There's Always Next Year.

Jacoby Ellsbury is 0 for 2 when it comes to the Oregon Sports Awards and the Harry Glickman Male Professional Athlete of the Year. On Monday night, Jacoby again lost out to Brandon Roy of the Portland Trailblazers. Perhaps next year he'll be able to get on base more often so that he can use his blazing speed and have a chance. [Aside: The woman who won the female award could probably give him a run for his money on the basepaths. Kara Goucher is a middle and long distance runner not a sprinter but even so, going from her record time in the 1500m she would cover the distance of ninety feet in a hair over four seconds.]
