Walruses actually more advanced than humans, Tsitneics Ekaf says

     For centuries, humans have assumed that they are more advanced than anybody in this universe, but they are sadly mistaken. Nobody has ever seen the wonders of the walrus population, except one Tsitneics Ekaf.
     "We just assume that we know everything, but we don't. You haven't even seen the likes of this population, I guarantee." Ekaf took pictures of the civilization, Walruca, which rivals ours.




     The advancement is simply outstanding. The walruses are much more mature as well. Over the months that he has studied them, Ekaf has noticed that they respect each other and their properties. "Honestly, we ought to be more like them," says Ekaf.

Jimmy Rollins's Career with the Phills

     Upon his return, the fans of Philadelphia gave Rollins an ovation so strong, that if you listened to or watched the game that night, you could have sworn you were right there. Rightly so.
     Imagine this: A little over 15 years ago, you watch the Phillies game, and they stink. Play after play they fail to make. One year later, 2000, you watch again, and you see a new face at shortstop, Jimmy Rollins. He makes play after play, routine and not so routine. By 2007, Rollins is the face of the newly rebuilt franchise, next to Carlos Ruiz, Ryan Howard, and Chase Utley. In 2008. Jimmy Rollins leads the Phillies to win their first World Series since 1980, and only their second overall.
     By 2012, the Phillies have lost their shine, but Rollins has not. Fast forward to 2014, when Jimmy Rollins is traded. After fourteen years, it's time to say goodbye. Zoom ahead to 2015. You're at the game, and Jimmy leads off. Within a second, you and the rest of the stadium are up on your feet, giving him a 42 second standing ovation. When you sit down, you just want to stand up again.
      Maybe you don't have to imagine the beginning of this decade. Recently, Maikel Franco made his debut with the Phillies, who plain old stink. The franchise is slowly rebuilding, with Franco as it's face. World Series, here we come.
