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.
MLB All-Decade Team for the 2000’s
With many publications taking some time to crank out their MLB All-Decade Team for the 2000’s, I thought it was time to do the same here at SOX & Dawgs. Some of the picks are pretty obvious, some might be borderline but I’ll do my best to express why that player has earned the right to be on the team.
I’ll give you all 8 regular fielders, a DH a five man starting rotation, closer, manager and finish with the Player of the Decade. The only real rule is they had to have played in at least part of 6 seasons or more.
I’d love to hear your thoughts and who you’d put there and why so as always feel free to comment.

Boston Red Sox DH David Ortiz showed up to camp yesterday a little bit lighter than last year and in great shape. His reasoning was to help him get off to a better start than he did last year.

Video: Highlights From UConn’s Win Over West Virginia
Here are some video highlights from the UConn Huskies eleven point win over the West Virginia Mountaineers on Monday night at the XL Center.
Huskies Pull Off Upset of No. 8/7 West Virginia 73-62
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).
