FenWest's Bio

NOTE: I'm finally back, after two months in South America far from internet, follwed by two months with a shattered bone in my left hand making typing a literal pain. Much thanks to Eric Annett for holding down the fort as a lone CL, and I'm looking forward to being a regular here once more.
------------------------------------

Formerly of Hingham and Cambridge, Mass, I now live in the Bay area and divide my time between research, teaching, and watching too much baseball for my own good. I'm both a Red Sox fanatic and an archaeologist: that's _got_ to qualify as 'dirt dog' right?

Looking for a good laugh?

NY Yankee pitcher Joba Chamberlain is a ridiculous, clown pig who people laugh at!

Now sit back, relax, and mock this miserable lump of human pork as you watch my slideshow:

Fenwest,

Seems it's been awhile since I've written a piece, and in my latest work I take a look at the possible new addition as well as a familiar face set to join the Red Sox in the very near future. As always, feedback is greatly appreciated.

Fenwest,

The Red Sox have been miserly lately. The pitching has been bad, but the offense has been worse. Theo needs to do something by 4 o'clock tomorrow. As always, feedback is appreciated.

Hey,
I think you'll like this article about not only Brady vs. Peyton, but also about the Patriots' offensive unit as a whole!

I would love for you to read and comment.

Fenwest,

As good as the Red Sox pitching has been, Smoltz, Penny, and Matsuzaka have combined to be one gigantic headache. Check it out, and as always feedback is appreciated.
