Federer the Champ!

This is more like it!!!

Roger Federer winning Grand Slams in slamming fashion! Last night at Arthur Ashe Stadium in Flushing Meadows, the former world number one disassembled British boy Andy Murray in straight sets, convincingly 6-2, 7-5, 6-2. This was a huge relief for Roger, who has been under so much pressure to win this Open and did not crack. The year has been filled with emotions, scrutiny and doubt but he rescues it here with a five-peat in New York.

You know, alot of people have been saying how this is the end for the Fed Express. I've never believed so. I started calling him the best tennis player ever lived at the start of this year. Not once did I waver on that call, not when he lost in Melbourne, not when he was thrashed in Paris, not when he epically lost in London. In fact, I think those experiences made him a better player, if not, then a better person. No body could win all the time, and this year has tested the character of Federer. I think it's safe to say that the guy is one of the mentally toughest players ever to live, not to mention the most sportsmanlike. Look out for him next year, he is far from over! Sampras' record will be snatched away, you can bet on it!!

And how bout those Toronto Blue Jays??!! NINE IN A ROW!!! NINE STRAIGHT WINS FOR TORONTO! That's never been done in close to 10 years!! Wow, now this is how a long winning streak feels!! Darn good, I tell ya. They've been on fire at the plate, solid on the mound and coming up big in the clutch. Say, just 20 minutes ago, the Jays were down 2-1 in the 4th inning to the White Sox, but now, they've tacked on 4 runs to lead it 5-2. This is how teams win games. This is the Jays team we've been missing for 15 years. Now the question is, just how long can this streak last? And will they, maybe, just maybe, repeat what the Rockies did in 2007??!!

Now go watch some baseball!!
