KEARNS, Utah -- Skaters know theyre not going to be posting the same times early in the ISU World Cup season as they will later on, but theres the hope of getting off to a good start.The United States had three men and three women advance to the elimination rounds of the ISU World Cup short track speed skating session Friday.Last week, I really wanted to be top 16, and it went way better than that, said two-time Olympic medalist Katherine Reutter. This week, I think I can be a little more hopeful. Id be really happy if I was in the top eight, but I wouldnt be upset if I was in the top 12. ... Anything beyond that is just icing on the cake.The season is long. ... The way you race in November may have almost nothing to do with how you race in March. ... I know things can come and go really quickly.Keith Carroll Jr. moved on to the semifinal in the 1,500 meters (2:13.153) and 1,000 despite being taken out in the 1,000. Carroll Jr., however, fell during the 5,000-meter relay to take the U.S. out of contention. Teammate John-Henry Krueger advanced in both 1,500 divisions.Being here at home, I want to have a good showing, Carroll said. The relay event, I definitely feel like were one of the faster teams. We can keep up with anyone. It was really disappointing to go down in the first round like that.Individually, my No. 1 goal is always try to get through this first day and qualify for the World Cup round. ... Saturday and Sunday will be ultra-competitive. I just want to have a really good showing.Reutter starred for the women by qualifying in both the 1,000 (1:31.166) and 1,500 (2:25.940).Kristen Santos also qualified in the 1000, and Ryan Pivirotto and Jessica Kooreman both qualified for the 1,500 semifinals.China, South Korea, Russia, Kazakhstan and Canada all had strong days on the mens side; the nations advanced in the 5,000 relay and had all four members of the team move on in at least one other event.Today went pretty decent, U.S. mens coach Anthony Barthell said.

Yet even with Arizona pitcher Ian Kennedy getting 10 games and infielder Eric Hinske five for their roles in Tuesdays fight, it might not be enough to quell the lingering hostility between the NL West rivals. "No, its not over yet, not at all," said Dodgers reliever Ronald Belisario, given a one-game ban. "I dont think anybody thinks its over." Kennedys suspension is the longest handled out by the league for on-field conduct since Chicago Cubs catcher Michael Barrett was handed a 10-game suspension for an incident with White Sox catcher A.J. Pierzynski on May 20, 2006. Kennedy is appealing the decision, pointing to his track record as proof hes not a troublemaker. "Ten games, I think theyre trying to set an example," he said before Arizonas game in San Diego on Friday night. Hinske is also appealing and put most of the blame on Dodger rookie Yaisel Puig, who was right in the middle of things but only received a fine. "Ive been a model citizen in this league for 12 years," Hinske said. "And then theres Puig, whos been in the league for 12 days and he gets no games. So you tell me whats right." Belisario served a one-game suspension on Friday night for "aggressive actions" while Dodgers reliever J.P. Howell and infielder Skip Schumaker appealed the two-game suspensions they received from MLB Senior Vice-President Joe Garagiola Jr. Los Angeles manager Don Mattingly and Arizonas Kirk Gibson were given one-game bans, while Dodgers hitting coach Mark McGwire must sit two games. Bench coach Trey Hillman filled in for Mattingly on Friday night when Los Angeles played at Pittsburgh while Arizona bench coach Alan Trammell took over for Gibson in San Diego. Garagiola cited Kennedy for intentionally throwing a pitch at the head of Zack Greinke after a warning had been issued and Hinske for leaving the dugout and his "aggressive actions." Mattingly was penalized for his conduct and Gibson for Kennedys actions following a warning. While Kennedy feels singled out, Mattingly disagrees. "To me (Kennedy) seemed like he was kind of the instigator and started it and piled on and he got the most," Mattingly said. "It just seems fair." Mattingly sseemed a bit puzzled by Schumakers penalty, saying he felt if the veteran infielder "had his hands on anybody, he was pulling people off.dddddddddddd" Schumaker declined to talk about the suspension, saying only he has feelings about it but didnt want to share them. All eight handed suspensions were also fined, as were Puig, Greinke, Arizona catcher Miguel Montero and Diamondbacks outfielder Gerardo Parra. MLB fined the Dodgers for allowing players on the disabled list to leave the dugout and enter the field during the brawl. MLB also banned disable list players on the Dodgers and Diamondbacks from sitting in their dugouts through Sunday. The players appealing the ruling will be able to play until after hearings and final decisions. Kennedy hit Puig with a pitch that deflected off his back to his nose in the sixth, and Greinke hit Montero on the back in the seventh, drawing a warning from umpires. Both teams charged onto the field, but the scrum broke up quickly with no punches thrown. Kennedy then hit Greinke on the upper left shoulder in the bottom half of the inning, and the ball deflected off his helmet. A prolonged and more heated scuffle ensued against a railing on the first base side. Montero, joked that he kept getting hit at the bottom of the pile but "obviously they are probably my teammates that were punching me because were the only ones who got suspended" but isnt sure why Greinke was spared a suspension. "Ian got 10 days and Zack got zero days when he admitted that he hit me on purpose, seriously?" Montero said. "We just give him a fine because he was already seven weeks out. Well, he can miss one more. Cmon. Give me a break with that." Kennedy, Gibson and Diamondbacks coach Turner Ward were ejected after the shoving match. Puig, McGwire and Dodgers reliever Ronald Belisario also were tossed. Mattingly had to be restrained as he tried to get at Gibson, and they exchanged words briefly. McGwire and third base coach Matt Williams grabbed each others shirts in a tense standoff and shouted at each other. Mattingly said he was only playing "peacekeeper" and understands the fight will likely have some carryover effect, even if it is only in the media. "Theres no way for us to go to Arizona now without us having to talk about it," he said. "Theres going to be an effort to keep it alive and it wont be by the players or us." ' ' '
