Clayton Kershaw is on the mend from a lower back injury, but before the All-Star break, he was looking like the presumptive NL Cy Young winner. Unfortunately, he still hasn’t made it back from his injury, but it seems like he will be returning pretty soon. If I was going to go out on a prediction on what day he will return, it would probably be in this upcoming week. Clayton Kershaw finished off the first half of the season with a 1.79 ERA, 0.73 WHIP, and an impressive 9 walks in 121 innings…

I am reading Pretty Tough by Liz Tigelaar, and I finished the book. This book was about two sisters who did not have anything in coming except their last name. Krista, one of the most pretty and popular girl in school did not want to be seen in private with her nerd and total freak sister Charlie Brown. When they both end up in the same soccer team, they both learn that sisters is more than friendship and that by working together they can go far. I am also reading Once was Lost by Sara Zarr,…

nation. Frank had turned insufferably cocky now that all the girls were only coming to the shows to listen to him sing and scream his name. These girls were called bobby soxers because they wore a certain type of bobby socks. Frank’s time with Tommy Dorsey and his band would not last any longer than June 1, 1943 because Manie Sacks offered Frank a record deal with Columbia records.
