Moj 2013 MLB predviđanja

Bejzbol – quite possibly the greatest thing invented by humanity.

It’s that time of year. Lush green grass, clay-red warning track and infield, pristine white bases, sizzling hot dogs, icy slushies, the crack of wood. Baseball season.

And today’s opening day. Odobreno, there’s only one game today, but it counts. (Most teams’ first game of the season is tomorrow, April 1st.) Regardless, today is a great day for all baseball fans, including me.

Background info: there are 30 teams in the MLB (major league baseball), and each plays 162 games in the regular season. The teams are split into 6 divisions of 5 teams each. The teams in each division with the most wins, plus 4 wild-card teams, move on to the playoffs.

Many baseball fans and experts – including me – take this time to predict how many games each team will win this season, as well as which team will “win” their division. Ima 2,430 games in the regular season, so we just concern ourselves with that for now. Playoff stuff comes later.

I’m a big baseball fan, so I figure this year I’ll chime in with my predictions and picks for who wins the division. I’m just a humble fan – not even close to an expert – so take my predictions with a grain of salt.

I’ve written down how I think each team will do (wins/losses), plus some analysis that’s loaded with baseball jargon. Avoid the analysis if you don’t know too much about baseball. Remember that the top team in every division (rank 1) gets to move on to the playoffs, so everyone is fighting for that spot.

I, bez dodatnih teškoća, my predictions & picks.

Slijedite 2012 Izbori sa Google politici izborne tracker

TL;dr. -check out Google’s awesome political election tracker

I’m a political junkie, pa pratim ovogodišnju republikansku primarni proces sa žarom s kojim sam, također bejzbol fanatik, pratite baseball – što znači, jako puno. A glavne stvari u izbornoj sezoni paziti su sami izbori – u ovogodišnjem slučaju, svake države primarno u kojoj su republikanski kandidati natječu.

Ovi izbori su strašan, ali da ih u potpunosti uživati ​​trebam statistiku. Trebam rezultate. Trebam podatke. Trebam kul grafove. Trebam veliku političku tracker. Pa pogledajte što sam našla:

Moj (besplatno) Kindle Popis čitanje

Ispostavilo se da ne postoji takva stvar kao besplatan ručak, ali postoji takva stvar kao besplatan knjizi.

The cover of the Odyssey
Dostupan za nisku cijenu $0.00

I recently got a Kindle (stara vrsta, bez zaslona osjetljivog na dodir ili 3G ili ekran u boji ili ništa) za staž radim na. Mislio sam da ću dobiti neke knjige za čitanje, dok sam bio na njemu (might as well use the Kindle for what it’s intended), so I opened up the Kindle Store on my Kindle and prepared to buy a few books.

The first book on my list was Homer’s Odyssey, which I’m currently reading in English class. I scrolled though some of the results looking for the cheapest copy. $12.50, $2.50, $0.00, $1.00, $2.00… hm, looks like I’ll get the $1 one… wait, what?!?

Nešto radikalno prijedlog za škole

Ja sam često pitao pitanje “Ako bi mogao biti kralj svijeta za jedan dan, Što biste vi učinili?” Najprije, Ja bih li bio kralj trajno, ali to nije točka. Evo moje malo radikalni prijedlog koji će biti druga stvar bih učinio da sam kralj za jedan dan.

I’m part of a club that takes out the recycling in our school in the morning. Let me tell you, we collect a lot of paper: if I collect the paper of maybe 15 rooms that haven’t had their paper collected in a few days, I can fill up a whole trash can. Not the small trash cans you have in your house, I mean ones as big as janitors use. That’s a lot.

Seeing “Friday” in a different light

If you want a break from the tech talk…

Unless you’ve been living under a rock for the last month, you’ve probably heard of (and had the misfortune of listening to) Rebecca Black’s Friday. Znate, that song with the 13-year-olds driving cars and the nasally teenager wondering where to sit? That one.

After a shocking experience (more about that later), I’ve had to start questioning why I (and pretty much everyone I know) hate the song. Breaking it down:

  • The lyrics are junk, but most pop songs have meaningless lyrics anyway.
  • The tune’s pretty catchy, no faults there.
