Okay, a quick quiz: What's the best sport? (See above picture for answer.) Unfortunately, the season ended yesterday for the best team in the best sport, the Boston Red Sox. No playoffs, no championship for the Red Sox this year. That's okay, you can't always win. Do you like the sport I'm talking about? Or do you prefer another sport? Why? I like the best sport because it combines skill, psychology, and athleticism. It's also the only major team sport that is not timed. Over a season, you get to know the players on your team really well, and you expereince lots of ups and downs with them. It's kind of like reading a really great story. Anyway, tell me about your "best" sport, and why you enjoy it.

no, no mr Griffen. best sport def is basketball. not baseball.
ReplyDeleteand i think basketball can practice people's body and mind. also it is very 'interesting'(doesn't like baseball , you might just stand there for hole game and do nothing lol ) and i guess that's why basketball is most popular sport in the world , and it's why NBA can earn so much money from all over the world . My favorite basketball team is Lakers! which is the best team in the NBA. they got NBA championship last year , and just prove everybody again the are the best!! So, i think the best sport is Basketball.
of course，baseball."it combines skill, psychology, and athleticism. "I very agree this.I think this is the different from another sports."That's okay, you can't always win. "I want tell this to TA football,that's ok,the important is make fun in during the game.
ReplyDeleteI like swimming,it's also a different sport.the water can help me to relax.And I can feel swimming smooth when I did standard positions.
For me there is almost no best sports. Because my interests are changing all the time. When I was in primary school, I thought ping-pong was the best sports ever. I used to like it a lot. Because it can not only improve my ping-pong skills, but also my ability to organize things with my friends. Since I liked it that much I used to be really good at it. Time went by, I became not so interested in it anymore. Now, for me the best sport maybe basketball. I enjoy playing "pig" a lot. It is very fun!
ReplyDeleteThe best sport is baseball and the best team is Boston red sox.it s okay they didnt get in to the playoff. you cant win all the time.that s what everybody tell to our football team too. for me football is the best sport.you have to be strong and play smart. it s pretty hard.i m a starter and i ll try hard on it. T R O J A N S
ReplyDeleteActually,I like baseball.But I perfer basketball.I think basketball is the most exciting sport on earth. I f you want play it well ,you have to have a good skill,and good sense. If you want to maybe healthier or stronger ,playing basketball is also a good way to improve yourself.
ReplyDeletePlaying basketball can also develop your personality,and sense of teamwork,through playing basketball,you can be taught how to make good cooperations with others. it is good for your future and your career.
I like to do sports, I like to play basketball, i enjoy playing it, i like dribble, shot, play games with friends, challenge people, I cant wait for the basketball season start. i like wear suit before the game, i like hung out with my teammates, i like playing hard to win the games for school. i enjoy every moment on the court. anyways, i do like baseball, cause u like it,hahaha. i like red sox too. i am sorry they didn't make the play off games. i enjoy playing sports, football, soccer, i do know a little bit and i always play those with fiends.
ReplyDeleteIn my opinion soccer is the best sports in the world, because in some baseball game, some of player never move. but in most of soccer game. Player always move to proper position and to win a soccer game need teamwork. So this is the one biggest difference between soccer and baseball. Also this is the reason I like soccer.
ReplyDeleteBy the way my favorite soccer national team are Spain and USA. My favorite soccer club is Real Madrid. My favorite soccer player are Xavi Hernandez, Iker Casillas, Sergio Ramos, Sergio Busquets, Xabi Alonso and Mesut Ozil.
顶明哥！......
ReplyDeleteI like baseball, it's a long time game, but sometimes it will get very fast, that is the charm of baseball. I have participated in baseball training for one years in grade 5,6.
but but but but ,the most best\fantastic\popular\inclusive\exciting game is soccer. No team, no champion. I love to see the ball go into the gate after many many wonderful pass. I love to see the curve of soccer's flight path. I enjoy playing soccer.
I think you know that i have been to Portland and saw a baseball game last year with TA. It was fun and exciting.I do think it is one of the best sports in the world. But i think badminton is also one of the best sports in the world. It is an exciting sport too but it's also save. we're not easy to get hurt when we're playing badminton.
ReplyDeleteOf course, i don't play badminton very bad( but not good) and i enjoy playing it very much. I hope that we can have a badminton team in TA one day...
In fact, I don't have a best sport. But if I have to make a decision, I would choose baseball. Why? Because it's my idol's favorite! I love everything as long as he likes and I think baseball is really a fantastic sport.
ReplyDeleteFirst, baseball is a game for teams. So it needs not only skills but also the cohesion of a team. My Idol's favorite team is the giant baseball team in Tokyo. So Mr. Griffen, I'm sorry--the best team is Tokyo giant baseball team! My idol said, baseball games tell us a theory,that is: try to do your best until the end of the game whatever how bad the situation is. Never say give up!
I love swimming so much. I learned swimming when I was five years old.
ReplyDeleteI don't know why I want to learn this sports. I love it after I learn it.
I love water which makes me relaxed.I can feel water smooth over my body. Every summer I choose this sports to invigorate health effectively.
Ever time I finish swimming, I will feel comfortable and clean. Maybe that why I love swimming.
I never see a baseball game, and I expect I have a chance to do that.
i love sport, i love basketball, i like to play basketball. it can make me so excited. now i'm waiting for the basketball season, i would love to join the school team, so i need to improve my skill.BASKETBALL I CAN PLAY!
ReplyDeleteActually, I don't like any sports. But compare with all sports, I like tennis and swimming.
ReplyDeleteI had been learning tennis for just two months when I was 13 years old. Then I stopped. Because it was so hard. It made my arms so hurt. And it need too much energy. I still like it, just I don't want to play it again.
I had been learning swimming when I was 7 years old. I enjoyed it at that time. But after that, some bad things happened. We swam a long distance to across a lake. I stopped before we reached shore. I can't swam more. That makes me so scared. I can't forget that scene until now. So I have a little fear about swimming now.
Anyway, doing spots are really good for us. So I will try my best to do more sports.
OK, I know I was a little late, but just a little. Forgive me, Mr. Griffin. The best sports is baseball~~~~~tennis!!!!!!!.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite sports is tennis. I joined the TA tennis team last semester, that was so fun. I played several games with other school's tennis player, I won a lot, also I lost many games. But that was fun last semester, I learned a lot in the tennis team. I have started learning tennis since I join the tennis team. At first, I didn't know anything, even I knew nothing about the roles. Coach was very patient and taught me everything. I skill growed up really fast at that time.
But know, the tennis season is not coming yet, I 'm practicing these days ,and I'm ready for the tennis season comming.
football is so cool,But i like swimming best,I think swimming can help us to keep health, can let me help to tall, also can reduce weight, I had to enjoy swimming every time.Do you like swimming ?
ReplyDeleteBaseball , and the best team is Red sox
ReplyDeleteThere are many kinds of sports that I enjoy, such as soccer, tennis, and ping-pong. However, the sport that I like most is pool. When I was in junior high, I started to play pool . At that time, I found I had loved deeply this sport. Now, I would like to watch pool games as much as I can. The pool games have given me the most wonderful time in my life.
OK i have no choice baseball. And the best team is Red Sox.
ReplyDeleteI enjoy a lot of sports, like ping-pong, basketball, tennis, soccer. But my favorite sport is snowboard. When you slip on the snow, that is the easy way you can feel the speed. Sometimes the speed is faster than car. But is m
ore realistic and much safety. I started to play snowboard last year. It's really difficult to learn how to control. And it's easy to hire yourself. But that is one of the reason I love this sport. finally you thorough grasp it. You will have fun.
Baseball! The best sport of the world. I like it. Just because Mr Griffin like it and i love Red sox too! Look, i and Mr Griffin have a same idea! But i still like swimming too. Swimming is a very healthy sport, and good for our body. I hope you guys will love it. Swimming can lose the weight. And when you finish swimming you will feel very fresh and cool. When i lived in China i swimming every-week. So i like it. Right now i like baseball because it's a no time game and Red sox is my favorite! So i like baseball and i still love swimming!
ReplyDeleteThe best sports i like?? Let me think,i have no idea. I like to play soccer,football,volleyball, but not baseball(sorry, mr. griffin,ha ha). Yesterday,i watched the football game between TA and Biddeford（that's the first game that i've ever watched,maybe it was the last game in this year). Although TA lost the game, it was a pretty good game.
ReplyDeletei think the one who play football needs a strong body and a clever mind.Teamwork is very important too.No one can just play by himself in this game and they need help while they're playing.
Well I don’t really like baseball because I think it’s not a sport were u run a lot and u do a lot of exercise. I ‘m a soccer player. I have that sport in my blood. I love that sport cause u are always running to get the ball, you have to be strong to fight and get the ball and have a lot of skills to overcome your opponent. Another sport that I love is the snowboarding it’s a great sport where u can have fun while you are in the snow and do exercise.
ReplyDeleteI like baseball but my favorite sport is soccer. Spain won the world cup this year and we are all very proud of our team. I feel very passionate about soccer.
ReplyDeleteI live very close to a soccer stadium and my favorite team is Real Madrid F.C. I go to all the games. Why do they call American Football football? The players don´t use their feet so much.
If I had to choose my favorite sport in the United States I would have to pick football. I love the Patriots.
