Oakland coach Tom Cable hopes the critics stick around and points to early-season losses at Ari- zona and San Francisco as examples for why they should. ‘‘For one, we haven’t done anything yet,’’ Cable said. ‘‘Those two things gnaw at you because you kind of know what your team should be, but we’re not. We have got to keep grinding and fighting and going to work and cutting it loose and doing what we do. If I ever feel like we lose sight of that, I’ll reel them back in.’’ The Raiders’ schedule gets considerably tougher from here on out. After Pittsburgh, they host Miami then go on the road against Jacksonville and Denver followed by home games against Indi- anapolis and Kansas City.

Cornerback Nnamdi Asomugha (ankle), tight end Zach Miller (arch) and defensive tackle John Henderson all returned to practice, albeit limited. All three are expected to play in Pittsburgh barring a setback. The news wasn’t as encouraging on wide receiver Darrius Heyward- Bey. Heyward-Bey strained a hamstring dur- ing the bye week and was held out of Wednesday’s workout. ‘‘It’s just sore,’’ Cable said. ‘‘It’s a real slight sprain, it’s not real seri- ous. But it’s one of those things where if you push it too much too quick it could become serious, so we’re trying to take care of this a little bit.’’ GP W L OT Pts GF GA Washington 19 14 4 1 29 7049 Tampa Bay 18 9 7 2 20 5256 Carolina 18 9 9 0 18 5861 Atlanta 19 7 9 3 17 5869 Florida 16 8 8 0 16 4640 WESTERN CONFERENCE Central Division GP W L OT Pts GF GA Detroit 16 12 3 1 25 5840 St. Louis 17 9 5 3 21 4447 Chicago 20 9 9 2 20 5759 Columbus 15 9 6 0 18 4138 Nashville 16 7 6 3 17 4248 Northwest Division GP W L OT Pts GF GA Vancouver 18 10 5 3 23 5546 Minnesota 17 9 6 2 20 4039 Colorado 17 9 7 1 19 5953 Calgary 16 7 9 0 14 4649 Edmonton 16 4 9 3 11 4266 Pacific Division GP W L OT Pts GF GA Los Angeles16 12 4 0 24 5034 Anaheim 21 10 8 3 23 5261 San Jose 16 9 5 2 20 4840 Phoenix 17 7 5 5 19 4753 Dallas 16 9 7 0 18 4845 NOTE: Two points for a win, one point for overtime loss.

Ron Garden- hire became a first-time Manager of the Year, too, after so many near miss- es. A month after his San Diego Padres were knocked out of the playoff chase on the final day, Black nudged Cincin- nati’s Dusty Baker by one point for the NL award Wednesday. ‘‘I guess this vote was sort of like our season, it came down to the wire,’’ Black said on a conference call. Gardenhire was the clear choice in the American League, earning the honor after five times as the runner-up. He led Minnesota to its sixth AL Cen- tral title in nine seasons. ‘‘Congrats to the best manager in bestball!’’ Twins center fielder Denard Span tweeted. ‘‘Way overdue!’’ Span tweeted an apology moments later for misspelling baseball. Said Gardenhire: ‘‘It’s pretty neat to have your name mentioned up there.’’ Black was selected after guiding San Diego to a 15-game turnaround despite the second-lowest payroll in the majors. The Padres finished 90-72 and led the NL West until a late, 10- game slump and then a loss to San Francisco on the last day eliminated them. Black drew 16 first-place votes in balloting by the Baseball Writers’ Association of America and got 104 points. Baker had 13 first-place votes and 103 points. Bruce Bochy of the World Series champion San Francisco Giants, Atlanta’s retiring Bobby Cox and Philadelphia’s Charlie Manuel got the other first-place votes. ‘‘This was a great year in the NL,’’ said Black, who was on a golf course near San Diego when he got the word. ‘‘I guess this vote could’ve gone either way. I feel fortunate that I won. All these guys are so deserving.’’ Baker, a three-time Manager of the Year, led the NL Central champion Reds to their first playoff spot since 1995. He was listed on 27 of the 32 ballots while Black was picked on 26. ‘‘I’m not terribly disappointed because I didn’t expect it,’’ Baker told The Associated Press. ‘‘Buddy did a great job.’’ Baker was in the mountains of Cal- ifornia when he heard the vote totals. The announcement came on the one- year anniversary of his father’s death. ‘‘When I woke up today, I was thinking about my dad, not the award,’’ Baker said. ‘‘He’d be proud of me.’’ This marked the third time that the NL Manager of the Year was decided by a single point. There was a tie for the AL honor in 1996 between Joe Torre and Johnny Oates. Two BBWAA voters from every league city send in three top choices when the regular season ends. Votes were counted on a 5-3-1 basis. Gardenhire drew 16 first-place votes and 108 points, and was the only AL manager listed on all 28 ballots. Ron Washington, who started the year with a cocaine admission and ended it with Texas’ first trip to the World Series, was next in the AL with 10 first-place votes and 81 points. Tampa Bay’s Joe Maddon and Toron- to’s retiring Cito Gaston drew the other first-place votes. ‘‘It’s pretty cool,’’ Gardenhire said on a conference call from Florida. The last time a manager won the award without making the playoffs was 2006, when Joe Girardi got it with Florida. The pitching-rich Padres were a surprise all season, and led the division by 6 1/2 games on Aug. 25. But San Diego’s inability to hit proved to be its downfall. Needing a win to keep playing, San Diego lost 3-0 at San Francisco on the last day and tarnished the year — ‘‘162 defines your season,’’ Black summed up. Patrick frustrated by results in 1st NASCAR season MIAMI BEACH, Fla. (AP) — With a handshake as firm as a wrench, Danica Patrick greets a guest, then quickly takes a seat on the couch in her 18th-floor hotel suite. The windows look south upon the ocean meeting a sun-splashed beach, but Patrick doesn’t give a glance. Now that she has reached the pinnacle of her sport in popu- larity, she’s often too busy to enjoy the view. Patrick’s always going 200 mph, and it’s by choice. This year she added 13 Nationwide dates to her IndyCar schedule, and she concludes her rookie NASCAR season this weekend an hour south of South Beach at Homestead- Miami Speedway. The results, she concedes, have left her crying on a few friendly shoulders. Her average Nation- wide finish has been 29th. She has yet to crack the top 20 and in the past four races settled for 36th, 30th, 27th and 32nd. ‘‘I give myself As and Fs all the time,’’ Patrick says. ‘‘I’m feeling comfortable in the car now. Just the simple things of how to start the car, all the fans, different things — that’s so much less over- whelming to me than it was in the first couple of months. This race stretch has been good to get com- fortable. Unfortunately we haven’t had the results.’’ The poor showings have weighed on Patrick on and off the track. ‘‘Usually it’s more like sadness and frustration that comes out in the form of crying on a shoulder,’’ she says. ‘‘It’s hard. I want to do well. I want to impress people. I want to show I can do it.’’ Patrick denies she’s stretched too thin and rejects the idea she should have honed her stock-car skills in lower series. ‘‘I don’t think I bit off more than I can chew at all,’’ she says. ‘‘Nationwide was where I wanted to go and where everyone recom- mended I go as well. Drivers told me to do it.’’ Despite a series of disappoint- ing finishes, business remains brisk. Patrick continues to take advantage of her popularity with lucrative endorsement deals and also finds time for community ser- vice.
