About

Well, I've returned to sportswriting after a few years hiatus, and after looking at some of my older work (done when I was about 15-16) I hope I can do much better. Over the past year or so I have come to embrace the sabermetric side of baseball, which has really freed my mind and changed my thinking about the game that I love so much. Having said that, actually playing the game is one of my greatest pleasures, and I am fortunate to have that in my life.
Sadly I am cut off from Mariners tv broadcasts here in Victoria, though I do enjoy watching the Blue Jays attempt to take down my hated rival team, the Red Sox. I hope to contribute what I can to the Mariners blogosphere, in the hopes that my fellow Mariners fans will be more enlightened about our game.

    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.
