Did You See That?

Maria Sharapova

Welcome to another warm fuzzy installment of <italics>Did You See That?</italics>, the gallery that serves you right. Let's begin with the Russian "tennis hottie" in action during her match vs. Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova at the Porsche Grand Prix in Stuttgart and proceed from there.

Bernard Hopkins

Here it is, proof and everything that the aliens have landed among us: This one took on Beibut Shumenov in an IBA Light Heavyweight Title bout in Washington, DC, and won a split lip decision in 12 rounds. For your safety, we present the secret stolen government training film on how to deal with an alien uprising.

Michael Pineda

A sticky situation indeed: Home plate umpire Gerry Davis was not amused to find a glop of pine tar on the Yankee hurler's neck. Though Pineda insisted that the foreign substance was merely a manly new aftershave that drives the ladies wild, the unsmiling arbiter ejected the shameless rogue in the second inning of New York's game against the Boston Red Sox at Fenway Park.

Watering of the girls

A local school gal in traditional regional garb reacts rather predictably as three lads in the vicinity of Budapest hydrate her during a folk dance rehearsal for the traditional fertility ritual rooted in Hungary's tribal past that dates as far back as the second century AD (After Dousing). Some historians -- not particularly respected ones, mind you -- believe that the ancient Hungarians created the forerunner of the Gatorade bath.

If you make le trek to Toulouse, you'll see that His Eggsellency Archbishop Robert Jean Louis Le Gall and the Merry Brotherhood of the Bessieres got crackin' and made good use of Easter leftovers.

Archery action

In geopolitical news, during a visit to the Meiji Shrine in Tokyo, President Obama vowed to defend Japan with high-tech trash can lids if China attacks with bows and arrows in a tense territorial dispute over some rocks and stuff on uninhabited islands that are certainly worth going to war over. Obama also urged an irked and indignant Beijing to help talk Dennis Rodman's old pal, North Korean nuke kook Kim Jong-un, out of proceeding with his "dangerous" program to produce and deliver the bomb.

WFF Miss Bikini competition

Michael Phelps

The iconic swimmer was reminded that pools can be quite chilly as he practiced for the Arena Grand Prix at the Skyline Aquatic Center in Mesa, Arizona.

Cameron Diaz and Jimmy Fallon

Michelle Wie

Wie believe she be doin' the Hula after her triumph in LPGA's whole LOTTE Championship Presented by J Golf in Kapolei, Hawaii.

Horse racing action

Jockey Vlad "The Inhaler" Duric got a snootful of turf after being shanked off Golfing in the home stretch of the Bert Bryant Handicap at Caulfield Racecourse in Melbourne. Duric hoofed his way off the course with a minor leg injury. Golfing, which went off at 5-to-1, finished at 4:30.

Rodeo action

A wild horse in Montevideo, Uruguay, asks the timeless musical question, "Who is the gaucho, amigo? And why is he standing in your spangled leather poncho and your elevator shoes? Bodacious cowboys such as your friend will never be welcome here..."

Naturally, the hometown nine lost after coughing up a four-run lead in the ninth.

Yoga action

More than 50 yogis (alas, Yogi Berra was not among them, nor was Yogi Bear) struck classic poses from ancient Vedic texts at the Hollywood shrine once known as Grauman's Chinese Theatre.

Major League action

"Bring me the head of Alex Gordon," said the Royals' Yordano Ventura, and sure enough an ill wind delivered during batting practice before a game against the Minnesota Twins at Kansas City's Kauffman Stadium.

Kelly Olnyk

Alas, Boston's basketball squad went out in not so grand style with a 118-102 frashin' at the hands of the Washington Wizards, missing the playoffs and landing in the laps of their disgruntled fans at TD Garden.
