Rebuilding A Nation: BoSox in 2010
11/06/2009
I'm currently a Liberal Arts and Sciences major at Mount Wachusett Community College. I'm hoping to transfer in the next year or two to a 4-year college with a good Communications program so I can build towards a career as a journalist of some sort.
I'm a born and bred Boston sports fan, but have developed a lot of respect for Baseball, Football, and Basketball as a whole. Hockey is something I'll be working on getting myself back into now that the Bruins are worth watching. I pride myself on my ability to be as objective as possible when it comes to looking at players and teams that years ago I would've had a unfounded hatred for (Yes. I'm trying to say I don't hate the Yankees as much as I used to, It's hard for me, okay?)
My favorite sports writers are Peter Gammons, Skip Bayliss, Tim Kurkjian, and Bustor Olney. I'm hoping with my horizons reaching a bit further than Baseball that I'll add some football and basketball writers (Although Skip is mainly here for his Basketball articles) in the near future.
(Note: I am finally BACK after a much needed 4 month break. Baseball season may be over, but we've still got an offseason to discuss. Who knows, maybe I'll try my hand in Football and Basketball this season too...)
My latest article is about the evolution of a quiet kid from Spokane to a man on a mission in the Cubs minor league system. I hope you enjoy reading it as much I did writing it.

Hey,
The turmoil surrounding the 1977 Yankees earned them the nickname of “The Bronx Zoo.” The current 2009 Yankees have an interesting blend of leaders and pranksters, so I decided to create a LITERAL “zoo.”
Check out what animal each Yankee would be reincarnated as in a next life.

Hey,
It’s been a very long time since I have extended an article of mine to the Bulletin Boards of my friends/fans, but this one is filled with the true venom and passion of a frustrated Yankees fan. The days of consistent success are over, and this baseball lifer is blaming Brian Cashman. Read how he has displayed the baseball knowledge of a little leaguer in assembling Yankee teams of the last 7 years.

I would love to hear your feedback on this one. Thanks everyone!

Hey,
Read about a metaphoric but also personalized tale about a cocky Yankees fan realizing the harsh realities and lessons of professional athletics. I would love to hear your opinions.

Hey,
The Yankees have been putrid against Boston this year, especially over a 3-game sweep in Fenway Park. They are returning to the scene of the crime tonight, and this slideshow highlights 5 major reasons why this time around could be very different:

Hey Blaise,
Wanted to stop by and thank you for becoming a fan of my work. I hope to entertain you many more times in the future, and maybe I can continue the trend of you "not hating the Yankees as much as you used to" haha. Talk to you soon buddy.
