SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. Brad Smith Jersey . -- Barry Bonds is all set to return to the San Francisco Giants. As a spring training instructor, that is. The all-time home run leader who never officially retired is expected to arrive during the second week of March. Manager Bruce Bochy said Saturday that hes looking forward to having the 49-year-old Bonds in camp and thinks he can help the hitters. Bonds spent his last 15 seasons with the Giants, finishing in 2007. He has not been elected to the Hall of Fame, with many voters saying his lofty numbers were boosted by performance-enhancing drugs. Bonds set major league records with 762 career home runs and 73 in 2001. He also had a .444 career on-base percentage and a .607 slugging percentage and stole 514 bases. Hell join former Giants Jeff Kent, Robb Nen, Will Clark and J.T. Snow as special instructors. Kent and Bonds were involved in a highly publicized feud during the 2002 season, which reached its peak in June, when the two engaged in a shoving match in the dugout that was caught on camera. Bonds final contract with the Giants included a 10-year services deal following his retirement, which included spring training visits. The seven-time MVP has made limited public appearances since his final season, and has been embroiled in legal trouble. Bonds remains a fan favourite in San Francisco, enjoying a warm reception any time hes introduced at AT&T Park, the Giants home park. Matt Cain, the Giants longest active tenured player, was Bonds teammate between 2005-07. Tim Lincecum made his major league debut in 2007. Bonds also holds the big league records for walks in a season (232 in 2004, including a record 120 intentional walks) and in a career (2,558). Bonds was a .298 hitter during a 22-year career. He had a .609 on-base percentage and .812 slugging percentage in 2004. Overall, Bonds homered against 449 different pitchers. He shares the major league record with his father, Bobby Bonds, for most seasons (5) with 30 home runs and 30 stolen bases. He hit eight home runs in the 2002 post-season and holds the record for highest slugging percentage (1.294 in 2002) in a World Series. Jordan Hicks Jersey .

"Very pleased about most everything about the game," he said. "I like the way we played, I liked how we played." Then he stated the obvious. "I just didnt like the four returns for touchdowns," the coach concluded. Ted Ginn Jr. took a punt 74 yards for a touchdown, and the Carolina Panthers defence scored three times in a 34-27 victory over the reigning Super Bowl champions Thursday night. Drayton Florence ran an interception 71 yards into the end zone, Thomas Davis scored on a 2-yard fumble return and linebacker Luke Kuechly picked off another of Joe Flaccos passes late in the second quarter to set up a 54-yard field goal by Graham Gano for a 24-7 lead. "I was able to read the quarterback and make a play on it," Kuechly said. Carolina (2-1) had only 67 yards in offence before halftime, yet reeled off 24 straight points after Baltimore (2-1) scored on its first possession. Late in the third quarter, D.J. Moore intercepted a pass by Tyrod Taylor and ran 31 yards for a touchdown to make it 34-17. After collecting four turnovers against the Ravens, the Panthers have 10 in three games. "Turnovers are great. Its paying off big-time," said Kuechly, the AP Defensive Rookie of the Year in 2012. "Weve had quite a few turnovers in each game and thats huge for us. Defensive coaches have done a good job of stressing it." Flacco, the Super Bowl MVP, played into the third quarter and went 18 for 24 for 169 yards and a touchdown. In three preseason games, he has two TD passes and three interceptions. Although he produced 10 points in the third quarter, Flacco was far from satisfied with the performance of the first-team offence. "We obviously turned the ball over, and you lose more games than you win in this league when you do that," he said. "With what we did tonight, were not going to win a lot of football games." The Ravens finished with 27 first downs compared to 14 for Carolina, outgained the Panthers 357-173 and had an 11 1/2-minute edge in time of possession. "Its one thing to always remember: When you score (three) touchdowns on defence and on special teams, the offence doesnt get back out there," Carolina coach Ron Rivera said. Allen Barbre Jersey. "The opportunities are limited. Having said that, 3.7 yards an average offensive play is not good enough, not in this league." Theyll win plenty with a 4-0 edge in turnovers, though. "Tonight was one of those games that we did a lot of good things, but we had some miscommunication and turned the ball over too much," Flacco said. Panthers quarterback Cam Newton completed 10 of 19 passes for 99 yards. Carolina lost backup receiver Kealoha Pilares in the first quarter because of a knee injury. He will have an MRI on Friday. "Theres a little concern, but well keep our fingers crossed," Rivera said. Guard Amini Silatolu left in the second quarter with a strained hamstring and running back Kenjon Barner rolled his ankle. Baltimores opening drive was a display of precision. Flacco went 5 for 5 for 45 yards, connecting with three receivers during a nine-play, 69-yard march that ended with a 1-yard touchdown run by Ray Rice. "We opened the game the way we want to play and know how we can play," Ravens offensive co-ordinator Jim Caldwell said at halftime. "We were crisp, we were fast and we were in rhythm." The next time, though, Flacco missed on three straight passes to set up a punt. Ginn eluded the first wave of tacklers, broke up the middle and held the ball aloft at around the 20 with punter Sam Koch in futile pursuit. That enabled the Panthers to get out of the first quarter in a tie at 7 despite making only one first down and 38 yards on nine plays. Early in the second quarter, Flacco was attempting to convert a third-and-10 when Florence intercepted the pass and took it down the right sideline for a touchdown. After the kickoff, Bernard Pierce fumbled when hit by Kuechly. Davis pounced on the ball and rolled into the end zone for a 21-7 lead. Three turnovers and poor punt coverage offset all the positives for the defending champions. "When you turn it over and give up a special teams touchdown, you get in a big hole," Harbaugh said. "We have to protect the ball better." wholesale jerseys cheap jerseys cheap nfl jerseys wholesale jerseys cheap soccer jerseys wholesale jerseys wholesale jerseys cheap nfl jerseys china ' ' '
