potential game-winning kick, catching three passes for 46 yards on Arizonas final drive.He finished with eight catches for 81 yards, but had to watch from the sideline as the final play unfolded.It came in the form of a wide-left field goal by Catanzaro after a low-and-wide snap by new long snapper Kameron Canaday.More history, more great plays, but still one frustrating loss.Obviously, we would have loved to be able to get down and score a touchdown, but we werent able to do that, Fitzgerald said. That ended up costing us the game. Zack Cozart Angels Jersey . Oaklands loss to Seattle clinched the ALs best record for the Red Sox with one day to spare in the regular season.

ARLINGTON, Texas -- General manager Jon Daniels expects more postseason chances for the Texas Rangers to pursue that elusive World Series title.While the Rangers lost in the AL Division Series to Toronto for the second consecutive year, this time getting swept, Daniels said Tuesday that he doesnt buy into any contention that there could be a shrinking window of opportunity for the AL West champions.If were doing our jobs right ... I dont believe that theres like an open-and-close period, Daniels said. I think good organizations, regardless of sport, find a way to win year in, year out. ... I dont think of it like weve got X-number of years and then weve got to about-face or change plans. I think we can be nimble and adjust as we go.Daniels just marked his 11th anniversary as GM of the Rangers, who have made the postseason five of the last seven seasons. That includes the franchises only World Series appearances in 2010 and 2011, and Texas missed the playoffs in 2013 after losing an AL wild-card tiebreaker game.While proud of what the organization has accomplished year after year, Daniels said the Rangers expect to keep winning.At the same time, you start over for next year, he said.The Rangers will go into 2017 with All-Star aces Cole Hamels and Yu Darvish at the top of their rotation, though both struggled in their ALDS starts. Third baseman Adrian Beltre will be back for his 20th major league season, and shortstop Elvis Andrus is the teams longest-tenured position player after eight seasons and still only 28.When asked Tuesday what this seasons team was missing, Beltre responded, A ring.At 37 years old, Beltre knows he is running out of chances to win a World Series, even if the team keeps making the playoffs year after year. The four-time All-Star, 58 hits shy of 3,000 in his career, is signed through 2018 after gettting two years added to his deal last spring.ddddddddddddIt hurts more because you do believe that you can do it, you do know you have the pieces to do it, said Beltre, who thought this might be his World Series title season. Its what drives me.Daniels said Texas will pick up the $5.25 million club option on Jonathan Lucroy, the catcher acquired in an Aug. 1 trade from Milwaukee.The Rangers have decisions to make on several pending free agents who played prominent roles: All-Star center fielder Ian Desmond, first baseman Mitch Moreland, right-hander Colby Lewis, outfielder Carlos Gomez and outfielder-DH Carlos Beltran.All of the free agents are guys that under the right circumstances we would welcome back, Daniels said.A primary offseason focus will be to bolster the rotation, while also determining what to do about center field and first base. Converted shortstop Desmond signed an $8 million, one-year deal last spring after turning down a qualifying offer with Washington, and Moreland is a free agent for the first time.The Rangers had AL-high 95 wins this season, and would have had home-field advantage through the postseason. But at their home ballpark Tuesday, packing boxes were spread throughout the clubhouse. They were cleaning out lockers only a week after working out there while still waiting to see who they would play in the ALDS.We can look back in retrospect and think about the 95 wins, and how we got there, and the AL West championship, second-year manager Jeff Banister said. But really, truly the culture and chemistry of this group -- one mission -- and that was to win a World Series.And that will be the goal again when the Rangers get to spring training in Arizona next February.
