THE GOOD:
1. Prom 2010 was amazing 
: Our school really did a great job with our prom. They really worked hard so us seniors (and some underclassmen.. ’cause apparently underclassmen can go to a senior prom. I never understood that but whatever!) Our prom was held in the V2O club in Long Beach, CA. About 14 of my friends took a white limo and had a great time! The food was amazing (although I didn’t eat much of it because I was too busy dancing!) and the atmosphere was just great. I had a really memorable time. Prom ended around 11 PM and then our community threw us an after prom party at the local gym. There were games (rock climbing, mechanical bull, fortune telling, etc etc), food, all sorts of things! All free for us students! That ended around 5 AM and I had a blast PICTURES TO COME SOON!

2. Roy Halladay (aka my favorite player) threw a perfect game!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!: Geez louise Doc that was WAY overdue! 
Yesterday, in front of some misplaced Phillies fans?, Roy Halladay threw 115 pitches (11 strikeouts) to no hit (and no walk) the Marlins (Josh Johnson only gave up 1 run) to become the 20th pitcher in baseball history to throw a perfect game (and the Phillies’ second pitcher to throw one as well). He was given the pitching rubber from the Marlins organization.I couldn’t be more happier for the guy! He’s the best in the game in my opinion and for him to celebrate like that feels good. He deserves it! He has always had perfect game stuff and he came close multiple times during his Toronto days. It’s just a joy for me to watch all 27 outs and seeing him (regularly a very stoic figure) so darn happy! Congratulations Mr Harry LeRoy Halladay. Thanks for being classy

THE BAD:
1. David Huff’s injury: Before I continue I would just like to say that David Huff is indeed okay. He was taken to a nearby hospital after the accident and tests came out negative. Alex Rodriguez hit a line drive that hit Indians’ pitcher David Huff square in the head. (Near the left ear). It was certainly a scary situation and possibly one that needs further investigation. Pitchers are very vulnerable once the ball is out of their hands. They don’t have any protection and are open to getting hit by a line drive especially near the head area. I read this article about a college student who got hit in the head twice. He is believed to be the only pitcher who has been hit by a line drive twice in his career. For people to bounce back and get on the mound again after that is just amazing. There have been quite a few students that have been seriously injured or killed by a line drive to the head and it’s incredibly unfortunate. Matt Hiserman (that’s his name) now wears a head protection pad under his cap to minimize the chance of injury. I don’t know what MLB is going to do about pitcher protection but it is food for thought.
2. Torii Hunter’s injury: Torii Hunter got hit by a fastball on his left hand on Saturday and had to leave the game. He’s one of our offensive (and everything else) leaders and for us to lose him would be bad. Hopefully it’s not as bad as it looked/sounded.
THE UGLY:
1. OY VEY KENDRY MORALES!: I don’t know what to say. I’m speechless. I’ve never had such mixed emotions in a baseball game before.. Or I’ve never had emotions that took a 360 degree turn. It went from jubilation to confusion to disbelief to absolute devastation. For those who didn’t hear already: A Saturday afternoon game against the M’s soon went into extra innings. In the 10th the Angels loaded the bases with Kendry Morales (Angels’ leader in HR and RBIs, offensive juggernaut) at the plate. Morales hits a game winning (5-1 Angels win) grand slam. He runs the bases, turns around third, starts running happily to the crowd of teammates waiting to bounce on him and as he begins to jump into his teammates…… he slips and fractures his ankle. And the booming crowd and teammates suddenly goes dead quiet out of disbelief. We could go one way and talk about how it was ridiculous of players to celebrate as if the game was game 7 of the WS. And that celebrations like these are what cause freak accidents. True. Sosh said himself that this accident will definitely change the way they celebrate in the future. But I think the most important thing is Kendry Morales and his ankle. As of right now he is going to go into surgery, though it is delayed because of severe swelling. Docs are pretty optimistic that he won’t miss the entire season. It just hurts because he contributed the most offensively in the team and he was having an incredible all star season. Unfortunate that it had to happen that way. Now we have a hole at first that we have to take care of.
Sometimes things happen that remind me of why I love baseball and there are times where I just shake my head and think “only in baseball”. I guess that’s just the beauty of it. Now it’s almost time for me to graduate, almost time for Ray Allen and the Celtics & Pau Gasol and the Lakers (ugh this match up again… some people like the rivalry and some people ahem me just want a little bit of a change once in a while but it should be fun though) to square off and baseball to continue!
till then
