NEW ENGLAND PROFESSIONAL SPORTS REPORT  June 29, 2013

 Concerning the Boston Red Sox

 Our first place #Boston Red Sox team started well the second half of the season, winning last night's game  7-5. The Red Sox beat the Toronto Blue Jays again and raised their #UBWS (Unless Big Winning Streak) score to +32.0. Allen Webster pitched better, although Coach Farrell should have removed him sooner, after the sixth inning. Andrew Bailey, the first reliever, struck out two batters and gave up his habitual home run. Andrew Miller and Koji Uehara, the following relievers, did a really good job. The batters started well, scoring runs in the second, third and fourth innings. All of the starting Boston batters had at least one hit, excep for Jarrod Saltalamacchia. Five batters had two or more hits. Dustin Pedroia, Jacoby Ellsbury, Stephen Drew, and Jonny Gomes had key hits.

As of today, the daily composite score for each team in the Eastern Division of the American League is the following:

  • Boston  +32.0
  • Baltimore  +25.2
  • New York Yankees  +19.6
  • Tampa Bay  +14.9
  • Toronto  +10.6
As we mentioned previously, we start to update our daily UBWS statistics for each @Major League Baseball team by following these steps:

  1. Determine the number of wins.
  2. Determine the number of losses.
  3. Subtract the number of losses from the number of wins, getting a positive or negative total.
The next two statistics that interest us are the following:

4. Find number of games remaing in the regular season.
5. Determine what would be the number for ten percent of the remaining games.

Although we are showing you these steps as bullet points, you can easily format a chart with six columns at the moment. First, put the name of the team in the first column and then the appropriate statistic in each other column. Now let's apply all of the above UBWS steps to Boston and its division.

  • Boston:  49 wins, 33 losses, difference of +16, 80 games left, 10%= 8.0, final total of +32.0
  • Baltimore:  45 wins, 36 losses, difference of +9, 81 games left, 10%= 8.1, final total of +25.2
  • New York Yankees:  42 wins, 37 losses, difference of +5, 83 games left, 10%= 8.3, final total of +19.8
  •  Tampa Bay:  41 wins, 39 losses, difference of +2, 82 games left, 10%= 8.2, final total of +14,9
  • Toronto:  39 wins, 40 losses, difference of -1, 83 games left, 10%= 8.3, final total of 10.6
Greetings to all my followers in the United States, Venezuela, Russia, Germany, Holland, and Pakistan.

First Challenge Faced (Hound Hike 100) in April 2022

Image
  It is past time for us to start informing you about the twenty-seven (27), if I counted right, April 2022 Challenges that Akira and I took on and our successful participation in them. You are also encouraged to consider giving a donation to help the Air Ambulance Charity Kent, Surrey, Sussex in Chatham, England, United Kingdom. Four of April's challenges started on April 1, 2022, and three of them ended on April 30. Since The Hound Hike 100 (100 Miles, in our case) was the longest challenge and would take the most days to complete, we will treat it as the first challenge of the month. The organization expressed its challenge in these words: "We challenge you and your canine companion to walk a minimum of 100 kilometers or 100 miles by the end of April 30, 2022. Together you will help save lives with every step you take." "Join this STRAVA Club to help track your progress." To learn a little more about the organization that promoted this challenge, I invit

We continue to inform you about the March 2022 challenges that Akira and I accepted, the digital insignias that we received for successfully completing them, and a donation promoted to help the victims of Ukraine through the International Committee of the Red Cross. Ukraine Relief Challenge   March 2022 During the month of March we promoted donations for a worthy cause that was part of the seventh challenge of March 2022. The "All with Ukraine" challenge (Ukraine Relief Challenge) included an invitation to donate to the International Committee of the Red Cross. The challenge began on March 14 and ended on March 27, 2022. This seventh challenge consisted of completing five (5) kilometers or more in a single activity (in our case, a walk). Akira and I did our walk the same morning when the challenge started and STRAVA confirmed it to us at 6:51am. We are waiting for the start of the last challenge of March. Although the official time for this walking challenge has ended, we
