About Dave »

I'm a CMU student who absolutely loves sports, especially baseball, hockey and football. I'll watch any MLB or NHL game that is on, and usually have a couple guys on each team that I like to see. You will mostly see me write about the MLB but I am also quite knowledgeable about the NHL.

For the summer I will be between Mt. Pleasant and home in Jackson where I don't have a computer, so my writing will be more sporadic than I would like.

Hey Dave,

I'm writing articles about the MLB 9s and thought you'd be interested in the Detroit Tigers' piece.

Any feedback or thoughts would be appreciated.

Cheers,

Hey Dave,

Kevin Youkilis set a terrible example for children and was wrong in charging a rookie pitcher.

Hey Dave,

I'm a Featured Columnist for the Indians here on Bleacher, and I'm polling the FCs from other MLB teams for an upcoming article on what went wrong with the 2009 Indians from an outsider's perspective.

Your participation in a brief survey for the article would be greatly appreciated.

Here is the link to the survey:

The deadline for the survey is Sunday August 2.

I look forward to reading your opinions!

Thanks!
