Hey Sam,
Long time no talk. I was unable to write for a while, but now I'm slowly getting back into it.
Check out my Ode to the Gatorade Dispenser in the Cubs Dugout.

Hey Sam-
Hope you'll get another article up here soon. Miss reading your stuff.
I remember that reading your "press box" story helped me realize what was possible at B/R. Here's my own rundown of the most recent amazing adventure:

Hey Sam,
With Valentine's Day coming up, I thought it would be fun to take a look at some of the most entertaining sports couples of today. If you have some time, I'd love for you to take a look at it.
I really had fun writing it, so I hope you'll enjoy reading it!
Thanks,

To be honest I don't really read the papers too often. They are both more Yankee biased. I get my news from the radio most of the time, or on the shows that they have on the Mets network SNY. If I had to pick though, I'd say that the post is better for sports news. If you want to listen to a good NY radio program go to WFAN.com and check out the "Evan and Roberts" show from 10:00 to 2:00 one day, they are both huge mets fans and I love to listen to them. Or even better Steve Somers is on at night and he's a big mets fan too and a really funny guy to listen to. I'm pretty sure you can listen to them both live on the internet, so check them out one day as baseball season gets closer if you're bored.
