NFL and NBA



Since the MLB season is over and it won't start until April I'm going to start talking about the National Football League and the National Basketball League! My favorite basketball team is the Los Angeles Lakers and they won the 2009 NBA championship against the Orlando Magic. They have 15 NBA championships which is the second most behind the Boston Celtics who have 17. Last night the Lakers crushed the New Orleans Hornets 104-88 so now they have a 6-1 record and are tied for first in their division. Now the San Diego Chargers are my favorite football team. With their quarterback, Phillip Rivers and their runningback, Ladainian Tomlinson(LT) the Chargers are unbeatable. After getting off to a slow start, the Chargers have come back in their division. Last night the Chargers played the Giants and it was a great game. The score was 20-14 and there were 20 seconds left. Phillip Rivers threw a touchdown to Vincent Jackson to tie the game and then Nate Kaeding made a field goal to win the game 21-20. The Chargers(5-3) are second in their division behind the Denver Broncos(6-1) who will play the Pittsburgh Steelers tonight. Lets go Lakers.. and Chargers!

Yankees win 27th World Series




The New York Yankees have just won the 2009 World Series against the Philadelphia Philles in 6 games. The final score was 7-3 thanks to Derek Jeter and Hideki Matsui's 3 hits. So now the Yankees have a total of 27 World Series titles which is the most all time. Congratulations to both teams and next season will be even more competitive than this one. Andy Petite got the win and Mariano Rivera got the save. I predict that next season the Yankees will win it all again and they'll be more dominiant than ever. This was the Yankees first World Series since 2000 when they beat the New York Mets. Congrats to the 2009 World Series Champs, The New York Yankees!




This isn't it for the Yankees!


Wait till next season!

Talking Dogs!

Animoto

Animoto is a website where you can create great videos from your images! Animoto is fast, free, and easy. This website turns your pictures and videos into pure amazing. It is a lot of fun and it costs no charge. You could make videos in under a minute. I recommend this site to anyone who loves sharing their images with others and is good with the computer. This site is great!

VoiceThread

So what is Voicethread? Voicethread is a website in which you can talk with others and show images, videos, and much more. It's a new way to start a conversation with others. The reason you would probably use this in school would be if you wanted to express your images and thoughts with others. At the same time you learn from the other person. At home you could use this website to share pictures of your baseball game or vacation with your friends. This website is very helpful in many ways. I love it!

Image Generator

The cool thing about this site is that you could make goofy covers, posters, and much more. Image Chef was great and it was a ton of fun to make my own personalized jersey! Unfortunately, Comic Strip Generator was different. I spent 90 minutes trying to just get a picture on the website, but it kept switching my image with a puppy. I give Image Chef 5 stars, but I give comic strip generator none! Two thumbs down.

Phillies come back to win Game 4!

Even though the Phillies allowed the Yankees to come back, they were still able to hold them off in the ninth. Thanks to two homeruns by Chase Utley, the Phillies won 8-6. Now the series is back in the Bronx where Andy Petite will have a chance to win it all against Pedro Martinez!
Quick Fact: Utley's five homeruns this World Series ties him with Reggie Jackson for the most in a WS!

Game 4

Thanks to Alex Rodriguez's game winning double in Monday's game, the Yankees haver taken a 3-1 game lead in the World Series. The final score of the game was 8-5, but the series still isn't over beacuse the Yankees have to win in Philadelphia to do that. If the Yankees win it will be their 27 championship which is the most in MLB history! Let's see what happens tonight!

Yanks win Game 3!

Thanks to A-Rod and Andy Petite, the Yankees won Game 3 8-5. After the Phillies took a 3-0 lead the Yankees came back with a 2 run homer of their own and ended up winning in Philadelphia. Now the Yankees have taken back home field advantage and tonight C.C. Sabathia will take on Joe Blanton. It will be a great game!
Let's go Yankees!
