Packers Gameday - Week 16, 2009 vs. Seahawks

Hello everybody! Welcome to the week 16 edition of Packers gameday! It's going to be an interesting game. The packers, who are pretty cold, will take on the 5-9 Seahawks, who should not be much of a threat. The Pack has better offense and defense, but the Seahawks have better special teams. Their kicker has'nt missed since week 3 VS the Bears (i'd like to make a shoutout to my Uncle and Grandpa in Chicago to tell him that Cutler needs only 4 more interceptions to match Favre's 29 in 2005). Crosby has missed a ton of field goals lately. Also, punter Kapinos is not as good as Seahawk's punter Jon Ryan (remember him, packer fans?). But overall, packers will win 31-17 (know what that means? Mason Crosby will make a field goal!)

Terrorist Attack on the U.S?

The Gecko Baseball Blog is not where I express my opinions on politics, but what the heck happened on that plane to Detroit! What happened was a Nigerian man tried to set of explosives on a plane (they were fireworks, I think). When he lit them, a man (or possibly a few) tackled him and put out the weapon? First of all, why did they let a man with fire works on a plane? And if those fireworks would have gone off, there would have been a disturbance in the people because we thought 9/11 would never happen again! Now, one plane crash is not as bad as 9/11, but what I really want to know is how did the fireworks (and the matches of flame starter) get on the plane? Were the airport workers terrorists too? Now, thankfully no one got hurt, but I am curious what this was. The man was a terrorist, so even though his attempt failed, yet another act of terrorism has been attempted. If we don't figure out how to stop terrorism, one of them will possibly succeed.

Why him, why the Yankees - Conversation #7

Curtis Granderaon is my favorite player in major league baseball, on one of my favorite teams - the Tigers. Wait, he's not on the Tigers - he's on the Yankees. Those money eating freaks took Curtis. Granderson. They traded the Tigers 3 players (probably worthless to the Yankees), and got Curtis.
So to show how I feel, I made a comedy conversation:

Curtis Granderson: I don't want to be a yankee!
Joe Girardi: We'll give you 1,019,694,423 Euros!
C:No.
J: 132,771,195,289 Yen?
C: No.
J: 922,338,178 Pounds?
C: No.
J: $1,500,000,000?
C: I'd never go to you fools (way to tell 'em, Curtis!)
J: Then i'll give the Tigers A-Rod, Rivera, and Texiera for you.
C: Wow, you are quite a mastermind. Not.
J: Then I'll buy the Tigers back!
C: Uh Oh.
J: Then the AL central! Then the AL! Then the NL! Then i'll buy the United states! Then i'll buy the world!
C: Ugh.
J: Then I'll buy enough money to make ma a quintillionare!
C: Huh?
J: Then i'll buy the UNIVERSE!
C: Good luck.

Twins VS Yankees - Game 1

Watching Twins be killed by Yankees. Why did they put Joba Chamberlian in in the 8th? With only 1 out left, they should put in Rivera! Anyways, It's the bottom of the 8th now, and the Yankees are winning 7-2. Ron Mahay pitching for Twins. Now I know enough about the Twins to know their bullpen. Joe Nathan, Jeff Manship, and Matt Gurrier are the only good bullpen members. Mayhay is scaring me by giving up LLLOOOOONNNNNGGGGG fly balls. Okay, Melky Cabrera. 1-1 count, and an 83 mph change mid away. 2-1. Oh, and another change, wiff! 2-2 count. And the pitch - 89 mph high 4 seamer fouled off. Oh! Slider on mid inside corner. Looked at - Strike 3! Okay commercial time. Ooo, is symbicort looks like a good drug. Now an MLB playoff commercial, and a Blackberry add. Okay, here it is. The Twins have 3 outs to get 5 runs. Okay, 0-1 count. 2 seamer hit foul. Curve - swing and a miss. 1 out. Matt Tolbert up, 0 for 2 tonight. 2-0 count now, here we go...fastball in there for strike 1. Next pitch - foul off leg. The fans are on their feet...and....FOUL BALL!!! Oh, on the corner, but ruled a ball. Full count - STRIKE 3 LOOKED AT! Come on, it's right down the middle! 2 outs, everyone is standing. and a slider and a fastball and now it's 2-0. Oooo, down the middle, strike 1. Strike 2 looking. SWING, c'mon. And the pitch - just a bit outside. Oh, and a foul ball. Slider... ball four and now Span is up. 1-0 count, and a base hit up the middle. A bad fastball by Rivera is sent right back where it came from. Ok, orlando cabrera up. Oh, and a steal of second. 1-0 count...2-0 count. And a STRIKE. Ground ball to second and the Yankees win. 7-2 final. Thanks for reading, check for more!

LOSE TO VIKES! BEAT GOPHERS! TWINS WIN! MINNESOTA FRENZY!!

Let's just say, I like Minnesota. I hate the Gophers and the Vikings (Favre 4 retirement) but I love 3 things - mall of America, picosa havanese, and the TWINS! Let's start with football. Badgers beat gophers. I thought it was over at Brown's fumble, but I was wrong. The Pack lost to the Vikes. The Packers Offensive line stinks. Rodgers can't keep taking 8 sacks a game! The 3rd best QB in the NFL would be even higher with a line that could hold a candle to the worst DL's. Anyways, Favre got credit for Peterson (Expected), he put on a show by throwing those "AMAZING!" one yard TD passes, which the announcers marveled over. Yikes. Anyways, TWINS! I love the White Sox, the Twins, and the Tigers, but in this match up, I wanted Twins. In an awesome game, the Twins won. Anyways, it's bed time, so I must go. Check back for more.

BOO BRETT FAVRE! + Football Preview

On Tuesday, August 18Th, a tragedy occured. Brett Favre joined the VIKINGS! For 2 years! This is the worst news in football history and the second in sports, only behind Bonds hitting 756 HR's. THE FAVRE TIMELINE -

1992 - Throws 5 passes for Falcons.

1997 - Wins super bowl.

1998 - Loses super bowl.

2006 - "Won't retire"

2007 - Plays well for packers

2008 - Retires, Unretires, retires, unretires. Joins Jets. Throws more INT's than TD's. Last pass illegal forward.

2009 - Pretty much same as 2008 but joins vikings and will throw no TD's and break the all time INT season record (hopefully).

What will he do next? I'm with my grandparents in Milwaukee, so they're letting me burn the newspaper. Now here is the NFL preview -

NFC NORTH - 1. Packers. Rodgers is amazing 2. Bears Cutler is good, but receivers stink. 3. Vikings. Favre will "fumble" over a terrible season and his arm will fall of. Than he will become friends with Kerry Wood. 4. Lions. GRRRRRRRReat. 2-14 this year!

NFC Champ - Eagles. They will deserve to win if Vick sends a pit bull to tear Favres head off.

AFC Champ - Patriots. They're just plain amazing.

SUPER BOWL CHAMP - Patriots.

That's it for this post. BOO BRETT FAVRE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
