Darnell McDonald of the Boston Red Sox leaps …

… and does he catch it?

The fans and the Blue Jays bullpen know the answer to that question.

It’s February, and that means spring training for MLB will begin soon. Boston will seek to defend their title, but the Yankees have spent a fortune this off season to try and stop them.

The guy who hit the ball that was caught, above, Kelly Johnson, is now a Yankee. I was actually hoping this hit had turned into a home run as Johnson was on my fantasy team at the time.

Marcus Mariota of the University of Oregon Ducks

The one who ran for about 80 yards a game and threw an average of 3 TDS and 0 INTs a game when the Ducks started the season 8-0 (when he was considered a Heisman contender) or the one who netted close to zero yards on the ground (and threw 2 interceptions in each of the last two games) when Oregon went 2-2 during their final four games?

Game time is 6:45 p.m. EST from Texas for today’s Alamo Bowl.

Oregon Ducks

It’s not what they were hoping for when the season began. It was far from their minds when they went into week nine with an 8-0 record, with landslide victories over two ranked teams under their belts. However, the Oregon Ducks are going to the Alamo Bowl, to play an unranked team (Texas), in a bowl game before the year even ends, instead of to the BCS Championship Game they seemed destined for just over a month ago.

Jemile Weeks
Oakland A’s

Jemile Weeks exploded on the baseball scene in 2011, winning the MLB Rookie of the Month Award during his first month in the bigs. He quickly became a fan favorite. However, despite flashes of greatness from time to time, he didn’t produce much thereafter. By the end of 2012 he was back in the minors where he spent most of 2013.

The A’s parted ways with him this past week by trading him to Baltimore. In exchange the A’s received closer Jim Johnson who will hopefully do as good or better than departing free agent Grant Balfour.

Oregon Ducks Cheerleaders

For some reason, whenever I post photos of Oregon Ducks Cheerleaders my site traffic jumps. What’s up with that?

Today’s photo is from yesterday’s game at Autzen Stadium in Eugene.
