1st Blog

Alright....here is a blog for my sisters that i'll try to keep up with...but, they'll probably not like it cause i imagaine all i'll talk about is sports!!! so beanie and katie, i'm apologizing in advance, but maybe you'll learn something new about sports...which is pretty much my life! :) (other than my fam and God of course)

anyways, so....the baseball playoffs.... i'm not some big obssessed MLB fan. i do follow it...and watch the braves just about every night during the summer. but...it's hard for me to sit down and watch two teams other than the braves play unless it's the playoffs. i do like baseball a lot and i think the main reason is because it's so American. there is nothing better to do sports wise during the summer than to be at Turner Field watching the braves. it's an unbelievable atomosphere. i love it! baseball is so relaxing to watch. to me...it's like this...you sit there drinking and eating and relaxing and then all the sudden....'bam'....EXCITEMENT...and then....you go back to relaxing.... there is nothing like it in the summer time! i do enjoy keeping up with the playoffs.....so...here are my picks for the post-season.....

in the national league....i'm cheering against the Cubs. Cubs fans SUCK!!! if you don't believe me...go watch them play the braves one game and you'll see how freakin' arrogant and annoying they are! i hope they go another 100 years without ever winning a title! GO DODGERS!!! i actually like Man-Ram...and i'd like to see Furcal succeed. Love Escobar to death...but why did the braves trade Furcal!?!?! can you imagine Furcal and Escobar as your middle infield!?!?!? as far as the Brewers/ Phillies Series...think the Breweres should lose just cause they fired their manager!!! Ned Yost is a good man...and he was just a scapegoat for the brewers near collapse. no way they beat the Phillies...who are STACKED! i predict the Phillies in the World Series!!!

as far as the American League.... i used to be a Red Sox fan until i went to Yankee stadium with my Dad and Brother a few weeks ago. Amazing place....AND i LOVE NEW YORK! i quickly became a Yankees fan being there...and learned to hate the Mets even more than i already did...(by the way, we went to Shea also...and the Braves whooped their butt, helping deny them a shot at the post season!) i guess i'm cheering for the Rays. i like stories where teams come from 'worst to first' and love it even more that they were able to do it against powerhouses like NYY and Boston. go Rays! do they have enough experience though!?!? if they don't make it...i'm cheering for the Angels...i just like that team. i think they got a lot of hard-working players. i like Vlad and Tex a lot. and i think their organazation is brilliant in the way they build their team. so....i predict....hmmmmm.....Angels out of the American league.....really a toss up on this one....

ok....think this is good for my first blog....1st blog and no football.....still kinda upset about the 'blackout' of the Dawgs from saturday night...but i'm sure i'll get to them soon!

anyways....LOVE YA SISSIES! hope this makes you happy!
