Giants Preveiw

It’s seven days until opening day for the SF Giants. They will play against the Los Angeles Dodgers in L.A. The Dodgers will probably be the top competitor for the Giants in their division. They have a very scary line-up. Brandon Belt is hot. He has seven home runs so far. Barry Zito also looks like he is pitching very well. Tim Lincecum looks like he’s doing better. Buster Posey has a high batting average. It’s not a lot of info but it is my update.

Lakers Update

The Lakers shouldn’t have lost to the Wizards. The reason they lost to me is because they thought they were so much better than the other team they started to play not as hard and they ended up losing to one of the worst teams in the league. Today they have a big game against the Warriors on the road. The Warriors are currently in sixth place who are three and a half games ahead then the Lakers who are in eighth place. The lakers have 12 games left and they want to move up to at least seventh place because I don’t think they can play the Oklahoma City. Oklahoma City is in first place and if the Lakers are in eighth place then they play each other in the first round of the playoffs. It would be easier to play the Thunder/Oklahoma City later in the playoffs when they have been challenged. Thats why they want to win these games to move up in the standings. They do play the Warriors one more time at home towards the very end of the season. Their schedule is mixed up. They will play easy teams like the Kings and the Timberwolves but also challenging teams like the Spurs and Clippers. This my Lakers update.

Making The Playoffs

The Lakers are making a comeback. They just beat the Bulls today. They are now two games over .500. That means that they have won two more games than they have lost. Kobe Bryant is playing spectacular. He had 41 points in their come from behind win against the Raptors. They are also in eighth place so if the playoffs ended today they would be in. I think they will make the playoffs and Kobe guarantees it. The one team they don’t want to play in the first round are the Thunder because they would want them to be challenged by other teams before the Lakers would play them. I think they are in good shape and that is my analysis.

Going To A New School

I just finished my first week of school. At first I was nervous but now I really like it there. The thing that I like about my old school be better is that all my friends are there. I’m not even in the same class as my best friend that transferred with me. I get to see him at math because are classes have fourth and fifth graders so the fifth graders go to his class and fourth graders come to my class. We are both fifth graders. On Tuesday and Friday we had substitutes and the class was so bad. People were dancing on tables. The yards are better than my old school too. There are four, four square courts, two outside basketball nets and there is a gym with a full basketball court with four extra nets. There are also bleachers. The last cool things are that fifth graders get lockers and I have a lot of friends already. I really like my new school so far.

My Christmas Gifts

For Christmas I got a lot of nice gifts. One of my personal favorites was my new iPad that am writing this post with. I also liked my new shoes and headphones. People also gave me really nice shirts. Another thing that I liked was two movie tickets that made it a lot cheaper for my dad when I went to the movies with my step mom and dad. I got yugioh cards and a mobile.I like all of my gifts and I am very thankful for them.

Being A Big Brother

My baby brother was born last month and it is different than when he wasn’t alive. His name is Alon. One of the differences are that every day someone comes over to see him. When he wasn’t born it was rare to have visitors unless there were parties. Another difference is that I can’t run around if he is in the same room as me. My dad and stepmom got me a video game to replace running around. I have to be very gentle with him. I don’t change his diapers but I know eventually I will have to. I don’t do much with him because he is still a small baby. It’s a lot different but I am happy that I have him.

Fantasy Football

I have a fantasy football team and I am in the playoffs. I didn’t have the team from the beginning though. The regular season just ended last week. I took over from someone that didn’t play and got kicked out of the league. He didn’t even draft. He let the computer draft for him. I ended up with a good team. I took over in week six and my team had only won one game. I started at 1-5. I had a lot of changes to make. After the season was finished I was in eighth place with a 5-8 record. It was still enough to make the playoffs. Since I was the team with the worst record in the playoffs I am playing the number one team. I am in bad shape because my opponent’s defense has forty points when they were supposed to score twelve and he still has a great quarterback, Tom Brady, and wide receiver, Wes Welker, that haven’t played yet. I am most likely going to lose but I think I had pretty good season considering how I started and I get to have my own team from the start next year.

My school’s soccer game

Yesterday I went to my school’s soccer game. It was the championship game. They lost five to one. I think what got them down was when someone scored to tie the game but it was taken away because of offsides. Offsides is when someone passes it to someone behind the last defender on the other team not including the goal keeper. I’m on a different team and I wished that I played in this game and their other seasons. I am glad that I came to support my friends’ in the championship game. 

Metchup

Last week my goldfish named Metchup died. He was four and a half years old. I am very sad that he died. You could tell he was getting old this past month. He didn’t move as fast as he used to and usually just stayed at one spot in his tank. When he was active, he was like a dog. When I would get home he swam around in his tank. I won him from my first carnival at school when I was in kindergarten almost five years ago. He used to fit in a coffee mug.

He had some good stories too. One time he jumped out of his tank and luckily my lola was home and she put him back into his tank so he survived. Another time my cousin put all his food in his tank at once. We had to put him in a small tank while we were taking the food out of his other one. I was so worried. He was a special fish. I miss and love him.

The Giants’ World Series Trip

I am a big Giants fan. They didn’t have a great regular season and were not expected to win the world series. In the most important part of the season they lost their best player and their rival the Los Angeles Dodgers made a block buster trade by picking up Adrian Gonzalez and other decent players. My uncles that are Dodger fans told me it was over. During that time I thought so too. Towards the end of the season the Giants got hot and maintained a good lead in their division. A couple weeks later the Giants had over a ten game lead in their division. They eventually got into the playoffs. In the first round of the playoffs they were going to play the Cincinnati Reds. In the first round of the playoffs the first to win three games wins the series. The Giants were down two games to none and they had to travel to Cincinnati. They came back to win the series three games to two. Later in the playoffs they had to play the St. Louis Cardinals. In the second round of the playoffs and the world series the first team to four games wins the series. The Giants had their backs against the wall again. They were trailing three games to one. They came out on top and won the pennant four games to three. The next series was the world series. The giants had to play the Detroit Tigers.

Last week I went to a world series game. What made it special is that it was my first world series game and my favorite team was playing.They went on to win the game and the world series. The bad thing is that they didn’t win here in San Francisco. I was surprised that they swept the Tigers because they are very good. I am lucky that I got to go because my mama has friends that got us a discount. There was a guy that told us that his son wanted to come but he couldn’t. I had a good time watching the Giants playing during the season and the post season. I’m glad that I got to go to an actual game instead of watching it on tv.
