Chris Sale

Baseball's diva

As baseball fans, we've heard every story and seen every possible moment in the book. Rain delays, lightning scares, funny fan moments, paper airplanes flying onto the field, animals running rapidly in stadiums, moths that cause injuries, hot dog vendors that make phenomenal catches and circus lights causing postponements. We've seen it all, heard it all, and have witnessed every moment-- whether good or bad-- that baseball has to offer...or so we thought.

On Saturday, the White Sox entered U.S. Cellular Field for a game against the Tigers. Thousands of fans entered the stadium in anticipation for this AL Central matchup, featuring the solid pitching of the White Sox against the dominant offense of the Tigers. Many White Sox fans wondered if this would be the last time they would watch Chris Sale with a White Sox uniform on (part of the pun). With the Trade Deadline looming, rumors have been running rapidly about the future of the southpaw, and what it would take to get him. Many wondered how he could increase his trade value with a solid start against the Tigers. Unfortunately, he never saw the mound...or the dugout.

Reports began circulating that Chris Sale was scratched from his start. At first, an illness was reported. Over the course of the morning, the illness rumor was quickly replaced, and by the start of the game, it was reported that Sale was sent home over a clubhouse incident. Upset with the White Sox choice of uniforms for the game, Sale decided to protest, and he began to cut the uniforms up which made them unwearable. The throwback uniforms were being worn as part of a fan giveaway at the stadium. Fortunately for the fans, they would still receive their jerseys. The team, however, didn't, and were forced to wear a new uniform for the game.

Unfortunately for Sale, this could negatively affect his trade value. Sale's actions, to many, were very selfish and unprofessional. Teams may look at his actions and think twice about allowing unprofessional conduct and attitude into their organization(s). With the Trade Deadline looming and a White Sox team that isn't going anywhere, it will be an interesting story to follow. Sale may stay in the White Sox organization, but he is definitely going to be known as baseball's "diva."

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
