Anthony's Bio

My name is Anthony Masterson and I'm unfortunately too old to still be in Menudo. Though that hasn't stopped my lifelong dream of boy-band world domination, I'm taking some time off to do some odd jobs, namely burning the midnight oil as an employee in Minor League baseball.

I recently moved to Woodbridge, Virginia to become the new radio play by play man for the Potomac Nationals, the Single A affiliate of the Washington Nationals, so although I'm no longer breathing that fresh, clean Rocky Mountain air, I'll still be able to contribute regularly. I'm also the co-Community Leader here on Bleacher Report for the Colorado Rockies, so I'm always ready to talk Rockies.

Drop me a few comments on things you like, things you frickin' hate, things that make you wish you were Al Davis' personal assistant, and most importantly things that arouse any kind of emotion pertaining to the Rocky Mountain sports scene. Go Broncos.

I wrote about the Rockies on a Marlins perspective. I talked about the Marlins' frustration of not gaining ground, and I credited the Rockies for it. I also talked about how good the Rockies are.

Get ready for another Rocktober.

Former MLB player Eric Karros called my article into question on Colin Cowherd's ESPN Radio show yesterday.

He challenged me for a re-do: but here's my response.

I assure you, it's not just a ridiculous personal attack, but it shows that Karros was off-base with his statements.

Hey Anthony,

I'm a Featured Columnist for the Indians here on Bleacher, and I'm polling the FCs from other MLB teams for an upcoming article on what went wrong with the 2009 Indians from an outsider's perspective.

Your participation in a brief survey for the article would be greatly appreciated.

Here is the link to the survey:

I haven't heard anything from David, but if you are still interested (and have the time) I have no problem doing stuff late at night.

If you want to pick a night or something, we can both come up with some topics and go at it... maybe even pot a link to the full text.

Let me know what you think,
