Completely Messed Up: Halfway through the MLB Season- AL

If you take the time to look back on the 2008 MLB season you will think: This is completely messed up! Well guess what; your right! The 2008 MLB season is full of Cinderella teams; cellar to stellar players; comeback player; first to worst; and no-name all-stars!
First, they changed their name and totally changed their franchise: The Rays. They reached 50 wins 2 days ago, which was one month and one day faster than they ever had. And they did this after just last year winning only 66 games, and being outscored by as many runs as games that they played: 162. Now they have outscored opposing teams by 58. 220 run turnaround. Wow. And they're doing this while having the lowest payroll in the MLB, their most expensive player only costing 6 million dollars. Their total pay roll: just a little over 43,000,000. Alex Rodriguez's individual payroll this year: 28,000,000. Wow. And they aren't really doing it with stellar play from their team members: leader in average- .280. Leader in homers- 15. Leader in RBIs- 47. Leader in wins- 9. Leader in ERA- 3.47.
Another Cinderella team: the Florida Marlins. But, I, personally don't believe they are a Cinderella story, because they are getting outscored this year. They just have a lot of hype because they were atop of their division. So I'll just move on. After saying one more thing: A-Rod has a higher salary by more than 5 million than the Marlins. So, I will give them some props.
Now, the cellar to stellar players. Featuring Ian Kinsler, Milton Bradley, Josh Hamilton, Xavier Nady, Carlos Quentin, Jermaine Dye, Jason Giambi, Jose Guillen, Justin Duchscherer, Cliff Lee, John Danks, Joe Saunders, Vicente Padilla, Shaun Marcum, and George Sherrill. Now, that is only the AL. I will tell you these players stats now: Ian Kinsler has a .324 average, 13 HRs, and 50 RBIs. Milton Bradley has a .321 average, 16 HRs and 49 RBIs. Josh Hamilton has a .308 average, 19 HRs and 80 RBIs. Xavier Nady has 10 HR and 49 RBIs. Carlos Quentin has a .284 average, 19 HRs and 61 RBIs. Jermaine Dye has a .301 average, 18 HRs, and 50 RBIs. Jason Giambi has a .264 average, 17 HRs, and 46 RBIs. Jose Guillen has a .277 average, 13 HRs and 61 RBIs. Justin Duchscherer is 8 and 5 with a 1.91 ERA. Cliff Lee is 11 and 1 with a 2.26 ERA. John Danks has a 2.50 ERA. Joe Saunders is 11-4 with a 3.06 ERA. Vicente Padilla is Vicente Padilla is 10 and 4. Shaun Marcum has a 2.65 ERA, and George Sherrill has 27 saves!
That is all I have for you today. Thanks for reading!

Why I screamed Owch! Yesterday

Yesterday, I went to my baseball game, as confident as ever. My team was undefeated, and nobody could touch us.

We were unstoppable. I was unstopabble.

So far that year, over our first  three games, I had been 11 for 13 with 13 stolen bases. 10 runs. On the mound I was 3-0. My team had won by 6, 10, and 10. Today looked like another routine game. Even though the other team was undefeated, a kid on their team, their pitcher, said we were going to kill them.

Odd Blog #2: Delayed Trade Deadline Summary Poem

Again, I know this is delayed, but, here you have it:

I don't like to move

I leave behind all my friends

But in the NBA many horses took there hooves

And looked to make new friends

As many players were traded

To a new home

The memory of them in their original home faded

Because they moved to a new home

Their old team thoguht that they were useless

So they cast them off

I can't believe that Seattle acquired such a mess!

They got no one for the players they cast off

In Dallas there was a big trade

As J- Kidd moved back

A big change in Dallas, that made

Because Jason Kidd moved back

Over in Cleveland there seemed no hope

Because no help was what LeBron was getting

And LeBron threatened that the answer to staying was nope

And then suddenly there was help LeBron was getting

There were many other trades

But those were just notables

Some needed to buy for their new home shades

Others to take them off that were notable

Odd Blog #1: Delayed Shaq Trade Poem

I know this is delayed, but, here's my poem about Shaq moving to Phoenix.

There was a big man

Who in Miami was playing in the sand

Then he heard he was to be traded

To a place that was defiantly not shaded

The place was called Phoenix

And many people thought that Shaq wouldn't mix

As the Suns played run- and- gun

But speed, people thought Shaq had none

He said that he will make them better

That on defense, he would be a netter

He wants to prove them wrong

And now I'm singing this song
