Regular Justin Purrlander

HERO CAT. Throws Out 1st Pitch.With Help from Rescue Boy. She's a regular Justin Purrlander ... or Clayton Furrshaw ... 'cause Hero Cat threw out the first pitch at a minor league baseball game tonight -- AND CRUSHED IT.
Sports has obtained pics of Hero Cat and Jeremy . pictured below, the little boy she saved from that vicious dog earlier this month -- taking the mound together at the Bakersfield Blaze game. the Class-A affiliate of the Cincinnati Reds.

Of course, the now famous cat-beats-dog incident took place only miles from the stadium -- and the Blaze reached out to honor their hometown hero.
We're told the crowd cheered like crazy for the pair -- and after the pitch, they stayed to take in the rest of the game from seats right near the CATcher.

Ashley Cole

Ashley Cole says he does not think he will be at Chelsea next season and is seeking "another journey in my life" after eight years at Stamford Bridge.

The 33-year-old left-back, who announced his England retirement earlier this month, is out of contract this summer.

"I am weighing up my options for playing next season with my agent,".

Ashley Cole Fact File:
    * November 1999: Makes Arsenal debut in League Cup.
    * March 2001: Makes England senior debut in World Cup qualifier against Albania.
    * 2002: First-choice left-back as Arsenal win the Premier League and FA Cup double.
    * August 2006: Signs for Chelsea.
    * May 2010: Wins the second double of his career.
    * May 2012: Wins a record seventh FA Cup Final.

 "Sadly it does not look like Chelsea will be one of them." Cole helped Chelsea win the Premier League title in 2010 as well as the 2012 Champions League.

He has also won four FA Cups with the Blues, to add to the three he won at Arsenal, following his move to Stamford Bridge from the Gunners in August 2006.

Cole won the 2007 League Cup with Chelsea and was part of the club's Europa League triumph under interim manager Rafael Benitez in 2013.

But he endured a frustrating 2013-14 campaign under returning manager Jose Mourinho, starting just 15 Premier League games in a trophy-less season for the Blues.

"Now I'll be looking for another journey in my life," added Cole.

"I hope it can be like my others, full of fun and of course win something."

Player Swap In Exchange for Chelsea Midfielder

Barcelona Offer £20m Plus Player Swap In Exchange for Chelsea Midfielder

Player Swap In Exchange for Chelsea Midfielder

Don't forget that Ramires was one of the most important players at Chelsea`s first Champions League trophy. If his only real attribute is the engine, I would say that a miracle probably happened at Camp Nou when he scored that magic goal against Barcelona or even on the first game when he gave an incredible pass for Drogba to score, among other things he has already done on the last seasons. Ramires has proved himself to be very important on several matches. I could actually say that there are people out there judging players after watching a single match or even a few plays, and IMHO, that's not how things should work.

Nou Camp side target Stamford Bridge star. Barcelona are said to be keen on luring Chelsea midfielder Ramires to the Nou Camp according to the Daily Mirror.

Sporting director Andoni Zubizarreta is readying moves to bring in a number of new signings and has set his sights on the combative Blues star who moved to Stamford Bridge from Benfica back in 2010.

The box to box performer has been a regular under Jose Mourinho and has amassed 195 appearances in his four seasons at the club and will not be a player the Blues boss would be willing to lose.

Ramires scored against Barcelona when Chelsea overcame the Catalan club in the Champions League semi-finals two years ago and the La Liga side are willing to offer £20m plus the services of one of their many young talents, either in an outright deal or on loan, though no player is named by this source.

Barcelona could well finish the season with no silverware having crashed out of the Champions League at the hands of Atletico Madrid and losing the Copa del Rey final to Real Madrid.

Gerardo Martino’s side currently sit in second spot in La Liga, albeit with Real Madrid in third having a game in hand.
