College Hoops
Whoops! A few days ago in wrapping up the University of Washington basketball season we sort of forgot a little item called the Pac-10 Tournament.
Well, maybe it didn’t matter. The Huskies were eliminated by Cal 84-81 in the opener yesterday but JOEL SMITH had his best game in several weeks with eight points in 20 minutes. AND he got a big photo in the Los Angeles Times.

Duffy Appears Iowa-bound
More evidence that DANNY DUFFY will be moved out of Arizona next month---
A quick read of the Kansas City Star archives shows that the early minor league camp which Duffy attended beginning in late February through March 2 was expressly for players expected to go to out-of-town minor league clubs in April.
According to the Star the early camp included “all pitchers likely to be assigned to full-season minor league clubs.”
Pitchers there included Rowdy Hardy, KC’s 2007 minor league pitcher of the year (15-5, 2.48 at Class A Wilmington), Daniel Cortes, Blake Wood, Danny Duffy and Matt Mitchell. “Cortes, Wood, Duffy and Mitchell are all cited by Baseball America as being among the organization’s top 10 prospects.”
The season begins on April 3 for the Burlington Bees of the Midwest League. They host Peoria.

Church Becomes Dad Today
RYAN CHURCH will become a father today. Mason Church is expected and Ryan will take Thursday and Friday off to help out. Dad went 0-for-2 Wednesday and the BA slipped to the low .200’s but, hey, it’s spring training.
Adam Rubin of the New York Daily News recently asked Church about his so-called weakness against left-handed pitchers.
"Last year I think it was a fluke because I've always been able to hit them," said Church, who batted .229 against southpaws in '07 with the Nationals, after hitting a combined .304 in 79 at-bats the previous two seasons versus lefties.”
Catch that-- .304 in 2005 and 2006.
