GREENBURGH, N.Y. - Carmelo Anthony said he wants to stay in New York, and said he wants to win. It will be up to Phil Jackson to convince him that he can do both. With the Knicks season over and Anthony missing the playoffs for the first time in his career, he can begin thinking about his future. He plans to become a free agent in July and wants to be someplace where he can compete for championships. The Knicks never came close this season, going 37-45. Anthony said it was a "failure" and an "embarrassment" that hes unwilling to go through again, which could force him to look elsewhere since New York will have trouble changing its roster next season. "I want to come back. I also want to win. Me wanting to be here, if we can put ourselves in position to at least compete at a high level over the course of whatever, five years, the contract would be, then Im willing to stay here," Anthony said Thursday while wearing a red hat with the letters "NY" at the Knicks training centre. He met with Jackson, who took over as team president in March and has said he could envision Anthony as a central piece of the Knicks future. Less clear is what he thinks about coach Mike Woodson, who received a strong endorsement from the Knicks leading scorer. "To be honest with you, Mike Woodson, me and him have become, hes been a guy I can talk to," Anthony said. "Hes been almost a father figure, a friend, a guy who I can bounce stuff off of. Ive been a guy hes talked to multiple times about multiple things, different situations. So when that time comes, if its ready for me to step up and take that next step and say, OK, Mike Woodson needs to stay or go — I dont think it would come down to that — but Ill back him. If he needs my recommendation, whether its here or anywhere else, Ill back him." Amare Stoudemire said Woodson wasnt a part of his exit meeting with Jackson and general manager Steve Mills, and he hadnt seen him Thursday. Woodson led the Knicks to 54 wins and a division title last season, and the Knicks embraced their high expectations coming into 2013-14. But they got off to a dismal start and couldnt recover, bad timing with their best player having the option to leave. The Knicks can pay Anthony around $30 million more than any other team, but wont have much financial flexibility to build around him until a number of contracts come off the books following the 2014-15 season. Yet Tyson Chandler, who like Stoudemire owns one of those contracts, said changing the players wasnt what the franchise needed. "I think a lot around here is made about personnel and this and that. I dont think thats it," he said. "I personally think that you have to bring a winning culture around here, and until thats established, you can rotate players as much as you want. Its not going to make a difference." That winning culture has escaped the Knicks, who last won a championship in 1973 when Jackson was a player here. Anthony said he understood it would take time after he was traded to New York in 2011, but said hes "not at a point in my career where I want to rebuild" as he prepares to turn 30 next month. "I dont know if I can afford to wait another season of losing. I really cant see that picture right now," Anthony said. "As far as other teams thats out there, which quote-unquote team would be a better situation, you never know. Sometimes the grass is not always greener on the other side, so this is stuff that Im going to have to sit down with myself and my family and really figure this out. This is not a decision thats going to happen overnight." He has time to think, since he cant play basketball now anyway. He began rehab on his right shoulder, which has a torn labrum, on Wednesday. "I just want to get away, kind of decompress and kind of clear my mind, because I dont want to come into this thing with a clouded judgment or things like that," Anthony said. "When I come back, my mind will be clear." Ivan Rakitic Jersey .

The Capitals were 5-4 winners in a shootout Oct.SEATTLE - Manager Lloyd McClendon wanted to make the point clear to his team: Playing a meaningful 161st game of the season is an accomplishment.Whether No. 162 will have any significance will depend on how much help the Seattle Mariners get from other teams.I like where we are, McClendon said.

Seattle must win its final two and have Oakland lose its final two to force a one-game playoff on Monday in Seattle.Its awesome to know were at game 161 and were still in it, Ackley said. We couldnt ask for much more especially with how we played the last five or six games not getting many wins, and to still be in it is pretty awesome.Morales and Saunders gave Hisashi Iwakuma (15-9) an early lead. Morales hit a leadoff homer in the second and Logan Morrison followed with a base hit to centre before Saunders connected for his eighth homer.Ackley led off the fifth with a drive to the right-field seats.Iwakuma staggered through his past six starts, giving up at least three earned runs in each one and failing to pitch beyond the fifth four times. He rediscovered his form from earlier in the season, shutting out the Angels for the first five innings.Los Angeles finally got to Iwakuma in the sixth when Kole Calhoun and Mike Trout hit back-to-back homers.Iwakuma started the seventh but left with one out and a 3-2 count on David Freese after grimacing throwing a pitch and being visited by a trainer.I needed to do my job and come out with a quality start and I was able to do that, Iwakuma said through an interpreter.The Angels tried to rally in the ninth. Erick Aybars RBI double off Fernando Rodney cut the lead to 4-3, but the closer retired Freese and Brennan Boesch to complete his 48th save.The Angels main goal for the weeekend was accomplished before first pitch.dddddddddddd They locked up home-field advantage throughout the post-season when Baltimore lost 4-2 to Toronto.Weaver (18-9) made his first start since being slowed by the flu and pitched six innings.

Weaver set a new career high with 27 home runs allowed this season.TROUTS TIMEIt was Trouts 36th homer of the season and No. 98 for his career, putting him in a tie with Frank Robinson for the fifth-most homers in baseball history before age 23.Trout added a leaping catch of Morales line drive in the eighth. Running to his left, Trout slightly overran the liner and reached behind his head as he jumped to make the catch.I put the glove where I thought the ball was going to be, Trout said. You tell yourself to try to catch everything. I tried to give myself a chance and I caught it.IWAKUMAS MARKSIwakuma set a career high with his 15th win despite missing the first month of the season. He also became the fifth Japanese-born pitcher to win 15 games in a season.TRAINERS ROOM:Angels: OF Josh Hamilton is not expected to play in the final series of the regular season.
