BOSTON - Rick Porcello didnt hesitate when asked to recall memories of pitching in Fenway Park.In his rookie season, he hit Bostons Kevin Youkilis in the back with the first pitch of the second inning.There it is, said Porcello, smiling about the question. Getting thrown out in the second inning my rookie year. Getting charged by Kevin Youkilis. That was definitely one of them.Youkilis charged the mound during the confrontation in 2009, threw his helmet at the right-hander and tackled him. Both were ejected.Porcello, who turns 26 on Dec. 27, was introduced Friday after the Red Sox acquired him from the Detroit Tigers last week for outfielder Yoenis Cespedes and two minor league pitchers.Porcello had other Fenway memories, too.During a September start in Bostons run to the 2013 World Series title, he lasted just five-plus innings, getting tagged for nine runs and seven hits — three homers — during a 20-4 loss. He fared much better last season, going eight solid innings in a victory over the Red Sox.For whatever reason, I had a couple of rough starts here and last year I broke through in this ballpark and had a quality start, he said. That was a nice game for me. I had a lot of my family here. I just remember that one for some reason. Its funny, my first year and my last year were my two most memorable moments Ive had in this ballpark to this point.During his 2013 outing, David Ortiz homered to collect his 1,999th career hit. Ortiz hit No. 2,000 off a reliever two innings later.Im definitely happy that I dont have to worry about balls sailing over my head off Ortizs bat, thats for sure, Porcello said. Its going to be a lot of fun. Watching these guys in 2013, when we were competing against them in the playoffs and the fire that they had and everything they had going on in this clubhouse, Im thrilled to be a part of it.Porcello is coming off his best season when he went 15-13 with a 3.43 ERA in 32 starts. He was picked up to help bolster Bostons staff after Jon Lester passed on returning to the Red Sox, signing a $155-millon, six-year deal with the Chicago Cubs.Porcello will be part of a new rotation after Boston also acquired left-hander Wade Miley from Arizona for Rubby De La Rosa and Allen Webster and infielder Raymel Flores. The Red Sox also signed free agent right-hander Justin Masterson.The three likely will join Joe Kelly and Clay Buchholz in a rotation that seems without a true No. 1 starter.I think you have to have five aces, Porcello said. Each one of us has to have pride in their job.Porcello was part of loaded rotation in Detroit last season that included Max Scherzer, Justin Verlander, David Price and Anibal Sanchez.I think watching each of them go about their business, theres something you can learn from everybody, he said. Max is a very analytical guy that talks a lot about pitch selection. Justin is a bulldog, a competitor on the mound. You learn a lot watching his competitiveness. Theres definitely things you can learn from everybody. Rick Reuschel Cubs Jersey . - Golden State Warriors coach Mark Jackson sat on the scorers table at Oracle Arena on Wednesday morning.

Hertl, a 19-year-old native of the Czech Republic, set the league on its ear last week, totaling an NHL-best five goals in only three games for the unbeaten Bay Area club. He picked up four of those in a 9-2 victory over the Rangers on Oct. 8, including a between-the-legs, breakaway shot for his final tally of the contest which drew widespread reaction. The 17th-overall pick in the 2012 draft leads all first-year players with seven goals. Second Star honors went to a pair of Avalanche goaltenders in a rare move. Semyon Varlamov and JJean-Sebastien Giguere have combined to allow only four goals in Colorados first five games of the season.dddddddddddd Varlamov went 2-0 with a 1.00 goals-against average and .971 save percentage, while Giguere stopped 39 shots in his lone start, a 2-0 win in Boston last Thursday. Penguins captain Sidney Crosby took home the Third Star. Crosby led the league with seven points (3G, 4A) in three games as Pittsburgh won two of its three matchups. He also recorded his eighth career hat trick in a 5-4 win over the Bolts on Saturday. The league leader in points (9) has a season-commencing five-game point streak, his longest to kick off a season since his rookie year in 2005-06. ' ' '
