Dylan's Bio

I have an odd attachment to Major League Baseball teams that suck including the Pirates, Royals, Reds and the Nationals. Hey, I guess I just like the underdogs.

Hey Dylan,

The All Star game isn't until July, but if it were to happen now, who would the starters be? A lot could change between now and then, but I'd like to recognize some of the top performers in the early goings. I'd love to hear your opinion on my choices, thanks a lot.

The Phillies and Mets are behind in the NL East, do you think that the Washington Nationals are the reason?

Hey Dylan,

I really like your writing and I was wondering if you wanted to join this site I recently created two weeks ago called www.TheSportingTruth.com. I'm still working on getting a better logo. But the site looks really good right now.

If your interested just let me know and I'll send the details to you.

Thanks,

I just put together a marathon of a slide show devoted to the Cubs I think you'll get a kick out of. I don't get too excited about much that I do on here, but I'm pretty proud of this one. Let me know what you think:

Your Texeira/Yanks piece is right on...

We should swap BB cards sometime. I still have mine from '63-'80...like 100,000+ of 'em. I got into the '50's sets back in the mid '80's but dropped out when prices became investments rather than fun.

I'm not sure Dylan. Other than my rating, I have no control over putting a certain article on a certain page. The best idea would be to not rate it and rate ones that are good. It can be frustrating sometimes to see that stuff.

The higher the rating you have, the more influence you have when you rate an article. At least that's my understanding. The system has really been tweaked numerous times since I've been here, and I'd have to say they've found a pretty solid formula to get the best articles up on the most prominent pages. It's up to us to use our best judgment.

Any other questions Dylan, let me know. Always here to help.

Like I said, you're free to override that guideline. If I was not employed by B/R and it was my story, I might be inclined to do so.

I'm just seeing this message now at the end of my shift, but I'll stop by next time the queue is running thin. Have a good weekend,

Thanks for your fanship! I just read some of your articles and was very impressed ... I'm becoming a fan as well! keep up the good work! BTW, even though I have no ties to the region, I've been a Royals fan since I was a kid ... the World Series victory over the Cardinals in '85 is still one of the highlights of my "baseball life".
