Baseball Season Around the Corner


The baseball season is around the corner, and I'm pretty excited. Baseball has to be my second favourite sport next to football. Theres nothing like a nice baseball or football game outdoors in sunny weather. People find baseball boring on television, but it's a whole different ball game when you are watching it live at the ball park. I love the 2 hour trips in the summer to watch the Seattle Mariners play.

The Mariners have a solid team this year. They picked up Erik Bedard, who is one of the best pitchers in the MLB. The Mariners also have Felix Hernandez, Miguel Batista, Carlos Silva, Jarod Washburn and one of the best closers in baseball J.J. Putz. This gives them a great pitching lineup.

I have high hopes for the Seattle Mariners and I strongly believe they will win their division, which is the AL West. They should make the postseason and they could possibly go for a long run in the postseason.

Mayweather competing in WWE

Floyd Mayweather Jr. is known as the best pound for pound boxer in the world today. Nobody has ever been able to beat Mayweather in the boxing ring since he started boxing in 1996. He is one of the most cockiest fighters in boxing today.

Recently the WWE has given the 147 lb Mayweather 20 million dollars to wrestle a 450 lb giant named The Big show at Wrestlemania.

I know wrestling is fake, but Mayweather is a boxer not a wrestler. His real punches will be useless in a fake wrestling match. However, I'm sure the WWE has Mayweather as the winner in this wrestling match, because its entertainment. If the WWE offered me 20 million for a fake wrestling match, I would do it too. I'm sure anyone would take this offer.

Golfer Kills Hawk

I'm not a golf fan, neither do I play golf. I actually find it one of the most boring sports besides curling. However, I do know that Tiger Woods is one of the most popular golfers of all time. Well Tiger Woods wasn't the most popular golfer last week. A golfer by the name of Tripp Isenhour stole the spotlight.

Tripp Isenhour was taping a tv show and a hawk started to distract him. What did Tripp Isenhour do? He started to fire golf balls at the bird. The hawk then moved closer, and Isenhour said, "I'll get him now." Isenhour fired and he hit and killed the bird. Now Isenhour may be going to jail or doing some community service. Isenhour later apologized and said that he was only trying to scare the bird. How are you trying to scare the bird when you clearly said, "I'll get him now."Isenhour needs a lesson from Michael Vick. Do not hurt animals, or you will pay the price.

Back to the Future


The Colorado Avalanche brought back Peter Forsberg and Adam Foote, returning their team to the way it was in 2001. It was reported that Peter Forsberg wouldn't return to the NHL this season because of a foot injury, but these were all just rumours.

Signing Peter Forsberg will help the Avalanche get closer to the Stanley Cup. Although some people may think of this as a huge risk, because of Forsberg's previous injuries. I believe it is worth the risk. There aren't many players as good as Peter Forsberg.

Adam Foote has been known as the Canucks killer in the past. He used to be one of the players the Canucks didn't like to play.

I believe that this Peter Forsberg and Adam Foote will help the Avalanche get to the Stanley Cup. The only piece of the puzzle their missing is Patrick Roy and Ray Bourque. They would be unstoppable if those two were still on the team. I like this move and hopefully it eliminates the Vancouver Canucks out of the playoffs.
