Mentone + Todd/Dennis=Trouble

2006-04-09T17:49:00.000-07:00

The Egg Plant Costume & Hideout

Mentone has over a thousand people unemployed because of horseplay from Dennis and Todd. Somehow these two guys got in the egg plant and dunked all the eggs in chocolate. This was funny at the time when the people saw this happen, but they never thought about turning them over to the police. Apparently they looked just like Roy from North Manchester, and they arrested Roy who was the wrong guy. Roy knew it was the Lions, Tigers, and Todd's who did it, which made Roy mad. Roy was finally released from jail, and Todd called him up to laugh at Roy. Not only did Todd and Dennis escape from the egg plant, but they did 1 million dollars worth of damage to the plant. The chocolate spilled all over the break room, the offices, the restrooms, and the equipment. Bam,Bam, Bam, Boom, Boom, and POW. The had a 90 gallon barrell of chocolate that was poored everywhere at the egg plant. It was also poured on people. Tood tied several people down and Dennis poured chocolate all over the fat people. When people told Todd they didn't like the AmeriSuite hotel, then thats when he started covering people in chocolate. The Easter season is coming up so Todd and Dennis covered several people that could be used for an Easter basket.

Lawrence made a difference for the Padres!!

2006-04-08T22:13:00.000-07:00

It broke my heart in half when Brian Lawrence was traded to the Nationals. Now it looks like he will be on the 60-day DL and not have the opportunity to pitch for a while. People talk about Jake Peavy, Brian Giles, and Trevor Hoffman who deserve attention. The thing I miss that Brian helped the Padres with was the heart he had out on the playing field. Lawrence threw many innings throughout his career for the Padres and did a great job. He pitched so many innings and gave all he had out on the playing field for the Padres. Now I see him on the disabled list and heart broken that he's not going to be pitching for awhile. In the past, if somebody in the Padre rotation went down, then Lawrence made a strong effort to keep the Padres from going under. He might of been a thirteen to fourteen game winner on average, but it was special to see him pitch several long innings for the Padres. He very well might of thrown his arm out, and I hope that's not the case. Lawrence doesn't get the credit he deserves, but I'm giving him alot of credit for giving the Padres a chance to make the playoffs.

Padres get smoked once again!

2006-04-08T21:48:00.000-07:00

Woody Williams and Chan Ho Park need to be in the starting rotation. I am despised seeing both of them in the bullpen I think it's rediculous. I bet if one of them started these last couple games, then we would atleast be 2-2. That was not a good move and the Padres will soon regret it. Vinny Castilla is colder than an ice-pack which means that Mark Belhorn or Geoff Blum should get a chance to play. They would atleast put the ball in play.

Brazelton who is a starting pitcher for the Padres got demolished, executed, tortured, and cooked on a camp fire. He gave up 7 runs in the first inning. The Padres now have a 1-3 record, which is blammed on behalf of bad pitching. Dave Roberts, Adrian Gonzalez, and Brian Giles continue to do well offensively, but the pitching sucks.

Favorite Nascar Drivers!!!!

2006-04-08T08:46:00.000-07:00

Jeff Gordon first off is my favorite driver in Nascar, and he's heating up in the Nextel Cup Series. I also like Carl Edwards, Elliot Sadler, and Greg Biffle as my other favorite drivers. If Edwards wins a race he will do a flip off his car and land on both feet. All you can say is amazing, so hopefully we see Carl in the winner circle.

The Eye of Tiger!!

2006-04-08T08:22:00.000-07:00

The player of the week goes to Craig Shelton of the Detroit Tigers who is on a tear. Craig has (5) Home Runs and could add a couple more by the end of the week. It's good to see the Tigers are getting production from underated players. The starting pitching for the Tigers has impressed me so far this opening week. I hope the Tigers can continue winning ball games, and make the White Sox miss the playoffs.

Vick has protection now!!!

2006-04-08T08:03:00.000-07:00

The Atlanta Falcons most recently made a deal with the Saints acquiring Wanye Gandy for Bryan Scott. It was really sad seeing Bryan Scott leave because he was outstanding in the secondary. Wayne Gandy is an offensive tackle that blocks very well, which the Falcons needed badly. I think this move for Atlanta will give Micheal Vick much more time to throw the ball downfield because Gandy can pick up a blitz very well. My prediction at this point has the Falcons making the playoffs because they have an offensive line. This makes Micheal Vick very dangerous, so watch out!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Welcome home Todd's brother!!!!!!!!!

2006-04-07T22:25:00.000-07:00

Dennis and His Wife Bill Moore!

The horseman Dennis Moore will be the guest of honor this week at a major lake in Rochester, Indiana. He will be helping at the Plymouth Golf Course with Justin Woodcox and will help Micah on the roof. This is a great opportunity to meet Todd's brother and get to know a total idiot. This clown is also cleaning toilets, so make them dirty as possible. Plus, Dennis has quite an odor so he needs an available shower at a nice lakeside house. The rumors have it that Micah Sibert will provide great hospitality for Todd's brother, and a shower for the poopsmith. Let me tell you where Dennis has been, since arriving at paradise. He was basically living with Roy in North Webster, and things just did not work out as planned. Then he got a job with Schwan Foods, and got dismissed for riding around on his horse making food deliveries. Then he moved to Indianapolis, and Todd provided room + board at the Amerisuite hotel. He really likes the Wizard of Oz and wants to someday live in Kansas. He graduated from Wawassee, and really wants to play in Brad Miller's fantasy football league.

Padres Lose

2006-04-07T21:54:00.000-07:00

The Padres were lost in the Fogg Friday night!

Despite an early 4-2 lead for the Padres it went downhill in the sixth inning. The bullpen looked terrible tonight and I didn't feel I needed to watch the ninth inning. The Rockies were ahead 8-4 last I knew, and may of ended up worse. The player that did show up for the Padres tonight was Brian Giles going 2 for 2 at the plate. The clutch hitting was not their for the Padres tonight. Leaving men on base will not make your ballclub productive. I've been pretty opimistic about this season, and the only thing I can tell you is that we need Mike Cameron back NOW!!!!!!!!!! We will be lucky to win one out of the next two games against the Rockies. Chan Ho Park and Alan Embree were the only relief pitchers that didn't give up a run, but everybody else did. Besides Linebrink, and Hoffman who never give up runs.The sad thing was that we lost big time at Petco Park, and not Coors Field. Coors Field is a hitters park, and Petco Park is a pitchers park. All I can say is that the bullpen needs some work, or it could get ugly the rest of the week. What also makes it worse is that Shawn Estes was put on the 15-day DL, and does that suck (like a duck).

Just out on DVD this week!

2006-04-06T20:51:00.000-07:00

Everybody should get a chance to see the Chronicles of Narnia and enjoy the amazing adventure with the whole family. I actually bought it on DVD this week and I'm very happy I did. The next movie I'm anxious to see is the Pirates of the Carribbean 2, which will be coming to theaters not too long from now.

Lions and Tigers and Todd!!!!!

2006-04-06T19:37:00.000-07:00

This e-mail goes out to Todd at the Amerisuite Hotel in Indianapolis, Indiana. Todd is actually from Detroit and we happened to of saw him wearing a Lions coat. Which was not a good idea if you mess with the Rochester Boys. In conclusion, we thought it would be nice to put Todd on the Wizard of OZ. All together now "Lions and Tigers, and Todd oh my" .
Words of advice would be to never wear a Detroit Lions coat again, because you'll be somewhere over the rainbow in Kansas.

Mets Looking New!!!

2006-04-06T12:16:00.000-07:00

The New York Mets are going to be exstatic with the upgrade of the new ballpark. This does mean that the Mets will stay in the Queens for sometime. The upgrade has the Mets very opimistic about the upcoming years.

Hello Mr. President

2006-04-06T09:35:00.000-07:00

It was nice to see President Bush at the Reds and Cubs game opening week for Major League Baseball. He threw out the first pitch, and excited many fans. Lets make sure were greatful that he is the President, and appreciate the good things he's done for us. Maybe he should pitch for the Reds because they could use another starting pitcher. I hope the Reds can keep winning ball games because they are predicted to finish last place in the National League Central. I really hate predictions, and I hope to never hear anymore this year. Go Reds!!!

You got to appreciate Family & Friends!

2006-04-06T08:32:00.000-07:00

This posting maybe a little out of date since Jay County made the State Championship but it's worth appreciating these great people. I want to thank Micah & Woody for coming to the championship game because they made my life a dream watching my brother play ball. I want to next thank my parents for the tickets and great tee-shirts provided to support the Patriots. It was great to see Craig and his wife, plus seeing my sister who I have not seen forever. They are the best sibblings that care alot about family, and have always been great sport competitors. My brother Craig was one of the best tennis players I've ever seen play, and he was so close to making state for #1 singles. The next star in high school to look out for is Ben Wilson who plays #1 singles for Shanandoeh in tennis. Ben is great cousin to know, and has a great chance to make it to state for tennis. He practices really hard with his game, and I hope that he goes all the way for Shanandoeh. Ben has two great parents that have really encouraged him to succeed in the game of tennis. Dave and Carol Wilson have two other kids that are also going to be successful in sports just like Ben. Some other people to thank that came to Conseco fieldhouse would be Brian Evans who has been a great support for Randy many years. He got Randy involved at the Boys Club playing basketball on a regular basis. Brian was a great outside shooter that had great skills for a basketball player. The next people I want to recognize is Joe Hartzell and Cory Muhlenkamp who came to Conseco Fieldhouse just to see Randy play for a state title. Joe is my cousin, and he is a great person that had great athletic skills as well. Cory is a really nice guy to know because he has been a big plus for Randy. It was also nice to see Paul and Jane at the game because they are also to great relatives that are exceptional family oriented people. Kristin and her friend were a great support for Randy at Conseco Fieldhouse. John Evans and Keith Muhlenkamp came to the game ready for some basketball because they are the best sport fans known to man. Johnny is a Laker fan and Keith has been a spur fan for quite sometime. Randy Evans and John Evans were two of the best outside shooters that I've ever seen in high school basketball. Johnny played for Fort Recovery and was lethal from downtown. If you put Johnny and Randy on the same team it would be awesome to see. It was also nice seeing Richie at the game because that was one great tennis player as well. The people that I really want to thank over all the years is my grandma and grandpa (Richard & Lois Hull). They are the best grand-parents that have always been a support for each family. If there was a sporting event nearby they would be there cheering for all of us. I remember talking to grandpa about the greatest team ever, and that would be the Big Red Machine. He took us kids to Reds games and made our lives exciting because he was the best. Grandma always made us kids run to the rock, and she always had great food sitting on the table. She cared very much about God, and encouraged us to believe.

The Cinderella of the National League!

2006-04-06T08:16:00.000-07:00

(Prince Fielder)
Game winning hit Wednesday

The surprise team this year in the National League will be the Milwaukee Brewers. I could see this team making there way into the playoffs for the first time in several years. This team has got the best rookie prospects playing in the major league's that are capable of putting up big numbers that will really help Milwaukee out. Rickie Weeks, Prince Fielder, JJ Hardy, and Derrick Turnbow are the primetime rookies that could do serious damage.

Todays Pitcher of the day!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

2006-04-05T23:40:00.000-07:00

The Oakland Athletics closer Huston Street would be one relief pitcher that you would not want to face in the ninth inning. He's already 1-0 with an ERA of 0.00 this season. Oakland ended up winning 2 out of 3 games against the Yankees this week.

Great Hitter!!!!!!

2006-04-05T23:28:00.000-07:00

Jimmy Rollins has extended his hitting streak to 38 straight games, and continues to dominate in Philadelpha.

Giants 3 Padres 1

2006-04-05T22:38:00.000-07:00

Adrian Gonzalez (1B)
3 for 4 at the plate against
the Giants Thursday night!
Making him the hottest
hitter on the team!

Mike Cameron (OF)

It was a very close game all throughout the night, but the Giants took
advantage of a 3 (run) sixth inning. Shawn Estes pitched a nice game for the Padres giving up 3 runs. The good thing though is that the bullpen didn't give up a run for the Padres against the Giants Thursday night. The rookies on this team are looking better each game, but tonight it was Adrian Gonzalez putting together quite a show. Gonzalez hit his first home run in a Padre uniform tonight, and was 3 for 4 at the plate. Gonzalez right now is filling in for Ryan Klesko who went down with a minor injury. If Gonzalez does continue to swing a hot bat, then Klesko might find himself on the bench when he returns to the Padre lineup. The thing to look forward to is to see Mike Cameron back in the line up because of how much energy he gives this Padre ball club. Mike has worked very hard with the Padre organization, and has become a great asset to the team. Last year, there was a situation when Mike Cameron collided with one of the outfielders at Petco Park that made fans breathless even though he played for the Mets. It really made me as a Padre fan, respect how great of a player Mike Cameron really is. Adding Mike Cameron to our outfield makes the Padres very productive defensively.
I'm very happy with Kevin Towers and the decisions he's made this off-season because I like the direction this team is heading. The Padres will not get much respect, but the Padres will give 100% each day.

Padres 6 Giants 1

2006-04-04T18:18:00.000-07:00

Hats off to Jake Peavy pitching a good ball game and Mike Piazza hitting his first home run in a PADRE uniform. Josh Barfield and Adrian Gonzalez are going to be key players that need to produce in order for the Padres to stay in first. They both played exceptional during that 6-1 victory over the Giants. Many people have predicted the Padres to finish third in the National League West, and that's when we prove them wrong. I strongly predict us to finish second place with a good shot at making the wild card this season just because Clay Hensley, Scott Linebrink, and Trevor Hoffman will keep our bullpen alive. Look for Kahlil Green to have a monster year with the lumber and at shortstop defensively. He tortured the ball yesterday against the Giants and carried the Padres to victory offensively. Green's first at bat was a laser hit right at Randy Winn, but after that it was awesome seeing Green smash that ball over the left field wall. It was good to get a win under our belt, but there are many more games to be played.
Lets hope that Mike Piazza hits many more home runs and keep him healthy for the season.

The Real Champions !

Those Jay County Patriots have giving me the time off my life that I will never forget. It was something that money could not buy seeing my brother Randy Evans #23 play his heart out. Just to see him sign autograph's after winning semi-state was a great thing to witness. He was a fan favorite playing for the Patriots and lots of young kids wanted to be like him. You look back at all these years being a brother to Randy and you appreciate ever moment of time well spent. I also want to recognize Tyler Rigby for a great basketball season receiving the mental attitude reward. Randy Evans and Tyler Rigby were double partners in tennis making it to state. I went to several of the open gyms at Jay County High School, and I was always on Tyler, and Randy's team. I really do wish the best for these guys because they are great people to be with. They would hit atleast 7 out of 10 three-point shots each. If you want to start up a basketball team Tyler Rigby and Randy Evans would be cash from downtown.
The Patriots had there back against the wall since the regionals, and proved to people that they were the greatest team to ever represent Jay County.
