The Yankees won in a 9-3 victory over the Mets. Curtis Granderson hit his 16th homerun of the season. Robinson Cano hit a single two on double. A-rod hit .750 (6 for 8). Mark Teixeira soon got to 1st base after being intentionally walked. With A-rod due up, Mets third baseman Willie Harris moved back, expecting anything, but what followed after a powerful swing was a 60 foot bounce. A-Rod was able to get on base with that bounce.

Cheeseburger in Paradise – it’ll make you HUNGRY

By Lauren Mazzella

Cheeseburger in Paradise is one of my favorite songs. The history of this song goes a really long way back. Jimmy Buffet and his friends once went on a trip. On that trip they went to a restaurant called “Cheeseburger in Paradise.” While they were in the restaurant they were ordering their food. He wrote the song for the people who wanted to escape to paradise from the real world. Also, another thing about the song is that Jimmy Buffet thought if he wrote the song everyone would enjoy the song while they would be eating their food from the “Cheeseburger in Paradise” restaurant. Jimmy also loves that they play his song while people are in the line at the restaurant. Jimmy Buffet likes to eat at the restaurant too.

Zac Efron - One of the Cutest Boys in Hollywood!

By Sara Wolf

Zac Efron is a very funny, intelligent, and handsome young man. He shows lots of charisma in his movies. Any girl would be lucky to go on a date or be in a movie with him. He always has a good appearance and never messes with his health like Michael Jackson did. He never takes inappropriate medication or doesn’t do plastic surgery. It’s a superior thing that he takes good care of himself. My favorite Zac Efron movies are “17 Again” and “Charlie St. Cloud.” I hope Zac Efron will be considered a good actor as his career goes on. I bet he will meet a woman that he will love and have adorable kids. I’m sure he will be a great father in the future just like in “17 Again.”
I wish I had a charming boyfriend like Zac. SO DREAMY!
