: About Me

I'm the head writer at 108 Red Stitches, a (hopefully) up and coming blog pertaining to the wonderful world of baseball.

Ideally, we try to provide daily updates concerning trades, rumors, signings, and any important happenings throughout the league (see Mitchell Report).

I played baseball my entire life and was recruited to play in college. Our school had a floundering baseball program, and to make a long story short; if you want any info on my college career, Google "Opposite ending of the movie Rudy". Coach gets fired, I get let go, and as the baseball Gods see fit, I'm offered a job at the school newspaper, covering the baseball team's season.

Along with my college roommate, we take over the college radio station's best time slot, and have a semi-successful sports talk show, titled "The Worst Damn Sports Show". Google "Painfully long NFL Injury Reports" for more info on the show.

Now, we're writing for 108 Red Stitches, our contribution to the world wide cluttering of the world wide web.

"You see, you spend a good piece of your life gripping a baseball, and in the end it turns out that it was the other way around all the time. " ~Jim Bouton, Ball Four, 1970

2 of 4

I'll be the first to admit that I do not like Barry Bonds. I never liked him when he was a Pirate, I never liked him when he played for the Giants, and I sure as hell didn't like him whenever he floated the idea of becoming a Yankee. As far as punishing Bonds, Major League Baseball has no right in punishing the "new home run king". Legally at least. You see, Bonds is a crafty man, or so he thought. By opting out of the players union, Bonds became a one man marketing dream. If you want Bonds in a video game (approved by Major League Baseball and the Players Union) you have to negotiate with...
