UNFORTUNATE NAME
OF THE WEEK
When you grow up with the last name of Wuensch (sounds like Lunch), you garner empathy for others with horrendous handles. Just ask one of the three Rick Shaws living in the greater Phoenix area alone. Or Al Kada from Springfield, Va., who likely doesn't head up any rogue militia groups.
This week's UNOTW:
TAYLOR SCHLOPY
The University of Georgia pitcher/outfielder has certainly heard many variations on her last name. It's Schlopy, however, getting the last laugh these days. This spring, the UGA sophomore helped lead the Lady Diamond Dogs their first-ever Women's College World Series - where they finished fourth overall in the nation. Hitting .406 this season and leading UGA in triples, runs and, unfortunately, hit-by-pitches, wrought plenty of accolades for Schlopy. The USA Softball Women's National team named her among the 16 players chosen to compete for Uncle Sam in the Japan Cup at the end of July.
SPRING TRAINING

!! EUREKA !!
With Their 10th Win of the Season on Monday Night, a 90-84 Win Over the San Antonio Spurs, the New Jersey Nets Cannot Go Down in NBA Infamy With the Most Losses in a Single Season.
That Dubious Distinction Still Belongs to the 73 Losses of the 1972-73 Philadelphia 76ers.
