Writing about Sports

CC S.jpgI never thought that someday I'd be writing an article about sports. Never ever. But who knows of what lies ahead?

Two days ago, I joined Bleacher Report. It's a website where sports fans gather and post articles about whatever they have in mind on a particular game, athlete or sport event. I've been reading entries from this website and just yesterday, I posted my first article.

Writing is not easy, especially for serious writers. It is important that you're telling the truth. I only have two written articles, yet, because I'm just beginning to follow sports, especially Baseball. I don't know much so I have to be careful.

Today (tonight in New York) started the second series of the Yankees vs. Mets game. I'm so glad to have watched it live on ESPN, not just because I am a fan of the Yankees. The game was amazing, for the Yankees' part. It felt like the first time I saw them playing. Too bad it wasn't the same for the Mets. They committed three errors in one inning. But, Castillo was able to do well as the second baseman. He was able to redeem himself for what happened during the first subway series.

Jeter Day

It was nice to watch an MLB game live, again. Felt like a long time ago since I did so. I even made a comment/article about it. I was compelled to do so because I want to hone my writing skills. Hopefully, it includes writing an article about sports. Here's the link: Yankees vs. Braves; Derek vs. Derek

The game was such a long one, but it the end, the New York Yankees won against the Atlanta Braves, 11-7. Tomorrow will be another game, against the NY Mets.

Btw, HAPPY BIRTHDAY, CAPTAIN JETER!
