ελπίδα, πίστη, αγάπη

After 5 days of waiting, the Philadelphia Phillies now know which team will they face. The New York Yankees just defeated the LA Angels in the American League Series of Game 6, 5-3 on board. It was a game that lasted for 3 hours and 40 minutes with 50,173 people in full anticipation.

The Phillies and Yankees have faced each other during the regular season, and the Phillies have won the series, 2-1, against the Yankees. Game 2 of that series was a walk-off win as Melky Cabrera hit a single, scoring Robinson Cano. Alex Rodriguez provided the tying run, a two-run homer to the right field.

Game 1 of the World Series will be started in the Yankee Stadium and starting pitchers will be CC Sabathia and Cliff Lee. Both pitchers are considered aces in their ball clubs. But who will prevail?

Cliff Lee has a 14-13 record, 245 hits, 3 walks, 10 strikeouts, and a 3.22 ERA. CC Sabathia, on the other hand, has an amazing 19-8 record. He has allowed 197 hits and 67 walks while striking out 197. If Mo is capable of calming the Yankees organization, and fans alike, during the late innings, CC has a calming effect on me when he's starting for the Bombers.

Both NL and AL teams know how big the World Series will be. The Philadelphia Phillies will do everything to defend their title while the New York Yankees will be looking forward for a 27th World Series title.

There are a lot of World Series rookies from the Yankees, but the Old Guard remains intact. The last Old Guard appearance in the World Series, excluding Andy Pettitte who was in the Astros, was on 2004. This would be a nice reunion, especially that Pettitte is back to the Yankees. With new members in their club, the World Series will be more exciting.

The Phillies and Yankees are strong teams in their respective leagues, but only one team will claim the 2009 World Series title. I am a fan of both teams, but I am rooting for my top favourite team, the New York Yankees.

The National and American League Series are over.  But, "It ain't over till it's over." It must be a wonderful night for Yogi Berra who watched the game. I'd love to hear what he's got to say about Game 6.

I've been writing a lot about Baseball lately. I'd like to do it again, but my brain and mind are too tired. Thank God one can't sue oneself. I'll write about something else here. I'll write about what I reckon. Seems like I still have the urge to write. Haha!

It all started with a novel, Every Move She Makes, by Robin Burcell. I've always been fond of puzzles and crimes for me are like puzzles. I was still in college, freshmen or sophomore days, when I read that novel so I was trying to relate forensics with Nursing. I was hoping I'd have a taste of forensics, with my (future) job description.

I've always thought that I was just making up a dream. Imagine, a forensic nurse. But when I was in junior or senior college, I just found out that there is indeed such thing as a forensic nurse. God, I want to pursue that!

As I've just passed the Nursing Licensure Exam and have my professional ID, I am wondering how to start pursuing my dream. I have a lot of things to reckon, but as for now I stick with things that might help me in the future.

I want to be a Forensic Nurse. O God, please allow me to become one. As part of my preparation, I've been reading the RA 9173 (Nursing Act of the Philippines of 2002) and some RAs that might be of concern with patients' rights and any law that has to do with people. I even bothered to read the October 2009 Bar Exam! Well, that was just for fun. And I did have fun. Too bad, I could not give the rationale to those I've answered False.
