JACKSONVILLE, Fla. -- Denard Robinson has a new T-shirt hanging in his locker that he plans to wear under his Jacksonville Jaguars jersey this season.It contains a simple message, one few people will ever see and even fewer would understand.Be Like Carlos.For Robinson, though, it means everything. The former Michigan All-American is mourning the death of one of his best friends, 25-year-old Carlos Senluis. Senluis was shot and killed in a road rage incident in Deerfield Beach earlier this month, and Robinson is still trying to cope with the loss.He was like a brother to me, Robinson said Tuesday. I grew up with him. His mom was my mom. My mom was his mom. He would hang out at my house without me being there, and I could do that same with his family. Thats how close we were.Robinson missed one day of training camp to attend Senluis funeral, but was unable to make a public tribute at Deerfield Beach High School, where Robinson was a football/track superstar and Senluis was a standout baseball player.So Robinson has something of his own planned. A college quarterback turned NFL running back, Robinson plans to dedicate his first touchdown this season to the memory of his friend and give the ball to Senluis mother.He knows it wont take away the pain, but he hopes the gesture will be another reminder of how much he loved and misses his friend.Its been tough, Robinson said. Just seeing somebody that you really care about gone and then you see his mom. Shes like my mom.According to the Broward Sheriffs Office, Senluis and a passenger, another close friend of Robinsons, were driving home on Aug. 5 around 10:30 p.m. when Senluis apparently flashed his headlights at another car. The driver of the other car, 28-year-old Clarck Paul, followed Senluis home and then opened fire into the car after an unprovoked exchange.After shooting Senluis, Paul drove to North Lauderdale, where he shot and killed another man. Investigators believe Paul, who has a lengthy criminal record, was on his way to kill the second man because he was a witness in a separate attempted murder.The shootings took place about half an hour apart that Friday night, detectives said.Robinson had just finished a scrimmage at EverBank Field when he got the call that Senluis had been shot. Robinson called his brothers -- he has five of them -- and asked them to go help. They obliged, but there was little they could do.Senluis, who played college baseball at New Mexico Junior College and then Florida Memorial University in Miami, was rushed to a local hospital and pronounced dead.Paul was arrested a few hours later and jailed on two murder charges.Robinson practiced the next day with a heavy heart and has offered to help however the family needs.Carlos mom said this to me and its something that stood out, Robinson said. Paul gets to breathe. He gets to talk to his mom again. He gets to still lift weights and do different things while her son is in the grave.

PHILADELPHIA -- The Philadelphia Phillies are showing a glimpse of the future during the seasons last few weeks.With all the September call-ups now in Philadelphia, the team trotted out a young lineup Wednesday night with the oldest player on the lineup card all of 27 years old in catcher Cameron Rupp. It looks like the Phillies will continue to let some new players get comfortable in the big leagues, including when they close out a series with Pittsburgh at 7:05 p.m. Thursday night.One of the most recent additions for the Phillies has been center fielder Roman Quinn, who has six hits through his first four major league games. After going hitless in his debut Sunday, the 23-year-old has had three consecutive two-hit games, including a 2-for-5 showing Wednesday with a double.He also threw out a runner at home plate in the ninth inning of the Phillies 6-2 victory on Wednesday night.Hes an aggressive hitter, Phillies manager Pete Mackanin said of Quinn. He can run. He can throw. He covers a lot of ground in the outfield and its a good first impression in the big leagues.The Phillies offense is also getting production from 26-year-old Freddy Galvis, who has found his power stroke recently. Galvis hit his 19th homer of the season Wednesday night, his eighth in 24 games.Philadelphia is looking for a win in the four-game series, while Pittsburgh is trying to avoid sinking further into a tailspin that has dropped the team six games out of a National League Wild Card spot. The Pirates have lost 13 of 16 and sit four games below .500 at 70-74.In those 16 games, the Pirates have been helld to two runs or less six times, including Wednesday when they grounded into a trio of inning-ending double plays.ddddddddddddWe hit into three double plays on the night, and unfortunately thats been a common theme, Pirates manager Clint Hurdle said. If you dont meet the demands of the game, you put yourself in positions to lose. We had opportunities to meet those demands but we didnt do it.The Phillies are sending one of their most-seasoned starters to the mound in the series finale. Jerad Eickhoff will face the Pirates for the first time in his career.Eickhoff, 26, is in his second major league season and will be making his 30th start of the season for the Phillies. He has a 3.73 ERA on the season and has been consistent in his last five starts -- all of which have lasted exactly six innings. Eickhoff dealt six scoreless innings against the Nationals in his last start, but left with a no decision.He will be opposed by one of the potential Pirates arms of the future in Chad Kuhl. A 24-year-old rookie, Kuhl enters his 11th major league start with a 4.09 ERA.Kuhl had a rough start his last time out, surrendering three runs on four hits and three walks in just two innings against the Cardinals on Sept. 5. The Pirates skipped his turn in the rotation after the start.Kuhl will be pitching near where he grew up. The right-hander is from Bear, Del. and played high school baseball in Middletown, Del., a town just about 60 miles southwest of Philadelphia. ' ' '
