VANCOUVER - An auditors report on the status of the Vancouver Olympic Village estimates the projects costs will continue to climb. Authentic Pierre Thomas Jersey . The report by KPMG released by the city Tuesday shows cost overruns jumping to at least $105 million. Mayor Gregor Robertson trumpets the development as "on track" in a news release, despite the numbers contained in the report. The city was forced to act as banker for the project after the economic downturn prompted the original lender to stop payments. The city has been criticized for taking on the massive cost and questions have been raised about whether in an effort to recoup costs, it will backtrack on commitments to turn some of the units into subsidized housing after the Games. The village is to house 1,100 athletes and officials during the Games and will be converted to private housing afterwards. Jets LaDainian Tomlinson Jersey .

(Sports Network) - Ubaldo Jimenez is becoming one tough act to follow for the rest of Colorados pitchers. The Rockies turn tonight to Greg Smith, who will try to pitch his club to a series win over the Arizona Diamondbacks this afternoon in the finale of a three-game set at Coors Field. Jimenez improved to 5-0 on the season in last nights 12-1 victory after holding the Diamondbacks to just two hits and two walks over six innings. Jimenez, who no-hit the Atlanta Braves on April 17, lowered his earned run average to 0.79 and stretched his scoreless innings streak to 22 1/3 frames. Hes as humble as there is. Hes as business-like as there is. Hes as competitive as there is, Rockies manager Jim Tracy said of Jimenez. Jimenez was backed with five runs batted in from Carlos Gonzalez, who also went 3-for-5 at the plate. Troy Tulowitzki went 3-for-3 with three runs scored and an RBI, while Eric Young Jr. and Miguel Olivo each drove in a pair of runs for Colorado, which lost the opener of this series but won for the third time in four games last night. Smith will follow up Jimenez this afternoon after battling to keep his team in the first game of a doubleheader versus the Florida Marlins last Saturday. He allowed four runs on a season-high eight hits over five-plus innings, but suffered a 4-1 loss to fall to 1-2 with a 5.24 earned run average in four starts this year. When a guy gets in scoring position with one out or no outs, the first thing that pops into my head is damage control, Smith told Colorados website. Keep the team in the game. Because at that point with a guy in scoring position and no outs, all they got to do is produce a run, small ball. Its the National League. So thats my first thought, to minimize the damage. Thats what in the long run will kkeep us in more games. Authentic Shonn Greene Jersey. Smith, a 26-year-old left-hander, faced the Diamondbacks for the first time as a rookie with Oakland in 2008, giving up a run over five innings while failing to factor into the decision. Fresh off his first victory in an Arizona uniform, 35-year-old Kris Benson takes the hill for the D-Backs this afternoon. Benson, who signed a minor league deal with the Diamondbacks in mid-March, improved to 1-1 with a 3.00 ERA in two starts on Friday, when he held the Philadelphia Phillies to just three runs (two earned) on eight hits over six- plus innings of work. Getting the win is huge, obviously, a big monkey off my back, said Benson. It was definitely nice to get off to a good start and throw the ball well early in the game. But as far as all the hard work going into coming back, having a short spring and just trying to get in shape and a position to make the ball team, I have definitely worked hard to get back. The right-hander is 3-2 with a 3.02 ERA in seven career starts versus the Rockies, but he hasnt faced them since 2005. Only Colorados Todd Helton has significant experience versus Benson, and he is just 3-for-17 with two RBI against him lifetime. Benson will try to avoid a similar outing than the one Edwin Jackson turned in last night. Jackson lasted only 2 1/3 innings before allowing a career-high 10 runs on 11 hits. Justin Upton drove in the only run for Arizona, which had won four of six coming in. That was pretty ugly from the beginning, Diamondbacks manager A.J. Hinch said. They beat us up. The Rockies won 11 of 18 versus the Diamondbacks last season, taking six of the final seven meetings. They also won six of the nine games played at Coors Field, including a three-game sweep from Sept. 4-6. ' ' '
