Forrest,

Last night, Scott Kazmir was traded to the LA Angels to help bolster their rotation for the final month of the season. Using some good ol' fashioned math I weigh in on why I think it's a bad idea. As always feedback is greatly appreciated.

Hi Forrest
I think MLB needs to revamp their structure and their schedule. What do you think?

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.

Hello,

Hope you are having a nice day. I know I am.

During yesterday's preseason game between the Vikings and the Chiefs, when Tarvaris Jackson stepped in for Brett Favre doing the game, he received many boos from the crowd. It brings me to something, why are people hating on Tarvaris Jackson? My case for T-Jack:

I hope you enjoy.

I have time check your articles noted on my BB.

Comments would greatly be appreciate because I would love any feedback on my articles.

All the best,
Josh Dhani

Hey Forrest

Jim Rice lumped Derek Jeter with Manny Ramirez and Alex Rodriguez as bad role models. What the heck?

Thanks for becoming a fan. The BR is changing it's course and direction in the past few weeks. I'm not sure what to think about it now but I have some serious concerns. My biggest posting so far has been my "Anatomy of a Franchise" series. I'd love to have some feed back on it, so if you get a chance go catch up on it. It's about halfway completed.
