2009 Oakland Athletics Preview
04/05/2009
To get straight to the point, I am obviously a sports fan. I grew up mostly in the East Bay in California, but have lived in 7 different states.
I have always been loyal to my "hometown" teams i was raised with, but I am fairly open-minded and don't consider myself to be a "homer".
I like to incorporate my sense of humor into my articles, occasionally, which you may either like or dislike, but hey, it's just me.
If I vote for your article, I will not comment you and tell you I voted for you. Do not vote for me thinking it will get me to vote for you in the future. If an article is worthy I will vote for it, period.
I will take on most article assignments, but, tend to write better when I write from pure emotion. But, I will always give you my best effort.
I read many more articles than i comment on. I read most of the comments following articles.
I'm glad editors don't have to correct my bio. They'd be quite busy. If I could get my articles past them written this way, I'd probably try. With the way I write, they do a great job.
Hopefully, as I progress on B/R my articles continue to improve. I learn as much as I can reading other articles on here. In most cases I learn how to write better. Occasionally, I learn what not to do.
I will never tell someone they wrote a bad column. We are all here out of a passion and love for talking about whatever it is we love to talk about.
Why are you even reading this? I will stop now.
It has been a while, but I finally wrote another article. I hope you can take the time to read it. It is pretty short, but I hope you enjoy it.

Hi Greg! How's it going?
I’m still recovering from the shock of John Calipari leaving Memphis for Kentucky. I think it’s a good lesson for fans of all college basketball teams:
