About Ben »

I love baseball. I've been playing for close to 10 years now and I am going into grade 12 of high school. I love the mental aspect of the game, and I've recently become very interested in stats. I always seem to impress people with my knowledge of the game so I thought this would fit me well. I also like to create disscusions in my articles so feel free to voice your agreement or dissagreement, just know that i've got a competitive nature so i'll defend my opinion, so be ready for me.

Rich Harden, Felix Hernandez, Tim Lincecum, Edgar Martinez

I said more important not better, if you can't relize those words you shouldn't be commenting on my articles.

I know they had it on their clothes but God WASN'T on their side.

Did I say I was better than everyone else? No, stop making up things I didn't say.

Yes I have. Do they have proof? No they don't. I do, I do indeed. But because I can't fully describe it to you you would have to talk to a mentor of mine or a pastor who's a little more knowledgable in that area.

Heres one GREAT reason, the Bible.
I don't hate gay people i just hate the behavior and decision, theres a difference. Obama is most definaetly a socialist, and i never mentioned Hitler or Mussolini.
Obama wants to get rid of christian talk show radios, theres a group he's attacking. I'll take Obama on, he can throw me a bone and i'll through it out. Obama is a socialist.

ok, abortion is the killing of babies. why do you have the decision to kill some innocent life who hasn't had a chane to live.

gay marriage is 100% immoral and marriage is strictly man and wife.

Obama is a socialist. by definition socialism is the distributing of the wealth. He is going to be taxing the rich immensley and is giving all kinds of benefits to the poor.

Have you seen Obamas pastor? I don't want him to be my presidents mentor and friend.

There are so many people voting for Obama, they are making an uninformed and unintelligiant decision.

you have to realize i hate mccain and obama so its like choosing if i would rather get hung or shot.

Morse? he's outfield. i think we should pick giambi or lyle up for a two year deal but use them 2/3 of the time and give lahair that other time.

No one in the O's clubhouse misses Bedard...cancer. Ship him to the Jays, they've got some goods and they think they'll be a winner next year...suckers.

OK, the M's had a miserable season, I'm an Oriole fan...we have to take what we get under the circumstances.

What Ichiro has accomplished is amazing, simply amazing. When the M's come to Balmer I never miss a game because I can sneak down from 368 and watch this amazing man do amazing things with a stick of wood that very, very few could ever do. Enjoy him while you can Ben.

(So sorry about the Bedard deal...but thanks in advance!)
