About

For over 50 years now, I have been waging battle after battle in order to find my inner peace, and now I have the opportunity to share my experiences with you, the readers. Well, wait, that's not entirely true. I have had some challenges, but you REALLY don't want to hear about them. So, instead, I'll regale you with stories about sports that hopefully will give you pause to think, "Wow, this dude really needs to find a day job."
If you really dig pain, you can follow me on Twitter, @Sports_A_Holic, and you can join my Facebook page as well!

  • Most Memorable Game Attended

    My last game in Little League.

    Your article on Fenway today was great entertainment for a longtime Sox fan from the midwest who has never been to Lansdowne Street.

    Hey Doug, they gave tickets away for 3 years and counted those as sellouts. Crooks are what they are and they should lose their franchise!

    May I ask you a questions, I was wondering how you came to place the red's beneath the brewers and the Cardinals, I think you're selling the Red's a little short, and I don't believe the brewers are in contention Lohshe or not, and I simply believe the Red's are just better than the cardinals. the Red front 7 are all beast I mean how can you not love 1. Choo, 2. Phillips, 3. Votto 4. Bruce 5. Ludwick 6 Frazier (had a better season than Harper and should of won the NLROY) 7. Hannigan, than our 5 starters are some of the best, Cueto came close to the cy young, Mat Latos had one of his best seasons ever, and Homer Bailey finally had his breakout season. You simply can't forget we have the absolute best Bullpen in the league except maybe the Braves, but it is solidified with Aroldis going back to the pen, who I believe is the leagues best closer, edging out Kimbrel just by a little bit. I'm sorry for hassling you, I just want to see your reasoning behind your choice.

    Your no building block prospect analysis for the Yankees fell short of abysmal. You lost all baseball credibility--like many writers on this site. Stick to writing about other things, leave prospects to Mike Rosenbaum. He is the only one who seems to have a handle on things around here. The fact you have guys like C.J Cron and J.R Graham up, and left off Mason Williams, Tyler Austin, or Gary Sanchez is embarrassing. Keep your lack of baseball knowledge to yourself, stop sharing it with the rest of us.
