Andrew's Bio

I am in my junior year at Yale University, where I write and edit sports for the Yale Herald, the school's weekly paper.

As my picture shows, I used to play sports in high school: I played basketball and baseball. I like to think of myself as "retired."

I've lived in New York City all my life, but for some inexplicable reason my dad was a huge Pittsburgh Pirate fan when I was growing up, and now I am too. I have New York Jets season tickets and am also a big Knicks and Rangers fan. My dad also brought me up as a big Tennessee Volunteers fan, and after watching almost every game of the 2006 World Cup I have adopted soccer as my fifth sport and am an ardent Liverpool supporter.

I am always open to any feedback you have regarding any of my articles, or anything you would like to discuss at all. I am also the Pirates Community Leader on Bleacher Report, so feel free to contact me if you have any questions about the team or want to discuss article ideas.

    The Orioles have some pitching problems. Their pitching rotation could be called the worst in the league, but has some potential. Who makes the Opening Day roster? PLEASE comment or read.

    Brooks Robinson is a baseball legend. He hit 268 homers and won 16 Gold Gloves. But what's his story. I got it for ya.

    Thanks. I've enjoyed this site a lot since I came on. I actually had a blog going with Nick DeWitt. It never really got any views going, and he told me about this site. I plan on doing a spring training feature tomorrow with a focus on the Pirates. We'll see how it goes. I tried to write a few things today, but after the start of them my focus was gone and the article was a jumbled mess.

    Keep pumpin out the articles. I enjoy reading your stuff.

    Andrew-

    Thanks for your insight on my "College Basketball Power Rankings," and I think your argument about UCLA vs. Wake Forest is an interesting one.

    I've seen both teams play several times this year, and I'll be honest Wake Forest is unquestionably the more talented team. But they also have two major WTF losses at Georgia Tech and at Miami by 27!?!?! My question to you is this, if the two played on a neutral court, who do you honestly think would win. I think UCLA would. Again do I think they're more talented, athletic or skilled, no. But that doesn't mean that right now, on February 10, 2009 they're not the better team.

    So that's my input on that. I post the College Basketball Power Rankings every Monday or Tuesday, so please always feel free to let me know what you think. Also, if you get a minute, I have my own website, www.aarontorres-sports.com, where I list all my thoughts on sports. Please feel free to check it out whenever you get a minute. I'm always looking for feedback.

    Regardless, thanks for checking out the Power Rankings, and let me know what you think otherwise.

    Please comment with who you think should and shouldn't be there, it should be a good debate!

    No problem, my friend. Even more appreciated to see a writer using em-dashes on his own. Keep up the good work.
