Fransisco Rodriguez has just set a three year contract 37 million dollars with the New York Mets after setting a season record of 62 saves.Even though he got that contract he was looking for 47 million dollars and 4 years so he fell way short of the money he wanted.Not only did he get 62 saves he was criticized at the beginning of the year that his velocity was going down he showed everybody when he was throwing 93-94 MPH and was beautifully capitalized by a fantastic changeup that struck many batters out.He was definitely one of the hottest free agents in the market this year.

Ohio has just approved to spend 6.4 million $ on portable breath-alcohol devices. on Monday they agreed to buy 700 machines that by the end of 2009 they should be out to all 50 states.Now it is out to 10 states and is very reliable.

Paul Daugherty said during his press conference that he had a cure to end the Bengals losing streak.His cure was to always go for it on fourth down.He said that since the Bengals are 1-8 they have nothing to lose so why not try to give a burst to ther last place offense.The same offense that was a bomb in there hand 2 years ago but now those bombs are exploding and that shows on the field when the average only 14 points a game.

Democrat Barack Obama won the election and was also became the first African American president ever. Obama carried at least 7 states that Republican president George Bush had carried in 2004.Though John McCain gave Obama a run for his money he still won by over 7,000,000 votes.Unfortunately,This will probably end the aging John McCain's White House dreams.

Capital Punishment has been a part of Ohio’s justice system since early in the state’s history. From 1803, when Ohio became a state, until 1885, executions were carried out by public hanging in the county where the crime was committed. The first person to be executed at the Ohio Penitentiary was Valentine Wagner, age 56. Wagner, from Morrow County, was hanged for the murder of Daniel Shehan from Mt. Gilead. Twenty-eight convicted murderers were hanged at the penitentiary. In 1897, the electric chair, considered to be a more technologically advanced and humane form of execution, replaced the gallows. The first prisoner to be executed by electrocution was William Haas, a 17-year-old boy from Hamilton County, for the murder of Mrs. William Brady. The last person to be executed by electrocution in Ohio was Donald Reinbolt, a 29-year-old inmate from Franklin County, for the murder of Edgar L. Weaver, a Columbus grocer. He was executed on March 15, 1963. From 1897 to 1963 there were 315 persons put to death in the electric chair including three women. In 1974, the Ohio General Assembly revised Ohio’s Death Penalty law, but the U.S. Supreme Court rejected the new law in 1978. As a result, 120 condemned prisoners, including four women, had their sentences commuted to life in prison.

Most people think that Vince shouldn't be the starting QB because Kerry Collins got them to 7-0.While others say that Vince should be the starter if he can handle the pressure.The Tennesee Titans are the last undefeated team in the NFL.

Luanne is derange

Or in other words she’s strange

She picks too many daisies

It makes me kind of crazy

Sometimes I get mad

But that just makes her really sad

But above it all

I love her more than doves

Jones series.I think that she can be one of the funniest writers of all time.

What I thought about the assembly was that it was very cool,upbeat,and definitely not a waste of time. I also learned something too that no matter where you come from or how you look,you are not a bad person just for that.I thought it was fun especially,when the teachers had to dance.

This is Reid for my weekly blog.This a campaign article.I am campaigning against Ape,King Kong, Gorilla,orangutan,chimpanzee,and Curious George. This pole is for your favorite monkey.You should pick me because I can do more things than any of them can(well except maybe curious George but still).For one thing I can talk just to name 1.So vote now and vote for me.

What I did during summer is go to the pool a lot and play sports.The sports I play during Summer is baseball and soccer but during Summer we only had soccer practices but no games.During baseball though I had an above 500 batting average,6 for 7 in steal attempts and only had 3 errors all season playing at shortstop but mainly second base.

My biography is about Michael Jordan.The greatest basketball player of all time. He was born on February 17 in South Carolina.

Michael Jordan at first was a horrible basketball player he didn't even make his high school basketball team his first year.After traning for a whole year and growing from 5'11 to 6'3 he made the teams last cut.He eventually got drafted by the University of South Carolina.He had lead them to the NCAA championships by making the game winning shot.When he got done with college he was drafted by the Chicago Bulls where he won the rookie of the year award and looking to win the M.V.P award his second year he had to sit out most of the season because in the third game of the season he broke his foot.In the playoffs he came back and was unstoppable,scoring 50 consecutive points in 3 games at one point and even reached 63 points in a game one time.Even though Jordan was as strong as he was they still lost to the Celtics for the championships.After the season was over he entered a slam dunk contest and won that.Rest of his career is to great for words.His career totals were 24,489 points,4,377 assist,4,879 rebounds,and averaged 32 points a game.He also was a 4 time M.V.P,4 time world champion,a 10 time all star,and apart of the best team ever with a record of 72-10.He also was a baseball player and golf player.As a matter of fact he retired from basketball to play Major Leauge Baseball.

I think that M.J. is the greatest basketball player ever and no one will ever please a crowd anything like him.

The first day of school was O.K.What happened was that I found out that we had 2 new students,Chris and Sarah.After a pretty good lunch we had recess and played our usual dodge ball.After recess was over we worked the rest of school and then I got on the bus to go home,In my happy place,a work free zone.
