Jeter Ends HR Drought At 161 ABs - RealGM Wiretap Derek Jeter hit a home run to left field on Wednesday night against the Los Angeles Angels, his first of the 2014 season.

"I'm not catching Babe Ruth or anything Thomas Davis Panthers Jersey , but at least you'd like to get one. The important thing is that we got a win. It was a good game for us in a lot of different ways." 锘? This is the third of a series of articles that document some of the names, places, catch words, and other items that are now lodged permanently in our vocabulary, History was made some 68 years ago. We dare not forget. From July to February, the name of the game is football. It starts with the exhibition season and ends with the Super Bowl extravaganza. Out of World War II has come a term about which which we all know. It is called The Blitz. The blitz is a team defensive move in which the defense sends more players than the offense can block. When the defense is running the blitz, it sends linebackers or even defensive safeties in order to try to tackle the quarterback or disrupt his pass drop. If it works Mike Tolbert Panthers Jersey , the quarterback is sacked behind the line of scrimmage for a huge loss. If the quarterback can "read" the defensive signals and pick up the blitz, it means a touchdown. The defensive team is risking its pass defense in order to get to the quarterback. One commentator picked up a verse from the Bible. You either live by the blitz or else die by the blitz. By nature, blitzes are risky endeavors for the defense. Since the defense is taking away coverage defenders to rush the QB, there necessarily are holes in pass coverage. The defense does not and cannot cover all offensive players, but rather through the blitz, is proactively involved in rattling the QB, sacking the QB Kawann Short Panthers Jersey , disrupting QB timing, or forcing him to make an error such as an interception or fumble. The blitz gets its name from the Blitzkrieg, a German strategy of the "Lightning War" during World War II. In World War One, most of the battles were fought in trenches. Both sides fortified their trenches heavily, and ended up taking heavy casualties while gaining little ground. Ironically after World War One, the British devised a new strategy. The strategy was first put forward by Colonel John Fuller, the chief of staff of the British Tank Corps. Fuller was disappointed with the way tanks were used during the First World War and afterwards produced Plan 1919. This included a call for long-range mass tank attacks with strong air Trai Turner Panthers Jersey , motorized infantry, and artillery support. These ideas were developed in more detail in his books, Reformation of War (1923) and Foundation of the Science of War (1926). The British Army ignored Fuller's ideas. However, leaders of the rebuilding German Army studied Fuller's ideas in detail. They asked the government to commission the production of new tanks that would enable them to use Blitzkrieg tactics in any future conflicts The Germans called the Fuller plan Blitzkreig or Lightning War. After Adolf Hitler obtained power in 1933, the German government was open about its tank production. In the spring of 1934 the German Army began developing the Panzer tank. Over the next few years the Panzer I, Panzer II, Panzer III and Panzer IV were produced. During the invasion of Poland in September Ryan Kalil Panthers Jersey , 1939, it became clear that the outstanding performer was the Panzer IV as it had the perfect combination of speed, agility, firepower and reliability. Over the next few years it became the backbone of Blitzkrieg and over 9,000 of these tanks were produced. The success of the Blitzkreig was overwhelming. The Germans finished off Poland in six weeks. It was now France's turn. On May 10, the blitzkrieg rolled through the Ardennes. In three weeks, the British had to evacuate their entire army at Dunquerque. By mid-June Jonathan Stewart Panthers Jersey , France had surrendered. The Germans held a victory parade through the Arc De Triumph, something that the French still remember to this day in 2007. Sir Winston Churchill made a speech. "The Battle of France is over. The Battle of Britain has begun." The German aerial attacks over England would now be simply called, "The Blitz." Beginning in August 1940, German bombers visited England every day. By September, the Blitz had failed. The Royal Air Force (RAF) proved it could win over the Luftwaffe. The Blitz went into night attacks. From September until June 1941, the Luftwaffe visited London from sundown to sunup with incendiary bombs and high explosive weapons. By July 1941, the Blitz had ended. The Luftwaffe was needed to go fight the Soviets. It would now be up to the Soviets to stop the Blitzkreig. However Greg Olsen Panthers Jersey , the Blitz did return to England when the momentum of World War II was on the side of the Allies. It came in the form of the buzz bomb. In June 1944 the first flying bombs fell on London. They were usually called 'buzz-bombs' or 'doodle-bugs'. At first only one or two fell, but soon it became obvious that a regular bombardment was under way. Th. |
