CHICAGO -- David DeJesus and his wife were going out to get a healthy drink on Monday when the outfielder saw he had missed a call from Chicago Cubs executive Theo Epstein. Kim DeJesus joked that he had been traded. It turns out she was right. The Nationals acquired DeJesus in a deal with the Cubs, bolstering their bench for a late run at a playoff spot. It made for a strange day for DeJesus, who merely need to move over to the visitors clubhouse at Wrigley Field to join to his new team. "Its one of those moments, youre like, Whoa, and time stops," DeJesus said before Washington opened a four-game series at Chicago. "I look over at my wife and shes crying because she grew up in Wheaton, Illinois, 45 minutes from Wrigley Field. Its a surreal moment, it was kind of throwing me off. "But coming over here, seeing the guys and meeting the guys, its been a help. Cant wait to get the game over with - hopefully after a win - and go home and decompress a little bit." DeJesus hit .250 with six homers and 27 RBIs in 84 games with the Cubs, who began the day in last in the NL Central. His new team is on the edge of the playoff race -- the Nationals were 9 1/2 games back of Cincinnati for the NLs second wild-card slot coming into the series -- but DeJesus was excited for the opportunity. "Im going to give it my all," he said. "Try and be a guy out there as a leader and a guy that young guys can learn from." The 33-year-old DeJesus is a career .279 hitter with 86 homers and 513 RBIs in 11 seasons with Kansas City, Oakland and Chicago. He can play all three outfield spots. "Hes a great addition," Nationals manager Davey Johnson said. "Hes a quality player. Anybody gets hurt, he can step right in and play at a high level." DeJesus was one of the first acquisitions for the Cubs after Epstein became the president of baseball operations. He agreed to a $10 million, two-year contract in November 2011. The Cubs get a player to be named in the trade with the Nationals, but they also save about $2.5 million, including a $1.5 million buyout for a 2014 team option worth $6.5 million. General manager Jed Hoyer said the money was a "strong consideration." "We really like David a lot," Hoyer said. "Ive told his agent and Theo told David directly, wed be willing to talk to him about bringing him back at some point. Hes a good mentor for our younger guys." The Cubs activated outfielder Brian Bogusevic from the 15-day disabled list to take DeJesus roster spot, and Hoyer said outfielder Ryan Sweeney likely will begin a rehab stint next week. Bogusevic had been out with a strained left hamstring, and Sweeney is recovering from a broken left rib. The Nationals released outfielder Roger Bernardina to make room on their roster. Bernardina hit .178 in 85 games with Washington.Kenta Maeda Jersey .com) - Rafael Nadal, Andy Murray and Roger Federer were easy first-round winners Tuesday at the Australian Open.

Alex GoodeHis kicking and running makes him a great threat from full-back and his tackle on Peter Betham prevented the Tigers from getting back in the game, having set up Sean Maitland for a try earlier.14.Semesa RokoduguniPossibly Englands answer to?Nemani Nadolo, as the winger was exciting to watch during Baths win. His stunning try at the end and his weaving past players was exciting to watch.13. Joe MarchantHe was impressive to watch in Quins victory, which included a 70-metre intercept try. Although just 20 he is taking every chance given to him at Harlequins.12. Ben TeoA recent call-up to the England team was followed by a brilliant performance in defeat to Harlequins. He was a constant threat, rampaging through the Worcester defence, players bouncing off him, while his footwork was equally impressive.11. Tim VisserAn interception saw Visser run 60 metres to set up Danny Care for the opening try for Quins. He grabbed a try in the final moments having had an earlier chalked off after obstruction from Care.10 Owen FarrellHis main rival for the England spot number 10 shirt, George Ford, had a difficult game from the kicking tee was 0/2 from the boot while Farrell was exquisite once more. With the Irish & Welsh fly-halves rested, he didnt have much competition.9 Danny CareHe was outstanding in providing quick ball to the Harlequins backs and provided an option to snipe around the breakdown. Very lively and added a try in their victory at Bristol.FORWARDS1. Mako VunipolaOn a day where both Joe Marler and Vunipola were both sin-binned, the Saracens front row gets the nod with another immense display, with pressure at the breakdown creating the penalty which led to his brothers try.dddddddddddd2. Jamie GeorgeShould injuries to other key player occur, George could be a more than adequate replacement. His work was done by the time Saracens subbed him in the second-half, as they led comfortably.3. Mike RossIf the former Harlequins front row continues his form, he could win a surprise inclusion. He would need to get back into the Irish set up. His pace has always been an issue, but his scrummaging has been key for Leinster.4. Joe LaunchburyAnother man of the match performance for Launchbury is set to give him a brilliant platform for claiming a starting birth for England.?His ball-carrying in attack and his resolute defending were evident in Wasps win.5. Dave AttwoodHe was outstanding for Bath, in defence and in driving forward. He was ever present in defence and attack and one reason why they kept Exeter to a solitary try.6. Peter OMahonyConsidering it was his first 80 minutes back for Munster, it was an impressive outing, as he carried well and as expected, put his body on the line continuously.7. Sean OBrienAnother Irishman making a comeback after a long lay-off through injury, OBrien did well against Connacht, despite a yellow card.8.Billy VunipolaImpressive once more for Sarries as he crashed over for their third try of the game. He was in devastating form as he made 24 carries and driving Ben Youngs back was another highlight in defence.Cheap Jerseys China NFL Jerseys Cheap NBA Jerseys [url=http://ws
