About Brenden »

Co-Creator of www.SmokingwithHank.wordpress.com

I'll put it this way: My girlfriend got mad at me because on facebook I listed sports ahead of her on my interests page.
I am a Senior Mass Communications Major at SUNY Oneonta and would love to do anything that involves the media and sports when I graduate this December

Hey Breden

Jim Rice lumped Derek Jeter with Manny Ramirez and Alex Rodriguez as bad role models. What the heck?

The Yankees have put together an unbelievable streak of magical wins, but is Yankee Stadium and its short right field porch New York’s “magic wand?” Can sitting back and waiting for a solo HR really translate to October success?

Thanks in advance! I would love to hear your feedback and comments. Take care.

Hey Brenden,

The new Yankee Stadium had been criticized for its lack of intensity and electricity in the early months of the season, but this weekend’s series against the Red Sox finally make a familiar place seem like HOME.

http://bleacherreport.com/articles/233643-yankees-turn-familiar-confines-address-of-yankee-stadium-into-home

Thanks in advance, and I would look to hear your opinions and feedback. Take care.

Take a look. I'd appreciate any feedback.
