World Series 2009: Match Up Or Meant To Be?
10/27/2009
Hello everyone, I'm Ethel Lair
I am from Pennsylvania. My favorite teams are not mostly from PA, but from New York except for my college teams and those teams come from the local city of State College, PA and they would be the Penn State Nittany Lions. I follow their teams in basketball and football and check up on their other teams from time to time in the news.
I enjoy sports and enjoy writing even though nothing I've written has been published as yet.
I enjoy most all sports. I do not enjoy golf, boxing, or wrestling in that order very much, but do keep up with all the sports in the news so I can converse or write about all sports. I try to keep up with all things in the news by searching the web and doing other research so that I can stay informed.
I enjoy spending time with my family whenever I can and care for my Mom now almost 95 years young 24 hours a day everyday and that keeps me busy, but I'm glad I can do it for her as she has always been there for me raising me alone was not easy.
I also joined some other sites so I could be in touch like facebook and myspace recently. I have a site I created also through my Internet service. I have it set up with several pages and I think it looks pretty good for being done by an amateur. I ,also, when not doing all of the above enjoy playing games online and watch some TV shows and movies from time to time on TV and DVD's. I, of course always have to watch my sports first of all and then other programs if no sports I follow are on TV.
I am a woman of faith and am conservative in my beliefs, but love all people and try to respect others beliefs and I try to get to know people and consider myself a good listener. I enjoy reading, but not as much time for it lately. My library grows, but my time for reading is limited.
I know you may not always agree with what I may write, but know this I will always try to be objective when it comes to all sports and all teams and be informed so I know what I am writing about and keep learning so I can become a good sports writer. Thanks Bleacher report for giving me an opportunity to do what I like to do that being write and about my favorite topic that being sports. Have a good day everyday is my wish and prayer for everyone.

Hey Ethel,
The new Yankee Stadium had been criticized for its lack of intensity and electricity in the early months of the season, but this weekend’s series against the Red Sox finally make a familiar place seem like HOME.

Thanks in advance, and I would look to hear your opinions and feedback. Take care.

Yankee fans rooting for the Red Sox? Has hell frozen over, or is there a rational thought process at the root of it all. Read why it is ok for you to root for Boston on select occasions without feeling like Benedict Arnold.

Hey Ethel,
There has always been a connection between religion and sports, and Major League Baseball has certainly not been the exception to the rule.
Check out the All-Catholic lineup…the best Catholic names (by position) in MLB history.

Hey Ethel,
The turmoil surrounding the 1977 Yankees earned them the nickname of “The Bronx Zoo.” The current 2009 Yankees have an interesting blend of leaders and pranksters, so I decided to create a LITERAL “zoo.”
Check out what animal each Yankee would be reincarnated as in a next life.

Hey,
Chien-Ming Wang collected his 1st win in 379 days. This puts him on pace to reach 300 wins on Oct. 21, 2263. Can it happen? Read why I am not ruling the tall Taiwanese right-hander out quite yet.

Hey,
Read about a metaphoric but also personalized tale about a cocky Yankees fan realizing the harsh realities and lessons of professional athletics. I would love to hear your opinions.

Hey,
The Yankees have been putrid against Boston this year, especially over a 3-game sweep in Fenway Park. They are returning to the scene of the crime tonight, and this slideshow highlights 5 major reasons why this time around could be very different:

Hi Ethel!
Thought I would give The Relay for Life one more push before our big event Saturday. This one is a more in-depth look into the story of Dave Dravecky. Also posted a link for the Josiah Herring Funeral Fund!

It appears as though Nick Swisher’s Yankees honeymoon is coming to a close, and is being replaced with married life. Smiles are quickly transitioning into expressions of concern. Read about how bad it has gotten for Swish in the Bronx.

Hello Ethel!
It is so nice to hear that I was able to in some way give you extra motivation to move forward with your writing. When you speak from the heart, is is very evident that you are a talented writer, and there is no doubt in my mind that you can reach a lot of readers with your literary voice.
I wish you the absolute best of luck with your recovery, as I have recently been through a torn ACL and definitely understand the pains of rehabilitation. Furthermore, I hope your mother continues to add to that amazing life and story of her's, and I pray for continued good health for her.
It is wonderful to reach another passionate baseball and Yankees fan with my work, and it was an absolute honor to win AOTD today for the Gardner piece.
I look forward to speaking with you again many times in the future, and can't thank you enough for the VERY kind words for my work, article, and any positive impact I had on you today. Keep up the great work, and take care!

Ethel - if you get a minute, let me know what you think of this piece. It's about defense winning championships - and what that means for the 2009 Yanks.
