MIAMI - Over the years, the Miami Heat have seen Josh Smith put up some big games against them, and more than a few clunkers as well.Now the Heat wouldnt mind seeing what he does in their colours.Heat guard Dwyane Wade said Tuesday that hes supporting the teams quest to add Smith, who became available somewhat unexpectedly earlier this week when the Detroit Pistons — who signed him to a four-year, $54 million deal in July 2013 — waived the enigmatic small forward.My initial thought with Josh Smith is the same as anyones initial thoughts, Wade said. Hes a very talented guy who in the right situation can help a team.Miami hopes Smith thinks having a chance to start alongside Wade and Chris Bosh is that right situation.And the Heat could use some help at forward with Josh McRoberts likely to miss the rest of the season after undergoing knee surgery on Monday.That surgery allowed the Heat to apply to the NBA for an exception that would allow them to offer Smith a contract worth about $2.6 million. The NBA continued to collect information on Tuesday about that possible exception, though its unclear when a decision will be made.The Heat wasted little time making overtures toward Smith, who has not informed them of any decision and is being pursued by several clubs, including Houston and Dallas.Miami has made a number of low-risk, high-reward moves in recent years, like bringing in Chris Andersen — who has been a key part of the Heat almost since the moment he arrived.Smith would figure to fall into that same category. For relatively little money, the Heat could add someone whos averaged 15.4 points per game in his career and just turned 29 years old. But Smith shot a career-worst 42 per cent last season, and was at a 39 per cent clip when the Pistons waived him.He has a decision to make, Wade said. A lot of teams would welcome him with open arms. Were no different. Bill Lee Red Sox Jersey . - A pitch clock will be used this season during minor league games at Triple-A and Double-A, but it has been ruled out for the major leagues this year.

But luckily for the Canadian squad, one goal was all it needed. Winnipegs Sophie Schmidt scored the winner off a Diana Matheson corner kick to seal Canadas third-place spot in the Torneio Internacional de Futebol Feminino in Brazil on Sunday.NAPLES, Fla. -- Kirk Triplett jokes that fellow golfers say they think Bernhard Langer is human. "But I dont know," Triplett said. "I dont know." What Triplett does know is that he matched the defending ACE Group Classic champion for the lead at 10-under 134 after the second round Saturday. Triplett shot a 5-under 67 in windy conditions on TwinEagles Talon Course. Langer, also the 2011 winner and 2012 runner-up, followed his opening 64 with a 70. He won the season-opening event in Hawaii last month for his 19th Champions Tour title. "Hes the ultimate of our Champions Tour sport, right?" Triplett asked. "Hes out there, hes preparing, hes working, hes playing the same way that he played, hes treating this tournament playing like it was the Masters, right and not all guys do that. "A lot of guys do, but not everybody can pull themselves into that mindset week after week." This week, its Tripletts shot. Hes on an impressive streak, going 64 holes without a bogey. "Ive hit some nice shots, Ive hit some poor shots and gotten away with them, so thats going to put you usually pretty close," Triplett said. When Langer was told about Tripletts streak, he said, "Good for him. Triplett has two Champions Tour victories after winning three times on the PGA Tour. "Hes a very good ball-striker and great putter," Langer said. "I was paired with him at Pebbble Beach when he won I think last year, so hes certainly a very good player and seasoned competitor.dddddddddddd" Langer birdied No. 17, then hit a 4-iron 200 yards from Bermuda rough over water to 12 feet to save par on 18. Last year, Langer built up a big lead after two rounds, then held off a couple of charges to win. This time, he looks as if hes in for a much tougher challenge. Duffy Waldorf and Olin Browne were 9 under. Waldorf, coming off a playoff loss to Michael Allen last week in Boca Raton in the Allianz Championship, shot 68. Browne had a 71. "A lot of times on the Champions Tour its like this, the scores can be bunched up," Langer said. "Its difficult to separate yourself in two rounds or three rounds and most tournaments are won by one shot or maybe two. "Every shot counts at the end of the week." Colin Montgomerie, playing in his 12th Champions Tour event, was 7 under along with Bob Tway. Montgomerie had a 67, and Tway shot 72. Montgomerie hasnt won an official PGA Tour-sanctioned event on American soil. "I won the World Match Play in Arizona," he said in mock protest. "They paid me a million dollars for winning, I suppose. I got a trophy. I beat Ernie Els in the semifinal, Davis Love in the final. "So I have won. Not a regular PGA Tour event, hows that, so Ill give you that. But Ive been bloody close on a number of occasions." ' ' '
