  1. Your last two "articles" are exactly why I left Bleacher Report...completely laughable.

  2. Sorry about slaming your Pete Rose article, but it was about the weakest argument made against a man who would have been in the HOF 17 years ago...had he not done himself in.

    Respectfully, your ignorance in this department doesn't speak well for UMass, either.

  3. your pete rose article is absolutely ridiculous, how can you seriously publish that and make an argument that he doesn't have HOF numbers?

    At least respond to comments if you make an outlandish, laughable argument

  4. I assure you this is the first link that I've posted on someone else's bulletin board... just wanted to let you know you're not the only ichiro-basher around, and I live in Seattle.

  5. I thought I'd get my 2 cents in. Your comments will be appreciated. http://bleacherreport.com/articles/226165-omar-minaya-chance-for-redemption

  6. Hey,

    I just came up with the list of the best current Major Leaguers wearing the numbers One thru Ten. I hope you can take a look and voice your opinion on my list. Thanks in advance,

  7. Hey Jake,

    I wrote a piece in May highlighting the position players that I thought should make the all star team. I started a 2-part follow up piece today focusing on starting pitchers. I started with AL. If you get the chance, I'd appreciate it if you took a look at it. Thanks

  8. Please read my article about A-Rod's perfect brand new name.

    I'd appreciate it if you'd leave a comment.

    Thanks.

  9. Jake, i just read and edited your article on Elijah Dukes. while i don't agree with your tone in general, the biggest exception i have to take is with the accusations you fabricated. Dukes has done lots of bad things in his life, but he has NEVER been charged or even accused of rape. that is a VERY bad accusation to casually throw around, and i took them out of your story.

    if you have links to articles citing facts that back up your accusations, feel free to re-work your story and include the quotes and links. but to the best of my knowledge, and i'm a credentialled beat reporter for the team, Dukes has never been accused of rape.

  10. Jake, I thought you were a cool guy because you liked the Rays, then I saw that you also graduated from UMass. So that just solidifies my hunch. I graduated from UMass with a degree in Fire Science. Anyway, keep writing dude, and Go Rays!!! Chuck
