Blogs Overall
My overall opinion about blogging! I though that blogging was very interesting and sometimes it was kind of fun. Of course I don’t like the fact that you have to post three times a week with two hundred and fifty words each time. If you didn’t have any requirements then it would never get done, but it was the right amount. We didn’t like the requirements because it was work but life only gets harder from here on out, so we’ll make it.
My blog topic was about sports, which I obviously enjoy. The thing I like the best about it was that I used ESPN.com a lot to find stories to talk about. I liked it because you can go on there and pick a story to read about. I ended up reading too many of the stories and not getting my blog post done during class. That alright I always had them turned in on time! It was very interesting the stories that you could come up with and the stuff that is released out there. You find out more about one person that you don’t even know then you know about a family member. Sometimes its not even related to sports, could just be something that is affecting their like or whatever. Overall I enjoyed doing the blogs, it wasn’t a tough assignment and you can blog about whatever you wanted to. If you can find a topic that you really like then you can find it to be really fun.

Baseball 2009
We had our first baseball game today of the two thousand nine season. We played our first game against Linn-mar and won ten to three. It was first round of the metro tournament which we play in every year; unfortunately it’s my senior season. The game was at twelve thirty at Kennedy of course because it is consecutively ranked number one field in the state. Year after year! Our second game was at six and we played Marion. We beat them eight or nine to four. I think? The first game I started in right field and got the ball about a whole two times!
We play tomorrow against Washington or Jefferson for the championship game of the metro tournament. That game is play at Vets memorial stadium, where the Kernels play. I couldn’t tell you what time it is at though, is that a bad thing? I do know that we have batting practice at four tomorrow that is all I am good for. We should win, if we can stay focused and hit the ball. Hopefully won’t make any costly errors, which we had more then an enough today. We won the metro tournament last year, and should repeat again this year. Of course I couldn’t tell you who we played...I remember playing Washington and Xavier? Maybe it was Jeff? Could have been but I honestly can’t think right now. Looks like we’re off to a good start and we hopefully be playing in Des Moines during the month of July.

NHL + NBA
The playoffs are taking place right now for both the NBA and NHL. In the NHL the Pittsburgh Penguins took on the Washington Capitols. A battle between Sidney Crosby versus Ovechkin two of the best players in the NHL. It was the seventh game between the two of the series for the playoffs. Crosby had twelve goals in the series, and 4 assists. Ovechkin had eleven goals and three assist in the series. Last night the game was all Pittsburg as they one six to two. Ovechkin struggled while on a break away and completely missed the shot, which should have been like stealing candy from a baby. He did end up with a goal by the end of night because the goalie made a rookie mistake and went out behind the goal. Then Ovechkin snagged the puck and put it in the goal, it was first goal for the Capitols.
The series between the Huston Rockets and the Los Angeles Lakers are also taking place currently in the sports world. First off I didn’t think that the series would even be this close. When I looked it was two-two and I was really surprised. The Lakers did win last night to put them up three to two in the series. Will there be a game seven? The Lakers dominated the floor winning by forty points. I turned it to the game and it was sixty-four to thirty-seven or something like that. This is when I decided to turn the channel.

More E:60
So I was watching E: 60 again the other night, at the same friend’s house as before. It was the final episode of the season. The first story was about Dustin Pedroia; He is the second baseman for the Boston Red Sox and stands about five foot eight inches tall. With his lack of height comes the cockiest player I have ever seen in my life. This man walks around with the biggest chip on his shoulder as is no body else exists in the world. It gives him his confidence to play the game, since baseball is about eighty percent mental. Besides the fact that he is so cocky, Pedroia is one of the most exciting players to watch in the game. He plays heart out every game that he plays in, yelling when he gets thrown out at second base, blaming the umpire for a bad call. He was told that he would never be any good in the MLB, but at only twenty-five years old he won the American league MVP last year.
The next interview that caught my attention was about Dana White and his creation of the UFC. He might be the most straight forward person that is alive, he tells you the way it is and it’s his way only. After growing up on the rough streets in a
Pro Athletes Continued...
This next story that I read about while on ESPN. Com, just clicking away on stories. It was about Tony Romo and how he tried out for the U.S. Open, which if you didn’t know is a major Golf Championship. Tony Romo is a Professional Quarterback for the Dallas Cowboys. Why is he playing golf trying to qualify for the U.S. Open? It’s just amazing how he can actually have opportunity to be decent enough to try and make the tournament. He lost by just a few strokes. What I am trying to say is these, pro athletes are good at sports and not just one but sometimes three of four.
Lebron James from the Cleveland Cavaliers, who got drafted in the NBA right out of high school, could be playing in the NFL too. He was an all state Wide receiver and it’s more built then half of the NFL. Carlos Zambrano is an ace pitcher for the Chicago Cubs and could be playing in MLS, but had to go where the money is at. There was Michael Jordan was the best basketball player of all time, but he wasn’t just good at basketball. He played professional baseball with the Chicago White Sox. It is just incredible how good these professional athletes are at sports. They are born with the give talent, but it transfers over into more then one sport. I mean Tony Romo playing golf? I laughed when I first heard this but then seemed realized that it’s normal among pro athletes.

Pro Athletes
As I have noticed over the years about sports and being involved by playing baseball since the first grade. Every little kids dream is to be a professional athlete. If you play football, you want to be the next NFL star. If you play baseball you, want to be the winning pitcher for the World Series team. Think if you were for the Cubs when they finally win it again, half past never. If you play basketball, you want to be the next Michael Jordan or Lebron James making more money out side of the game then playing in one. Tiger Woods the most dominate athlete in the sports nation and who would want to play golf for the rest of their life?
Getting to the point of what I am trying to say, I never have realized how good you actually have to be to be a professional athlete. You got people who work their ass off everyday, day in and day out and never once see the field. Then you’ve got people who are lazy and get to play every game. The kid knows that doesn’t see the field knows hes not good. Then you’ve got the starter, who thinks he should be a professional athlete and thinks he is better then everybody. The problem with this is he/she doesn’t realize how good you actually have to be. The thing that gets me the most is that fact that most of these professional athletes could go pro in more then one sport
