Books

a book that I really enjoyed was "Heart of a Champion". I do not remember who the author is, but it is a good book none the less. It related to my life on a personal level so it was extremely easy for me to get into. This is a surprise because it is really hard for me to have any interest in books. This is a book that is about two people who are best friends and love the sport of baseball. This book was appealing to me mainly because it has a lot to do with baseball. So if you enjoy sports, then this would be a good book for you.

Journal Topic

Today is Thursaday. That means tomarrow is Friday and then we have a week long break from school! Luckily, the week went decently quick for me. I was just given some Nerds candy. They tasted very good, but they are all gone now. I have to put up a lot of post today because I will not be able to the week because I am going on vacation. When i sat in this chair in the Media Center, my chair jerked back and it scared me. Emily saw me and was laughing at me. It was pretty funny though. I'm just glad that the rest of the class wasn't in here yet. That would have been pretty embarassing, even though I pretty much do that every time a sit in one these chairs. I have a baseball game tonight. Its being played at the school field though so it isn't all that far away at least. Last night, I finished that big story that we had to write while I was watching the Yankee game. I was surprised that I actually finished it though considering that it wasn't even started yet.

Championship Series

So there were four teams now competing to reach the World Series in this Championship Series. The NY Yankees play the LA Angels for the Amercan League title. The Phillidelphia Phillies play the LA Dodgers for the National League title. The NY Yankees ended up victorious against the LA Angels as they won the series four games to two. The Phillies also ended up on top as they defeated the LA Dodgers four games to one. Game one of the world series is on tonight as the Phillies look to defend their title while the Yankees are the only team in their way as they try to come out on top. I myself will be voting for the Yankees so i will update the game results on my next post most likely.

Divison Series

Okay. So my last post was all the way back before the MLB playoffs began. So what I am going to do in this post is give you a little bit of an idea of how the playoffs have gone so far for you people that don't watch baseball, but have some interest in it still. For the ALDS, the New York Yankees swept the Minessota Twins three games to none. The LA Angels also swept the Boston Red Sox three games to none. For the NLDS, the Philidelphia Phillies beast the Colorado Rockies three games to one. The LA Dodgers swept the St. Louis Cardinals three games to none.

So did anybody watch the New York Yankees game yesterday? They beat the Tampa Bay Rays 10-2 for their last regular season game. A-rod ended up hitting a three rbi homerun in the 6th inning making him 4 rbis short of 100. In the same inning though, the Yankees batted around and intentially walked Mark Teixeira with the bases loaded to keep him from hitting his 40th homerun. This led to A-rod bombing a grand slam homerun allowing for him to finishing his season with 30 homeruns and 100 rbis. He also broke the American League record for most rbis in one inning with 7. So next week starts the post season and this is going to be a really exciting post season.
