Last week the Fall school semester began and as a result I've been MIA for the most part. This semester I'm taking General Chemistry and Cell Evolutionary Biology. In conjunction with work, both classes promise to keep me extremely busy over the next 16 weeks.
This week was also one of sweeps. The Los Angeles Dodgers swept the Washington Nationals to hold onto a shot for the NL wildcard. Of course, since no one ahead of the Dodgers seems to want to lose, their wildcard deficit holds at three. The Angels swept the Seattle Mariners, pulling ahead of them by five games. And last--but certainly not least--the New York Yankees dealt a devestating blow to Boston Red Sox fans by sweeping them in this week's series at Yankee Stadium. Chen Ming Wang demoralized Boston by pitching 7 shut-out innings, 6 1/3 of them hitless.
Not only was this a big week for the Dodgers, Angels, and Yankees, but it was also a big week for my buddy

As August draws to a close September promises to be one wild ride. Intradivision play is underway and the final push for spots in those precious October games is in full swing.
