Angels and Yankees

The LA Angels played the New York Yankees last night. The Yankees only had to win one more game and they would be in the World Series. The Angels came up with a 7-6 comeback victory that resulted in the Yankee's 3-2.

"Anything is possible, man," Angels outfielder Torii Hunter said. "Baseball is a crazy game, man. You see some crazy things. Every time you come to the game, you've probably been to 1,000 games, and you see something different every year."

The sixth game is on Saturday at Yankee stadium. There has been some talk about the weather being nasty and the possibility of a huge rainstorm.

Everyone is tired of seeing the New York Yankees go to the World Series, unless you are a Yankees fan. I want to see different teams go to the World Series every year. Hopefully the LA Angels can pull together another victory and make it to the top.

Some of the players that played a huge role in the victory were: John Lackey, Brian Fuentes, and Erick Aybar.

Bengals are back!

Can you say Who Dey? The Cincinnati Bengals are back and better than ever! Their record currently stands at an amazing 4-1.

People all over the Country people are calling the Bengals the "Cardiac Cats" because every game always comes down to the last possession and we end up winning. Carson Palmer always seems to push the ball down the field with under a minute and throw a touch down pass.

Cedric Benson is the number one running back in the entire leauge for rushing yards. He currently has 487 yards, beating Adrian Peterson by a few yards. Also, Chad Ochocinco is stepping his game up and is making huge plays for the Cincinnati Bengals. He has 352 yards so far this season.

A couple other players that are doing good are Andre Caldwell, Chris Henry, Johnathan Joseph and Antwan Odom to name a few. Antwan has 8 sacks right now. The defense is really picking up this year and it has kept us in games. I believe that we should be 5-0 if it wasn't for that last secong interception against the Broncos.

The Bengals are playing like a playoff team right now and it is awesome. I can't wait to see them face off against the Houston Texans. I'm going to be at Paul Brown Stadium to witness it live!

Homecoming Football Game

This year's Homecoming matcup is against the Mt. Healthy Owls. Norwood is at a record of 2-4. Mt. Healthy's record is 3-3. The game could go either way. Hopefully the Indians can pull through and have another win to go with thrie record.

Mt. Healthy has a productive defense as well as a hard working offense. A majority of the defensive players play aggressive, and tend to go for sacks and interceptions very often. So far this year, the Owls have had seven intetrceptions following eleven sacks.

Mt. Healthy also has a quick offense. They rely on their quickness and defense to win games. Some of their star players consume of Mark Cornist, Devin Brown, Logan Perdue, Denzel Larkin, Allen Carter III, and more.

The Norwood Indians are showing great potential to beat Mt. Healthy. The momentum will be on our side for the game tomorrow because it's Homecoming. If the Indians win tomorrow, they will be 3-4, which will make them one game behind of being at 500.

I am excited for the game tomorrow as we as the Pep Rally, and the dance. If you support Norwood, come down to the game tomorrow night.

The Cincinnati Reds

The Cincinnati Reds are 76-82. They are ranked foutrh in their division. They haven't had a winning season in what it feels like forever. The last time the Reds went to the playoffs was in 1995. Although, we did manage to win five world series. The dates we've won are 1919,1940,1975,1976, and 1990.

We haven't done good since. The Cincinnati Reds have had some great players through out the years. Some of them are Pete Rose, Joe Morgan, Ken Griffey Jr, Frank Robinson, and Johnny Bench. Too bad they couldn't have winning seasons or a world series trophy sitting on their mantles at home.

More than most sports, baseball thrives on tradition. Nowhere does baseball tradition run more deeply or more passionately than it does in Cincinnati. The Queen City gave birth to the first openly professional baseball team four years after the Civil War, and the town has been represented by a team every year since 1881.

The Cincinnati Red Stockings became baseball's first professional team in 1869. They began with a 45-9 thumping of a team called the Great Western of Cincinnati, then proceeded to win nearly every one of its more than seventy games against overmatched amateur teams in the Midwest. They finally lost a game in 1870, when the Brooklyn Atlantics bested them 8-7 in extra innings.
It was a 19th Century no-brainer that the Red Stockings would be a charter member of the National League in 1876. However, Cincinnati's start in the League was rocky to say the least.

The Red Stockings didn't fare as well as their 1869 predecessors, finishing 9-54. After four seasons, Cincinnati was kicked out of the National League for playing baseball games on Sunday and for selling beer during games. Both were National League no-no's at the time.
