Welcome to the Wild World of Sports. In my blog, I take national sports news, along with some local spotlight (Nashville, TN), and add my perspectives and opinions to it. I am currently a high school senior aspiring to become a sports broadcaster.

Unexpected Twists

If I said to you during Spring Training this year...
-Ubaldo Jiminez will be 10-1, have thrown a no-hitter, and have an ERA of 0.78
-Jason Heyward will propel the Braves from last place to first place in the NL East
-There will be 2 perfect games, one of them thrown by Dallas Braden
-The Padres will lead the NL West, the A's the AL West, and the Reds the NL Central
-The Rays will have the best record in baseball, considered by most to have the best team in baseball
... would you have believed me?

I didn't think so. In a crazy April and May we have seen about everything we could see in baseball. I could go on and on about the crazy statistics and facts about this upside-down, interesting, year in baseball. For instance, the Phillies held the Marlins to 1 run in a 3 game series! Kendry Morales of the Angels broke his leg celebrating a walk-off home run! The Reds scored 27 runs in two games, and were the first in the NL to 30 wins!

All in all, this has been quite an exciting year, with a ton of ups and downs, and we haven't even gotten to the All-Star Break yet! Gentlemen, keep up the good work!
