So I was reading my friend’s blog and it inspired me to get into blogging again. I will hopefully keep this up, but I make no promises. I need some people to read my blog first, though. So if you’re reading this right now you should keep checking back to read my other posts. By the way, the guy’s blog that I was reading was pretty good so you should read it too.

Kela’s Request

I was talking to Kela and she told me to post something about elephants. So that’s what I’m doing. Elephants are big and they have huge ears (some of them can even fly). There’s a funny youtube video of an elephant sneezing and scaring itself, it’s pretty funny. So that’s all I’ve got on elephants for now.

I’ve got the Nasty!

I recently discovered, at pitching practice, that I have a super good curveball. It has so much movement on it that I don’t think any 12 year old could hit it. I can’t throw it all the time though, because it’s not very good for your arm. But if an opportunity to throw it comes, I will definitely be striking that batter out. It was funny though, at practice, one of my coaches kept wanting to see it again and again, like it was a new toy and he was 8 years old. Then my other coach (my pitching coach) was kind of like the voice of reason and says “Just don’t fall in love with it.” I haven’t fallen in love with it, but I think my other coach has. Any way I then remembered that a curveball’s nickname is cheese (a fastball’s nickname is gas). That got me thinking, why on Earth is a pitch called cheese? I mean, of all the things to name a pitch, why cheese? Did somebody throw a piece of cheese and it curved, or did they wrap a ball in cheese and then throw it? Well whatever it is, I can throw it now, so I’ve got some cheese.

Sox Aren’t Looking Good

This season for the Red Sox so far has been pretty darn bad, verging on terrible (if it isn’t already there). The only team that’s doing worse in the AL east is the Baltimore Orioles, who are 2 and 11 (that’s 2 wins 11 losses for all you non-sports fans) versus the Red Sox 4 and 8 record. They just can’t seem to hit and a key part of that problem is David Ortiz. Ever since Manny Ramirez left a couple of years ago he just hasn’t been the same dominant force that he used to be. I have a feeling that when Ramirez left he took a little piece of Ortiz with him. The Red Sox pitching, though, is another story, starting with Becket. You can argue all you want, but something is wrong with him. Like Ortiz, he just isn’t as dominant and good as he was a couple of years ago, and it’s just going downhill. Right now one of their best pitcher’s is John Lackey, a new addition to the team this year. Speaking of new additions, that could be another reason why the Red Sox are not doing so hot. They have almost a whole new infield and a new center fielder. The team just needs to bond a little bit more with the new additions and maybe things will pick up. Last year the Red Sox weren’t doing to well at the beginning of the season either, but then things started to go better as the season went on. That being said, I still have the utmost faith in the Red Sox.

It’s my arch!

So yesterday was my first day back at school after spring break. The moment I walked into science class my teacher said “Dude! You want to see something cool?” I said yeah and she took out her phone and went to her pictures. She scrolled through a bunch of pictures of Utah where she had apparently gone for spring break. She finally stopped on one rock formation. She said “First look at the rock.” By then the whole class had accumulated around her so she showed the picture of the rock formation to everybody, then she said “You want to know what it’s called? It’s called Joe Wilson arch!” (that’s my name if you didn’t already know that) we all laughed and I said that that was crazy and she showed us a sign that told the story of why it was called that. Now my teacher calls me arch. Just another day in science class.

Go Sox!!!!!!!!!!

As last week’s picture of the week said, the Red Sox opening night was on Sunday, and it was against none other than their biggest rival, the New York Yankees. But the good news is, is that the Red Sox won! Josh Beckett, the Red Sox starting pitcher had a tough night though, giving up 5 of the Yankee’s 7 runs. Luckily the Red Sox came back from trailing 5 to 1 and tied it up at 5. Then the Yankees scored two more runs the next inning, but that’s all they got the rest of the night. The Red Sox then scored four more runs to make it 9 to 7 in the ninth inning. Jonathan Papelbon, the Red Sox closer (and my favorite player) shut the Yankees down and kept them from scoring any more runs. So the Red Sox won opening night, and Red Sox nation is happy and contempt, for now.

SNOW DAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It all started with rain, lots of rain, in 6th period at school. The rain got stronger and stronger until it was pouring extremely hard. Then while I was going home a tiny bit of snow started to get mixed in with the rain. Then about ten minutes after I got home it was full on snowing. It didn’t take very long for that snow to start accumulating on the ground. It was really coming down hard the whole rest of the day. My sister and I then got on the computer and looked up the school closures. We scrolled down the list and were extremely happy to see St. Vrain Valley district listed as closed. SNOW DAY!!!!!!

I Won!

Last weekend my baseball team had their first tournament of the year. Well not the whole thing because the games on Saturday got canceled due to snow. But anyways on Sunday we had three games and we won them all! So we were the tournament champions! We got these cool metals, and now I’m all happy.

I recently saw the movie Avatar. As many of you have probably heard or said yourself, it was an awesome movie. It was pretty long but I think it flowed very nicely and kept you interested with something happening all the time. I also thought that the beginning was very good. It kind of jumped right into the story, and you didn’t have to wait forever for something cool, interesting, or exciting to happen. The part that I thought was great was the middle to the end. The creativity and action of the ending battle was amazing and kept me watching, not that it needed to, I was already hooked about 15 minutes into the movie. I highly recommend you go and see Avatar, it will definitely be worth your time.
