8 Things Every Phoenician Arizonan Will Protect With Their Lives

Phoenix, Arizona is the sixth most populated city in the country (HA. Take that, Philadelphia). That being said, there doesn't seem like there is much to do in Phoenix, especially when you've lived here your entire life. However, the things that we have, we will protect.

If you have a friend from Phoenix you want to annoy or if you're a native Phoenician wanting to relate, here's my list of the top 8 things Phoenicians cannot get enough of.

A Division-By-Division Review Of The MLB In May

Now that it is more than 1/3 of the way into the season, the good teams have separated themselves from the bad ones.

May was one of the most exciting months of baseball in a long time. For some insight, the MLB set the record for most home runs hit in any one month at 1,135 home runs. Austin Riley, the newest call-up for the Braves, has gone on a historic tear with nine home runs in his first 18 games, good enough for NL Rookie of the Month. Hyun-Jin Ryu, the Dodgers pitcher, is the NL Pitcher of the Month after giving up just three runs total in all of May. So let's take a look at what has happened inside each division in May.

As A Cardinals Fan, I Let Albert Pujols Go A LONG Time Ago

They say time heals all wounds, but is that the case with St. Louis Cardinals fans and Albert Pujols?

It's hard to properly encapsulate what Albert Pujols meant to the city of St. Louis. He's without a doubt in my mind, statistically, one of the greatest Cardinals players of all time right up there with names like Bob Gibson, Ozzie Smith, and Stan Musial. His list of accolades in a Cardinals uniform is borderline unbelievable: Rookie of the year in 2001, 9x All-Star (8 consecutive from 2003-2010), 3x MVP, 6x Silver Slugger and 2x Gold Glove winner. Not to mention, he was an integral piece of two World Series victories in 2006 and 2011. The recipe was right there to continue his career as a Cardinal and retire an immortalized legend, but things somehow took a turn for the worst after the 2011 World Series.

Dexter Fowler Deserves An Apology

Roughly a fourth of the way through the season, it's very clear that a lot of us were wrong about Fowler.

University of Missouri

Baseball is a mental game just as much, if not more of a physical one. Baseball is one of those unique games where failure is present at all times. If you hold a .300 batting average, you've got a pretty good chance of getting into the Hall of Fame. For context, Ty Cobb holds the record for highest career batting average at .366 and was inducted into the Hall of Fame. In any other sport, if you're only successful 30% of the time, you're rarely viewed as excellent in your sport.

Mock NFL Draft For First 3 Picks

The NFL Draft Is Where Teams Are Made

Alpharetta, Georgia

NFL Draft on Instagram

Ahh Hope. Its a wonderful thing. For NFL teams, the draft is a way to restart the roster and build for the future. Some teams may be looking to add that last piece which would put them over the top and finally make them a contender. Some teams might not be so lucky, drafting that person who has such high expectations but fails to meet them. However, no matter what, as fans, we can truly say that there is nothing more suspenseful.
