I both hate and love these types of moments. Here we are bottom of the 7th, two outs and runners on second and third. Maybe they'll walk me? If I was them, I wouldn't walk me but rather go right at me; fastball inside followed by a slider down and away. Then back with the … Continue reading Summer of 82′

Being Public but Private
I've had several conversations over the last month or so where I have found myself giving a description of the type of person I am. In these cases I have described myself as being an introverted extroverted person. Huh?
