Today is Monday and I have not yet technically started my research paper. I have brainstormed some ideas and discussed many things with Mr. Saxon, but today I would like to finalize a thesis and begin writing. Once I get my thesis down my papers usually flow and I am able to get alot written. If I write my paper today and Tuesday, I will have a good bulk ready to review and edit with a classmate on Wednsday. After that session I should have my opening completed, and being that the final paper is not due until next Friday, on Thursday and Friday of this week I want to continue to read the two books that will help me with ideas for my paper. And hopefully on Friday someone brings in something to watch to help them in their research that distracts me.
I just want everyone to check out Drizzles Blog. The kid has some great ideas flowing, and is well ahead of the game. Must be putting alot of extra time into his work, right? We can all learn something from that young mans work ethic.

hey marinsac dueces here just decided to take a gander at ur blog. I also couldnt help but see the schedule u wrote for me this week i think its a great. I thought i could maybe write one up for u big guy. Just remember that this is all just to make u a better player not only on the field but mentally also.
Monday- Calisthenics
Dont be afraid to head out deep into the outfield stretch out the tree trunks and that cannon u got on ur shoudler. God only knows how long it can hold up. Give that wing a rest. Dont forget its game day so dont forget to oppo and just know i'll be takings notes on ur swring from the dugout.
Tuesday- Practice and Mechanics
Today u better bring ur gato cuz its going to be a hot one and a hard day of work. Its time to work on that throw from third. Ur dropping the shoulder and coming sidearm when u throw (most likely from fatigue) so we can work on that for 2 hours. Grounder after grounder is the only way.
Wednesday- Game Day and 60ft 6 inches
U know its game day so after the game i hope u got nothign to do cuz we have work to do. Its time to step on that rubber. Lets get past old tappan last year when u went 2/3 of an inning walked 4 and hit a guy. Dont forget the 5 runs u gave up too. Its time to get over those nightmares and start a new chapter in the Matt George Marini book. I know we have shed tears over that game and many nights of staying up and wondering wat if that two seemer didnt flutter right over the sweet spot or that duece piece didnt curve right into that kids back. But its time to get donw to mechanics and get over this fear of rearing back and u will get ur chance in states. Dont forget to ice tonight cuz its goign to be sore and we have more work to do. (i hope u having been icing all along)
Thursday- Practic/ Baserunning/ and Speed
Its practice again but its time to work on stealing and knowing wen u to go. U know wat im talking about parkridge thirdbase u got thrown out. Its time to work on ur speed. Its time to quit a few things that u have been doing like eating KFC before a game and spending time eating pizza on teh couch. This practice we head to the track and work on sprinting. And to get back to baserunnign i will get on the mound and u will practice watching the front foot. U got a lot of potential. U coudl be a primer base stealer in this league.
Friday- Game Day and out with the fellas
After a long week of hard work its time to have some fun. But not till after we long toss in the outfield after the game. I have been tracking ur velocity on ur throw to third recently and its decreasing drastically. Long toss is the perfect recipe for this problem. Then its off to the pary time to relax and remember baseball is fun and its not just a game its life.
Im proud of u matt if u can get through this week many have tried and few have succeeded. I see something special in u two eight. U got that look in ur eye that none of the other kids have. U want to out there and u want the ball and u want to make the plays. I respecet that two eight cuz i see a little of myself in u. Just remember practice doesnt make perfect, perfect practice makes perfect.

Hey "two eight" it's your boy deuces here. It's the day after the Mawhwah game and I did my assignment for Monday. The fist thing I had to do was take the day off and not throw. So let me tell you my arm is feeling great today. I'm ready to do some throwing today maybe some long toss with you big guy, but who knows? The next thing I had to was work on my grips. I spent hours in the outfield working on my stroke till I finally got my chance at the plate. I was the last to hit but I made the most of it. I got four swings but my last cut I hit a frozen rope to center. You could hang laundry on that thing. So I'm excited to get up again today because I feel great. I just to remember weight back, swing down and keep my eye on the ball. Then the last thing I had to was watch you two eight. Before the game you put one out and everyone started to think you were done for the game. They thought you would just swing for the fences, but I never doubted you. I knew you would shorten up that swing with two strikes and go oppo. I never once thought all that materialistic bullshit would get to you...and it didn't. I watched you hit two singles in your first two at bats, and it was something else. Your weight was back and you concentrated and went with the pitch. It was beautiful. Then it was bottom 7 with two on. We were looking for another clutch Marinsac double, but you do something spectacular. You put one out which was estimated to be 367 feet. It was a classic marinpiece shot, just a frozen rope. You got us back into it and thats why you're our leader. So after watching your technique and your love for the game I'm ready to move on from day 1. I got a lot of experience under my belt now and I'm ready to move on. Just one more thing to say before I leave kid is that I went up to Rich after the game. I stood in the presence of greatness and he only said one thing to me. He looked me dead in the eye and said "Homeruns break up rally's" and then he left. I learned something that day that no book or coach could ever teach. Standing there next to Rich Marini was the proudest day of my life. I stood next to an immortal and I lived to tell the tale.

Hey Matt it's Drew. I just got home from Chilli's and I had a great time with you and the guys. It was a lot of fun; some memories to remember for a lifetime. It was awesome; it made us closer as not only teammates but also friends. I just wanted to apologize for the game today to you and the guys. I feel terrible I just keep going over and over what happened. “What if” is what keeps popping up in my head. What if matt? What if I threw the duece. It's my go to pitch. What's wrong with me? I need some maturing to do and I take this as a learning experience. I want to say I'm sorry and I will learn from my mistakes. Next time I stand on that mound I will make sure we win.
Now that I got that off my chest I wanted to say thanks. Thank you Matt, you have taught me to be a better person. Life is just one big screw up and you have to learn from when you do these mistakes. If you don't do that then you will never grow as a person. Life is something that should be cherished and you must make mistakes.
-I hope you can accept my apology from the man who made a mistake, but will accept this moment and treasure for he shall learn to be a better man…Dueces
Hey Matt it's Drew. I was wondering why there was no blog for today. As we all know its monday and there should be a brand new blog waiting to be read by viewers such as myself. Your blog is looking kind of lonely. I think after the game today you should sit down and get some work done. This paper isn't going to write itself and there is only a few days left. If you want to check out a well thought out and done properly blog, check mine out. There better be a new blog waiting for me by the end of tomorrow or I would hate to have to see you in the octagon. I'll be watching you Matt.

Hey Matt it's that kid that wont stop bothering you till you do your blog. Another day went by and still nothing there. I'm just wondering when you will get it done. I will be keep checking. If you need some inspiration I'm here to help you get going. Good luck two eight.

Hey two eight it's Drew again. I was just checking up on your blog and I see nothing has changed. I guess your still working on your next blog huh? Well I will give you some space and check back tomorrow. Just wanted to let you know it was due last week.
Yo Matt what's up man? I don't know if you have been having some laptop problems, but there is still no blog from you. That does bother me, but what really grinds my gears is that you have not posted on my last few blogs I have done. I thought we had something special but i guess not. I feel we have grown apart theses past few days because I have been committed to blogging and posting and you sadly have not. I thought we had something that no one else had but I have learned the hard way that this world we call life is full of disappointments. I'll be waiting two eight and I will keep checking for that day that you respond.
