So first month through the baseball season, and the giants are first in they’re division. I know it’s only the first month, but still, the Giants pitchers are red hott! You got Tim Lincecum leading the pitching rotation, and Matt Cain second, and Barry Zito in the three hole. He mentioned at the start of the year, that he didn’t like being number three in the rotation. So I think that he’s trying to work his way back to the two spot.
He’s starts his first month with six starts, and his record is 5-0. And tim Lincecum, is at 4-0. They are doing great! And Zito has an ERA below 2.00. I must say, he is doing great.

So as I hoped, Tim Lincecum won the cy young award for the second consecutive year. How bout that. I’m pretty sure those cardinals fans are pretty upset. They had two pitchers along with Lincecum, in for the cy young. But once again, Timmy got it.
He’s had an amazing career so far. He’s only been playing two years, and he’s braught in a couple cy young awards. Not only that, but he recorded more than 250 strikeouts in both years. That’s really something.
I was worried about him during the middle of the season though. Him with his back pain, I was worried he would be out for the season, and not be able to compete for the cy young again. But he did! I was freakin happy when I heard the news!
Anyway, baseball 2010. This is going to be a good year. I can feel it. There have been many surprising signs with different teams. For example, we got Curtis Granderson who signed with the yanks, Aubrey Huff, and Mark Derosa who signed with the giants, Jason Bay with the mets, Cliff Lee with the mariners, and just recently, Johnny Damon signed with the tigers.
Many great, and surprising signs, but that will just make this year, a great year for baseball. Every year is a great year of baseball, now that I think about it.
Now I wanna talk about the NL west for a sec. There are three teams that have the potential to make the playoffs this year. The rockies, are always surprising us. It’s always late in the season too! I think that they are gonna have a solid year. On the mound they have Jeff Francis, and Ubaldo Jimenez. Both very young, and talented pitchers.
The second is the dodgers. The past couple of years, they have made it to the playoffs. They just need to work with the pitching staff, and they will be a great team. Their hitting isn’t the best you’ll find, but it’s still pretty decent. They have Manny who stays out in left, Casey Blake at third, Russel Martin behind the plate, and Furcal at short. Now if the dodgers were smart, they would trade Manny to a team in the american league. Manny shouldn’t be out on the field. He needs to be in the american league as a DH. I have a feeling that this year, Manny will get an injury, that will prevent him to play for a steady ammount of time. I don’t know if any of you guys notice, but I’m a giants fan, and now I have to go boil my tongue for speaking highly of the dodgers. bleh.
Now the team that really leaps out at me, is the Giants. Now I’m not just saying that cause they are my team, but I’m saying it cause they have made such magnificent progress. Last year they were just a few games back in the wild card, of playing in the playoffs. I was stoked! But then they blew it. They were great, but their offense wasn’t doing their job. Now that we are in spring training, we have seen such progress with the team. And they have done a great job with signings this past off season. They signed the power hitting 1st baseman, Aubrey Huff, and the flexible postistion player, Mark Derosa.
With these two additions to the club, the giants will make a big difference. They got a great infield, and a decent outfield. We got Bengie behind the plate, Huff at first, Freddy Sanchez at second, Edgar Renteria possibly sticking around to play at short, (and if not, they have Uribe) Panda at third, Derosa in left, Rowand in center, and Schierholtz in right. And their pitching staff is still incredible. They have the cy young man, Tim Lincecum. Then Matt Cain, and Jonathan Sanchez.
Now my personal oppinion, is to get Brian Wilson out of there. He has not been doing his job. He blew too many games in 09. They had to call on Romo sometimes just cause Wilson couldn’t get the job done! He blew many games. If he didn’t, the giants might have made a playoff appearance.

The one thing that I’ve noticed about this season, is that it was a dissapointment. Giants blew it at the last minute, dodgers made it to the playoffs and swept the cards in the first round of the playoffs, and that I have to wait another whole year for the season to start.
But there are some things that I’m looking forward to. And thats, who made the cy young award. I’m curious to see if its giants Tim Lincecum, or Cardinals Adam Wainright. It would really be something if Tim won for the second year in a row. He lead baseball in strikeouts for the second year in a row. I think he seserves some kind of an award. If not, big deal. There’s always next year.
Thats what Giants fans all around have been saying for the past five years. People kept thinking that they might make the playoffs again after the playoffs in 02. But they haven’t made the playoffs since.
The only problem that the Giants had this year, was there offense. They’re offense was the worst in baseball without question. But they’re pitching on the other hand was great. They had too many one run ball games, or two run ball games.
They had a new bat join the team though, and it was someone unexpected. People already knew he could field, but no one knew he could hit! Pablo Sandavol. The Giants third baseman. Well, he can play all over the field really. He can play third, catcher, and first base. He played first base around the end of the season cause he was injured some how.
He had more than twenty home runs this year. I remember wating a game on tv with the brewers and giants. Pablo hit two home runs in the game alone.
Everyone said that the brewers pitching stunk. And that anyone can hit two home runs in a game against that team. If that’s true, why didn’t anyone do it often?
Over the year pablo became well known by many people. And he developed a nickname for himself. Panda.
I still haven’t discovered why people call him that. Maybe they just call him that cause he looks like a panda.
Maybe they call him that cause his uncle’s a panda. I have no clue. But I know one thing for sure. He’s something big for the giants. And they need to keep him.
Well the playoffs are coming to a close. Now there are only four teams left in the playoffs. In the NL, its the phillies, and the dodgers. In the AL its the yankees, and the angels. Now on the NL, I’m going for the phillies. Mainly because I hate the dodgers. In the AL I’m going for the angels. Mainly because I hate the yankees. I hate the angels too. But not as much as the yankees.
You moght be wondering why I hate the angels. Well because of the 2002 world series. The angels brought out the rally monkey. Which is a good luck charm for the angels. When its late in a game, they bring it out. And the crowd goes nuts.

My first pick, was the 2001 world series with the D-backs, and the yankees. Many call it the best world series of all time. I thought it was pretty entertaining. Pretty intense too. No doubt about it though, it was like something out of a movie. Another great thing about it, was how the series went into november.
Baseball only goes to mid, or late october. In the series, the named Yankees shortstop, Derek Jeter Mr. November.
The sries started out with the D-backs winning two straight games. Then the yankees came back and won three in a row. Then The D-backs tied it in the next game, and went on to game seven of the world series.
Pitching for the yankees was the Rocket. ( Roger Clemens )
And pitching for the D-backs was Curt Schilling. Both players had an amazing season.
The final score of the game, was 3-2 D-Backs.
Yankees And D-Backs 2001 World Series
My second pick was a world series with my all time favorite team. The Giants. They made the playoffs as a wild card team, and ended up facing the angels.
They didn’t win the world series, but it was entertaining.
Giants and Angels World Series 2002
My third choice was the ALDS game in 1999 with the red sox and indians. In game five of this series, it was a tie game. Pedro Martinez was supposed to start, but didn’t cause of his back. So both teams were hitting at will. The Red sox manager had enough. He put Pedro in the bullpen. Later they brought Pedro into the game. Working six scorless, and hitless innings. Final score, 12-8 Red Sox
Sorry to say, I couldn’t manage to find a video clip of this game.
My fourth choice was, the 2006 world series with the cards, and the tigers. It was a great world series cause, both teams hadn’t made it to the world series in a while. And if either team won, it would have been a celabration. The year before, the tigers lost more than a hundred games ina season! So it was great for that team. It was great for the cards too. Cause I like the cards. I wanted them to win. And sure enough, they did.
Cardinals And Tigers 2006 World Series
My fifth and final decision was, the 2004 world series with the red sox and cardinals. It was amazing to see the red sox come to the world series, and win it. And to see them break the curse. It was intense.
Sadly, I couldn’t find a video for this one either. I tried my best. So I’ll leave you with this…..
Baseball Surprise

I love this time of year. Why, you ask? Well, I don’t know if you’ve noticed, but I’m kinda a big fan of baseball, and my favorite team, the Giants.
The Giants and Rockies, are the two teams in the wild card fighting it out. Before the series this weekend, the rockies were up three games, in the wild card race.
That has all changed. I am proud to announce, that the Giants swept the Rockies, in this three game series. A huge series. And now, the record in the wild card is tied. Giants 75-59 Rockies 75-59
The next team in line, are the Braves. But you know what? They are about six games back. So, this wild card race is getting intense guys.
With only 31 games left to play, the Giants have to step it up. They have great pitching, great speed. Now the only thing they need, is offense. This team would be probably the best team in baseball, if they had offense.
But, they have a guy, who I think is going to be huge for them. You might know him. Not as a person but as a player. Pablo Sandavol. 21 dingers on the year so far. He’s been they’re whole offense.
Not only him, but Bengie Molina.
The other night, I was watching the game, with the Giants, and D-backs. The Giants were down 3 to 1 in the bottom of the eighth. Runners on first, and second. And who comes out to pinch hit? Bengie Molina. Who is slowly recovering from an injury. And he came through for the giants, BIG TIME! A three run home run out to left field. I was kinda scared when he hit it. Mainly because, the left fielder almost robbed him of the home run. But the only thing that matters, is that they won that game.
And then this huge series comes up with the rockies, and Pablo hits two home runs in the series. What got into them? I have no idea. But whatever did, I’m glad it got to em. They’re offense has been razor sharp this series. The three game series, they scored, 17 runs total. Thats pretty big for the giants. And against the rockies too. Thats just great!
Amd hats off to they’re ace, Tim Lincecum. He has been coming up big when it matters. He is leading BASEBALL, in strikeouts again! Second year in a row! The thing I want to accomplish before Tim retires, is to see him play, and maybe meet him. That would be the greatest.
LETS GO GIANTS!!!

This whole time my grandparents and other family have been gone, there have always been one of my sisters here with me at they’re house. AT LEAST! So, last night it was just me and my dad. The one thing I’ve noticed, is that my dad isn’t so pushy when it comes to bed time. Now my mom on the other hand is. I didn’t get to bed till two last night. Which probably wasn’t the best idea in the whole world. Cause I have to wake up every morning at, at least seven. I don’t really have a preoblem with it, cause the dogs are like my alarm clocks. They will wake you up if they want to go outside. This morning I was dead I think. I was laying on the couch attempting to sleep, and one of there many dogs, Rachel, pretty much punched me in the face.
So now I’m awake for all eternity.
I honestly don’t mind if I’m up early or not. I have things to do anyways. It might not be with friends everyday. But on days where I have nothing to do, there will be friends around. Sometimes I can just say, that friends suck. There are friends that I want to kill, and then there are some that I don’t ever mind. I have a lot of good friends, and I have a lot of look like good friends.
Last night I was up playing playstation, and watching tv. And well there was a dog who wouldn’t shut up. So I had to play with her. Probably the most energetic dog I’ve seen. Except for my dog Sam. Sam acts like a crack dog most of the time. And sometimes he is just tired, and not in a good mood whatsoever.
But this dog I was up with last night, is always in a good mood. She loves to play. I think that I have played with her the most while I have been over here. She’s a challenge. But I still win every time.
Another thing that I’ve noticed, is that all the dogs respect me. And I know exactly why! For the first few days while I’ve been here, they would do nothing but bark at me, along with the other sisters of mine. So after I played with them, fed them, and gave them a snack before bed every night, they would want to be around me. So whenever I tell them to come downstairs, or go outside, or just to shut up, they listen right away. Its strange really. I have never had this kind of power before. mwahaha!
And another thing! Why do people need dorrbells, when they have really annoying dogs? I mean, if you have a doorbell, I think thats good enough. After the doorbell is finished, doorbelling, the dogs just bark. Its like they’re saying, ” someones here!”. I KNOW, I KNOW ALREADY!!!
Its really the most useless thing. My dog never barks when someone is at the door. never. He saves his barks for when he goes outside.
And the dogs here might just be the stupidest dogs, I have evr seen. Well a couple of em are. Like Mandy. My grandparents little princess. She was trying to chase her tail. And her body is son long, her head barely makes it past her stomach. I just recorded it on my phone a couple days ago. I was laughing pretty hard. And as for the other dogs, there is only one dog that acts like a normal boring dog. And that would be Jessie. She never wants to play, she is never down stairs when the other dogs are either. But she still listens to me when I tell her to do something though.
I hate cats. Did you know that? Not only am I allergic to them, but I just flat out hate them. I think that cats are the most disgusting, animals on the planet. The only thing cats are good for, is catching mice, and for those who aren’t allergic, just having them around. Even if I wasn’t allergic to them, I don’t even think I would want one.

Last night the Giants played the New York Mets. They won 10-1! Just destroyed them! Picking up the win was a new pitcher pulled up from triple a, Joe Martienez. He only aloud one run as you can see. But only got one strikeout. Not the best strikout pitcher.
But a major strikeout pitcher is the one and only Tim Lincecum. He’s pitching tonight against the reds. Tim Lincecum is having an amazing year! With 205 strikeouts, and a 2.26 ERA. Both of which he is leading MAJORS in. His career high with strikeouts in a single game is 15. HIis ERA last year, was 2.65.
And you have to remember, Tim Lincecum is only 23 years old. If he continues at this rate, he can beat the record of most strikeouts in a career. The records defender is Nolan Ryan. A former texas Ranger. A good friend of mine once told me that he would watch Nolan Ryan do warm ups before a game. Cause he lived in texas once before. And he saw him start out throwing real close with the catcher, then before he knew it they were throwing from one foul pole to the other. Nolan Ryan threw so hard! He said he didn’t aim for the catchers mitt, he aimed 30 feet behind the catchers mitt.
Back with the Giants. The Giants record is 64-54
They are by far doing better than last year. Last year they’re winning percentage wasn’t even 500. This year they are already doing better. Mainly cause of they’re pitching staff. They are said to have the best pitching staff in all of baseball. Which I highly agree with. They have they’re ace, Tim Lincecum, Matt cain, The injured Randy Johnson, the one who threw the no hitter on july tenth, Jonathen Sanchez, and Barry Zito.
As far as the’re bullpen goes, they’re only veteran pitchers are, Bob Howry, and Jeremy Affeldt.
Who are both very good.
The only problem with the giants team is they’re offense. It isn’t a huge problem, its just there offense can use improvement. They have Sandavol, Bengie Molina, and a new addition to the giants lineup, the 2nd base power hitting, Freddy Sanchez. Freddy Sanchez was traded to the giants from the Pirates.
Giants are slowly catching up with the Dodgers. The dodgers have lost 6, of they’re last 8! Which is a good thing for a Giants fan like myself.

I totally forgot about my website! I just cracked my password to get in and started writing. The last time I wrote on this was christmas of 07. Man I have grown so much since then. Its really amazing how much has happened since then. My sister has left for her mission in Florida. Tampa, I got my permit, my other older sister got her license last year, and a whole bunch of other stuff!
I don’t know how she came to it, but Aubree dicided to prepare to head out for a mission. I really look up to her. She is such a good example to all of us Westover kids. She writes often. I’m kinda mad at myself cause, I don’t write her as much as I should. But when I do, its a good five to ten page letter. My sister hasn’t changed a bit. She is still the same old goofy Aubree. She will write all funny, and goofy. Then she will tell me a story about someone that she’s teached. They are all amazing stories. She makes me want to go on a mission. But I just don’t think I’m ready. I have my whole career ahead of me, and I just don’t want to. But thats another convorsation for another day. But one thing is certain. And that is, that my sister wants me to go on a mission. Every letter she sends, she tells me that she wants me to go. She said I will do great, make friends, and have great stories to tell my kids. And of course I don’t go out there for that she says. I go out there for the lord.
Abby is 17. Abby on the other hand has been a great sister to me. A great influence. She knows everything I go through. If I ever need some advice, or if I have problems wth friends, she is always there. I’m glad I got stuck with her. She has very great taste in music. I wouldn’t have learned about muse if it wasn’t for her. Or any other band at that! And she’s an interesting person. In a good way! She has the greatest sense of humor too. She went to school for a couple years. But she wanted to be pulled out cause, and I quote, ” school sucks”.
I keep complaining to my parents on how much I want to go to school. ANd she says, “NO!”. And I ask her, ” I don’t?”. And she just says how much it messed her up and stuff like that.
I’m 15. I’m doing great I think. I just turned 15 and got my permit. Don’t get to drive a bunch. But when I do its the funnest thing ever. I feel totally confortable on the road. I have been told by my parents how good of a driver I am. I have to admit, I am a pretty good driver for a 15 year old. Just one more year and I’ll be dating. I’m kinda big in baseball too. I play baseball, I know just about everything, and I love to play MLB 09 the show on my PS3. I also love movies like, Transformers, and Batman. I love action movies. There is no other good kind of movies. Like the notebook, or some other lame chick flick, can just burn in a raging fire for all I care. And I work at an elementry school down the street from where I live. It sucks.
Allie is 13. Allie, is doing so good. She wants to go on a mission just like Aubree. Good for her I say. She loves Volleyball. A little too much, along with Michael Buble. PSH. I honestly hate Michael. A lot.
She is way good at volleyball too. She plays church volleyball, and plays at some other place for volleyball.
Maggie is 11. Maggie, is just like Aubree, and Abby. She is like Aubree as far as her looks, and her feelings of the church go. And she’s like Abby as far as music goes. She’s only 11, and she knows more about music than I do. She’s very smart. And she is like her mother. Very good with kids, and keeping her area clean.
Madelyn is 9. Madelyn, is mostly like her mother. She worries A LOT! But other than that she is just a little spark plug. Just has so much energy. So we have to keep her away from the mountain dew. And other sugar substances. And she just loves everyone!
And finally Emma. Emma is 7. Emma is like Abby! She loves to be funny. Likes to kick people, and loves to love people. She just loves pets. She is so good with them too. Emma is a little sweetheart. I love her. She’s just so cuddly.
My parents are great. I don’t think I should tell you they’re age. Cause if I do I might get in trouble. And not be able to drive. My mom is great. She loves to share the gospel, and loves to simply love people. I don’t know how she does it. She has seven kids. Three are teenagers, and ones an adult who is out in the mission field. And she has a couple younger daughters, who are still pretty old. Its hard enough dealing with all us teens in the house. I can just tell by the look on her face. A lot of people might not know this, but my mom has a great sense of humor. She’s so fun to be around. And I have a lot of fun teasin her. She’s cool too. She is just like a teenager, just with more authority. And my dad is great! He loves to have fun. He’s just like a little kid. Loves to play with us kids. I love spending time with my dad. Not only cause we’re the only men in the house, but because he’s my dad. There is a special bond with a son and father. And I’m just lucky to be the only son, and have him all to myself. I can talk to him about baseball. And he’ll know what I’m talking about. Most of the other people I know, don’t know if I’m talkin about the player, or the name of the field they play in. If it weren’t for my dad, I wouldn’t be in baseball. I learned everything I know about baseball from him. And I’m still learning. He’s always there for me when I need him. Even though he leaves out of town often, I can just call or text him. He is and always will be my best friend.
