What A Game!

The New Jersey Jackals faced, my bad, were supposed to face the Sussex Skyhawks today. It was going to be a great game between the 3rd place Skyhawks and the 4th place Jackals. Both of their era's were terrible so the scoring was going to be intensely high. Jackals manager along with the hitting coach and 1st base coach said,"Fourth place is not where we want to be so hopefully we could end up in a higher ranking in the end." Today might have been their change around game. Of course there is also a chance that they would have gotten dominated and gone on a losing streak. I guess we'll never know but I think we can guess which one would have happened. The LOSING STREAK! The rain was a savior for the Jackals today. The rain was coming down so hard it made a puddle in shallow left field. It would have been funny if someone slipped trying to catch a ball. Even with the rain though, a player was playing Running Bases and Slip and Slide at the same time. He scored a run with a beautiful dive at home plate. WHAT A GAME!! WHAT A GAME!!!!!!!

Turned Around

   After a horrendous season last year finishing in last place, the New York Red Bulls are now fighting for first place halfway through this season.  There is a whole different mentality from last season to this season. Many things could have caused this turn around. One is just practicing harder and putting in more effort. Another reason might be the fans. A reason that many people might say the Red Bulls turned around this season is the new stadium. The new stadium gives the Red Bulls new training facilities, a warm-up room, and much more to improve their game. This stadium gives them a great home field advantage with the sound level being higher than other stadiums. With 16 games to go in the season, Red Bulls are trying to make their 4th playoff appearance. Led by captain Juan Pablo Angel, the Red Bulls will try to take first place in the Eastern division and win the MLS finals.

Will It Ever Be Broken

   Bruce Harper (a former player of the New York Jets) holds a record for most kick returning yards in Jets history! He can't believe that he holds a record but he said, "I was just having fun." He has held this record for over 30 years. The question is: Will his record ever be broken by another Jet's player? If so, how long will it take for it to be broken? He had never played special teams before he was on the Jets so to hold a record for that long is incredible. Bruce had many more years left in his career. Unfortunately he needed surgery on both his knees right after another ending his career. Imagine how many more kick returning yards he would have had if he did not get injured.
