In dramatic fashion, Japan won the World Baseball Classic over Korea in a 10th inning thriller. Played at Dodger stadium in front of a crowd of 54,846, the Koreans and Japanese traded single run innings before ending the 9th inning with a 3-3 draw. Extra innings! Finally, in the top of the 10th inning, Seattle Mariners outfielder, Ichiro Suzuki lined a two RBI single into the outfield giving the Japan team a 5-3 lead to seal the game. For winning the WBC, Japan received the $2.7 million winner’s share and a bonus $400,000 for winning the second round. Korea received the $1.7 million runners-up share and the bonus $300,000 for winning the first round. Congratulations to the Japanese team for winning the World Baseball Classic. Hopefully the US team can win the WBC when it returns in 2013!
So here is the anticipated project from LAUSD (Los Angeles Unified Sound District) featuring L.A.’s Hip Hop scene. Most of your favorite rappers are featured, but there are a few missing. Either way this album is audio treat. LAUSD is Polyester the Saint & Lazy Lou on the Beat aka L4. As an ode to the 90′s era when the west coast was at it’s most prominent stage and was as focused on fashion as it is now, Curly Tops & Nautica Jackets were just some of the features of the in crowd. And this album features many of LA’s in-crowd. Acts like UNI, Pac Div, J*Davey, Blu, Chris Focus, Diz Gibran, El Prez, Dom Kennedy, Convinced, Tunji and many many more showed up to grace the project. Featuring all original production by LAUSD* this is more than a mixtape but a soundtrack to LA’s movement.
Check out the tracklisting and back cover artwork after the jump!
On Saturday night, in front of thousands of people at the Arco Arena in Sacremento, Westchester High school captured the 2009 Division I Basketball Title. The Westchester Comets dominated the Oakland McClymonds team from the start and never looked back beating them 49-31 in a low scoring affair. Dominique O’Conner, senior guard and City Section player of the year, led the Comets with 16 points while McClymonds beat themselves by making only 10 of 49 shots. This is the school’s fifth state title to go along with their 10 city sectional titles and the win improved coach Ed Azzam’s record to 5-0 in state title games. After a very impressive year with a 35-2 record, Westchester is expecting a stronger season next year with several starters returning including Dwayne Polee Jr. and Jordin Mayes! Good Luck Y’all!!!
P.S. In case you did not know, Josh and I are both proud graduates of Westchester High, Class of ’05! Weeeeesssttt! Haha
