About Andy »

My name is Andy Miller, I'm 18 years old and reside in the suburbs of Chicago. I'm hoping to be majoring in communications with a focus in journalism at Loras College this upcoming year.

I love writing about sports, mainly the Chicago Cubs. Some of my other favorite teams are the Bears, the Blackhawks, the Colorado Avalanche (I was born in Denver, that's the only Colorado team I care to pay attention to), and the Notre Dame Fighting Irish.

If you participate in fantasy baseball, then you should read my latest. It will help you in those difficult times when one of your hitters faces one of your pitchers. Thanks for checking it out.

Andy-
I had so many comments and suggestions of baseball players that the community members root for, it inspired me to do a brief follow-up article. Please check it out when you have a chance.

Andy - ever considered what a special year 2008 has been in Chicago?

http://bleacherreport.com/articles/93939-chicagos-year-of-the-rookie

We might have every team in the city put someone in the top 2 in Rookie of the Year voting in the same year! Wow....

My first baseball article, and it's about the Cubs!

I'd love your input, Andy.

Thanks for the dialogue re: Marquis. I wasn't necessarily hating the guy, but you & I agree there are better options for less money in house. I like that there is a conversation happening around a couple articles that is civil yet pointed... especially surrounding the Cubs.

Good luck in the snow tonite!

No problem about the edit. Yeah, I'm pretty sure he's alright. There really hasn't been any news except that it's his hamstring. I assume that if it was serious, we'd know by now. I'm sure they'll give a full summary of his injury at game time tonight.

Hey Andy, I am the Cubs community leader. I see you've written some Cubs stuff, which is great. We're always looking for additional Cubs talent. Keep writing and let me know if I can be of any help.
Also, commenting on other Cubs writer's articles is a great way to help build our community. Keep up the good work!
