The Closer

But the ninth inning is a whole different animal, and these three guys are some of the best in the bigs. We saw Dellin Betances struggle to hold his own as a closer, and although he may have been able to make the adjustment, the Chapman signing was absolutely necessary. To get him, he were going to have to be paid in full. In the end, the Yankees paid to get the man they wanted, and the Dodgers paid to get their closer to return to LA. With Chapman and Jansen being two of the best in the business, their contract values should come as a surprise to no one, as they earned the right to ask for five years, and almost twice as much as the previous record for any relief pitcher. Obviously, Chapman is the most intimidating pitcher in baseball. With a fastball that routinely touches triple digits and a World Series ring to his name, Chapman was going to get paid this offseason. And if it was not the Yankees who paid him, some other team such as the Dodgers or Marlins, would have paid Chapman. But the Yankees made a point to resign…

not suffer at all though. They say that if you hit an animal wouldn’t it try to avoid pain, so therefore they do not suffer. But then a question is then brought up. How could an animal not be aware of their suffering if they are screaming in pain? Well if you think about it, if an animal is getting attacked by a lion they are not aware of it. So does this still mean that these species do not suffer? I will let you think about that because I do believe that they suffer but others do not. So my…

on me. “You’re really in a hurry.” I glanced up from my assignment book to see my Algebra teacher, Mrs. Read, smiling at me. “I don’t have anywhere better to be.” I replied. I gathered my stuff up and walked toward the door. “See you tomorrow.” “Becky, if you need to talk about anything, I’m always here.” “Thanks, Mrs. Read” I mumbled back while skedaddling into the hall. I hate when people take think I need help, just because I don’t look happy. My basic attire was a worn out t-shirt and some…

Often time’s things happen in life that we do not expect. Many turning points in life happen and we have to, somehow, learn to deal with this new “problem.” Sometimes, the issue is so life changing, we tend to lose our minds and become lost on this path of greatness. When life has its difficulties, we often frown upon the things that have blessed us in the past. We forget about all the things that have leaded us to that point of our life, that when that moment comes, we become selfish. Some…

breath. Normally she was a very rational person, but as they say: desperate times call for desperate measures. Driving all consequences to the back of her mind, Elise began to claw at the wood, widening the puncture in the wall of the rail-train. Pure desperation coursed through her, and after many splinters, she had widened the perforation to the size of her shriveling body. Worried shouts rattled the entire compartment, causing Elsie to stumble over her stickly legs. She didn’t mind; she could…

Life can change drastically in a single moment, one that is most often outside of our control; we can however, control our response. In May of 2016, my husband of nearly eight years chose to walk out on me; with a comment of “I’m done, I can’t do this anymore,” he walked out our door and with that my life will never be the same. I cannot control my husband’s choices or actions nor do I really want to, instead I have my own choices to make and those I can control. I have spent the past several…
