Josh's Bio

I am currently a sophomore at American university majoring in political science. But don't let the politics fool you, baseball is my first love. I am interested in everything about baseball from the front office to the field. I am a die hard Mets fan, which in recent years has been a recipe for pain and agony. But...Ya Gotta Believe...right? I have been hooked every since the days of Butch Huskey and Todd Hundley and the passion has grown ever since.

I hope to bring you the insightful and candid baseball content with an added Mets twist. Enjoy!

The NY Yankees and the media are trying to manipulate you.

Yankee propaganda must be exposed as lies and crushed before it can spread any further.

Looking for a good laugh?

NY Yankee pitcher Joba Chamberlain is a ridiculous, clown pig who people laugh at!

Now sit back, relax, and mock this miserable lump of human pork as you watch my slideshow:

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.

Hey, this is a article that I'm particularly proud of, and I think you will enjoy it. It looks at some of the strangest injuries to ever occur in baseball history, there certainly are some strange ones.

http://bleacherreport.com/articles/242705-five-strangest-injuries-in-baseball-history

As always any feedback/support would be appreciate, and would like to get this article around BR, so if you could tell a friend who might tell a friend. Then that would be really appreciated.

Thanks in advance
