SEOUL, South Korea -- National Hockey League representatives are in South Korea to inspect Olympic facilities as the league mulls a decision on whether to let its players appear for a sixth consecutive Olympics in Pyeongchang.Pyeongchangs organizing committee said the NHL delegation led by vice president of international strategy Lynn White and facilities operation manager Dan Craig will make inspections on Thursday and Friday of facilities in Gangneung, a city near Pyeongchang which will host the ice hockey tournament during the 2018 Winter Games. They will be joined NHL Players Association officials Sandra Monteiro and Mathieu Schneider and the International Ice Hockey Federations Hannes Ederer and Christian Hofstetter, the organizing committee said.Pyeongchang organizers consider securing the participation of NHL players to be a critical issue as ice hockey is one of the most popular sports at the Winter Games. The International Olympic Committees negotiations with the NHL over having the leagues players competing in Pyeongchang have stalled over the IOCs decision not to pay for NHL players travel and insurance as it has in the past.NHL deputy commissioner Bill Daly recently told The Associated Press he felt negative about the chances the leagues players will compete in Pyeongchang.Christophe Dubi, the IOCs executive director of the Olympic Games, told reporters earlier this month that the NHLs decision to inspect the Gangneung facilities was a very positive step, but didnt offer a firm answer on whether the IOC would consider allowing the NHL to skip the Pyeongchang Games before returning for Beijing in 2022.

SAN DIEGO -- Padres starter Paul Clemens made his manager laugh Saturday night, then he made him angry.Clemens briefly wore the wrong uniform after getting overzealous with pine tar but still outpitched Jake Thompson in the Philadelphia right-handers major league debut, and San Diego beat the Phillies 9-7 on Saturday night.Clemens began the game with his usual No. 47 but was asked to switch his jersey by the umpires because it had pine tar on it.Before he went up, he put more pine tar on his bat than a lot of guys use in a year, Padres manager Andy Green said. He managed to get it all over his uniform.Clemens switched to No. 91 with Player in the nameplate. He later switched back to his No. 47 before exiting the game after 4 1/3 innings.The snafu got chuckles from teammates, including right-hander Jon Edwards, who taped over the name on his own jersey with Player #2 .That was good for a laugh, Green said.Greens mood soured when Clemens neglected to run out a bunt in the fourth inning. After recording an out in the fifth, Clemens was pulled.To me, throwing the bat and not running to first base on a bunt is not going to happen, Green said.Clemens said he was upset that Thompson went up and in on him on the pitch.I was thinking more about the pitcher and what he did rather than getting down the line quickly, Clemens said. I was more concerned with what transpired between me and the pitcher more so than the game.Green said he wont fine Clemens, but indicated that he had gotten under his skin for other minor things during the game.He made the right decision, Clemens said about Greens disciplinary move.
