Bruce Bochy Is Hanging Up The Uniform

Bruce Bochy, a man who has been in the game for a long time has announced that after 25 years of managing, he is set to retire. For the past 13 years, Bochy has managed the San Francisco Giants and has taken them to three World Series: 2010, 2012, and 2014. Bochy came to the Giants after managing the San Diego Padres from 1995-2006 and taking them to NL pennant in 1998.

Out of all managers who have taken a single team to three titles have been inducted to the hall of fame. Bochy answered in an interview saying "that's not even on my mind right now, I've always managed with my gut, I came up here in 2007 with my gut and I'm going to leave here with a gut feeling, it's time."

Bochy started as a player as most managers do. He played a collective 9 seasons in the big leagues as a catcher for the Mets, Astros, and Padres. He is no stranger to the game by any means, he has played for and managed some of the best teams. Over his years as a manager, his win to loss record is in the top 15, sitting at 1,926-1,944.

Bochy announced he is set to retire after the 2019 season, it's something he has put a lot of thought into and discussed with his family. Right now his head is taking it one game at a time and looking for the Giants to have a big year. He's not looking forward to a bucket list or any special vacations, his head is in this last season, and the way the preseason games have started, the odds of him taking another pennant are looking good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
