COLUMBUS, Ohio -- Dominic Oduro gave Columbus the early lead, Federico Higuain converted a penalty kick to in the second half and the Crew cruised to a 3-0 victory over the short-handed Chicago Fire on Saturday night. Oduro took a ball from Jairo Arrieta on the right side of the box in the 15th minute and fired into the far corner for his team-best 11th goal. The Fire (11-12-6) went down a man in the 29th minute when Bakary Soumare was ejected for his challenge of Arrieta just outside the penalty area. Arrieta was tackled by goalkeeper Sean Johnson in the 70th minute and Higuain converted from the spot. Bernardo Anor made it 3-0 in the 76th as the Crew (11-14-5) won their second straight. "We hit the post. We hit the crossbar. We had opportunities," Fire midfielder Jeff Larentowicz said. "Overall its just not good enough." The Crew have won three of four under interim coach Brian Bliss and are eighth with 38 points in the Eastern Conference, but are only two points behind New England for the fifth and final playoff spot. "The change in attitude is that we know we can still make the playoffs," Oduro said. Chicago dropped from fifth into a tie for sixth with Philadelphia at 39 points. The Crew have four matches left, while Chicago, New England and Philadelphia have five. Oduro said getting back into the playoff hunt was more important than scoring against the club that traded him in February. "It felt good but its not our main focus," he said. "Our main focus is getting three points. That (goal) was icing on the cake." Yeezy Boost 350 Lyserød Dame Adidas Sko . -- Al Jefferson found a groove just in time for the Charlotte Bobcats.

The Toronto Argonauts quarterback hurt the joint in last weeks 35-14 home loss to the Calgary Stampeders. Hell be out approximately six weeks after partially tearing the teres major muscle when he was taken down hard to the turf by defensive lineman Charleston Hughes. "As he hit me and I was falling down, I felt my arm above my head and kind of knew it wasnt going to be good," Ray told reporters Friday. "When I got slammed down I knew right away something wasnt right. "Its frustrating to be out this long but youve just got to try and stay in it mentally." The good news, though, is Ray, who suffered a separated shoulder in 2007 with Edmonton, wont require surgery. "Any time you dont have to have surgery on something, its a nice thing to hear," Ray said. "As bad as it was knowing I was going to be out an extended period of time its comforting to know its going to heal on its own and nothing else is required to get it fixed." Hughes has been the recipient of threats from irate fans for his hit on Ray. On Thursday, Argos head coach Scott Milanovich said there was nothing wrong about Hughes hit, a belief supported by Ray. "Thats unfortunate, I felt like it was a clean hit and its physical," Ray said. "Hes just trying to get in there and put a hit on the quarterback. "I was just scrambling out and he got a good hit on me from the backside and I just felt awkwardly." With Ray on the sidelines, sophomore Zach Collaros becomes Torontos starter and will lead the Argos (5-3) against the Montreal Alouettes (3-5) at Rogers Centre on Tuesday night. Collaros led Toronto to a 38-12 home win over B.C. earlier this season when Ray was out with a knee injury. Ray said hell be readily accessible for Collaros but wont constantly be talking to the young quarterback. "My philosophy is Im not going to just be in his ear all the time," Ray said. "I wouldnt want somebody there after every ball I throw being like, Oh, did you see that? "When I play, I like to just focus on what Im doing and if I have a question Ill ask it and try and get help. Im just trying to be there so if he have a question for me I can answer it for him . . . he knows how to play the quarterback position and can play it pretty well. Im just there as an extra set of eyes to help him out when he does come with a question." Losing Ray will be a big blow to Torontos offence. Thhe 33-year-old has completed 148-of-189 passes (78.dddddddddddd.3 per cent) this season for 1,824 yards with 15 TDs and no interceptions. Ray was especially sharp in his four last starts, completing 69-of-79 passes (87.3 per cent) for 907 yards and nine TDs before his injury. Ray anchors the CFLs top passing attack (320.6 yards per game) and the Argos are third in scoring, averaging 30.5 points. Collaros certainly impressed against B.C. in his CFL starting debut. After a full week of working with the starting offence, Collaros completed 21-of-25 passes for 253 yards and three TDs while adding 28 yards rushing in the July 30 victory. Collaros was forced to come in cold off the bench against Calgary and wasnt as sharp, finishing 16-of-26 passing for 221 yards with an interception -- Torontos first this season. Collaros definitely brings a different skillset to Torontos offence than Ray. The former Cincinnati Bearcats star is a very mobile quarterback and isnt afraid to use his arm and legs to make plays. Ray is a more traditional dropback quarterback who has pinpoint accuracy. Ray is confident Torontos offence wont skip a beat with Collaros taking the snaps. "Hes a good player," Ray said. "You see the skills he has to make plays, extend plays out of the pocket. "Hes a smart kid, to, he knows how to get through his progressions and be accurate with the football and make plays in the pocket. He also has that extra ability to make plays outside the pocket." Ray was very durable during his nine seasons in Edmonton, missing just six regular-season starts. Ray has been forced to deal with more injuries -- and subsequently miss more playing time -- since coming to Toronto prior to the 2012 campaign. The good news for the Argos, though, is after missing three starts last year with a knee injury, Ray made a triumphant return and anchored Torontos late-season march to a Grey Cup title. "As an athlete you dont want to get hurt . . . but what can you do about it?" Ray said. "Its not like theres a quick fix for preventing injuries. "Its a physical game and sometimes it just happens." If theres a silver lining to this latest injury, its forced Ray to learn more about the muscles of the shoulder. Before now, he admits hed never heard of the teres major. "No, I didnt," he said with a chuckle. "They were talking about the rotator cuff and I thought that was one muscle but I guess its like four different muscles "Anatomy is not my strong suit."
