About

    Monica,
    You were the first person to ever edit an article of mine on B/R. I noted you were a Pirates fan and never forgot that. After browsing my archives I found the article you edited which led me to your page. Anyway, I recently wrote the following article you may want to read:

    Recent trades should have pirate fans rethinking McLouth outrage
    http://bleacherreport.com/articles/197575-recent-trades-should-have-pirate-fans-rethinking-mclouth-outrage

    Let me know what you think of it.

    it has a lot of early Pirates memories on my behalf when I was growing up (and they were good) was well as current times and 2 recent trades the team made in 2008 under new GM Hunnington. While I get tired of the "long-term goal" rhetoric I liked each deal I describe at the time and it looks like he knowsn what he's doing even if he does have to keep going back through the media and spinning his moves in order to justify them to an always-angry fanbase.

    One of my basic theories is Penn State is a boring Big Ten basketball school living in Big East country. What top recruit from the Northeast would want to play boring Big Ten basketball when they could play in the Big East?

    Hmmm this conversation about Penn State has reminded me about an idea I had that I never wrote about. I've been meaning to pen a piece about whether PSU will ever be relevant in college basketball.

    Never actually been to Penn State. I always had a hatred for the school. I plan on coming down for the Syracuse-PSU football game to cover it.

    And your logic about Chase Utley is valid.

    I'm in PA ALLLL summer unfortunately. May take a trip to NYC or Syracuse this summer, but I'm here til August unfortunately. After graduation, I've been mulling the idea of picking up and going to LA, try to cover UCLA basketball, and try to land a job with Fox, CBS, or ESPN who all have headquarters out there.

    I've got friends who have been Denver, always seemed like a nice place.
