Baseball

I am a big baseball fan . I collect baseball cards , and my favorite baseball team is the Chicago Cubs . They aren't doing that well . Some people on there team are doing pretty good like Greg Maddux and Carlos Zambrano is doing awesome his record is 8 and 3 . I still wish the Cubs were doing better though.

Review of The Boy Who Saved Baseball
The book called The Boy Who Saved Baseball. It's actually a pretty good book. It's about this baseball team that was going to a championship and it was real hot. The good part is that they won but somebody on their team died of heat exhaustion. So it was a pretty sad book.

VBS
This week in VBS I had a bunch of fun. We've been playing different games like Melt Away,Iceberg,we even got to box. Boxing is real fun especially when it's in a moon jump. And that's what we did it in. It was awesome. We had Bible lessons about courage mostly. We read some Bible verses. Those were also real cool. I had a bunch of fun.

Lunchroom Lunches
Have you ever had a lunchroom lunch? If you haven't, don't get one. There not that good. I go to Vinemont Middle School and if you think you've had a bad lunch and you've never had a school lunch. You have never had a bad lunch. Our school serves nasty stuff like Beefaroni, Z Rib Sandwich, Fish Nugget's', Broccoli and Cheese, Sour Crout and Tomato's, and I usually like Smashed Potato's but not when you see stagnent water on it. So now you see why I hate the schools lunch's

jokes
Is chicken soup good for your health? Not if your a chicken. Knock Knock Who's there?Amis. Amiss who? Amiss you.That's why i'm here. Did you ever here the rope joke? Skip it. How do you stop a rooster from crowing on Friday?Eat him on Thursday. How do you know if it's raining cat's and dog's? If you step in a poodle. I know these are pretty stupid jokes.But I did'nt make them up.Scholastic did.I just had to write something.

Gulf Shores
On Friday the 17th of March we prepared for our vacation.We ate at Chic Fil A then we went to Wal Mart.On Saturday we got up early and left to Gulf Shores.When we got there we got a campsite and set up our tent.After that we went to the beach.It was real fun but the water was cold.We built big walls of sand close to the ocean to see if we could stop the water from going past it.We went to Lamberts that night. On Sunday we went to a fort from the Civil War .It was called Fort Morgan, it might have been the most fun part of the trip to me.Then we went on a 45 minute ferry ride to Dauphin Island, it was very windy.When we got there we went to a aquarium.Then we went the farthest west you can possibly go.We found tons of krabs and shells.Then we went to Bayou La Batre for a few minutes.Then we went back to Dauphin Island and got back on the ferry and went back to Gulf Shores.Florida was only 5 to 7 miles away so we went there for about a minute just so we could say we went there.We went to Hazel's Seafood that night. Then Monday we went back to the beach one more time the water was a little warmer.We got all sandy.Then we went to McDonalds.After that we went home. BY: David Wilhelm

Teams
Some teams have made some great trades like these teams, the Los Angelous Dodgers, Atlanta Braves, Chicago Cubs, and the New York Mets.The Dodgers have gotten Rafael Furcal from the Braves.The Braves have gotten Edgar Renteria for shortstop, even I did not think it was good that Furcal left but I'm glad they got Renteria.The Cubs have gotten a new centerfielder,Juan Pierre who is an amazing ballplayer, and the Mets got a really good 1st baseman/pinch hitter whose name is Julio Franco.The Dodgers also got another real good shortstop whose name is Nomar Garciaparra but they are unexpectedly using him as a first baseman.I never thought that would've happened but we will see what happens.The Cubs also got a new prospect for first baseman who's name is Brandon Sing.

Sammy Sosa
Sammy Sosa has had a great career.Earlier today I heard that Sammy Sosa rejected a 500,000 major league deal with the Washington Nationals.He was expecting at least 1,000,000 dollars and the Nationals wouldn't do it.I hope he plays at least to get 600 homeruns.He only needs 12 more homeruns to do it.He's done so much for baseball.He's also my favorite.So I would give him a 1,000,000 contract because I believe he could easily have a better year than last year.He's the only one ever to get 60 or more three times and he's also has the record for the most homeruns in a month which was 20.In 1998 he was the MVP.Sure he did have a corked bat but that's just one mistake.I mean look at all the good things he's done.I feel that people should stop saying bad things of not only him but everybody.Sammy Sosa an amazing 588 homeruns.There's only four players that have more homeruns than he does.

Wait Till Next Year part 2
As I was saying in my article about the CUBS, it will be hard to pass the Cardinals for 1st place but I think they can do it this year. I left off the CUBS' infield. At shortstop will be Neifi Perez who is very good defensively, even though they lost Garciaparra. I still think they'll be good. They also have a very young shortstop, Ronny Cedeno. At third base is Aramis Ramirez who is very good offensiveley and defensiveley and hits 30 HR plus. At catcher is Michael Barrett who is very good offensiveley and defensiveley, he had his career high 24 HR last year. I've already told you about first base, second base and outfield on part 1 but i'll say it again. For the outfield they have Jacque Jones who gets 20 plus HR's a year. At centerfield will surely be an ace, Juan Pierre, who gets 50 or 60 steals a year. He can bunt for hits and is also very good defensiveley. Their leftfielder Matt Murton is also good. For 1st base and 2nd base is Todd Walker and Derrick Lee who last year had 46 HR's 107 RBI's and had an average of .335. Now doesn't that tell you something? Todd Walker their 2nd baseman who is very good defensiveley.

Wait 'Till Next Year
I have a feeling the Cubs are going to have a good year in 2006. They've had a bunch of trades, and have got a few free agents. I have been paying attention to who they've gotten. They've gotten a new rightfielder, Jacue Jones, for leftfield is probably going to be Matt Murton, for centerfield will surely be an ace, Juan Pierre, he's still very young and fast and he gets 50 or 60 steals a year. He also is very good defensively. For the infield they still have a very good first baseman Derrick Lee, for second base Todd Walker. I will write more soon.
