Rockies-Braves: Marquis Tosses Gem Against Former Team
05/18/2009
I grew up in Texas (small town an hour east of Houston) and joined the Navy right out of high school. Been married to my wife, Susan, for 18+ years and we have four awesome kids.
I love to play, teach, watch, and talk golf! I'm partners with a good friend in a golf shop here in Greeley and I play about 60-65 rounds per year. It's one plus to my schedule at my regular job (power plant operator).
Above all, I love the Lord. My walk with God is of primary importance to me, and if any of you are open to hearing about that I would love to speak more with you.
Hey, Bob!

My analysis on who would be the better player to franchise around, the SDSU pitcher Stephen Strasburg, or the LVHS catcher, Bryce Harper.

Hey Bob,
People of my generation look at them fondly as the players they watched as little kids, people of other generations may just look at them as great players. I created a slide show highlighting the best players of the 1990's. If you get a chance, take a look, I'd appreciate it. Thanks.

Hey Bob,
There was a touching moment in the Mariners game last night, made possible by the best pitcher I've ever gotten to watch - Randy Johnson. Watching history unfold inspired to me take a look at his incredible career and count down his five best moments, in my eyes. If you get a chance, take a look at it, I'd appreciate it. Thanks a lot.

Ya she seemed really nice. I had fun with it. It was a lot easier covering a whole team like what the Trib wanted rather than what the Denver Post usually asks for. On day one they want me to basically predict who will go far in Nos. 2 or 3 singles and write a feature about them. It's doable, just a lot more difficult. You have to make sure they win their first match, then talk with them, write some of the article and pray they win their second match (even though, as a sports journalist, you can't root for anyone).

Hey Bob,
I wrote an article for them last week. I think it ran on the May 8. Check it out let me know what you think. It wasn't my best, but they just wanted something about the team.
Where at in Texas? I was born in Huntsville.

Hey Bob,
The All Star game isn't until July, but if it were to happen now, who would the starters be? A lot could change between now and then, but I'd like to recognize some of the top performers in the early goings. I'd love to hear your opinion on my choices, thanks a lot.

Hey Bob,
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.

Bob-
After a brief lay-off (no, not burn out, thank you Tim Pollock), here is my latest about creating a new team from this year's crop of unrestricted free agents. Let me know what you think. Thanks

DeleteBob,
Haven't heard much from you lately, but hope you're enjoying the good baseball the Rockies have been playing.
Not sure if you're a college baseball fan, but here’s my latest piece about the College World Series.
The student-athletes play with youthfulness and excitement and it’s sad that college baseball doesn’t get very much recognition.
Look forward to reading more of your stuff about the Rockies in the future.
