Upset?

           Barcelona are the defending El Clasico  champions, but up until yesterday Real Madrid was arguably the best team in the world. They certainly did not look like it on the pitch yesterday. Barcelona beat Real Madrid 5-0. Madrid's Ronaldo had a "decent game", but  Lionel Messi had a great game having two assists and useing his famous speed to throw the Madrid off balence.
           The real question to be asked is "is this an upset" or is this this just an example of Barcelona's dominants in the Spainish Futbol league. In my opinoin this is just not a contest as of yet. Barcelona is just the better team.

          What is poetry….  

Is poetry the act of simply making sentences sound as beautiful as blah blah blah I am no hypocrite. Is this “language” just created by throwing fancy words together: He just couldn’t communicate in words the way he smacked himself with canker-blossoms just because the girl he liked loves the smell. What is a canker-blossom? I have not the slightest clue. Could Shakespeare have been a miserable man that had nothing better to do then put his dying thoughts together making some of the most beautiful plays come to life, probably not. Did Christopher Marlow get killed in a pub fight because he was a mad-man, again most likely not true.

            What is judgment…  

A common phrase is: don’t judge a book by its cover, but you can see traits. Like if you look at a man with an expensive suit with his head held high without even a hint of a smile on his face. He is walking down a city street expecting everyone else to get out of the way, could you not say that he thinks that is better because he has more money then you. Or a skinny young man in flip-flops running through the snow at Harvard University, could he not have an idea that could change social networking forever. What can you tell about me besides the fact that I am completely out of my young mind! Who’s to say that you can pick things out of a scene? Are we not told to predict what a story is going to be about by the cover of the book? This could be said not to be judgment, but people have gotten lazy to the point where we don’t know the difference from someone’s traits and the way you judge them. What is my favorite color, what are my hobbies, what is my name? If you look close enough you can take some pretty good guesses. I enjoy confusing people, (turn around quickly) what was that! Gosh who knew that leprechauns don’t enjoy being touched by people and who knows if unicorns really like leap-frog, do you no what I mean? No you don’t, and you know why? Because I started that with I enjoy confusing people and I do consider you a person. “Ramble on”, said Led Zeppelin, but I must come to a stop at some point so I will live you hanging with this….

Chase Utley

Chase Utley

       “It’s back to the wall, its outa here! Chase Utley’s first major league hit is a grand-slam homerun,” said Harry Kalas in the session of 2003.

          Chase Utley has been “making hey” in major leagues since his debut on April 4^th, 2003. Many announcers say that he is the best hitting second basemen in the MLB. In his 8 year career he has hit 173 home-runs and has 637 runs batted in. One thing he never gets much credit for is his sold fielding skills only have 86 errors in his 8 sessions at second base (keep in mind that there are 162 games a year). 

          Chase has also been known for his toughness, for example he has been hit by 125 pitches in his career, but he has never tried to knock over a catcher to be safe at home. He never goes out of the rules to succeed.

           “Nobody should be satisfied in this game. Maybe Barry Bonds, but maybe even he wants to be better.” – Chase Utley

A Brief History of Baseball

          This game has been known as America’s past-time seen Babe Ruth hit 60 home runs in one session. The one thing a lot of people would like to know is where baseball came from. Most people think that baseball was invented off the idea of cricket, but baseball historians think it is more like the English game rounders.

           The first real record of baseball is when it was banded from playing around a town meeting hall. The first real set of rules was written in New York in 1845. Even though there had already been teams for towns and cities. 

          Baseball plays a small, but powerful part in the U.S. history.  For example: after 9/11 occurred, the first sports event was held in Philadelphia at the Veterans’ Stadium. There had been an interview with one of the men who played that day who said that he didn’t even remember the score.

          People more then ever are cheering on their local team, but baseball is a conmen language among the fans. Whether you are a Philadelphia Phillies fan of a New York Mets fan, you are a baseball fan.
