About

I have thought for a while now that I must be the biggest Rockies fan in the Northwest. Real Rockies fans are few and far between, but we're out there, and we're passionate. I am currently serving as an intern for the Salem-Keizer Volcanoes, a single-A affiliate of the San Francisco Giants. I grew up in Colorado, moved to Oregon to go to school, and am now searching for a long-term job in baseball. I play golf when I can, like to run at least a few times a week, and like to drink Busch Light in my free time. I have estimated that I spend upwards of 14 hours a day thinking about baseball. That's probably too much.

    Huston Street was the man coming out of college. Now he's back to doing big things with the Rockies. If you have a moment, please check out my column.

    Former MLB player Eric Karros called my article into question on Colin Cowherd's ESPN Radio show yesterday.

    He challenged me for a re-do: but here's my response.

    I assure you, it's not just a ridiculous personal attack, but it shows that Karros was off-base with his statements.

    Uh oh. This guy might write about the Rockies better than you do, at least in this article. He might be your long lost twin bro based on what I gather.
