Local FROM PAGE 1 juice to him, and that's re- ally good," Raiders coach Tony Sparano said. That juice, and the memory of how electric McFadden was in the good times, has kept the fans on his side. For the most part, a frustrated fan base that has turned on some players still re- veres McFadden. McFadden's No. 20 jer- sey ranks No. 42 in the NFL in sales, the only Raiders player in the top 50. Why the love affair? McFadden believes it's be- cause they understand each other. "Raider fans are some of the most loyal you'll ever come across," McFadden said. "That's the same with me. I'm a loyal person." Raiders FROM PAGE 1 that did not win 90 games. Game 1 is Tuesday in Kan- sas City. The Giants were down to their final six outs when manager Bruce Bochy fired the biggest bullet he has, sending Michael Morse up to pinch-hit for Madison Bumgarner. Morse spent six weeks sidelined with a left oblique strain and had not homered since August 15, but he crushed a hang- ing slider from Pat Neshek over the left field wall. Morse raised both arms the second the ball screamed off the barrel, and he jumped and pumped his first as he crossed first. Af- ter a wild celebration in the dugout, he took to the top step to further incite a deafening crowd. The solo shot was the first pinch-hit homer in Gi- ants postseason history, but the buzz wouldn't last long. Santiago Casilla loaded the bases with two outs in the top of the ninth, but Jer- emy Affeldt entered and got a groundout. The win was pulled out on a night that looked lost for the Giants. Bumgarner was a touch off early and he paid for it. Jon Jay and Matt Hol- liday singled with one out in the first and Jhonny Peralta scorched a liner that looked destined for the left-field corner. But it was hit right at Pablo San- doval, and the third base- man made a leaping grab and then turned and threw a strike to second to double off Jay and get Bumgarner out of trouble. The lefty would be back in a jam in the third, when he walked Tony Cruz and Matt Carpenter. Jay hit a hard liner to left and for the first time, the Giants were reminded that they have a first baseman in the outfield. Travis Ishikawa overran the ball and then made an awkward stab at the ball. It flew past him and rolled to the wall, al- lowing Cruz to score the game's first run. The Giants got the run back in a somewhat shock- ing way in the bottom of the inning. With Gregor Blanco on first, Joe Panik crushed an Adam Wainwright cut- ter into the right field ar- cade, giving the Giants theirfirsthomersinceBran- don Belt's 18th-inning blast in Washington on October 4. The Giants had gone 242 plate appearances between homers, and the basher was an unlikely one. Panik had one homer in 269 regular season at-bats. He became the seventh Gi- ants rookie to homer in a postseason game and the first since Buster Posey in 2010. Wainwright settled in after the Panik homer, and the Cardinals put him right back on top an inning later. Matt Adams continued his impressive postseason, hitting a solo shot off Bumgarner, who had not given up a homer to a lefty since April 11. Adams has taken Bumgar- ner and Clayton Kershaw deep this postseason. Tony Cruz crushed a slider out to left three batters later, giving the Cardinals the lead. They became the first team to hit two hom- ers off Bumgarner at AT&T Park since the Padres did it June 19, 2013. Giants FROM PAGE 1 Hockey games can turn on strange things and this one pivoted on a play where Brent Burns did the right thing and wound up with the wrong result. With San Jose holding a 2-1 lead in the third pe- riod, Burns broke his stick while trying to clear the puck out of his zone and away from the attacking Islanders. He then used his glove instead, throw- ing the puck behind him only to have it sail over the glass behind the Sharks bench for a delay of game penalty. "Hockey — what do you do?," Burns said. "I was in the zone and knew I could use my hand. I don't know how it got up." Fourteen second later, the Islanders tied the game on Okposo's goal and less than three minutes after that, Bailey gave New York its first lead at 3-2. Coach Todd McLellan didn't fault Burns, but he did have a problem with that sequence. Sharks FROM PAGE 1 By Howard Ulman TheAssociatedPress FOXBOROUGH, MASS. Tom Brady threw three touch- down passes to lead the New England Patriots to a 27-25 victory over the New York Jets that came down to the last play. Chris Jones blocked Nick Folk's 58-yard field goal attempt and the de- fensive tackle's teammates rushed onto the field to celebrate their surpris- ingly tough win Thursday night. It was Folk's first miss of the season after he boosted his total to 13 straight with four field goals in the first half. The Jets (1-6) suffered their sixth straight loss, the longest streak in Rex Ryan's six seasons as coach, after taking a 19-17 lead with just under 9 minutes left in the third quarter on Chris Ivory's 1-yard run.
