McCoy, a defensive tackle from Oklahoma selected with the third overall pick of April's draft, reportedly agreed to a five-year deal.

In addition, the Buccaneers have also worked out a six-year extension for offensive tackle Donald Penn.

Ray completed 25-of-34 pass attempts with one interception for Edmonton (1-4), which was off to its worst start since 1965. Kelly Campbell and Andre Talbot each pulled in a touchdown pass, while Fred Stamps had 118 yards receiving. Noel Prefontaine made 4-of-5 field goals in the victory.

Travis Lulay, making his second CFL start, threw for 134 yards and rushed for 62 more and a score for BC (1-4), which dropped its fourth game in a row following a season-opening win over Edmonton.

Svetlana Abrosimova contributed 13 points for the Storm, who won their 13th straight game and improved to 13-0 at home this season. Sue Bird had 11 points and eight assists in the triumph.

Asjha Jones scored 16 points to lead the Sun, who lost for the third time in four games. Connecticut also got 13 points from DeMya Walker and 12 from Sandrine Gruda, but lost as it committed 23 turnovers, leading to 27 Atlanta points.

Wood last pitched on July 11 before landing on the DL with a blister on his right index finger.

It was the second disabled list stint in 2010 for Wood, who began the season on the DL with a back strain.

Baltimore announced prior to Thursday's game it had hired Buck Showalter to serve as the team's new manager, although the former Yankees, Diamondbacks and Rangers skipper won't officially take over until the Orioles return from their current road trip on Tuesday. Baltimore fired field general Dave Trembley on June 4, with interim manager Juan Samuel having gone 17-31 since assuming those duties.

This has certainly been a forgettable season for Brad Bergesen, as the Baltimore right-hander is 3-9 with a lofty 6.95 ERA. He has allowed 125 hits through 88 innings and has only struck out 35 batters. On Monday, he permitted eight earned runs on 10 hits in five innings pitched against the White Sox.

Leblanc was the 18th overall choice in the 2009 NHL Entry Draft.

The 6-foot-1, 184-pound led Harvard in goals (11), assists (12), and points (23) as a freshman in 2009-10. For his efforts, Leblanc was named Ivy League Rookie of the Year.

Earlier Friday, the 26-year-old Wisniewski put pen to paper on a one-year contract for the upcoming season.

"We see James as a key addition to our team and we feel our fans will connect with his style of play," said Islanders general manager Garth Snow. "He is a solid puck-moving defenseman who can bring an added element of toughness to our blue-line." Wisniewski enjoyed a breakout season in 2009-10, setting personal bests in assists (27) and points (30) while playing 69 games for the Ducks.

Ljungberg, who joined Seattle last season from Arsenal of the English Premier League, becomes the first designated player ever traded in Major League Soccer.

The 33-year-old midfielder is the Fire's second DP aquisition this season, after Mexican international Nery Castillo was announced earlier this week.

Real Salt Lake (9-4-4), which trails the Los Angeles Galaxy by nine points in the Western Conference, cannot afford to let any more points slip away when it hosts D.C. United (3-11-3) on Saturday night at Rio Tinto Stadium.

"We pick each other up, we don't need to panic at all," Rimando said. "We're still moving up so next week we'll look to get three points against D.C." Rimando made the mistake one week after Real's 10-game unbeaten run ended in a 2-0 loss to FC Dallas, and now the Utah squad is trying to avoid a three-match winless streak.

Sadler, the last driver to make his qualifying attempt in the 38-truck field, knocked his fellow Sprint Cup Series competitor Kasey Kahne from the top spot after posting a lap of 162.602 m.p.h. He claimed his first career truck pole in his seventh start.

"It was tough, and it was fun," Sadler said. "I got a little free through there, but [turn] three was fast." The series revised its qualifying format for Pocono, with Friday's practice speeds determining the qualifying order. The slowest truck went first, and the fastest, which was Sadler, came out last. Trucks were released in 25-second increments.

Vettel set a blistering lap of one minute, 18.773 seconds around the 2.722- mile, 16-turn Hungaroring course for his seventh pole of the season and the 12th of his Formula One career. Red Bull continued its domination in qualifying this season by claiming its 11th pole in the first 12 grand prix.

"It was a very good day for us," Vettel said. "All weekend here we felt very comfortable from the first practice session onwards with the car. I think we were able to improve on it again a little bit overnight." Vettel was 0.4 seconds quicker than Webber. It's the sixth all front row for Red Bull this year.

The second-seeded Almagro earned a 7-6 (9-7), 3-6, 6-3 victory over fellow Spaniard Daniel Gimeno-Traver, while the seventh-seeded Gasquet advanced with a 6-3, 6-4 triumph over Kazakhstan's Yuri Schukin.

Almagro needed to save a set point in the first-set tiebreaker before winning it, but Gimeno-Traver saved a pair of break-point chances against his serve in the second set and converted one of his two to even the match. Almagro then opened a quick 3-0 lead in the third and closed out the match in two hours to advance to his second ATP final in the past three events.

Stosur outlasted seventh-seeded Belgian Yanina Wickmayer 7-5, 3-6, 6-3. Stosur, who lost to Francesca Schiavone in the finale at Roland Garros, is playing her first tournament since breaking into the top five.

Belarusian Victoria Azarenka, the eighth seed, took down defending champion and fourth-seeded Marion Bartoli 3-6, 6-3, 6-3. Bartoli of France surprised American star Venus Williams in last year's finale here. Azarenka will battle Stosur in Saturday's semifinals.

Fisher, who fired a tournament-record-matching 61 on Friday, finished 54 holes at 12-under 201 at Killarney Golf & Fishing Club and is one stroke ahead of Chris Wood (66) and Francesco Molinari (69).

Gonzalo Fernandez-Castano was one back until he double-bogeyed the 18th hole. He shot a three-under 68 and is alone in fourth place at minus-10.

Langer, who is coming off a win last week at the Senior British Open, completed 36 holes at three-under-par 137.

The German is trying to become the first player to win back-to-back majors on the Champions Tour since Tom Watson won the Senior British Open and the JELD- WEN Tradition in 2003.

Because as a boxing fan, writer or mildly interested bystander, it's hard not to like Juan Diaz.

He's a good young kid. Articulate. Smart. A great role model.

Because after a seven-day stretch that's included more than 2,000 road miles over four states and two time zones - not to mention a pair of multi-hour plane rides, stays in three hotels and what seemed like 100 hours of convention events - I'm a little short on patience.

So when I began making notes to create this week's column in the lobby of yet another lodging establishment in lovely Macon, Ga. - free wireless coverage at La Quinta Inns & Suites rocks, by the way - I was already on the prowl for someone to tear into.

Trained by Bob Baffert, Lookin At Lucky will be making his first start since winning the Preakness on May 15. The 2009 champion two-year-old male will be ridden by Martin Garcia who guided the colt to victory in the middle jewel of the Triple Crown. The pair will start from the inside post.

Lookin At Lucky, owned by Mike Pegram, Karl Watson and Paul Weitman, finished sixth as the 6-1 favorite in the Kentucky Derby when he also broke from the one hole.

Heading the field is Belmont Stakes runner-up Fly Down. The chestnut colt, trained by Nick Zito, will be making his first start since the Belmont and will start from the far outside post with Jose Lezcano aboard.

"He's coming off a 1 1/2-mile race," Zito said Monday. "Obviously, we know his fitness level. We're hoping he's a little sharp for the race. He's a very good horse. He looks good." Owned by Richard Pell, Fly Down has won two of four starts this year, including the Dwyer Stakes at Belmont Park on May 8. In his career the colt has won three of six starts and $382,070.
