My Christmas!

This Christmas was actually one of the best Christmas' I had in a while. This Christmas I got an Ipod touch (8gb) I got New Super Mario Bros. Wii and I got Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Winter Games. As well as sneakers these gifts were all that I wanted. The New Super Mario Bros. Wii was the hottest game on the Wii's market and was sold out all throughout gamestop's. But I got one and I am happy for that. All in all I believed my Christmas was very fun and I thank Santa for getting me what I wanted

Who's our Next Victim?

With baseball Winter Meetings ariving soon the World Champion Yankees may have to decide on their top priorities whether it may be a starter, left-fielder or a new DH. They would like to pick up Doc Halladay as one of the best starters in todays game. But i think the best option for them is to go after John Lackey he's been great on the scene for the Angels and he would be a great addition to the club.

Review of U.S. of Branches Government

They came from the Ratification of the Constitution in 1790 when delegates thought of new ideas to add. The United States Constitution divides government into three separate and distinct branches: the Executive, Legislative and Judicial branches. The concept of separate branches with distinct powers is known as separation of powers. That doctrine arose from the writings of several European philosophers. The Englishman John Locke first pioneered the idea, but he only suggested a separation between the executive and legislative. The Frenchman Charles-Louis de Secondat, Baron de Montesquieu, added the judicial branch. The U.S. Branches of Government show order and blance of the laws in the U.S.A.

Zack went 16 - 8 on the season with an 2.16 ERA the best in the majors. While striking out 242 batters along the way, also pitching 6 complete game, and 3 shutouts.

Tim went 15 - 7 with a 2.48 ERA while starting a maximum of 32 games a starting picther could go under 5 days rest. He also threw 4 complete games, and 2 shutouts. And leading the NL once again with 261 Strikeouts. Spectacular work kid! ... will Tim go for his third next season?

My Schedule

Gold Sluggers !

Derek Jeter the New York Yankees Captain and the shortstop of the Yankees has won both the gold glove and the silver slugger award. And his counterpart at first base Mark Teixeira has won both the Gold Glove and the Silver Slugger as well. Coincidentally both these players are in contention for MVP. I wonder who will it come down to DJ or Tex.

Yanks win the World Series!

The New York Yankees have defeated the defending champs Philidelphia Phillies. Therefore they are now the new champs of Major League Baseball. Ledaing the majors with the best record coming into the playoffs and spending approximately $441 million dollars during the offseason on new free agents. The Yanks were expected too win a championship and they did just that along the way proving all haters wrong the Yanks are still the best tean of all time winning number 27 world championship. Congrats Yankees on your prestigous award!

We're Back !!!

The Yankees have defeated the Los Angeles Angels to advance to the World Series. They will now play the Philidelphia Phillies in a Best of 7 games. The first team to win 4 games is the champion. Yankeees have CC Sabathia going out for game 1 .vs. Cliff Lee. In game 2 A.J. Burnett .vs. Pedro Martinez. And on Game three it should be Andy Pettite .vs. Cole Hamels. The series will be a tight one and hopefully the Yankees win.

Mj will be remembered in style ... "This is It"

Michael Jackson was going to make a comeback tour in London a month after his death. But unfortunately he suffered cardiac arrest. Although that happened we still have footage of Michael Jackson's past rehersals and preparations weeks before his death. I personally believe that the movie "This is It" will be a hit in the box office and will more than likely break records never set before. No other artists today can touch Michael. Not Drake, not Kanye, especially not Weezy .... But Jay Z is cool (although he still got nothing on Michael). So I think Michael Jackson's movie will be a hit like nothing ever made in the media industry before. We will see the impact he has on this world even in the after life.

What !!!

The ALCS is now 2-1. After Angels got a luck win off of a illogical move by the Yanks Skipper Joe Giradi. who takes out the hot arm David Robertson with a nasty curve for Alfredo Aceves. Wow he can go 3 innings more than Robertson but he has no control of his pitches he is impracticable. By the way there was 2 outs ... 2 outs!!! What is Howie Kendrick going to do hit another home run? Bad move Joe bad move.

My Picture

HOT STUFF !!!

What a first game for the Yankees. They beat the Angels 4-1 in a magnificent display by the ace of the Yankees, CC Sabathia. CC went 8 innings of 1 Earned Run Ball and he did it with a few K's along the way, only allowing 3 hits to the pesky Angels. Leading to "Enter Sandman" and Mariano Rivera time, who gets the save with his all-time leading 36 Postseason saves. Therfore becoming a Yanke win, Yankees lead the series 1-0.

Me, Myself and I

A quote that represents me and my personality is that "If you find a weakness I will take that perceived weakness and turn it into a strength." From Michael Jordan. I believe this quote to mean that if you find a weakness i will automatically turn it into a strength it is futile.

A - BOOM!

Alex Rodriguez the 3rd baseman of the New York Yankees had a spectacular game Friday night. A-Rod went 2 for 4 with one HR and 3 Rbi's. And his partner in crime Mark Teixeira went 2 for 5 but had the Walk- Off homer which gave the yanks the win, in which they now lead the series 2-0.

A Nobel Prize for Obama!

Barack Obama our 42nd President has one the Nobel Peace prize. Barack Obama was selected not for substantive accomplishments, but for his "vision" and inspiring "hope" at the beginning of his presidential term. The committee said they gave him the peace prize "for his extraordinary efforts to strengthen international diplomacy and cooperation between peoples" There was 3 other presidents that also won this prestigious award Theodore Roosevelt , Woodrow Wilson, and Jimmy Carter. This award is also very honored and I am happy that Barack has won it.

Game 1 TBD .vs. Yankees

The first game of the ALDS (American League Division Series) will be starting Wednesday, October 7 , 2009. The pitchers will more than likely be C.C. Sabathia the Yankees ace .vs. Justin Verlander the ace of the (Detroit Tigers) or Nick Blackburn the ace of the (Minnesota Twins) either way the Yankees have the upper hand to my opinoin. So I think the first game will be a great game and i look forward to seeing it.

V.S. Or

Postseason Underwiegh

The Major League Baseball season is ready to start. The NLDS (National League Division Series), and ALDS (American League Division Series) are ready to go. While the New York Yankees are the only team that their oppenent is still TBD (To Be Announced) I'm sure who ever their enemy is they will prevail. And soon they will move on to the ALCS face their next enemy. And the Yankees will prevail over all and win the World Series.

Hey A-rod's Back!

On Sunday the last game of the season, Alex Rodriguez entered the game with 28 home runs and 93 RBi's (Run Batted In) needing two home runs and 7 RBi's to continue his streak of 30 home runs and 100 Rbi's for the record setting 13th season consecutively. A-rod is up with two men on base in the 6th inning. BOOM! he hits a screaming line drive to the right field bleachers ... and it's gone. So now A-rod has 29 home runs and 96 needing only a grand-slam to complete his feat. After a few more runs it's still the 6th inning luckily A-rod gets another At-Bat with the BASES LOADED! So first pitch A-rod takes fastball in for a strike. The next pitch a cutter outside BOOM! that one is towering shot into the left field bleachers and its gone. A-rod comes from having hip surgery missing a month of playing time and comes up and puts up 30 home runs and 100 Rbi's for the record setting 13th season consecutively. A great season for A-rod and a great season for the Yankees who finish out the year with a record of 103-59 and a winning percentage of 63.6% the best in the majors.

What about those Yankees?

The Yankees are by far the best team in baseball at the moment. With a record of 102-57 they are 45 games over a .500 record. They have clinched a playoff spot already. And are due to face the Detroit Tigers in the ALDS (American League Division Series). The Tigers currently have a record of 85-74. The Yankees have already clinched a playoff spot and soon will go on to the World Series. The Yankees also have 3 major award contenders. Mark Teixeira for MVP (Most Valuable Player), Derek Jeter for MVP, and CC Sabathia for CY Young
