History was made in the Ftball League play-off semi-finals as all the best-placed teams were beaten for the first time. Brighton, Walsall and Accrington Stanley all suffered play-off heartbreak, losing to Sheffield Wednesday, Barnsley and AFC Wimbledon respectively.The Seagulls had finished 15 points ahead of Wednesday in the Championship, Walsall 10 points ahead of Barnsley in League One and Accrington 10 clear of the Dons in League Two. But, for the first time in the play-offs, none of the three teams who finished highest made the final.The last third-placed team to miss out on the Championship final was Nottingham Forest in 2009/10 while in League One it was MK Dons in 2008/09, with the final for the last five seasons being contested by third vs fourth.The previous two sides to finish fourth in League Two (where there are three automatic promotion positions) had made the final, but the five before them had all missed out. Watch highlights as Brighton drew with Sheffield Wednesday in their second leg Since the introduction of the play-offs in 1987 there have been several examples of teams missing out on promotion after finishing well ahead of their rivals in the regular season.However, the stats before this years play-offs favoured progress for at least one of Brighton, Walsall or Accrington.In fact, 39.5% of the teams that had finished in the top play-off place across the three divisions had been promoted. Barnsley reached the League One final after a thumping win over Walsall Only 21% of teams in the second play-off spot had been successful while those in the bottom two places went up 19.8% of the time.In the Championship, 37% of the sides who had finished third were promoted, with Norwich, West Ham and Swansea all going up to the Premier League in recent seasons after missing out on the top two.A gd omen for Sheffield Wednesday is that the last three sides to finish sixth and reach the final have all gone on to win promotion, while only once in the last 17 seasons has the team finishing fourth - Hull this year - gone up. AFC Wimbledon made it past Accrington in League Two In League One, where Walsall missed out on second place by a point, the play-offs have proved more unpredictable in the past.Before this year, teams in third had gone up 33.30% of the time, a slightly better success rate than those in fourth (25.90%), fifth (18.50%) and sixth (22.20%).But Accrington had more reason to be optimistic as almost half (48.10%) of the teams that had finished fourth in League Two had gone up through the play-offs.Those in fifth (18.50%), sixth (14.80%) and seventh (18.50%) had not enjoyed anywhere near as much success.Who will win promotion this year from the play-offs?

Dallas hasnt ruled out the star quarterback for Sunday nights game against Philadelphia, but all signs point to Romos back injury pushing Kyle Orton into the starting role after two years of limited play as the backup. Surely Ortons name isnt the first that comes to mind for fans wanting a change after years of damaging interceptions, fumbles or, most infamously, the field goal flub when Romo dropped the snap on a kick that could have won his first playoff game in 2006.

The starters sore right forearm is feeling better but still isnt 100 per cent and hell be re-examined to figure out exactly whats wrong, general manager Alex Anthopoulos said. All MRIs have revealed so far is inflammation but that isnt a source of much comfort. "Its hard to be (optimistic) at this point, Im just being honest. He just hasnt been able to get it going," Anthopoulos said prior to Torontos home game Wednesday night versus the Los Angeles Dodgers. "I dont know enough about the severity. "I just know that its not safe for him to go out there. The last thing you want is a blown-out shoulder or an elbow or something like that. We dont know enough yet about Brandon." Morrow was placed on the disabled list in early June after going 2-3 with a 5.63 ERA in 10 starts for the Blue Jays. The 28-year-old has been throwing side sessions in Dunedin, Fla., but theres no time frame for when he could return. "I ask our trainers: It seems like weve given him so much rest, should he not be 100 per cent at this point? Its tough to know how everyones body recovers," Anthopoulos said. "It just might be one of those things that it just needs a lot more time than we hoped and thought." Another starter who began the season win Torontos rotation is left-hander J.A. Happ, who suffered a twisted knee and a skull fracture May 7 when he was hit by a line drive. Happ could return after one more minor-league rehab start or the club could chse to give him a couple more. "When he moves off the mound its still not 100 per cent," Anthopoulos said. "Obviously he can go out there and pitch, but hes still a little bit stiff at tiimes with some of the movements off the mound.dddddddddddd" When Happ returns, the Blue Jays would like him to eat up innings. Torontos bullpen had logged a major league-leading 353 1/3 innings heading into action Wednesday. Happ is working towards being able to throw 90-to-95 pitches. "Well see how he does," Anthopoulos said. "He runs deep counts no matter what, so its the type of guy that especially with a seven-man pen, when he is back we want to feel gd enough that he can go deep enough to be able to protect the pen." Right-hander Kyle Drabek, whos coming off his second career Tommy John surgery, is doing well while Drew Hutchinson (elbow) and Sergio Santos (triceps) are also making progress, Anthopoulos said. Reliever Luis Perez (elbow) is expected to start a rehab assignment in August and would then be on pace to return by September, if not sner. That kind of clarity doesnt exist with Morrow, whom the Blue Jays would like to be a part of their long-term future. So far in the majors, he hasnt eclipsed 180 innings in a season, but Anthopoulos declined to label Morrow as someone who might never be a 200-inning starter. Theres just no certainty about Morrows short-term prognosis, and what he could bring if and when he returns. "A lot can happen, a lot can change," Anthopoulos said. "All of a sudden he may feel great and it may just be two more weeks of rest or something. "We may see him in three weeks or September or whatnot." Anthopoulos was hopeful hed have more answers in a week or two and certainly in a couple of months. The unknown prevails for Morrow and the Blue Jays until then. "Its t early. I dont have enough information," he said. "At some point well get to the bottom of it." ' ' '
