Return of Stat of the Day...

World Series RBI Career...Dice-K-2!....AROD-0!!!!

That makes me very happy and I must agree with all the fans that were chanting,"DON'T SIGN AROD!"

Are you World Serious????

I am still in shock about how things ended for the Boston Red Sox! 2 World Series Titles in 4 years! You have got to the kidding me??? This is the Boston Red Sox...the team that FOUND ways to lose! Now they are not just winning the World Series, but in dominating fashion! I am not sure how many times I said that there was NO way this team would win the World Series...too many to even go back and look for in this blog. But I am VERY happy to say I could not have been more wrong. This was a great team. During the season they never won more than 5 games in row and then when it mattered most they won 7 in a row! That is amazing. This team was built for the post season and built well. Another person that I must apologize publicly to is Theo Epstein. I questioned him all year and I could not have been more wrong. This was his team...he put this team together even more so than the 2004 team. Some of his moves were questionable, but they worked when it mattered most. Congrats to Theo...you have done it again!

So, there we go! The Sox are the Champs! Now I have nothing to write about....but I am sure that ESPN will give me plenty to rant about...they already have. I will get to that later. This never gets old.

WORLD SERIES CHAMPS!!!!!!

Amazing

I am not goint to lie. When the Sox went down 3-1 to the Indians I thought they would most likely not come back. I thought they would win game 5 with Beckett on the mound...but after that I was not so sure. But of course we all know the Sox came back and are American League Champions for the 2nd time in 4 years! It was a fanctastic comeback for the Sox in which the out scored the Indians 30-5 in the last 3 games. It was awesome and I am excited for the World Series. The Rockies are a very good team...so we shall see!

I am going to post some pictures of our trip to the beach in the next day for so. You will love the pics of Grace. This I can promise.

Gagne to Lopez...

BRILLIANT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Why would I post this video??

Because sometimes it is just fun to remember your childhood. Enjoy.

Greatest Sports Weekend Ever

Because today was Columbus Day and thus National Holiday, I have decided that last weekend was from Friday Night to Monday Night. And because of this it was the Greatest Sports Weekend Ever.

Let's Start with Friday...
Friday nights sports started at 8 with college football. My alma mater, The University of Utah, went to Louisville to play the Big East powerhouse. Well, they were a powerhouse last year...but that does not matter. The U has been up and down this year and their was NO reason to believe the U would win. BUT, after 3 hours of hard fought football the Utes gave Louisville on the road 44-35! Amazing!
BUT, Friday still had much more to it. At 8:37 the Boston Red Sox started game two ALDS with the Los Angeles Angles of Anaheim. This game was about as exciting as it can get. After about 14 hours of baseball the Sox finally finished off the Angles with a walk-off home run by Manny Ramirez. What a Friday.

Now let us move on to Saturday...
Saturday was all about college football when it came to sports. At 12 my current school, UNC, faced long time powerhouse Miami. There was absolutely NO way the Heels could come out with this win. BUT, in the end they did. A fantastic 33-27 upset.
This had very little to do with me, BUT my mom attended Stanford...so their upset of USC was sweet for her and added to this great weekend.

How about Sunday...
First, the New England Patriots continued their absolute dominance of the rest of the NFL. They did what they do and handled the awful Cleveland Browns 34-17. This was never in doubt and they rolled to 5-0.
Sunday sports belong to my Boston Red Sox. On this day they went for the sweep of the Angels and for most of the game it was close. But the bats woke up in the 7th and the Sox scored 7 runs to put the game away. After Gagne recorded the final out the celebration commenced and the Sox just had to sit a wait to see who their opponent in the ALCS would be.

Monday, oh blessed sports, Monday....
Just a few minutes ago the greatest sports weekend EVER was completed as the New York Yankees were officially knocked out of the FIRST round of the playoffs by the Cleveland Indians. Just knowing that they are out is the perfect ending to a perfect sports weekend.

Saving Health Care

As you all I know I am currently attending the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and am working on my Masters in Health Care Administration. For my class, Policy and Politics, we are working on a project that has to with the upcoming Presidential Election and the issue of health care. My group has created a blog named savinghealthcare.blogspot.com. On this blog we are discussing the health care views of the 3 main Presidential Candidates from the Democratic Party, Barak Obama, Hillary Clinton and John Edwards. The purpose of this project is to get the attention of the public when it comes to the issue of health care reform in the United States and that is were we need you all to get involved. Please visit this site and make comments about the issues that we raise. No matter your political ideology this site is for everyone to use so that we can find the best way to save the current health care system here in the United Sates.
