Early Baseball

Picture from here


An issue that has been bothering me is the fact that baseball practice is not starting early enough for my team. It is my coach's coach and he decides when we start, but my team thinks we should start baseball practices early or do a fall baseball league. It would be better to break in the new season by having practices outside in September rather than having baseball practices in the gym when we just do a bit of tee work and base running when we could be outside doing fielding drills and hitting in the cages. Plus, we could get a jump start so after we are done with Fall Ball or fall practice we could wait 2 months and winter practices would start and we would be getting in 5 months of practices in so when our first tournament comes around we will be prepared and already be ready rather than playing our first tournaments without much practice. I know that the decision is up to my coach and with it only being our 3rd season together I can kind of understand but if we want to win our early tournaments we need to start practices early.

Continental Get Together

Picture from here

Modern day Pangea? What if it happened? Well I would be freaked and excited. Traveling would be faster and easier. I could visit Paris, Rome, Greece, a bunch of foreign countries I would have never considered visiting, but if a modern day Pangea occurred, then I would reconsider. The thing that would freak me out would be the crime and acts of terrorism and a world war. All of these things would be at large with us together. Groups from the Middle East could come to our country and be a bigger threat than before. I know that we have a strong Army and the security crossing the boarder to the USA would be great, but it is scary to think about sharing a continent with everyone. Culture my be changed if we were all together as well. a lot of USA trends might spread throughout this whole continent. It would be cool to experience other cultures as well. China's culture is very interesting and secretive, but with everyone together that would be amazing to study it. But what am I worried about? I will be dead by the time another Pangea happened.

Waino Shuts Em Down

Picture from here

On September 17, 2014, Adam Wainright, pitched his 26th shutout last night against the Milwaukee Brewers. The Cardinals pulled off a two run lead with the help of Wainright's outstanding pitching. Wainright's ERA has gone up quite a bit since August, but if he keeps pitching like he has been, he can take the Cardinals to the World Series.

Big Appetite

Picture from here

My name is Jacob Raye and I am a chef for the Food Network. I have a new show and I will be making irregular, gigantic food. Tune in to my show and watch me make the biggest apple pie on earth for episode one of my show. I am prepared for the big challenge and ready to conquer the the pie. Why apple pie you might ask. Apple pie has always been one of my favorite things to make. Back in chef school, I made a pie three feet tall and named him "Piezilla." I have been making names for my food ever since. Names that are big and describe my big food. I am thinking about calling my pie, "Colossus" after I bake it to perfection. A big, sweet, crispy apple pie, who wouldn't be entertained by watching me make that! I can not wait to bake "Colossus"!

Never forgotten

Picture from here

Today is the 13th anniversary of a tragic accident that happened in United States history. Today we remember and honor the men and women that lost their lives and protected lives in this tragic event. On September 11, 4 planes were hijacked by terrorists. They committed suicide by flying their planes into the World Trade Center thriving with thousands of innocent United States Citizens. The first plane hit the top of one of the two towers and started smoking and eventually collapsed with all those people in the building and on the street. The second plane hit and brought down the second tower. That is when people started to realize that this was no accident, this was an act of terrorism. The third plane crashed into the pentagon a United States army base. The fourth plane however crashed into a grassy field. Two men on that plane took out the pilot so the plane would not hit the towers so less lives were harmed. We honor all of the people on 9/11 who lost their lives. They may be gone, but they are never forgotten.

Cardinals Pull Ahead

Picture from here

The Saint Louis Cardinals have now taken the lead in the National League Central Division which means that the Cardinals will have a great spot in the NLCS this post season. The Cardinals have really improved in their hitting with Peter Bourjous' bat getting hot piecing together some doubles as well as several RBI's in the Cardinals past 3 games. With the Cardinals winning and the Milwaukee Brewers in a slump, the Cardinals should be on top for a while. With October approaching, the wins and losses really start to add up as every team wants a shot a the World Series.

Magic House Selling

I am a real estate agent for magical homes. I am a little creeped out but I get used to it. Selling magical homes is cool because you can be able to see different types of magical houses. Humans love to buy them. There would a lot of fun in the world if you could have a magical home. I sell them for a lot since they are magical and irregular. Imagine houses that could make your breakfast, turn on the TV, fold your clothes, clean your house, and more. And I sell them!
