December Blog on Cliff Lee

Monday night Cliff Lee finally made his decision for continuing his profession as a professional baseball player. Instead of switching to the Yankees like everybody though he returned to the Phillies. Lee turned down bigger deals with the Yankees and Rangers he decided it felt right right where he started. His new deal goes for a five year 120 million dollar contract guaranteed. A really big reason Cliff Lee went to the Phillies is that Roy Halladay and their pitching staff next year will be ridiculous.

In my opinion Cliff Lee is making his decision for all the right reasons. To go back to his roots and where he began his major league career is a big factor. Also being added to their pitching core will make them very hard to beat next year. This Phillies team will most likely be one of the teams to beat next season.

week 11 blog

The Redskins have suspended Alber Haynesworth for four games. Haynesworth has not been performing well because he does not like Washington. For this reason he wants a trade. Instead of giving him the easy way out his coach suspended him for the next four games without pay. Haynesworth's actions is doing nothing positive for the teams because he is not doing what he is told.

In my personal opinion i believe this is a fair punishment because he originally agreed to play with this team. Because he does not like the team does not give him the right to go purposely agaisnt the rules just to switch teams. He should get traded because he is a good player but not for as much money as he deserves because of the stunt he has just pulled.

Decembe 1st Kanye West Blog

After releasing his album last Tuesday, Kany West sold 490,000 units of his new album. The albums title was "My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy." Kanye broke out another hit having his fourth consecutive album that hit the number one album spot on the billboard. Also out of the 490,000 sold 224,00 were sold online. This is the fourth larget digital selling of any album. After his controversial incidents last year Kanye reconciled his life and really put his heart into this album and it paid off.

My personal opinion to his "turn around" in life is that he really wants to right his wrongs. In most of his songs he talks about all the wrong he has done and apologizes. With going out vulnerable this album really paid off because he wanted to show the world he is not that person anymore and regrets being him in the past. Selling this many albums to me is
