About

A Los Angeles born hard core fan who has been based in LA, Orange and San Diego counties. Dabbled in radio while in college, now helping folks real estate wise in the Glendale-Burbank part of Los Angeles.

Avid follower of the major team sports: baseball, football, hockey, soccer and hoops.

Have the greatest appreciation for a collection of individuals who are able to put their personal concerns aside to achieve a team goal.

Philosophies in sport:
1- Offense scores points, defense wins games.
2- Don't talk (crap) before you putt.
3- Don't worry about the horse being blind, just load the wagon.
4- If you want to smell the roses, you gotta deal with the thorns.
5- Baseball is Life, Football is Passion

    As a passionate baseball fan, I figured you would be the best person to consult for any reaction or feedback on my piece laying out my predictions and assessments of the 2010 MLB playoffs.

    J.C..........Thanks for the compliment.I am also a fan of your prose and passion for your Dodgers. Sorry about the current state. Looks like your boys are going to mail it in until the ownership issue is resolved in the off season.MLB better quit dragging their feet on this one or all of baseball suffers the limbo wherein your Dodgers currently exist.

    Giants could be the thorn in the side of trolley-dodgers in 2010. Bay area boys are stalking the playoffs this season.
