In Honor of Greg Maddux and Fergie Jenkins, Cubs Will Retire No. 31
03/19/2009
I am a diehard Cubs fan, from South Bend Indiana (near Notre Dame). I am a college student studying communications, with a passion for journalism. I love sports in general, and I'm a tennis player. I am a soon to be college sophomore at Saint Mary's College, and I write for Notre Dame's newspaper and get to cover a lot of their sports. It's been a great experience covering Notre Dame, but my real passions are baseball and football. I have more than a few quirks about stats I keep track of especially when it comes to the Cubs. I guess when you live and die every year with them, you become superstitious and an eternal optimist, or in my case pessimist who dreads the worst. Go Cubs!
Kste,
Long time no talk, hope all is well. Imagine you're busy with school...
Well, 275 articles & I finally did a slideshow. It's something different, hope you enjoy it.

I just wrote this in tribute to the late Walter Payton, ten years after his passing...

I've managed to gather quite a bit of POTD votes so far, I hope I earn yours as well.

Hey Katelyn,
If you get the chance, I'd love for you to check out my recent analysis on Derrek Lee's batting woes. I take an interesting perspective on the issue and offer some possible solutions, and I'd appreciate your comments and feedback very much!

I sent you an invite to be one of the writers, I was also wondering if you could post maybe one original article per week plus whatever you post for B/R. If that is too much for you let me know, but it is just a little request.

What is your e-mail? I can have it set up so that you only need a Google account to post all of your articles.

Thanks! I'll start posting your articles again. Also, if you want, I can make you an editor so that you can directly post your articles.

Hey Katelyn, I'm bringing back the Daily Cub (I just know you are as excited as I am) and I'm trying to get everybody that was writing before back, let me know if you are still interested and I will put some of your articles on the site.

No problem, Katelyn, I certainly understand. School is obviously more important. I was thinking that maybe I had the wrong e-mail address, tho I used your "summer" address that you gave me. Anyway, I was just trying to get some roundtable things going but every time I tried I couldn't get one or two responses so nothing happened.
Let me know when (if) you ever have some time and I'll send out some questions.
Cheers!

DeleteIt's no problem. I'm won't be able to add you as an author until I get my bearings with the new website. The owners of SportsBlogNet.com moved all of the blogs to Word Press and off Blogger so I have to get accustomed to the new way of going about things and then I will try to send you an invite to be an author if I can, until then I can continue to just copy the posts over. Also, if you notice, I haven't really been writing much so don't worry about it, the site has mostly been posts from Bob Warja and Pat De Marco.
