For the first time in five years, Mike Lowell will not be your starting third baseman for your Boston Red Sox. The question remains if he’ll even be a part of the 25 man roster when the Red Sox break camp.
Last year, the Red Sox almost had to trade Lowell if they had acquired current Yankees first baseman Mark Teixeira in free agency. During the offseason this year, Lowell was very close to being a member of the Texas Rangers. But an injury to his thumb caused the deal to be nixed.
Here’s a press release from the UConn Huskies Athletic Communications Department about Maya Moore being named the ESPN The Magazine Women’s Basketball Academic All-America of the Year.

Jim Calhoun didn’t like how things were going in the first 47 seconds of the game on Monday night against the No. 8/7 West Virginia Mountaineers. So the calmer, gentler Calhoun did what he could to spurn his UConn Huskies team on. He called a timeout and picked up a technical foul.
This worked to perfection for Calhoun as his charges responded with a 14-1 run and they got some calls as the Huskies went on to upset the Mountaineers 73-62 in front of 15,082 and a nationally-televised audience on ESPN at the XL Center in Hartford, CT.
It’s the third win in as many games for the Huskies as they improve to 17-11 (7-8 Big East). It also improves their chances of an NCAA tourney bid with another resume-building win. Earlier in the day, the Huskies were on of the last four teams out according to ESPN bracketologist Joe Lunardi. This will certainly change now. The Mountaineers fall to 21-6 (10-5 Big East).
UConn Huskies senior All-American center Tina Charles has been dominating play in the Big East and in the awards this season. However, this week she was only named to the Big East Honor Roll for her efforts in UConn’s 2-0 week.
UConn Huskies sophomore point guard Kemba Walker had a great week last week and for his efforts, he was rewarded by being named the Big East Player of the Week.
