Robert's Bio

I am a loyal Cubs fan who moved back to Chicago (finally) this year. I am currently attending Depaul University. I have a wonderful girlfriend named Amanda that I love more than anything in the world.

In my opinion, Cubs NEED these wins in Houston before we head into interleague: http://bleacherreport.com/articles/195857-cubs-need-wins-in-houston-to-keep-pace-before-interleague-play

Hey Robert,

Ryan Zimmerman’s hit streak halted at 30 games last night. As one streak ends, another is admired. Read about how Joe DiMaggio forever redefined ’56,’ and how his feat may never be broken. It is a record that thankfully cannot be broken through steroid use, and represents all that was once right in a game that has since gone so wrong.

Thanks in advance!

Hey Robert,

Lou Gehrig has somehow been forgotten amongst the game’s immortals, even though he was possibly even more of a reason for the success of Ruth’s 1927 Yankees. Read about the quiet, forgotten leader of “Murderer’s Row,” Henry Lou Gehrig.

Thanks in advance!

Thanks for the comment you left me. I just read your Fontenot spot, and you're a good writer. And who doesn't love Fontenot? Or the Cajun Connection all together. They win at every level. Let's hope they find the same success in the Bigs.
