JAMIE MOYER RETIRES. (OR


WILL HE?)
AGAIN BY: SCOTT THAYRES
Two World Series, what a great way to end a
baseball career at age 46.Yesterday evening, Jamie Moyer
announced his official retirement. Today, the Phillies made
it official, Moyer’s number #50 will be retired. “It’s an
honor to have played for the Phillies and for every other
team I played for. Thank you for the memorable
moments.” Jamie said during his good-bye speech.

“Jamie was a great pitcher and loved baseball.


Maybe he’ll be “Favred” later on and want to come
back.“ Charlie Manuel said in a press conference. Now,
the Phillies are deciding on retiring #50.

picture of today. Clean streets, sidewalks, alleys, everything is
cleaner. “I’m not the only African-American out there with a
great life. Go talk to the rest of em in the Country.” said an
African-American citizen on the streets of New York City. “You
don’t see anyone sleeping on the sidewalk so you know this
economy is holding together.”
No bums. It’s a great sight when you know everyone has a
home. It means that a Socialist economy can keep a country
stable. Not only that, but it keeps the crime rate low and in check,
gang-related violence low to near depletion and illegal drugs are
still stuck in Cuba.
No gunshots, no shouting, no taps and bangs of the
clattering of trash. It’s all soundless to me. All I can hear is just
hallelujahs and hums.
