SANTA CLARA, Calif. - Jim Harbaugh isnt budging, even if his new broken tooth offers a symbolic glimpse into the story of his disappointing year.No wavering when it comes to his coaching future, thoughts about his bosses in the San Francisco front office, or even whether the 49ers have fallen too far to have hope of a 2014 recovery.After two straight demoralizing defeats in which the Niners have managed only 16 total points, Harbaughs future is the hottest topic around his team. And thats a far cry from the coachs first three seasons when San Francisco was playoff bound and poised for a deep post-season run — as in three straight NFC championship game appearances.Still, Harbaugh spent his regular Monday media session defending quarterback Colin Kaepernick and the effort of his players a day after a 24-13 loss at Oakland that gave the Raiders just their second victory of the season and put a major damper on San Franciscos playoff hopes as the team dropped to 7-6.Colins our quarterback, Harbaugh said. When you talk about a professional, he is that. Hes given every ounce of energy that he has.Other topics strayed far from the field. Harbaughs smile Sunday revealed a chipped left front tooth. He said Monday it happened Saturday night on a piece of meat ... a $2 steak.That tooth was knocked out in his last playoff game as a pro, a 42-14 loss by his Colts to the Steelers in the wild-card round in December 1996.Harbaughs smile was on display when he came out of the tunnel at the Oakland Coliseum and hustled right up to Raiders owner Mark Davis, considered a potential suitor for Harbaughs services in 2015 given Oakland could have a vacancy. Tony Sparano was named interim coach when Davis fired Dennis Allen in late September.Just said hello, said Harbaugh, who noted he knows Davis a little bit from when I coached at the Raiders.The 49ers are preparing for a second meeting with the defending Super Bowl champion Seahawks in 17 days when they travel to Seattle this weekend looking to bounce back from that embarrassing 19-3 loss on Thanksgiving night.You take great love and pride in being a professional. Thats every day, thats every week, thats every game, thats every play, until the whistle blows, Harbaugh said. You take pride in snapping on the film the next day and showing youre playing with every ounce of effort that you have because of the love of the game and the pride you have in being an NFL football professional. ... The efforts there.Harbaugh wouldnt discuss an NFL Network report that the University of Michigan, his alma mater, had reached out to him about its head coach vacancy.As Ive said, as a principle I dont talk about any other job other than the one that I have, Harbaugh said.When asked whether he is satisfied with the professionalism throughout the franchise, including those working above him, Harbaugh answered only with, Were a team.CEO Jed York chose not to post anything critical on Twitter this time, as he did Thanksgiving night when he wrote: This performance wasnt acceptable. I apologize for that.On Monday, fans supporting Harbaugh were tweeting at Yorks account with EXTEND HARBAUGH and We got ya back Coach!Harbaugh is winding up the fourth season of a $25 million, five-year contract he signed in January 2011. Even before the season began with a Super Bowl on everybodys mind there were questions whether this would be it for Harbaugh, who hasnt received an extension — or made it clear he even wants one, for that matter.Harbaugh didnt offer any hints into linebacker Ahmad Brooks status for this week. His streak of consecutive starts ended at 60 on Sunday, when he was benched and didnt play at all after missing a defensive meeting last week.He was in a backup role this last game and well address that this week, Harbaugh said.There wont be any changes to the coaching staff this week to shake things up, Harbaugh said.As far as his own future, he insisted once again that he is most concerned about winning and taking care of his players the rest of the way.Ive answered this question many times, even recently. So you know exactly what my priorities are, he said. I get this from the Marines. Leaders eat last.___Online:AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP_NFL Discount Fake Shoes .

His solution to his hitting woes was business in the front and a party in the back."That would be a mullet," Norris says.TORONTO – Three-and-a-half hours before Wednesdays series finale with the Yankees, the Blue Jays issued a surprising media release announcing the demotion of Kevin Pillar to Triple-A Buffalo. This is far from an earth-shattering move, Pillar was the 25th-man, but the shock lies in his return to the Bisons just 48 hours after his latest recall and in the reasons why hes Buffalo-bound. Pillar and Anthony Gose were supposed to be the right-field platoon while Jose Bautista recovers from a mild strain of his left hamstring. The contract of outfielder Brad Glenn, a 23rd-round pick in 2009, has been purchased. “Were looking for a little more sock from the right side,” said manager John Gibbons. “Weve got three left-handed pitchers coming in from the White Sox and Glenn, hes been on fire down there, as well. So this is his opportunity.” When pressed for more, Gibbons acknowledged Pillars behaviour in the eighth inning of Tuesday nights game played a part in the decision. The score was 6-6 at the time. The Jays had loaded the bases with one out. Pillar was due up but the Yankees flame-throwing set-up man, Dellin Betances, was on the mound. Gibbons pinch hit Anthony Gose. Pillar reacted. He stormed into the dugout. Footage shows him angrily tossing his helmet and ripping off his batting gloves as he walked from Gibbonss end of the dugout to the other. He then tossed his bat, underhanded, down the tunnel leading to the clubhouse. “It didnt help him at all,” said Gibbons. “This is a team game, you know. Theres no room for selfish play. But weve been thinking about Glenn for a while now, anyway.” Glenn has given the Blue Jays plenty to ponder. In 113 at-bats with Buffalo since his promotion from Double-A New Hampshire, the 27-year-old has hit .381/.421/.575 with four home runs and eight doubles among his 43 hits. To make room for Glenn on the 40-man roster, the Blue Jays designated infielder Jonathan Diaz for assignment. THE OUTSIDE CORNER Play a baseball game and inevitably someone will have something to say about the home plate umpires strike zone. Pitchers and hitters develop reputations, to the positive or negative, which can influence the way the game is called. What goes less noticed is how one pitch called incorrectly can affect the remainder of an at-bat. Take Colby Rasmuss three-pitch, caught-looking strikeout in the second inning of Tuesday nights 7-6 win over the Yankees. The first pitch was a David Phelps cut fastball off the outside corner of the plate for a called strike. This is the pitch that changed the at-bat. Pitch two: A knuckle-curve Rasmus fouled off. Pitch three: A cut fastball on the inside corner. The pitch crossed the plate, therefore it was a strike. The correct call was made. The problem: Rasmus was forced to adjust his approach after the first pitch to account for the wide strike zone. “Colbys told me he starts gettting bigger to protect and then he starts chasing balls all over the place,” said hitting coach Kevin Seitzer.dddddddddddd “I said, ‘Do not change your zone and if they call it, they call it, but you cant change your zone. Do not expand. If they throw three out there and get called, come back and sit down by me.” When pressed for comment, Rasmus politely declined. Good move on his part - he doesnt need the trouble. Adam Lind has also fallen victim to calls off the outside corner. Its common around the game, certainly not exclusive to the Blue Jays. “They both have really good eyes and they look for pitches on the plate and thats what theyre geared to do mentally and I dont want that to change with any of our hitters,” said Seitzer. “Its just a part of the way games always been. (Umpires) are human. Theyre not perfect. Theyre going to make mistakes. You cant expect them to be perfect but I dont want our hitters to change their zone ever in any way, shape or form.” Both Rasmus and Lind have laid-back personalities. Its rare to see either be demonstrative with an umpire. Seitzer appreciates their respectful approach, but he wants them to converse. If a pitch was off the plate, hes encouraged Rasmus and Lind to let the umpire know. Seitzer will accept from his hitters called third strikes on pitches out of the zone. He firmly believes Rasmus, whos prone to the swing-and-miss, having struck out in 33.5 per cent of his plate appearances this season, ends up offering at pitches he otherwise wouldnt due to frustration. Seitzers been a sounding board for his frustrated charges. “All I can do is be supportive,” said Seitzer. “Youve got a great eye. Its not a pitch you want to go on, so you cant go. And you cant even think that theyre going to go back out there because of what happens there, you get locked up on paint inside.” LINDS FOOT Adam Lind fouled a pitch off his right toe in the seventh inning of Tuesday nights game. “Ouch. Thats what I said,” said Lind. Surely he must have cussed? “It was more just deep breaths.” Lind returned to the starting lineup on Monday for the first time since fouling a pitch off the top of his right foot on June 14 in Baltimore. He had three pinch-hit appearances in the seven games in between. Linds wearing a guard on his shin, which extends to the top of his foot. In Wednesday nights series finale versus the Yankees, Lind made his first start at first base since suffering the injury.
