MIAMI -- With the way the season was shaping up, it was going to be a long shot for the Philadelphia Phillies to make the playoffs. Their hopes came to a halt Friday following a 2-1 loss to the Miami Marlins eliminating them from playoff contention. "Its disappointing," said Phillies starter Cliff Lee. "I think everyone here could agree with that. We expected to win this division, make the post-season, and win the World Series ultimately. Obviously thats not going to happen now." Carlos Lees game-winning single in the bottom of the ninth inning lifted the Miami Marlins to the win snapping a season-high seven-game losing streak and prevented the Phillies from reaching the post-season for the first time in six years. "That was a matter of time," Phillies manager Charlie Manuel said. "Right now were kind of dragging, but thats no excuse for us not to score some runs." The Phillies overcame a horrible first half with a 37-50 record at the All-Star Break and came from way behind to get within three games of St. Louis for the second wild card spot. But they lost five of the next six to fall out of the chase. "We got ourselves in a pretty big hole early," Cliff Lee said. "It was too big of a hole to dig ourselves out of. We played really well in the second half, made our season definitely more respectable, but considering how bad we were in the first half we were very fortunate to be where we were these past few weeks." Bryan Petersen began the ninth with a double to right field off Josh Lindblom (3-4). "We thought that Lindblom could get that guy out," Manuel said. "He had him 0-2 and he ended up getting ahead, a guy thats hitting .205 against righties." Jose Reyes grounded out and Giancarlo Stanton was intentionally walked setting up the at-bat with Lee. Lee lined a single to left-centre field scoring Petersen from second as Laynce Nixs throw to home was off-line for the Marlins eighth walk-off win of the season. "As soon as I hit it, I knew it was over the shortstops head and the game was over," Carlos Lee said. Steve Cishek (5-2) pitched one inning in relief for the win. "Weve got to give our fans our best effort." Carlos Lee said. "We know were out of it, but they deserve the best from us." Stanton hit his 35th home run and doubled for the Marlins in his return after missing the previous nine games with an oblique strain. "It looked like a script," Marlins manager Ozzie Guillen said. "This kid comes out with a double and a home run. Whats going on here? Like I said, this kids got the opportunity to be one of the best players in the game. When you see him in the lineup, obviously the lineup looks a little bit different." With Miami holding a 1-0 lead, John Mayberry led off the eighth with a double to left off Buehrle for the Phillies. Buehrle retired the next two batters, but could not escape unscathed as Jimmy Rollins drove in Mayberry with a line drive base hit to left to tie the game 1-1. Buehrle pitched eight innings allowing one run and six hits. He struck out eight as he surpassed the 200-inning mark for the 12th consecutive season. "Obviously, its nice," Buehrle said. "I wished some other stuff would have happened--numbers better and team playing better to get to 200." Cliff Lee allowed one run and three hits in seven innings while striking out five and not allowing a walk. He is 4-1 with a 1.07 ERA in his last seven starts. "Its one of those things where you have to give Buehrle some credit there, he kept us from scoring a run until J-Ro came through with two outs there in the eighth," Cliff Lee said. "That was a big hit by him, but Buehrle got it done. Theres a reason why hes been throwing as long as he has." The Phillies recorded three singles in the second inning, but Buehrle got out of the jam when Ty Wiggington over-ran third base and was thrown out by Donovan Solano following an infield single by Michael Martinez. After the baserunning miscue by Wiggington, Buehrle retired the next 14 batters in a row. Stantons solo home run, estimated at 419 feet, off Lee in the fourth gave the Marlins a 1-0 lead. NOTES: Lee has pitched at least six innings without allowing more than one walk in his last 16 starts, a modern-era Major League record. ... Stanton also missed 25 games in July due to knee surgery. ... Phillies 1B Ryan Howard has one hit in 21 at-bats with eight strikeouts against Miami this season. ... Buehrle surpassed 200 innings for the 12th straight season. ... Phillies RHP Roy Halladay (10-8, 4.40 ERA) will face Marlins RHP Ricky Nolasco (12-12, 4.35 ERA) Saturday. Daryl Johnston Jersey .

Diaw played in 20 games, seven of them starts, after signing on with the Spurs on March 23.WASHINGTON -- The Los Angeles Lakers are playing the waiting for Kobe game -- trying to stay respectable without one of the NBAs all-time greats. Los Angeles had its three-game winning streak broken, 116-111 by the Washington Wizards on Tuesday night, while Bryant, who signed a two-year contract extension on Monday, watched on television from the locker room. The Lakers star pledged his loyalty to the only team hes ever played for in his first public comments about the extension, saying before the game that Los Angeles willingness to pay him a reported $48.5 million for the next two seasons makes him want to "run through a wall" for the team. He wont play in Brooklyn on Wednesday or at Detroit on Friday as he concludes his rehab from surgery on his ruptured Achilles tendon. His teammates nearly pulled out another win against a team with two hot players, John Wall, who had 31 points and Nene, who scored a career-high 30 on 13-for-22 shooting from the field. "We have to learn how to win with this team. Its just put together and we dont have one thing that we go to all the time, but well get it straight," Los Angeles coach Mike DAntoni said. "Theyre playing hard, and theyre together and we should have won tonight." The Lakers are 7-8 but just 1-5 on the road. Wall, who was named the Eastern Conference Player of the Week on Monday, has scored more than 30 points in three straight games for the first time in his career. The point guard scored 11 points in the final 4:40 to help seal the win. Washington coach Randy Wittman isnt surprised or especially pleased by Walls success in his fourth year. "No, because hes going to play better (Wednesday)," Wittman said. Washington plays at Milwaukee on Wednesday. Wall and Nene became the first pair of Wizards to score 30 or more since Dec. 16, 2009, when Gilbert Arenas and Antawn Jamison combined to score 63 points at Sacramento. Nene had never scored more than 28 points in his 12-year NBA career. "I feel like wine. You get old. You get better," the 31-year-old Brazilian said. It didnt necessarily confound Wittman that Nene had never hit 30.dddddddddddd "Hes not a guy who looks to score every time he touches the ball. There are some players in this league that do that," Wittman said. "I could see where he hasnt, but Im glad he did it tonight." Martell Webster added 20 points with four 3-pointers. Jordan Farmar led the Lakers with 22 and Pau Gasol had 17. The Wizards took a 75-73 lead on Nenes three-point play with 2:37 left in the third quarter and led 82-77 after three. Websters consecutive 3-pointers in the fourth quarter gave Washington an 88-80 lead with 10:22 to play. Webster added another 3-pointer to give the Wizards their largest lead -- 96-87 with 7:38 to play. Thanks to Walls hot play, Washington held on. Gasols three-point play with 24.5 seconds left cut the lead to 113-111, but Wall hit three final free throws. Bryant is back practicing, but his return wont come until at least Dec. 6, when the Lakers play at Sacramento. "We dont think about it much at all. We have a job to do now, the guys who are in the lineup. Everybodys focused on their responsibility and I think weve done pretty good so far," Farmar said. "Were still learning and still trying to figure each other out. Its going to be a work in progress even when he does come back, trying to figure out everybodys role." Washington was without guard Bradley Beal, who will be out for at least two weeks with a stress injury to his right foot. Beal was replaced in the starting lineup by Trevor Ariza, who missed the last five games with a strained right hamstring. NOTES: Los Angeles C Chris Kaman missed his third straight game with a sore back. ... Washington F Chris Singleton was active for the first time all season. He missed the first 13 games with a stress fracture in his left foot. Singleton played a minute and didnt score. . Wizards F Otto Porter, who has yet to play this season due to a right hip injury, participated in his first practice on Monday and is nearing a return, Wittman said. cheap jerseys cheap nfl jerseys ' ' '
