We are about to hit one of the sweetest spot of the sports calendar.

The 2015 NFL season is almost upon us. When that moment comes we can stop talking about 'Deflategate' and start talking about the battle being fought on the field and not in the courtroom. Well Rock Ya-Sin Jersey , maybe we'll have to hear about it a little, but actual football will be a nice distraction.As we saw in last year's Super Bowl and the NFL Playoffs in general, you don't go very far in this era of the NFL without a great quarterback. The final four teams in the playoffs were led by Tom Brady, Andrew Luck, Aaron Rodgers and Russell Wilson. Andy Dalton once again flopped for the Bengals in a playoff game, the Cardinals had about the worst injury luck in the world and Matthew Stafford showed promise, but couldn't get the Lions their first playoff win in 24 years.While it takes more than a quarterback to get you to the Super Bowl, success usually begins under center. We saw how important it was to the Buccaneers and the Titans to get that position fixed, as they drafted quarterbacks Jameis Winston and Marcus Mariota first and second overall. Every team scrambles to find the answer, and as a result many are paid handsomely before they even accomplish much, because when they do http://www.coltscheapshop.com/cheap-authentic-ben-banogu-jersey , their price tag is driven up that much more.This offseason, we saw contract extensions given to Ryan Tannehill, Nick Foles, Cam Newton and Russell Wilson sign extensions. Wilson has proven the most of the bunch, but the others seem to be on the cusp of breaking out and if they do, their deals will look like bargains.These extensions don't kick in for a while though, so they'll still be among the lowest paid quarterbacks for the 2015 season. With that in mind, let's take a look at the top half of QB salaries in the NFL for this season. The list will be ranked based on the players' 2015 cap hits, all taken from Spotrac.com. Aaron Altherr got his first lucky break in a while.

Left fielder Marcell Ozuna dived for and missed Altherr’s two-run double with two outs in the 10th inning, allowing the Philadelphia Phillies to rally for a 6-5 win over the St. Louis Cardinals on Monday night.

Altherr had been hitless in his last 12 at-bats and 1 for 20 before the hit.

”The way things have been going, I thought he was going to catch it Parris Campbell Jersey ,” Altherr said. ”Thankfully he dove for it and it got by.”

Tommy Pham hit a solo homer in the top of the 10th, one inning after a wild pitch on a strikeout kept the game going. But the Phillies rallied.

Rhys Hoskins hit a bloop single to start the bottom of the 10th off Matt Bowman (0-2). Odubel Herrera dived headfirst into first to seemingly beat out an infield single, but the play was overturned by a video review. After Carlos Santana was intentionally walked, Bowman struck out Jesmuel Valentin.

Altherr then hit a sinking liner that appeared to skip off Ozuna’s glove before bouncing to the wall.

”It was so nice to see a ball bounce in his direction,” Phillies manager Gabe Kapler said of Altherr.

Cardinals manager Mike Matheny tried to explain the unusual strategy to put the winning run on base.

”Wanted to avoid their best hitter,” he said of Santana, who is batting .226.

On a day former closer Hector Neris was sent to the minors, Kapler’s aggressive use of the bullpen nearly cost him. Seranthony Dominguez – the team’s best reliever – wasn’t available after pitching 2 1/3 innings in the previous two games. So Kapler turned to Victor Arano and Adam Morgan in the ninth to protect a 4-2 lead. Neither pitcher has ever earned a save.

Yadier Molina hit a one-out single in the ninth off Arano, and Jedd Gyorko followed with a double. Arano struck out Harrison Bader and fanned Yairo Munoz, but Munoz reached when catcher Andrew Knapp failed to block the wild pitch and a run scored.

”I have to make that play. I have to block it,” Knapp said.

Morgan came in and allowed a tying single to Kolten Wong.

Pham hit a deep drive off Jake Thompson (1-1) for his 11th homer.

Matt Carpenter and Molina also hit solo homers for St. Louis. Molina caught his 1 http://www.ravenscheapstores.com/miles-boykin-jersey-cheap ,757th game with the Cardinals, passing the Cubs’ Gabby Hartnett for the most games caught with one team.

Herrera hit a three-run homer for Philadelphia.

The Phillies’ bullpen wasted a strong start from Nick Pivetta. He had a career-high 13 strikeouts, allowing two runs and four hits in 7 1/3 innings in his best outing since May 21. Pivetta lost his previous four starts, posting a 7.11 ERA in those games.

Pivetta left after Carpenter hit a double high off the fence in right to put runners at second and third. Right fielder Nick Williams exited with a bloody face after the ball hit him on the carom.

Edubray Ramos entered and struck out Pham and Jose Martinez swinging at sliders.

The Phillies have won six of eight games while the Cardinals have lost six of eight.

Cardinals starter Miles Mikolas gave up four runs and six hits in five innings.

EXTRA WORK

The Phillies are 5-1 in extra innings while the Cardinals are 5-6.

ROSTER MOVE

Neris was optioned to Triple-A Lehigh Valley, and lefty Austin Davis was recalled. Neris had a 6.00 ERA in 30 appearances, going 1-3 with 10 saves in 13 chances.

TRAINER’S ROOM

CARDINALS: 1B Martinez returned to the lineup after missing three games on paternity leave. 1B Luke Voit was optioned to Triple-A Memphis.

PHILLIES: RHP Jerad Eickhoff (right hand) is set to throw a bullpen session Tuesday. … Righty reliever Pat Neshek is scheduled to throw live batting practice Wednesday in the minors.

UP NEXT

RHP Luke Weaver (3-6, 4.52 ERA) starts for the Cardinals and RHP Vince Velasquez (5-7, 4.74) goes for the Phillies on Tuesday night. Weaver has lost both of his career starts vs. Philadelphia. Velasquez is 1-1 vs. St. Louis, including a victory earlier this season.
