Survivor: Blood vs Water Episode 8 Notes

Redemption Island The winner of the challenge goes back into the game while the losers are eliminated. It is a test of will as the duelists need to hold on to a pole the longest. John is at a significant disadvantage. Strong men usually perform poorly in this challenge while wiry men do well. Accordingly, he is the first one eliminated. I also never thought Laura B. had a chance either as she is not a good Survivor player. As Laura M....

Retroactive Review: Thor

After watching the movie again, I have a higher appreciation for the movie. There are a lot of things I...

Baseball 2013 Final Report Card (National League)

NL East 1. Atlanta Braves (96-66) I love the Braves pitching. Their starters are all young, power pitchers that have shown signs they can be aces. Julio Teheran and Mike Minor took steps forward. Kris Medlen was not as great as he was last season but is still a very good, young pitcher. Brandon Beachy suffered setbacks coming back from Tommy John Surgery but has proven in the past that he could be a top pitcher. The Braves also have a...

Baseball 2013 Final Report Card (American League)

AL East 1. Boston Red Sox (97-65) The Red Sox went from worst to first in a year. Moreover, they brought the third World Series title since 2004 to the Fenway Faithful. They did it impressively beating the Tampa Bay Rays, Detroit Tigers, and St. Louis Cardinals. Moreover, they did it after the tragedy of the Boston Marathon bombing at the beginning of the year. There is nothing more a team could have done for its city. Grade: A+ 2....
