Perfect Game!

Athletics pitcher Dallas Braden did the nearly impossible yesterday and pitched the very rare perfect game. Unlike a no-hitter, a perfect game means NO person on the opposing team gets onto a base. That means no errors and no walks! 27 batters go up and then 27 go down. It is the 19th perfect game in baseball history and Braden becomes the 2nd player in Athletic history to throw one. It was last done by an Athletic back in 1968 when Catfish Hunter did it. Dallas Braden, from all of us at Lesley Entertainment, we say congratulations!

Celtics

The Celtics and Cavaliers are in the middle of one of the most highly anticipated series of the NBA Playoffs. Right now, the series is locked at 2 Games a piece after Rajon Rando yesterday with the help of Tony Allen and Ray Allen, were able to lift the Celtics to a win and bring this series to deadlock. However, we all know that the best player in the league, Lebron James, is going to go down with a fight. Both Lebron James and Mo Williams, the leaders of the very strong Cavaliers team, are going to give it their all especially when they go back to their home court for the first time since an embarrassing performance in Game 2 which saw the Celtics crushing. They went to Boston for Game 3 and punched the Celtics hard with an even stronger blow out. Game 5 is next, the Game of a 7 Game series that percentage wise, the winner of usually wins the series. If the Celtics can pull the upset and win Game 5 in Cleveland, they will get to go home for Game 6 with a chance to complete the series. If the Cavaliers come out with the win, then they need to only win 1 of the next 2 Games, including a Game 7 which will take place on their home court.

They unfortunately lost the fourth game in overtime on May 7th, the Flyers pushed the series on for atleast another game.

Today, Chelsea Football Club won the English Premier League. They were in the close race with Manchester United and had to win the last game to clinch the league. If they lost to Wigan, that would mean they lost the title and Manchester United had to beat stoke to win it. Although, Manchester did win their game, but they didn't win the title. Chelsea obliterated Wigan and won the game 8-0. It wasn't just winning the title that made this so memorable but Chelsea's own Didier Drogba won the golden boot, and Chelsea set an all time club record by scoring 103 goals in one season which was also a new league record.

The Red Sox next have a series again the New York Yankees which seems to be a promising series where anything could happen. The Red Sox recently beat the LA Angels 11-6.

New Voices

It is now 5:00 on Friday May 7th. Thirty minutes ago, a presentation from the Art and Craft of Scriptwriting and the Advanced Scriptwriting classes, both taught by Liv Cummins, ended. The New Voices presentation entailed public readings from scripts written in both classes. The genres ranged from comedy, to drama, to fantasy. There were also presentations on the process of writing. And refreshments. Nice. Students in both classes acted out the scripts in front of an audience with very minimalist stage production (no props). Overall, it was a very interesting event that showcased some talented aspiring writers and actors.
