Napoli Tested Immediately With Red Sox - RealGM Wiretap
Much has been made of Mike Napoli's move to first base with the Red Sox and on the first play of his Grapefruit League season Cheap Jerseys , the ball found him.


Pirates leadoff man Darren Ford opened the game with a push bunt over to Napoli, who fielded it cleanly and raced to the bag, getting the sliding Ford by a split second.


"[Dustin Pedroia] was looking at me and I was like, 'Right out of the chute.' It was funny," he said. "I'm glad I was able to make the play."

"Yeah, it's nice. I feel good," Napoli said. "My BP has been great working in the cage. My hands are working freely right now and I'm going to keep working."

If you are overweight and unfit, would you think it fair and reasonable for your boss to demand you do work that is physically demanding?

If you weighed a lot more than you should then you should be asking yourself, Would I expect myself to be happy running a 160 meter long obstacle course, jumping over obstacles and clambering over high A Frames, or just being made, on a daily basis Cheap Jerseys From China , to climb up and down sets of stairs?

Your answer was probably, No, of course not. Yet in every one of the basic obedience and basic agility courses we run at club, I see people dragging their grossly overweight dog around the field.

It is plain to see the animal is in no way enjoying itself.

When I see this, I ask the owner if there is any medical reason why their dog is carrying all that extra weight and would they be prepared to put their dog on a strict weight loss diet and exercise program.

Shame on you if you have an overweight dog. There is no excuse for it other than the dog is being overfed and under exercised. If you cannot feel the ribs, and cannot see any slimming from behind the rib cage back towards the hips, then you need to reform your ways immediately, because you are killing your dog with kindness.

It is never too late to start a diet and exercise program and for older dogs, you will be doing them a huge favour by ensuring that their achy old bones are not being forced to carry unnecessary blubber.

I currently own 5 border collies Cheap Jerseys Wholesale , with the smallest bitch weighing 18 kilos and the large male weighing 23 kilos. A slim and trim Labrador would not be very much taller than my male but may be a little heavier , maybe around 28 kilograms.

To obtain any benefit from putting your dog on a diet, you need to be totally committed to the program, as must the rest of the family, your neighbours and friends. No point in having a diet if the dog is getting treats and tit bits from everywhere else.

There can be no between meal treats and the feeding of scraps from the dinner table must be stopped. Any other pet food, such as the cats food, should be put out of reach. Do not leave any excess dog food lying around for him to eat later.

Human food must not be left where the dog can reach it and refuse bins must be secured.

It does not matter what type of food you currently use to feed your dog. As long as you start to give the dog less with immediate effect. You must reduce the amount of food being fed to the dog by at least half.

For my dogs, around 1 to 2 cups of a high quality, premium brand Cheap NFL Jerseys China , dry kibble, mixed with half a cup of water, is all they get in a day. I vary the amount fed to them as their weight fluctuates around their ideal weight. Less food if the weight is going up, more if it has come down.

Occasionally they may get an added treat of a spoon of chicken or beef pet mince mixed in with the kibble.

If your dog obedience training program is based on the click and treat training method, then you need to remember to adjust the main meal quantity to take into account the food treats fed to the dog as rewards. If you use a handful of treats, take a handful of food out of the main meal.

Now we are all aware that some form of physical exercise is necessary to burn calories. Humans can do some callisthenics in front of the TV, or do yoga, Thai chee or whatever. Dogs are unable to do this, and an overweight dog will certainly not over exert itself.

You need to get your dog doing more strenuous exercise. Swimming is by far and away the best form of exercise. If you can get your dog in the swimming pool or down to the beach or your local swimming hole by the river then do so Cheap NFL Jerseys , every day. They need to swim for at least 10 minutes a day, every day. It is generally accepted that a 10 minute swim is equivalent to a 10 kilometre walk.

Swimming is known to work every group of skeletal muscles, from head to tail, and If you decide to join your dog on his diet then taking him for a jog will do you both good, but you need to do no less than 10 kilometres a day.

If you ride a bicycle with the dog running next to you, this would allow the dog to move faster and burn more calories in a shorter time frame, but be very careful that your dog is not startled by another dog and pulls you off the bicycle.

Teaching the dog how to run on a treadmill is becoming popular but be sure you buy a unit that will not allow the dogs toes to get caught under the belt. Cut the fur between the toes so he has a better grip on the rubber mat. Maybe.
