I am disgusted to watch the Rays play right now. After a Cinderella Story season, it is just terrible to watch. They are playing right now like they could care less, which is just awful. This team had one of the best records in the regular season, and proved themselves in the Playoffs by beating the Red Sox in the ALCS.
My disappointments
Evan Longoria and Carlos Pena, the 3-4 hitters do not have a hit yet in the series.
Sonnanstine - Bad start from a guy who shuts down most AL teams.
B.J. Upton - After 2 great series before he is playing down to what he is able to.
There are others, but right now it is just awful watching the Rays lose to this Phillies ball club. When Jamie Moyer and Joe Blanton shut you down on back to back nights you need to realize you suck.

Hannah Overton
In 2006, 4 year old Andrew Burd was brought to the hospital without a clue of what was wrong with him. Blood tests proved that he had salt poisoning. His level of hypernatremia was almost double of the highest ever recorded.
Everyone turned to Hannah Overton, 29 year old pregnant mother of four who was currently adopting Andrew. She and her husband were arrested immediately, but swore they were not guilty of this crime. She said she put a few dashes of creole seasoning in a sippy cup of water instead of giving him more food for lunch that day. He got sick, and Hannah thought it was just a flu, until it didn't get worse. She brought him to the hospital where he died shortly thereafter. It was then when she was arrested.
People in their community were outraged, and raised $700,000 for their cause. They said Hannah Overton was a good christian and would be the last person to do this.
-Larry Overtons comment-
"We were just waiting for someone to look at it and say 'This is just an accident,'" Larry Overton told "20/20." "Instead, we were arrested."
Hannah said recently Andrew had been eating any kind of food he could find. After dinners he would go through the garbage can and eat the dog and the cat food.
Hannah Overton was convicted of capital murder and sentenced to life in prison in September 2007.
"I just kind of broke down," Larry Overton said. "And I just stared out a window for ... I don't know ... probably about an hour."
Larry is now a single father with five children, including the newbord Hannah was pregnant with during the time of Andrews death.
My Story
I believe she wasn't guilty. The problem was that she most likely got angry at the boy and put a couple of teaspoons of this creole seasoning in his water. I am sure she didn't have the intentions of killing Andrew, considering she already had kids and had no criminal record. America is strict on their laws though, and this is a good lesson to learn.

Cuzco Peru
Cusco mob attacks municipality, radio station and mayor's home.
A mob of citizens have been protesting the construction of a hydroelectric plant in Peru. Specifically in Canchis, a province in the region of Cusco(Pronounced Cuzco). Two Policemen were attacked when confronting the angry mob of people. The protestors attacked sicuani radio station and organized a protest outside of the national bank. They destroyed office supplies and equipment in the radio station. Tourists and students have been stranded in this region of Peru and ask for help. The mob is starting to block major roads and bridges, not allowing anyone to get through.
The Story
I think these people are crazy. They will not get what they want and they are wasting their time. Anyone who is in that mob should get out immediately because they will be arrested if they continue.
The other thing is that a hydroelectric plant is actually good for the environment, and the only huge drawback is that if there is no water, then it will not function. But, water is a renewable resource and the plant is unlikely to run out of water, and if it does, you can always get extra from lakes, rivers, and other sources.
The mob is stupid and should stop now before during further damage to their country.

Jennifer Hudson
This is certainly not a "Good Friday"
Jennifer Hudson's mother and brother were killed today in Chicago. Darnell and Jason Hudson were found dead at 3:00 in the chicago home investigators said. Police say it is "domestic" which also means it was not a robbery. Jennifer Hudson was an American Idol contestant, and was the star of the movie Dream Girls. She is also an oscar winner.
The Story
Police have not found a specific motive yet. This story was very sad news for me to hear. Nothing is worse than when two innocent people are killed. I feel bad for Jennifer Hudson, and this shows that celebrities have problems just as much as everyone else. I feel bad for Jennifer, who had life in her hands up until this point. I wish the best to Jennifer and the rest of her family, as she will be deeply missed.

Lute Olson
Lute Olson
An article I wrote for www.DailySportsUpdate.Net
Longtime Arizona men's basketball coach Lute Olson is reportedly stepping down. He had 25 years at Arizona, and missed the entire 2007-2008 season during a divorce. Lute Olson is now 74. In his 25 years he has a 780-280 career record at Arizona, Iowa, and Long Beach State. His record with the Wildcats was 589-187. This includes a national championship in 1997, four Final Four appearances, 11 Pac-10 titles, and 20 consecutive 20-win seasons. Olson has also won seven Pac-10 Coach of the Year awards.
Olson announced last year he would be returning to Arizona for another year, so his successor Kevin O'Neill left the program and took a job as assistant coach for the NBA's Memphis Grizzlies. Olson made it obvious he wanted to be there another year, but just couldn't do it. He took a leave of absence last year in November and O'Neill took over from that point. Arizona finished seventh in the Pac-10 last year, the worst finish they've had since the 1982-1983 season - the year before Olson was head coach there. Arizona still ran their streak of NCAA appearances to 24, despite missing head coach Lute Olson.
The most likely cause of Lute Olson stepping down is his age and health. When taking a leave of absence for a divorce last year, he also said it was for health reasons too. He is now 74 years of age, and has 25 years of basketball under his belt. While he did enjoy a good run at Arizona, his age is starting to catch up with him.
Vitale says associate coach Mike Dunlap will fill in for Lute Olson as interim coach. Arizona has denied this report. The best bet now is to wait and see.
I give my best wishes to Lute Olson, his family, and his friends. He had a great run as a college basketball coach, and Arizona will miss him dearly this season. The Wildcats will play their first opener on November 17 against Florida Atlantic. This will be their first opener without Lute Olson in the program in two decades, and I wish Arizona and Lute Olson the best.

Oprah Sued
Oprah sued over man's arrest on extortion charge
A Louisiana man has filed a lawsuit against Oprah Winfrey, claiming she and an attorney made false statements that led the FBI to arrest him on charges that he tried to extort the talk-show host.
Keifer Bonvillain who had charges dismissed, looks to get $180 million from Oprah.
He was arrested in December of 2006. He had a phone conversation with an employee of Oprah's production company and told a company associate he wanted to publish a book based on the recordings. Bonvillain was arrested when a company associate agreed to pay him 1.5 million dollars. Bonvillian claims he did everything he could to avoid illegal activity.
Chip Babcock, who is a lawyer for Harpo productions said "And we know that this whole episode started when the plaintiff wiretapped a Harpo employee in California," he said. "We advised (Bonvillain) that we believe that wiretapping was illegal, and this case will give us an opportunity to determine whether we were right about that."
My Opinion
Who would sue Oprah? She is one of the most powerful women in the world and this guy thinks he is going to win? Well most likley she will lost about 0.00000000....1 of her earnings in court dates, but she really did nothing wrong and this guy is looking to win a case he can't. This guy claims he did everything he could to avoid illegal activity, yet he was talking to someone from Oprah's production company about getting money. He will most likely lose and nothing will come of this.
Fun Fact
I once heard a story about a man who tried to sue someone for "Stealing his wave."

Mortgage Attorney
Mortgage Attorney Shot to Death
Police in Suffolk County say a man found lying in a Commack restaurant parking lot Monday afternoon had been shot in the head.
The victim was identified as 44-year-old mortgage attorney James J. Di Martino, of Nesconset.
The story
So a woman was in a parking lot and saw a man laying in a pool of his own blood. Now something like this is just awful. It is terrible the things people do to others just because they don't get their way. The lady immediately called 911, and the police arrived shortly thereafter. The woman actually made a wrong turn into the parking lot and by the time the police arrived there was no trace of evidence. So, this man killed an attorney who either screwed him over, or he was just really pissed off. Killing is not the way to go, if you want to kill, go hunting and do it legally, don't kill people who do not deserve it. The only people that deserved to be killed are the ones on Death Row.
