DID YOU KNOW?

2009-06-02T08:44:00.000-07:00

Did you know that the youngest player to reach the major leagues was just 15 years old. His name was Joseph Henry Nuxhall. He was an American left-handed pitcher in mlb who played most of his career for the reds . He held the team's record for career games pitch (484) from 1965 to 1975, and still holds the team mark for left-handers, though he was long most remembered for having been the youngest player ever to appear in a major league game in the modern era, pitching 2/3 of an inning for the Reds on June 10, 1944 at the age of 15 years, 316 days due to player shortages during WWII. Long known as "The Ol' Left-hander," he compiled a career era of 3.90 and a record of 135-117 during his 16-season career, with all but 5 of his victories being earned with the Reds. After retiring as a player, he became a broadcaster for the Reds from 1967 through 2004. Nuxhall died in 2007 after a long battle with cancer.

World’s Most Expensive Cars

2009-04-24T05:33:00.000-07:00

I was looking at Guinness book of world records and i came across an article that was taking about the World’s Most Expensive Cars and there is this car that cost 1.5 million. The car top speed was 253 mph and can go from 0 to 60 in just 2.5 seconds. the name of the car is Bugatti Veyro and only die hard car fan that are rich would probably get a car like this.

Yankees and Chien-Ming Wang

2009-04-21T08:49:00.000-07:00

The New York Yankees have one big issues they need to face because if they don't they might not win a lot of games. That one big issues is Chien-Ming Wang he's been struggling he loss the last three games for the yanks. His era is 34.50 he has allowed 23 runs on 23 hits in just six innings. He only pitched in three games he is probably the worst pitchier in mlb history. What i think the Yankees should do is keep him in the bullpen and have Hughes or Kennedy get called up AAA to replace wang.

Walk barefoot at a fast pace for 1 minute. What do you notice that’s different from walking with your shoes on? Think about your heel, outer foot, arch, and toes. i notice that your heel,outside, and arch start it hurt.

Stay barefoot. Now try taking shorter steps as you walk at a fast pace for 1 minute. Does this change the feeling in your heel, outer foot, arch, or toes?the feeling stays the same and also your toes start to hurt.

Put your shoes back on. Now walk at a fast pace for 1 minute. How do your feet feel now? i notice that i felt no pain when i was walking with my shoes.

Can you think of any benefits to your body if you walked barefoot more often? scientific studies show that when you walk barefoot your foot is healthier then when you use sneakers or shoes.

A-ROD TESTED POSITIVE FOR STEROIDS

2009-03-09T06:01:00.000-07:00

Turns out nothing is going to happen to A-rod because they didn't address the problem during the year he took steroids. In other news about a-rod he has to get hip surgery and would be out for 6 to 9 weeks. thats a huge set back for the Yankees because now they have to find a new 3 third base man for 2 month and a half.

2009-03-03T08:53:00.000-08:00

Alex Rodriguez tested positive for steroids in 03!!!

2009-02-09T15:23:00.000-08:00

A-Rod tested positive for steroids during the 3 years with the Texas Rangers.I was watching an interview on ESPN and they were saying that when he was with the rangers he took steroids.He admitted he took steroids because he felt an enormous amount of pressure because he wanted to preform well for his fans and because they were paying him so much.During the interview he said he was young,stupid,and naive.He is very sorry for that and regretful.He said he stop using them during spring training.I really don't know yet whats going to happen to A-Rod or as people call him A-Roid. You just have to wait till the next post about A-Roid.

De Beers controlled about 90% of uncut or rough diamonds.They want us to think that diamonds are rare and and high-priced.Magazines, advertisements, movies, songs, and music videos support De Beer by saying that the diamonds are admirable but they don't really mean that.

THE METS RE-SIGN OLIVER PEREZ,SHOULD THE METS SIGN MANNY

2009-02-02T05:53:00.000-08:00

THE MET'S RE-SIGN OLIVER TO A 3 YEAR 36 MILLION DOLLAR CONTRACT.HE WILL BE ONE OF THE STARTERS FOR THE MET'S. I'M SURPRISED THE MET'S DIDN'T SIGN MANNY BECAUSE HE IS ONE OF THE PLAYERS THAT ARE FREE AGENTS. THE METS GENERAL MANAGER DOES NOT WANT TO GO OVER THE BUDGET WITCH IS 160 MILLION THERE ALREADY AT 147 MILLION, I THINK THEY WILL GO OVER BUDGET JUST FOR MANNY.

Pettitte holding onto his pinstripes

2009-01-27T08:59:00.000-08:00

3 week's ago i was telling you about the discussion with the 36 year old veteran, Andy and the Yankees. i just heard that Pettitte agreed to a one-year $5.5 million but he could earn up to $12 million with incentives. It's great that Andy is back because all Yankee fans would be happy to see him on the team.

Chevron

2009-01-12T14:52:00.000-08:00

The three images in the video were astronauts,kids, and pilots. For the three picture I saw in the video Chevron put the pictures there because they want us to believe there not doing anything wrong. Like the oil spills in ecuador. The activist believe is that they are spilling toxic waste,people in ecuador are have to breath,and live throw these spills. Chevron do not care of others they just want to make money.

Pettitte rejects Yankees' contract offer

2009-01-05T05:36:00.000-08:00

I heard that the 36 year old pitcher Andy Pettitte has rejected a one year contract for 10 mill. He wants to return to the Yankees but he thinks he should get payed more. what i think Andy should do is take the deal because he might not get another offer. but what ever happens it would be great if he's back on the pitcher roster.

Bag the Bags

2008-12-22T05:47:00.000-08:00

The bags we throw out go to the sea or ocean. That is bad because the animals that live in the ocean eat the bags and end up choking on it. The ocean animals think food and eat it. To help and not cause deaths we can recycle the bags we use instead of disposing them.

Dear pet land

I just watched a video on where you get your puppies. You should stop supporting Puppy Mills. Animals raised in puppy mills lack in attention, medical care, clean food, and shelter. And they are sold everywhere at pet stores around the world. You should stop buying puppy mills because every year animals die because no one buys them. I mean have you seen the way the puppies in the puppy mills are treated. They live in cages with minimum room.This is why you should stop supporting puppy mills.

STOPPING PET HOMELESSNESS

2008-12-11T08:48:00.000-08:00

A responsible pet owner would make sure that there pet(s) had fresh water,fresh food.Taking your pet(s) to the vet when they get sick or taking them for there shots.Playing with your pet or walking your dog.The most important part if you do not want your pet to get pregnant is to get your pet sprayed.We can do a lot to prevent homeless pet(s) by rescuing them,finding homes for them.

YANKEES OBSESSION

2008-12-10T13:32:00.000-08:00

Last month i was writing about the yankees obsession about cc sabathia.last night i heard that cc sabathia wasn't gonna take the offer so they up the price and 1more year to a 7 year contract for 161 million. so of corse he was going to sign that contract.He did say he wanted to be closer to his home maybe play for the Los Angles Dodgers but come on that 161 milion!!

MANNY (PACMAN) PACQUIAO WON!!

2008-12-09T14:18:00.000-08:00

It's over! The dream match has ended and Manny Pacquiao has won another big fight, beating one of the greatest fighters he has faced. Pacquiao ended Oscar de la Hoya's dream of ending his career on a high note by stopping the Mexican-American in the ninth round. Oscar de la Hoya quit when he failed to answer the bell for the ninth round thus giving the Filipino fighter his biggest victory to date.The fight started slowly with both fighters seemingly feeling each other first, trading light jabs. Manny was unusually tame for the start of this fight, not the usual aggressor that we'reaccustomed to. The Oscar de la Hoya starts to throw stronger punches, starting with the body, but fails to land most of them. Manny's quickness and defense looked in tip top shape at this point. With every jab de la Hoya tried, Manny Pacquiao responded.As the fight wore on the aggression started, but only on one side. Manny Pacquiao began his relentless punches to the body, to the head, and Oscar de la Hoya seemed helpless in the flurry of blows that he was receiving. He tried to land his own jabs but weren't as successful as his Filipino foe. By the fifth round, Manny Pacquiao seemed to be landing his blows at will, still looking crisp and strong as when the fight started. Oscar de la Hoya, meanwhile, was looking slower, weaker. At this point, you could sense that only a knock would save him from losing this fight. He had to land a big one on Manny or else lose it in the decision, or be knocked out himself. Manny Pacquiao was wearing him down.By the seventh and eight rounds, it was almost over. Oscar de la Hoya was almost finished, his legs are gone. At one point he tried a big blow on Pacquiao's body, landing it squarely. But Manny taunted him as if saying it was nothing, it didn't hurt. The Golden Boy was obviously near the end of his fight at this point. And when he failed to come out of his corner at the start of the ninth, that was it. The Golden Boy has quit!

Animal Cruelty

2008-12-04T08:48:00.000-08:00

Animal abuse is when the owners of the pet(s) are not feeding them, when they are not getting the right shelter, treatment or beating your pet(s). For example there are dog fights that people arrange the way that works is to dog are put to fight mainly it's pit bulls because they are stronger. the object of the fight is to put two dogs to fight and eventually one of the dogs die or get severely hurt. The way we can prevent this from happening is to put those people is jail for being so cruel.

Yankees Obsession

2008-11-18T13:58:00.000-08:00

This year the Yankees are looking for pitchers i heard that they are offering C.C. Sabathia a 6 year contract for 140 million dollar!!! That the most they ever offer to pitchers. There still discussing but he would be stupid not to take that offer but if C.C. Sabathia does not make response back there going to drop him. Another player the yanks are looking at and made an offer to A.J. Burnett to a 5 year contract for 80 million. There might be a new starting pitcher for the Yankees next year.

extra credit-the economy

2008-11-18T08:57:00.000-08:00

foreclosure- basically foreclosure is when people who can't paid for there houses so they borrow money from the bank. Each month they make payments to the bank. If they stop paying the monthly payments the house would go to foreclosure which means the bank owns the house.

stolen laptop

2008-11-17T18:57:00.000-08:00

wow i just heard from my tech teacher mr. lahana that they stoled a mac laptop i was really shock but i see why they took it because it looks cool,expensive,and high tech, but it's really not good to steal espeicaly school property you can get arrested for robbing and probably get expelled, but i think school should do is put up some video camera.

2008-11-17T05:43:00.000-08:00

The most expensive thing i ever bought that i wish i never had bought was this really cool headphone for my ipod that cost about $100 dollars but the stupid thing about was that i lost it a couple of month later and then realizes that $100 dollars went right down the drain.

first African American president

2008-11-10T05:59:00.000-08:00

wow i would never thought a African American would become president not because am raciest but because every president who was elected was Caucasian . I am happy he is president not because he is black but because he said he was going to change the economy and give affordable health plan and is going to invest on early education so no child is left behind and other changes.

It's 5 o'clock my neck and back are still aching from chopping the weeds around the cotton plant. I drop out of school a year ago to work on the field. I work 12 hours a day. I worry about getting sick because they spray chemicals to kill bugs and bacteria. I would like to go to school so i can get a good education and get a better job.
