About Clinton »

First and foremost, I'm a fan. Sport is quite possibly the most exciting part of life and what better way to get people to know that than by writing about it. The struggle is to make it enjoyable for the reader.

I'm here to refine my skills while on my way to the bigtime. I'm not sure where the bigtime is, but I want to get there.

The U.S. Men's Soccer Team is my first love. I can't think of anything more rewarding than seeing my country beat another. I struggle with friends who like other countries like Brazil or Spain simply because they are the best in the world.

If the United States can dominate baseball, football, and basketball, why not soccer? It can happen.
Aside from soccer, baseball is my passion, football is great, and basketball is fun - especially when the U.S. beat Spain in the Olympics.

I am proud to say I have been published by Fox Sports. Here is the link:

I recently created my own website. It covers all my interests in the sports world. Please visit.

Take a look at my latest article on the Dodgers looking to fill the missing hole in their rotation.

Hey Clinton,

Decided to start doing weekly MLB Power Rankings. If you get the chance, I'd like it if you took a look. Thanks.

Clinton,

The first of a two-part reaction to the US' poor recent form.

Bocanegra would be great at left back. He's probably our most poised defender, and I don't think that Bradley is foolish enough to put Beasley back there again...we'll see, though!

Hey,

Today I look back at one of the modern comeback stories that has touched fans of all kinds. This story is about a modern day marvel who had a bright future, only to be setback by abuse of his body. This comeback story of Josh Hamilton himself describes why, nobody is perferct.

Enjoy

Clinton,

Was your team one of the many who failed to make the playoffs in 2008? Here's six teams that will bounce back in 09'. Let me know what you think.

I don't know you that well. But, would you be willing to join my website? You'd be the Rangers beat writer if you join. You literally wouldn't have to do a thing, I'd just post articles when you write them. Tell me if you're interested!

-Thanks,
Isaac

It's worth it. I was at the last US/Mexico game in Columbus and it was an unforgettable experience. If I end up getting tickets, I'll let you know.

If it's in Columbus, I'll try my hardest to get there, but it'll be difficult with classes and whatnot. Are you going?
