Ronky The Monster Of Lake Ronkonkoma New York

It was a Sunday in Summer of 2009 went I first saw Ronky with my own eyes. I had heard stories of Ronky here and there, They had come to me in Whispers really.The History of Ronky has been a well kept secret for Hundreds maybe Thousands of years. I had spent weeks watching this lake in Lake Ronkonkoma on Long Island in New York State. This day I was driving around going past one of the many Parks and Beaches around the lake. While I was going North on Lake Shore Road I saw something in the water out of the corner of my eye, but after weeks of watching this lake I thought it was just someone out on another blow up raft and didn’t really think much of it !

As I was passing the Dinning Hall “Windows on the Lake” there is an opening where Guests can get a good look at the lake. I looked over and I saw what I had though to be a raft a few seconds before was the creature. I though to myself this could just be another hoax! After years of searches and hunts leading to nothing but dead ends I was not going to get my hopes up to fast. I slowed down and watched as the Creature swam around the lake enjoying itself! I was a little scared but at the same time I could not stop myself from smiling thinking this was really it!

I drove around the lake following along with “Ronky” at some point I pulled into a parking lot and walked onto one of the beaches. I slowly got my Camera out fearing as soon as I went to take the picture the creature would disappear. I snapped a shot, checked it in the review mode of the Camera and I could not believe I had captured a perfect shot of the Creature that no one could dispute the authenticity of ! When I looked back at the Lake Ronky was gone.

Over the next few days I carefully started asking the locals in the area if they had ever seen something weird in the Lake? It seems that to everyone in Lake Ronkonkoma Ronky is well known. He is not a myth or urban legend here. He is just another Member of the Village! I have been told there are two Differences between Nessie in Scotland’s Loch ness and Ronky in New York’s Lake Ronkonkoma. One Ronky is real and Two Ronky is protected by the Locals and his name is not defiled for tourist money.

There are many stories of Ronky that go back Hundreds of years. The one I found most interesting was a story that happened about 15 years ago. It seems there was an expedition sent to look into and map the depths and some underwater streams under Lake Ronkonkoma. This expedition never happened. The Official Story given was the expedition ran out of Money and was going to come back when they got more funds. I was told by an old time resident that wishes her Identity to remain a secret that the real story is a group called the “Keepers of the Lake” told the expiation in no uncertain terms it would be in their best interested for them to leave and not come back!!!

The people of Lake Ronkonkoma have kept this Monster Ronky loved and Protected for many years! I respect and sympathize with them,but I have spent my adult life and most of my families fortune searching for a creature like Ronky.This is my job and I must share this with the world. I have received many threats not to print this story! I have posted it here to go out to these newsgroups if I do not reset the settings at least once a week. If you are reading this there is a good chance something has happen to me. Please do not let what I have spent my life hunting for go unheard of ! Ronky is there in that Lake!

The Boston Red Sox came into the four game series against the New York Yankees just 2.5 GB of first place in the AL East. This was a crucial series for both teams; the Yankees were 0-8 against the Sox this year and desperately needed a series victory in order to gain momentum in the AL East race and to prove they could beat the Sox. The Sox, on the other hand, needed a series victory in order to cut the gap between these two teams and to end their current slide.

Boston came in hoping for the best and got the worst. Swept by the Yankees, shut out twice, and more pitching woes for the Sox.

The Yankees showed the baseball world that they are officially the favorites to win the AL East. The Red Sox, on the other hand, are struggling just to stay in the playoff race. Now 6.5 GB of the Yankees with less than two months left to play, they will most likely need to win the Wild Card in order to get into the playoffs. But that won’t come easily, either. The Sox are currently tied with the Rangers in the Wild Card race at 62-48, and the Rays have quietly remained 1.5 GB.

Boston did nothing that it needed to do during its weekend series in New York. Twice, the team failed to score a run in a game. The hitting, however, is less of a concern than the team’s pitching may be.

Now, with Wakefield and Dice-K on the DL, Buchholz struggling, and Smoltz being designated for assignment (after eight dismal starts), the Sox need some immediate pitching help. If they don’t get any, they might not even make it to the playoffs.

In other baseball news, the Washington Nationals have been on fire lately! And yes, that means more than two wins in a row. In fact, the Nationals have won eight straight games! They’ve also gone 12-4 since July 25, the best record out of all MLB teams in that span. Too bad they still sport the worst record in the majors, but at 40-72, they are improving, at least. They’ve gotten excellent hitting out of their lineup, especially from Adam Dunn and Ryan Zimmerman, and they’ve averaged 7.06 runs per game since July 25, also the most in the majors.

Much of their success should be credited to their bullpen. More specifically, Mike MacDougal has stepped up as a reliable closer in a role that no Washington pitcher seemed to take well to before this. His presence in the bullpen has been key in winning the team games.

My final MLB news of the day is centered around Arizona Diamondbacks’ Mark Reynolds. Reynolds has been the hottest player in baseball lately. In the past ten days, he’s raised his BA from .275 to .290, and he has 8 HR’s, 12 RBI’s, and 2 SB’s. This kind of stat line is exceptional. Of course, he did singlehandedly beat me in fantasy baseball this week, which somewhat dampens his performance in my eyes.
