TORONTO - After yet another failed run at the MLS playoffs, Toronto FC is freezing prices for existing season ticket-holders, as long as they renew by Dec. 15.Last season, Toronto FC embarked on an aggressive plan to put this club on a path to success and make the playoffs in 2014, but despite our best efforts, we fell short, GM Tim Bezbatchenko said in an email to ticket-holders. With that said, important strides were made towards our long-term goals and we are excited about building on that progress.We also promised you that renewal pricing would be tied to the teams performance. With that commitment in mind, we are pleased to tell you that you can renew your season seats for the same prices as last season up until Dec. 15th.In one example, a season ticket would cost $760 prior to the deadline and $950 afterwards.A club spokesman said the total price for existing season tickets — before the deadline — ranges from $190 to $1,596 for a non-premium seat with some 29 price points.The prices for a new season ticket-buyer ranges from $342 to $1,273 before Feb. 6 and $380 to $1,402 after.Single ticket prices have yet to be determined.Despite spending millions on designated players Jermain Defoe, Michael Bradley and Brazils Gilberto, Toronto (11-15-8) failed to make the playoffs for the eighth straight year since entering the league in 2007.Two seasons ago, the club rolled back season ticket prices to the 2007 level because of poor performance on the field. The freeze continued last season — for those already holding season tickets — with the club delaying the date to renew so they could see the off-season signings.The big-ticket additions did boost total 2014 attendance to 375,463 fans to BMO Field, up 30,928 over the previous franchise record of 344,535 set in 2011.Toronto averaged 22,086 a game this season, second only to the Seattle Sounders (43,734) and well above the league average of 19,147.The club had a record 17,000 season tickets in 2014 with a waiting list of 3,500. Toronto had 14,600 season ticket-holders in 2013.Maple Leaf Sports & Entertainment is biting the bullet with the temporary ticket freeze given it is sinking $95 million in stadium renovations.With the first phase of renovations already underway, BMO Field will be a world-class home to match our vision of being a world-class club, Bezbatchenko said in his letter to ticket-holders. In 2016, a canopy will be installed over the stadium that will not only protect our fans from the elements, but also make BMO Field one of the loudest buildings in MLS.While the renovations to BMO Field are an important part of our commitment to you, we know that the improvements you care most about are on the pitch and that is where we are most focused. Toronto FC has a core roster now that is much improved and is only going to be stronger as a result of their experience together last season.Our goal is within reach and we are working tirelessly this off-season to build on our progress and deliver you a winning side.Follow @NeilMDavidson on Twitter Cheap Air Jordan 3 Canada .DeMarco Murray got his 20th carry late in the fourth quarter with a 10-point lead, not long after Dez Bryant made his final catch of the day.Sure enough, a 44-17 win over Washington didnt change Dallas post-season position.

Scott Kazmir threw six sharp innings before leaving with tightness in his left triceps, and Yoenis Cespedes hit a two-run homer that broke a scoreless tie in the eighth that lifted the As over the Seattle Mariners 3-0 Sunday. Kazmir called it was "a very, very minor" injury. He said it wont cause him to miss a start, but the As have reason to be cautionary. This spring the club lost staff ace Jarrod Parker to season-ending elbow surgery and A.J. Griffin is sidelined for perhaps the first two months with a strained forearm. Oaklands staff has an AL-leading 2.17 ERA. "Its exciting to have guys follow up a quality start, one after another, one through five. It really is exciting," Kazmir said. "We just want to keep going out there and keep making quality pitches and quality outings, all of us." Kazmir pitched two-hit ball, striking out nine without a walk. As manager Melvin said that the first time he noticed Kazmir was affected by the tightness was at the end of the sixth. Kazmir had a similar issue during training camp, missing one start with triceps tightness. "Everything checked out as far as his strengthening and what he does after a game," Melvin said. "He wanted to go back out but you have to be careful with a guy like that." Mariners star Robinson Cano said Kazmir was exceptionally tough. "He was making guys chase his slider and throwing the heater at 95," Cano said. Cespedes pulled a 2-2 slider from Charlie Furbush (0-1) into the left-field bullpen. Cespedes second homer of the season came after Jed Lowrie drew a leadoff walk. Josh Donaldson added a solo home run in the ninth, his third, off Lucas Luetge. Dan Otero (2-0) retired two batters in the seventh. Luke Gregerson worked the eighth and Sean Doolittle allowed one hit in the ninth for his first save. Chris Young made his first start since Sept. 9, 2012, while with the New York Mets. Troubled by shoulder problems all last season, he went to spring camp this year with the Nationals, was released and signed during the last week of training camp by Seattle. Young pitched six shutout innnings, giving up four hits.ddddddddddddHe walked three and struck out two. Youngs other outing for Seattle was a two-inning scoreless stint in relief. "I was really, really pleased with his outing," Mariners manager Lloyd McClendon said. "He got a lot of flyball outs, teased them up in the zone a bit. I think he is close. I saw his breaking ball coming today. When that pitch comes for him, hes going to be pretty tough." Kazmir didnt allow a runner and struck out six the first time through the lineup. The Mariners got back-to-back, one-out singles by Brad Miller and Cano in the fourth, but Kazmir retired Corey Hart on a grounder and struck out Justin Smoak with a 78 mph changeup. The Mariners only other scoring threat came with two outs in the sixth when Brad Miller sent right fielder Eric Sogard to the wall to bring down his flyball. Cano, who singled in the fourth, has a 14-game hitting streak against Oakland dating to Sept. 22, 2012. NOTES: Seattle manager Lloyd McClendon isnt sure about Major League Baseballs expanded replay format. "Im really worried about where were heading with replays, the effect its having on the game, the effect its having on the fans," McClendon said. "Its confusing." McClendon is concerned about the outfield transfer rule, when umpires look to be sure fielders successfully switch the ball from the glove to their hands. The Mariners already have had three such plays this season, with mixed results. "It was made for the play at second, on the double-play ball," Melvin said. "I dont think anyone thought it would come into play in the outfield as youre seeing right now." Both managers have had to talk to their players to be certain that runners go against their instincts and watch the umpires, not the play, in order to advance or hold. "I think the players are struggling more than the managers," McClendon said. "Initially, I thought Id be a fan of it. But Im not so sure now." ... Mariners top pitching prospect Taijuan Walker (shoulder) is scheduled to make another rehab start Tuesday in the minors. Seattle has an open spot in the rotation for that day, but McClendon said he doesnt know when Walker will be called up.
