CHICAGO -- James Shields has never been driven by statistical superlatives. Air Max 270 Flyknit Brown . So after whats been a rocky season, his mission for the stretch run is simple.My main focus is to finish strong, Shields said Friday.Shields (5-17) is 3-10 since joining the Chicago White Sox and is 0-5 in his last seven outings heading into Saturdays start against the Kansas City Royals. Shields is coming off a tumultuous start Sept. 3 when he allowed five runs in just 2 1/3 innings against Minnesota.And after back pain caused manager Robin Ventura to consider putting Shields on the shelf before declaring him healthy enough to make Saturdays start, Shields is again ready to take his turn.Shields wont put any extra emphasis on the start or try to salvage a season with one start. But Shields acknowledged that he handles adversity differently than he did in the past, which allows him to keep his focus on whats ahead.I think when I was younger I was a little more of a hothead and didnt understand how to deal with adversity, Shields said. I think Ive just dealt with so much adversity in my career, being in the game for as long as I have, I know things are going to be thrown my way. I know what I need to do to deal with it.How the Royals deal with Shields remains a question mark simply because of this seasons unpredictability. Shields was 14-8 with the Royals in 2014 when he helped Kansas City reach the World Series. That familiarity may have come in handy in the past, but manager Ned Yost admitted Shields roller coaster season throws a wrench into how the Royals prepare to face him.Edinson Volquez (10-10) will start for the Royals.Its hard, but thats baseball -- you just dont know, Yost said Friday. You can come out one game and give up 10 runs in two innings and then come out the next game and throw eight innings of shutout baseball. Its hard to tell. We know what type of pitcher James Shields is and what type of competitor he is and that hes going to give you everything he has every time he takes that mound.Shields cant explain why he has again struggled the way he did when he first arrived in Chicago. But he hasnt allowed himself to get wrapped up in the criticism that has come his way, but is more concerned with how he pitches from here on out the rest of the season.Im not getting the job done and Im not doing my job out on the mound, Shields said. As a player, its frustrating -- theres no doubt about it. But I know what Im capable of doing. I know what Ive done in my career. But the fans here in Chicago only have one taste of me and thats what Ive done this year. Hopefully, I finish strong here and next year will be a different story.

Paul Pierce couldnt believe he missed at the end. Young scored a season-high 26 points to spark a huge effort from the leagues most productive bench, and Los Angeles beat the Brooklyn Nets 99-94 on Wednesday night after blowing a 27-point lead. St Kilda coach Alan Richardson still has a lot to find out about his side with just two games left in the AFL season.After limping to the line in the past two years, Richardson has demanded a strong finish to this campaign.He also needs to find a replacement for skipper Nick Riewoldt, a reliable back-up for first ruck Tom Hickey and to gauge which players are willing to fight back from adversity.The Saints, who face Richmond and Brisbane in their remaining rounds, have improved considerably this season and sit 10th on the ladder with 10 wins and 10 losses.But they were badly outclassed by Sydney in a 70-point demolition in round 21.Collectively we werent quite at the level so weve got a bit of work to do, Richardson said.At the moment were even-stevens win-loss, weve got a real focus to have a positive year in terms of win-loss and we have that opportunity.We play the Tigers, who I think wed all acknowledge have been building the last couple of weeks, so theyll want to finish off positively, which represents a real challenge.An onfield leadership handover has been on the cards for a while, but Richardson confirmed on Friday that Riewoldt would pass the captaincy to a younger, yet-to-be-named successor in 2017.

Jack Steven, Jarryn Geary and David Armitage are considered leading candidates to take over but Richardson wouldnt be drawn on the likely successor.With Hickey likely out for the rest of the season with a calf injury, rarely sighted American import Jason Holmes was given the chance to press his claims ahead of former Brisbane ruckman Billy Longer.Jack Lonie and Geary were also included in the team, while Darren Minchington was dropped, and Sam Fisher (hamstring) and Tom Hickey (calf) were injured against the Swans.Richardson admits its unlikely Hickey will play again this season but says Fisher is a chance to make it back for round 23.The Tigers made four unforced changes, bringing in Kane Lambert, Todd Elton, Callum Moore and Connor Menadue at the expense of Ty Vickery, Ben Lennon, Nathan Drummond and Anthony Miles.
